    Food was terrible. Oysters came out, not on ice, no migonette, no cocktail sauce not even a lemon. Poor presentation. Waitress was clueless, bartender worse. $7 dollar salad had a hair in it. Girlfriend’s drink was so strong she couldn’t finish it. I had Duck, plate presentation was awful, looked like a Pile of dogfood thrown up. My girlfriend’s food was cold. Bad experience , restaurant was beautiful too bad it’s run so poorly. House manager offer free desert,, we declined. $150 dollar meal and not one course was acceptable. Will not return.

    Nice quiet restaurant, great views of the Lske, huge bar area, nice outdoor deck overlooking the lake. Plenty of parking. Brussels sprouts were really good. Chicken Caesar salad had very fatty chicken thighs. Could not eat it. Waitress took it off our bill. Nice!!

    Excellent food and service in such a lovely Keuka Lake community. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Our waitress, Jess, was great. The appetizer are always amazing. Very innovative and delicious. I had the salmon and my husband had the smoked short ribs. Both delicious were prepared with care.

    Nice options on the menu, filet mignon cooked nicely. For the location and billing, could have required a bit more premium service and attention to details, but still very good.

    My son ordered the duck and said it was great; my salmon was cooked perfectly; the rest of our group liked their dinners; and our waitress was excellent.

    Loved the atmoshere. Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful with the menu. The only problem we encountered was the coffee was not hot and I felt the salmon portion was very small for $32.
