The Sherwood Inn Restaurant
Dining at Skaneateles’ historic Sherwood Inn, with American dishes, tavern options and a central address by the north end of the lake.
About The Sherwood Inn Restaurant
The restaurant at The Sherwood Inn puts a meal inside one of Skaneateles’ longstanding hospitality addresses. The inn began as a stagecoach tavern in 1807, and its position on West Genesee Street remains useful for travelers exploring the village on foot. Dining here can be combined with a lakefront walk without adding another drive to the day.
The published food offering spans more than a single style of meal. American main courses sit alongside steaks and seafood offered with simpler preparations, while a tavern selection provides sandwiches and other less elaborate choices. A traveler can therefore choose the scale of the meal according to the rest of the visit, rather than treating the inn solely as a special-occasion restaurant.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner have separate menus. Their details and service periods should be checked on the dining page when booking; an item on one menu does not establish availability throughout the day. The central setting is part of the appeal, but a particular table or lake outlook should be requested rather than assumed.
For guests staying at the inn, the menu identifies a complimentary breakfast croissant. A full cooked breakfast is a separate order. For other visitors, the restaurant stands on its own as a convenient village meal. It is especially useful when the priority is a traditional inn setting and a broad menu close to the lake.
