Christmas Eve Dinner 2012 at the Rogues' Harbor Inn

Roasted Rack of Lamb with cranberry demi glace
It's hard to believe another year is nearly over and the holidays are here. We have much to be grateful for: a wonderful staff, the nicest guests on earth, a 182 year old inn (still standing, knock on wood)...Life is good.
We'll be grateful for a day or two off too. We will be closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day. But, we will be celebrating and spreading good cheer Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve with lots of seasonal specials and live music. Our inn is a memorable place to celebrate the holidays in the heart of the Finger Lakes.
Christmas Eve is my favorite. Everyone is on their way to church or a beloved relative's house- smiling, glowing even. We serve lots of contented guests for an early dinner; we close at 8 pm. Then we're off to spend the evening with our families.Chef Luke enjoys preparing holiday offerings. Reservations are suggested (607) 533-3535 and the specials for the evening are:

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 :)
