Our waitress, Jen, was amazing! Food was great, views were too!

Typical bar food. The view makes up for the average food. The front door sticks, so we thought the place was closed. There are no signs that point to which door or where you're supposed to enter. It was very tricky getting into the place, as we ended up going around back and going through the back door. Regardless, we'll return. The setting is beautiful!!

Food was very good enjoyed the seasoned mixed veggies, broiled fish was good. 1st people in dinning room & still took 45 minutes to get appetizers. Would go back for food & deck is nice

Now this is an out of the way local kinda place...but the staff is Super friendly. The food was rather good and service was good despite only 2 gals working out front and maybe two in the kitchen they did their best to keep everyone happy. Our food came out after a pretty long wait and it was Hot. My brother's drink was forgotten for a while, but when I told the gal waiting...she was mortified. She made it on the spot. I should probably be giving them 4 on the service...but rest assured I Would go there again.

Awesome food

Food was wonderful, although we had quite a wait. We sat on deck, which goes all the way across the restaurant! The older portion of the building has been cleaned up and is usable, too. The owner, Melissa, was welcoming and chatted with us briefly, even though she was very busy. Check it out!!

Vegetarian options: There are not a lot of choices that are vegetarian, but there are some. I had the veggie burger and sweet potato fries, both choices being yummy!

Great place!! We had the (cordon) blue balls, fried pickles and wings to start, delicious!! They had a speedy chicken club sandwich special that was amazing they really know how to cook chicken. Service was fast and friendly. Really impressed since there isn't much of anything else in the area. Definitely will be returning when I'm back in town.

I stopped in for a drink and ordered a steak to go. I ended up running in to an old friend...so I took my steak home cold...it ended up being one of the best steaks I've ever had...and actually warmed it up in the microwave!! The bartender Amanda was awesome....if you're ever in the area between Skaneateles and Homer you should definitely stop.
