4 Best Wine Bars near Skaneateles

“We LOVE the Krebs! The food is so amazing and you can't beat the aesthetic and atmosphere. Our server Jesse was fantastic and extremely personable!! He's very knowledgable and makes great suggestions, making our experience perfect! We will be back asap!“

“Comfortable restaurant with enclosed porch seating overlooking Skaneatales Lake. It's part of a very charming inn dating back to the early 1800s so waiting for a table in the cozy bar or by the lobby's roaring fireplace is a pleasure. The Sherwood Inn Favorites part of the menu is the most unusual, with old-fashioned dishes like a Yankee Pot Roast and roast chicken. Lots of mashed potatoes or Tavern Rice to accompany all entrees! We enjoyed the grilled duck breast and a roast beet salad which is suited to lighter appetites. Older crowd with lots of locals and more casual vibe in the bar. Delicious berry cobbler dessert.“

“My friend planned a surprise cocktail making and tasting event here for my bachelorette party and it was a huge hit! Nick and Sarah were so thoughtful and made the whole experience a blast. They accommodated our large group with ease and the drinks were delicious. I have such fun memories from this night and can’t wait to go back again sometime. I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I had a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner here and I will be back, but I'll be honest, I wasn't excited about going here. I left so pleasantly surprised after a terrific experience. So, the resteraunt is inside of an old house on a beautiful piece of farm land. It's clearly an older house, which I believe is historic. The inside was dated, but well maintained and very clean. By the end of the experience, I totally understood it. It was a vibe. It reminded me of resteraunts from the 90s, but everything was well maintained and again, very clean. The background music was an eclectic mix of 80s and 90s love songs (it was Valentines Day after all). So, initially I was hesitant based on the menu. It was full of classic dining dishes. There was nothing modern or innovative. BUT they pull off the classics very well and reminded us just why the classics are the classics. Very well done, Chef. We had the Beef Wellington, Lobster Bisque, French Onion Soup, the Calamari Special, a Baked Shrimp and Crab dish, and a Triple Chocolate Cake and Pecan Cheesecake. The main courses came with a salad, which we substituted for the Cesar Salad. The soups were terrific. No complaints. Bold and full of flavor. They tasted exactly how they're supposed to taste. The Calamari special was different. The Calamari was cut into strips. Lightly flash fried and seasoned well. It was paired with a unique sauce. I have to be honest, I don't remember what it was, but I really enjoyed it. The main courses had a basic plating. Based on appearances, I would have said, "ehhhh." The dishes were however executed very well. The Beef Wellington was excellent. Chef Gordon Ramsey would have approved. The Baked Shrimp and Crab was good, the flavor was there, but the shrimp were just slightly over cooked...which is very easy to do, so I'm not going to knock them too hard on this. It wasn't enough to ruin the dish. The Cesar Salad tasted exactly as it should. I would get it again. As for the deserts, I really enjoyed both. The cheesecake was surprisingly light, which was great because after a heavier meal I wasn't sure I could do desert. The crust was made up of pecans. It was great. If you like pecans you will like this. Now the triple chocolate cake. Decadent. Death by chocolate. Loved it. Lastly, I just want to touch on the service. Everyone was very friendly and professional - from coat check, to hostess, to our server (whose name I forgot!). Our server really helped make this a special night. Attentive, professional, and personable. I'll def. be back. I want to take my parents here when they visit.“
