Mother's Day Dinner at the Rogues' Harbor Inn

The first Sunday in May usually brings sunny warm weather in the Finger Lakes, sometimes not always. We've been serving Mother's Day Dinner at the Rogues' Harbor Inn for the past 15 years. Our first year it actually snowed, disappointing. This year we're feeling optimistic- a sunny, warm day for an outing- dinner, a stop at a nursery for some annuals, dessert outside in the sunshine...
If a nursery is one of your stops next Sunday, there are several really good ones just minutes from the Inn. I like gardening so I visit all of them frequently. I buy all of our herb plants and annuals at Bakers' Acres, ornamental grasses & native perennials at the Plantsmen, and indoor flowering plants and hand painted pots from Michaleen's. Between the three I am always planting something.
We'll be here for dinner all day (noon till eight) serving our new spring menu along with some warm weather Mom's Day specials with wine and beer suggestions. Reservations recommended   (607) 533-3535

New Entry at the Inn

Image
We are feeling very pleased with our new (and long overdue) entry. We are honored to know a local master craftsman that resurfaced the concrete steps, repaired the decorative woodwork, repaired the roof, and forged two wrought iron railings. It's very rewarding to repair/replace things on this beautiful building and make them look like they once did with quality design, materials and craftsmanship. It's always a challenge to decide (and budget) what is worth keeping or replicating and what isn't. We usually decide to keep or replicate. We want everything to look as original as possible. We had to have two columns replaced/replicated. We think they look spot on. Maybe we are the only ones that know which are new...and we think the wrought iron railings are much like what would have been in place originally. We should post "before" photos, but it was ugly. We always focus on the positive and progress, so we are only posting the demo, in progress, and the beautiful...

One of Our Winter Projects

Image
Room 9 was just refreshed and redecorated: new beautiful king size brass bed, new cute farmhouse distressed night stands, new table and ladder back chairs (with funky blue and white modern fabric seats), fresh paint all around, new cushy carpet, gorgeous East Lake marble top dresser, and even new room darkening drapes. I do love to refresh guest rooms. To see the finished room and to have guests love it as much as I do is a wonderful feeling. We always have a list of winter (slow season) projects, but this was my favorite this year. It's a hit with guests too :)
