Newly opened in the summer of
2005, MadderLake Cafe, located in the heart
of the Finger Lakes Wine Country, has
already become a favorite among the area's
food and wine enthusiasts, both locals and
visitors alike.
MadderLake is owned and operated
by chef Scott Snyder and manager-
and-sommelier Laura Kudla, both of whom,
before moving to the Finger Lakes Region in
2004, held key management positions in a
number of notable restaurants in Northern
California's wine country.
Laura and Scott describe the
food at MadderLake as "Finger Lakes Wine
Country fare, drawing inspiration from
American regional styles". Scott seeks out
the best quality raw materials available—
fresh Dungeness crab and cold-smoked
sturgeon from California, sashimi-grade tuna
from Hawaii, organic heirloom grits and
polenta from Anson Mills in South Carolina,
for example—and puts particular emphasis on
sourcing Finger Lakes produce, organic when
possible, from small farms, local artisanal
cheeses, and other local farm products.
Laura's wine list, though modest
in scale, is very carefully selected, and
features not only the best of the Finger
Lakes, but also excellent off-the-beaten
path selections from California, the Pacific
Northwest, and around the world.
In spite of their ambition to
provide first-quality food and service and a
singular aesthetic, Laura and Scott
nevertheless prefer to regard MadderLake as
a very personal "mom-and-pop" effort. Scott
is in the kitchen all day every day, and
performs the lion's share of the cooking
duties, and Laura, in addition to attending
to the behind-the-scenes business matters,
also greets nearly each and every guest, and
personally waits on many.
The owners and staff at
MadderLake Cafe look forward to seeing you!
