We have gone to this restaurant twice now. The second time we only went there because the switzerland Inn was completely full. We told ourselves after the first time we would not go back. But we wanted to try one more time. Is the only good thing I can say is the view. Both times our service was not stellar. Both times we were rarely checked on. To the point where we had to go to the bar to get more drinks. The first time I had ordered an appetizer and never received it until I reminded the waitress and she brought it out with my dinner. Both times we were one of the first people seated and yet one of the last people to get our order taken even though we tried to do so with our drink order. The second time it took a total of two hours to get our dinner. That is completely unacceptable. The first time, we also had to wait a long time for dinner, but not two hours. The only time the waitress said anything about what time our food was coming out. Was when I think she realized? We were going to walk out without our dinner. And then want to talk to the chef Which we were told we had to wait another ten minutes for our dinner. Which was three kids meals and four panini's. At the time our dinner came out, we were so upset, we just got it to go. We got nothing but an, I'm sorry, When we were clearly upset that we had to wait that long.You would think after waiting 2 hours and a $200 bill. That something would have been written or taken off. But again nothing. WE WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK.

The view is wonderful. My husband loved his burger. My pizza came out undercooked to the point I could see the individual cheese shreds. I asked to have it thrown in the over a little longer. The waitress brought it back about 5 minutes later looking exactly the same and told me it was “bubbling”. The flavor was mid but we made the best of it by enjoying the gorgeous view. I didn’t eat much and left hangry enough to take time out of my vacation to write this.

Lobster roll and chicken salad were great, as were the smashed burger. The weakest part were the buns. Service was great.

The shrimp wasn't great and it took a while for the food to come out. Luckily, the workers were all very kind, and the outdoor area has a great view of Keuka Lake!Parking: There's a few spots for boats, which can get filled up pretty fast. There's also a small parking lot for cars in the front of the restaurant.

The food took such a long time to come out and everything was mid. Also some of the meals on the menu were not available. On the other hand, the server was good and the view outside was nice.

Definitely nothing special about this place other than the view. Poorly managed. Kitchen wasn't ready, the bar wouldn't exchange a beer when something was floating in it, and the food was very average. Definitely better places in the

We went on a Sunday afternoon, and none of the specials were available. A couple of items on the menu weren't available, or they said they haven't taken them off the menu yet. I always love eating outside on the deck though.

We went to the Waterfront for our anniversary, we had been there multiple times before and always had a solid experience. Unfortunately, this visit was subpar and we will not be back. The waitress forgot to put in our order for our appetizer. When the main course arrived, the crab legs that my wife ordered were cold. I ordered the clam bake, and the clams were also cold. The butter, which was some kind of combination of butter and margarine, was luke warm. The clam bake was all presented separately and was definitely not cooked together. The andouille sausage was actually kielbasa and came out on a separate plate. The clam bake was barely edible. We give two stars because of the location and the perfect weather. Otherwise, this was a horrible way to spend our anniversary. It is sad for us to see a place that we love so much in such decline.
