Scrimshaw at The Desmond, the only AAA Four Diamond Award winning restaurant for four consecutive years in the Capital Region has recently introduced its newly renovated fine dining room and exquisite new menu. New Chef de Cuisine Stephen Fratianni and Executive Chef Michael St. John have teamed up to combine classic favorites with unique new menu offerings, including market fresh seafood offerings which change monthly and select table-side preparation to create a truly memorable and one of a kind fine dining experience.
Scrimshaw is the proud recipient of the American Culinary Federation Achievement of Excellence Award, the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and multi year AAA Four Diamond rating.
“Casual, light, friendly…definitely a
first date kind of place.” That's some of what the critics are
saying about Simpson’s Grille. Five chefs sharing 83 years of
experience have created menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner to
tantalize even the most discriminating taste buds. Sole
Francaise and Grilled Atlantic Salmon meet New York Sirloin and
Filet Mignon.
THE TAVERN
"Cozy, warm, inviting," a place
to relax and unwind. Sink into one of the leather sofas by the
fireplace or root for your favorite team while watching the big
screen televisions. Cocktails, cordials and an endless line of
beer taps accompany a lite
fare menu of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and
burgers.
