We are so blessed in the Ithaca area with several hard cider makers, tons of apple growers and at least 100 wonderful restaurants. We are honored to join forces and make it a celebration- Finger Lakes Cider Week 2015. Our chefs have created several hearty, apple inspired dishes plus we will be serving: Eve's Cidery's (Trumansburg, NY) Beckhorn Hollow, Original Sin's Hard Cider and Hazlitt's (Hector, NY) Cider Tree. Don't worry if you're not a hard cider person. Our brewers at Stouthearted have brewed two incredible IPAs which we think pair well with all our apple inspired offerings: Black IPA and Lemon Drop IPA. Apple growers, cideries and restaurants have come together for Finger Lakes Cider Week to bring you the best eating and drinking of the year. It's October 2 - 11. Don't miss it!

Mediterranean Chicken with Balsamic Reduction  Yippeeee! It's finally warm. Our favorite time of year and food are here- locally sourced and super fresh. Chef Vincent has outdone himself with our new spring dinner offerings. As always, we suggest wine and beer pairings with all our locally sourced, globally inspired dinners. Some new sources are: The Piggery (pulled pork), Cayuga Pure Organics (polenta), Gray Rabbit's Farm (salad greens). My favorite new offerings are the Piggery Pulled Pork with Sun-Dried Tomato Polenta (GF) paired with our Stouthearted's Cayuga Cream Ale or Goosewatch's Pinot Grigio, and the Cajun Grilled Vegetable Flatbread (vegan) paired with our Stouthearted's East Shore Pale Ale or Long Point's Ciera Dry Rose. The whole menu is on our restaurant page  http://www.roguesharbor.com/restaurant/menu. Feels so good to be serving outside on our porch again.
