Southern Italian Wine Dinner

Don't look now, but the south is rising again - the south of Italy that is. Long ignored by fine-wine lovers, the vineyards of southern Italy are undergoing a renaissance. For the past several years, the newest news within Italy has concerned the nation's rediscovery of its ancient native varieties and the application to them of the best of modern technology.

Your stay with us would not be complete without a romantic meal in the simple yet elegant setting of our dining room at the Inn. Country ambiance in an Adirondack setting sets the mood as the sun dips low outside. The dining room's original tin ceiling and burnished woodwork glows with rustic elegance. The meal, always of the freshest ingredients, is creatively composed and professionally served. The sommelier is available for advice on a wine selection, and the unhurried pace will allow you to relax and truly enjoy this fine Adirondack dining experience that is the restaurant at Friends Lake Inn.

	After a good night's sleep at the Inn, visitors enjoy a hearty breakfast featuring everything from locally smoked Oscar's bacon and Strawberry Crepes Fitzgerald to Sweet potato French Toast.

Several dining options are available to you:

Our Lakeview Dining Room is a sunny room with a beautiful view of the lake.

The Main Dining Room is the Inn's original dining room, complete with burnished woodwork, a brick fireplace, and painted tin ceiling.

Adjacent to our lounge, the Parlor has a lovely brick fireplace and a cozy ambiance. The glow of candlelight enhances its intimate atmosphere.

Finally, our private Wine Cellar Dining Room accommodates parties of 8 to 14 at one large dining table. Comfortable Mission-style furniture and an antler chandelier grace this space, which guests enter after passing by a glass-enclosed portion of the cellar, housing a portion of the Inn's extensive wine collection.
