Early Evening Menu Timed With Opera’s Curtain Rising 1909/From Pg. 3 former Lobby Bar and the small Glimmerglass Room reconfigured into an intimate dinner space. “We use the Glimmerglass Room for our breakfast buffet and for lunch, but we wanted something different for the evening meal,” he said. “We removed two walls and opened up the double-sided fireplace, so now everyone feels like they’re in the main room. The dining room also opens out onto the veranda. “We’ve had such great weather this summer, so people have really enjoyed dining out there,” said Miles. In addition to the Wagyu, the new house-made salami plate is also sliced tableside, using a hand-cranked Red Berkel slicer. “You see it getting done,” he said. “You can have it sliced however thin you want it.” The menu is designed to be an upgraded version of a classic American

1909’s offerings are also a delight to survey.

steakhouse, overseen by Executive Chef Jim Perillo. “I want people to experience something they’ve never had before,” he said. The meal starts with house-made bread and goat-cheese butter. “I love goat cheese,” said Perillo. That it’s local, from the Painted Goat farm in Garrattsville, only adds to the allure. The goat cheese also appears in the Spring Vegetable Crudite, stuffed inside a squash blossom and

fried crispy in a gluten-free rice flour batter. “Squash blossoms are part of my Italian heritage,” he said. Garnished with bright green herb tahini, Perillo knows there’s more than just taste involved in eating. “People eat with their eyes as well as their stomachs,” said Miles. “It’s a lot of artistry, and Jim is good with that.” For entrees, the house specialties include mint and garlic lamb, pan-roasted tilefish or, if you’re really hungry, a 36-ounce, longbone Tomahawk steak. “We advertise it for two,” said Miles. “If portion size is an issue, this steak just flies in the face of that.” “It’s a Fred Flintstone steak,” said Perillo. And like the Tomahawk steak, the sides – favorites include the handcut fries, the loaded baked potato and the Mexican cream corn – are designed for sharing.

“They’re big; we joke that our baked potato comes with a pillow!” Perillo said. “But really, you haven’t lived until you’ve had our Mexican cream corn.” Whatever your entree, you’ll want to save room for dessert. “The lemon curd is my favorite,” said Miles. “It’s perfect on a hot summer day.” The restaurant opens at 5:30 p.m. every night, offering a prix fixe menu specifically timed for visitors with Glimmerglass Festival tickets. “We can have them in and out and on the trolley to make curtain,” said Miles. “We didn’t want them to feel left out.” The restaurant will close at the end of the season in October, but Miles said he intends to host specialty dinners in the space in the winter. “With a little nip outside and the fireplace going, we think 1909 will be very inviting,” said Miles.

Around the Utica area, visitors can see some of Tiffany’s works still in use.

“The Auburn Chapel has one, and the Westminster Church has seven,” she said. “Grace Church also has one, and there are several in the capital district.” In Otsego County, there are two at Christ Church in Cooperstown and seven in Richfield Springs. “I don’t know how to describe his work,” said D’Ambrosio. “Amazing artistry doesn’t even begin to describe it.”
