We stopped here for lunch and so glad we did. I got the turkey Panini which was really good and enjoyed the apple slices in it! My husband got the Reuben which he also liked. You order at the counter window. There is no table service and beer can selection is minimal (no draft) They also have wine and specialty cocktails. There's a nice view, if you can get a window table seat. We liked it here and will be going back.

Great place for sandwiches and/or lunch. Everything was terrific. The service was very good despite it being pretty busy. The from the dining room and outside are exactly what you’re looking for in the area. I’d go back over and over again.

The sandwiches are SO tasty!!!! I love the fried chicken, turkey ruben, fish (a special), but every sandwich looks delicious! The curly and sweet potato fries are also so tasty. They have amazing garlic aioli that goes so well with them. I highly recommend!! Also- DOG FRIENDLY inside!!

I came by for a friday fish fry and it was delicious! The fish is juicy inside with a nice batter on the outside, the curly fries are tasty and the slaw had a ton of flavor! You order at the counter and bust your own table. Overall the vibe is pretty laid back.

While our food was good, the service was terrible. My partner and I walked into this establishment shortly after opening and ordered coffee with our food. We then watched everyone who came in after us be served fresh coffee while we waited for over 30 minutes for ours. It is a shame to think that people wouldn’t serve you because of your race/if you’re a mixed couple/etc. however, it was very clear to us that this is exactly why we weren’t served our coffee this morning. This was not an honest mistake. We will never be back.

Great little spot! The sandwiches are delicious—fresh, well made, and definitely the highlight here. The place used to have an amazing porch, but now it’s covered up. Still, the best part is heading out back. The backyard opens onto a valley that rolls into a lake, and the view is absolutely stunning—like looking at a living painting. I recommend grabbing a sandwich and sitting outside to enjoy the scenery. Simple food, unforgettable setting.

I literally love The Elf In the Oak so much. I think about it daily and have to talk myself out of eating it for lunch every day. The staff is so great every time. The food is high quality and delicious. Bonus points for it being dog friendly. They even bring out a water bowl for my dog. The Elf in the Oak is a community staple and a can't miss for visitors.

This place to me is a delicious stop on the finger Lakes wine trail. Tho shortstaffed the time I was there I could tell the waitress was doing her best. The service was excellent. The view is immaculate. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was very delicious. All the staff are friendly and welcoming.
