Important Update regarding COVID-19 and current Federal and NYS Regulations
Indoor seating is once again allowed!
We are still offering takeout / curbside pickup. Online Orders can be placed HERE
In compliance with current NYS Executive Orders, a food purchase is required with the purchase of an alcoholic beverage. We have added some shareable and smaller items to our menu. Our license and therefore our livelihood require us to follow NYS guidelines, please do not ask us to make exceptions.
In order to maintain as much of our atmosphere as possible, we have reduced our seating significantly. We will not be adding Plexiglas or shower curtains in order to add more seats. It’s just not our vibe, and we don’t feel like changing that just to get two more seats available. Our goal is to provide a safe, socially distanced, comfortable experience for those who are looking for that. If that’s not your thing, we’re sure you can find a place that is more lenient with the regulations, but it’s not here. Here are some of the things we are doing:
– Face coverings – Per the current NYS Executive Order and reopening guidelines, all guests must wear a face covering except when seated. If you cannot wear, or refuse to wear a face covering, you can call 315-907-6060 to order and we can bring a to-go order to your car.
– All parties will be seated and orders taken at your table. We will bring your food and drink to your table.
– Please do not seat yourself or move or re-organize tables or take chairs from another table. Tables will be cleared and cleaned prior to the next party being seated.
– Menus, and other items will be sanitized after each use
– Reservations are recommended, especially for larger parties and our busier days. Call (315) 907-6060 during business hours to place your reservation.
–Please maintain a 6-foot distance between other customers and groups to the extent possible, and practice responsible social distancing.

We know there will be challenges to implementing the restrictions put in place to allow us to open. Our plan is to follow the state and local guidelines that are required for us to open the Tasting Room, and update policies as often as we need to, to remain in compliance. Our space is fairly small and narrow, and not designed with social distancing guidelines in mind. We’ve done our best to allow for as much of it as possible.
This is new for all of us, please be kind and patient and we will do the same
