Cranes in the air: The Krebs restaurant in Skaneateles

The Krebs Restaurant in Skaneateles

The building housing The Krebs restaurant dates to 1845, and it began as a restaurant under Cora Krebs in 1899. According to owner Adam Weitsman, the project is a board-for-board, historical renovation with a faade that will look identical to the previous one but will be updated. The project includes a new porch, new roof, an addition on the rear of the building and new landscaping. The interior will be modernized and will have an upscale, tavern feeling and all functions kitchen, dining room and bar will be on one level.

The new Krebs will operate under a concept known as farm to table. That includes sourcing as much of its food from local farms and markets as possible. The restaurant will be open three and a half days a week, from Thursday to Sunday brunch, with the menu changing daily. All proceeds from the restaurant will go toward local womens and childrens charities.
