Gaffer Grille and Tap Room

DOWNTOWN. Applauded for its comfortable atmosphere and wonderful cuisine, this restaurant offers a touch of Victorian style and a few decorative nods to Corning's glassmaking industry. The menu features customary grill fare, complete with steaks, seafood, pastas, and chicken. However, they often get a gourmet kick, courtesy of a special sauce, savory coating, or unusual ingredient. The popular place keeps a full bar too, and the Tap Room is ideal for late-night dining.
