Frommer's Review

This upscale restaurant, run by a husband-wife team on Corning's historic Market Street, is tops for dining in this agreeable town and is popular with locals for a special night out. On its creative American menu, signature dishes include excellent salads, crispy Chesapeake crab and corn cakes, and honey-roasted, pecan-crusted pork tenderloin. Lots of Finger Lakes wines make the nice but manageable list. Gourmands will be interested in the Chef's Table, a specially prepared five- or seven-course dinner paired with wines (for groups of four to eight people only, at $60-$75 per person). One side of the high-ceilinged restaurant is a lively bar known for its excellent martinis, with a special bar menu (and free Mediterranean olive bar on Thurs evenings).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
