first established alongside the red newt cellars by debra whiting in 1998, the red newt bistro has always celebrated the region's best farmers?and without patting themselves on the back for it too much. the winery gained early acclaim as one of the top riesling producers in the finger lakes. after whiting passed away in 2011, the bistro has morphed into a friendly counter-service operation under the direction of chef jeremy personius, with modern comfort-food favorites ranging from a kale caesar salad to kimchi grilled cheese and griddled mac-and-cheese with ham, bacon, or pickled peppers. with a wood-burning stove and cozy interior, it's welcoming in all seasons but especially inviting in the winter.it is a great place to stop for lunch while in the finger lakes. we continue a decades long tradition of working closely with local farmers to offer fresh and delicious local fare. quick service and simple, delicious food sourced from finger lakes farms is the perfect complement to a glass of wine while enjoying our cozy dining room and warm fireplace.. 11am ? 3pm
