Visited this restaurant on a whim based on reviews last night after hiking Watkins Glen State Park. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! My husband had the duck and I had the trout. We split the mussels and green salad. The wine the beer everything was fantastic and the staff is very attentive. Definitely going back again!!!!
As locals we like to support local establishments, but dinner last night was very disappointing. My $55 dry-aged steak was mostly gristle and my $23 glass of wine can be purchased locally for $45 per bottle. The seats were so uncomfortable as to be painful.
