FLX Restaurant Week at the Rogues' Harbor Inn

We have always been inspired by locally sourced ingredients, wine, beer, spirits, art,... It's not a secret. We wear our heart on our sleeve. So when we were invited to participate in Finger Lakes Restaurant Week, we quickly said, "Yes!" The Finger Lakes Restaurant Week is a seven day celebration of local ingredients complemented by local wine (and beer at our inn). Every restaurant joining the event is featuring a three course dinner special which is 100% locally sourced.
We feature lots and lots of locally sourced ingredients on our dinner menu, but 100% locally sourced is a challenge we were proud and excited to accept. So we did a little extra homework and found several new farms and purveyors. We discovered some great new ingredients and rediscovered a few old favorites. We've printed the list of local farms and producers along with their location providing our ingredients for the dinner right on the menu itself.
We included wine and beer pairing suggestions as always and the celebration starts Monday, October 22. Don't miss it! You only have one week to visit a lot of wonderful restaurants in Ithaca and the surrounding Finger Lakes' area offering this special 100% locally sourced menu. Here's ours:

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 :)
