Our Guestbook
“ Made reservations - 2 bands playing today. Strong recommendation to do so if coming on a weekend. We had not been here in 2-3 years as the food had not been great prior. This time, however, food was great - prices are normal for the area, maybe slightly inflated for being on the lake but not noticeably so. Service was fairly transactional. Steak salad was good at $19. Nice busy place on the lake - reservation recommended esp if you want to sit outside in the summer... ”
“ Our waitress was a great conversation. Food was delicious & well priced. The ambiance is amazing, Such beautiful lake view outside dining. First time going, Definitely will be back. ”
“ Great stop for lunch. It's a fun place to watch the boats come in and out. The food is good and portions are large. Our waitress was sweet and patient while we made our decisions. ”
“ We pulled in just in time to see the sunset and hear some amazing live music from some local guys. The food was pretty good for a lakeside vibe! Outdoor patio and views were unbeatable and the fish and chips were outstanding. Good selection of local beers and wines from the glass. Definitely stop by if you are in the finger lakes area! ”
“ The view is worth the money. The service is great. The food is okay but again the view is super duper. The experience was lovely. Drop in. ”
“ Nicole did a wonderful job welcoming us to dinner and providing amazing service throughout our meal. We were seated on the outdoor patio and had an amazing view of the sunset as we dined. Our drinks were refreshing, the food was served piping hot. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie we took home for dessert was one of the best ones we tried around Keuka Lake. I enjoyed the chunks of Reese's peanut butter cups throughout the mousse filling! This place came highly recommended from several local business as the spot to grab local fare and we were not disappointed. We hope to return for live music soon! ”
“ We had a great medium rare prime rib and Finger Lakes Beer Watermelon brew. Sitting on the deck at sunset and music playing on the deck below us Great service and great company. What else can you ask for. Yum. ”
“ Do y'all see the view in my photos? This place is right on the water so you can see the beautiful lake in all its sunset glory. We asked to be seated outside and besides the mosquitos and heat, the view did not disappoint. I asked my server what was their sweetest red wine and she recommended the Hazlitt Red and I legit wanted to get a bottle. It was brought to me chilled and tasted so delightful. I'm such a sucker for sweet wine. My boyfriend got a spiked lemonade and clearly liked it enough to get 2. We got the spinach dip which was really delicious and I got a pasta while he got fish and fries. Both were reasonably priced and the ambiance of the seating outside just made the dinner all the better. I highly recommend to eat it if you're ever in the area. It's only 15-20 minutes from Beaver Dams and Watkins Glen so we're glad we made the drive. ”
