D & R Depot Restaurant | Le Roy
Dine in this adorable and cozy former B & O train depot for a date night out. Start off with Stuffed Mushrooms, Artichokes French, Clams Casino, or Bruschetta before digging into the main course - you can’t go wrong with the Grilled Norwegian Salmon or Twin Filet Mignon.
Indian Falls Log Cabin Restaurant | Corfu
On a cold winter's night, where else would you rather be than inside a log cabin next to a stone fireplace? To add to the romance, the restaurant overlooks the rushing waters of Indian Falls. Enjoy steaks and seafood, or try a taste of our region with their Maple Cheddar Burger which features Yancee’s Fancy Maple Cheddar cheese!
The Original Red Osier Landmark Restaurant | Stafford
An iconic restaurant in these parts for decades and it’s no surprise: Red Osier is destination dining at its finest! Add some 'surf' to their famous 'turf' - Prime Rib carved tableside. Try to save room for dessert; a night out at Red Osier isn’t complete without a Bananas Foster Flambé for two.
