Mother's day brunch was incredibly over priced for what it turned out to be. Cold, tough tasteless food, and not much of it. Poor quality ingredients poorly prepared. This brunch cost over $250 for my family of four! I expect better than what we got for the money, especially given how nice the place looked. They also stopped refilling the stations about a half hour into our seating. Shameless money grab.

Mother's Day brunch was a disappointment. We began at one station in the main dining room. There were 3 stations, however our waitress didn't tell us about the other 2. We saw someone with different food and realized there was more food in the bar area. By then we partially ate what we had chosen which was luke warm at best. At this point we lost interest because the quiche in the bar area was cold. We ended our meal. $45/plate was very pricey for what we had. It's a beautiful venue but the food could use some attention.
The waitress was very nice and accommodating. My wife ordered the fish fry and a side Caesar salad. She got the fish with about a cup of kale that was supposed to be the Caesar salad. Never had a kale Caesar, was expecting romaine. Did not get the fries - the waitress assumed she wanted the salad in place of the fries. She did not ask for that. She asked to get the fish with the fries as indicated on the menu, with a side Caesar. The waitress did bring fries over after she asked about them but she was almost done with the fish. We were not charged for the Caesar. This was our first time at your restaurant. The setting is very nice but the menu is misleading - we go out to dinner all the time and a side Caesar is just that - on the side and made with romaine. My meal was fine. How about getting martini glasses for a martini?? You have a very nice place but some things weren't up to standard. Recommend with some reservations.
I cannot compliment the staff at this restaurant enough! We came on a Saturday night, 4 of us with my 2 year old niece. we were seated promptly and the staff brought over a coloring page, some crayons and a kiddie cup for my niece immediately which was so appreciated! our server was absolutely amazing, answered and accommodated all of our questions with a smile. we split a few appetizers as well as two entrees and a bottle of wine. the food was DELICIOUS and really well priced. I highly recommend the brussels sprouts and the fish tacos! we had an amazing experience here and will certainly be back! THANK YOU!
Valerie and Nick were great waiting on us. We loved the view, food, and decor. Drinks were great! We were very glad to we made reservations and they accommodated us with our seating as requested. We will be back again when we visit Penn Yan. We had haddock and it was superb reminded me of the haddock at the beach when my father took our family growing up.

We had a relaxing Friday night dinner after a long week! Excellent fish fry! Pistachio Crème Brûlée!! Huge strawberry shortcake And our favorite person Vanessa was our server but she is more like a friend that gives us food!!

This place is very nice. We started here for our brunch before wine tasting. Servers were very personable and the food was great. Really nice views of the lake. I would definitely go back.
We loved our time at main deck. The restaurant sits right on the water so the view was beautiful. The service was excellent. The food and drink were great. Highly recommend if you're in the area and don't forget to make a reservation!

Great dinner on a very busy night. Staff was friendly and seemed to take the crowd in stride. Food was delicious, and the view is beautiful. Fantastic live entertainment on 4/6/2024!!

We had a great time at the Easter brunch. It was our first time there and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food and service was excellent. Thanks so much for making our holiday memorable!
AMAZING food and service! We came from Buffalo for my birthday and had a wonderful time. The hospitality was incredible! Upon our arrival, our table was set up with a birthday card signed by everyone working that night. We ordered the cacio e pepe and salmon and the food was SO good and SO beautifully plated. We will be back for sure!!

Stopped by for dinner here with my mother ,we were early, so we got a chance to pick our table with a great view of the lake. For appetizers, we had the Burratta and pork belly, and for the main course, we tried the roasted chicken and the skirt steak. Everything tasted great, and the view just added to the meal. The only disappointment was that they were out of the schnitzel, but I guess that's just another reason to go back.

Arugula salad was excellent. The brussel sprout appetizer had no seasoning but did have raw cold white onion on top sliced too thickly. I love onions but these needed to be sliced thinly and ideally should have been red onions. Also,they needed to be lightly sauteed so it would be less jarring with the hot brussel sprouts.I ordered the schnitzel which came with red cabbage and pastel. Spaetzel was ok. The red cabbage was not sufficiently pickled and came cold. Again , it was jarring to have cold cabbage with a hot meal. The schnitzel was overcooked and very dry. There was a mustard sauce on it but it missed in subtlety and flavor. Tasted mainly like yellow mustard and did not add much moisture or flavor to the schnitzel.Our drinks were excellent, we had the old fashioned.This was all on a Saturday evening with the dining room somewhat empty. The view of the lake was as usual great.Parking: Watch out for the pot holes as you go down the driveway

Server Michelle was great. The menu had a wide variety of choices, and we all loved our meals. Drinks were on point. I can't wait to go during the summer season and sit outside on the deck, overlooking the lake. The boating decor was elegant and amazing! I appreciated all of it!
