“Simply the best. We've stayed at Seneca Lodge for the Annual Vintage event for over a decade. We've been very happy with them.“

“Have visited too many times to count since its opening and have been so happy with their delicious, fairly priced food and great customer service. Just stopped in a few days ago and had the chance to try their Seneca Fries— don’t miss those! Or their rotating seasonal cocktails. Family friendly and beautiful views!“

“We didn’t stay here but my wife and I got ice cream one afternoon during our trip to Watkins Glen. It is a great place to get good homemade ice cream! Way better than the Ben & Jerry’s that is nearby. Skip the national name brand and get this ice cream. You won’t regret it!“

“Great food and great service“

“What a great place! Live music and indoor or outdoor dining! Was in town so stopped by to see a friend. Had heard a lot of buzz about it. It did disappoint!!

“My husband and I had a lovely lunch at Glenora on a sunny, fall afternoon! Wonderful, friendly service and the food was unexpectedly delicious! It was cool, but we chose to sit on the deck to take in the incredible view. The staff was accommodating when we asked to start one of the patio heaters for us. We started with two glasses of sparkling - one blanc de blanc and one brut. We enjoyed both, they were very well-balanced. We then ordered the Squash Pumpkin soup and the Chicken Pot Pie. The soup was hearty, well-seasoned, and full of fall flavors. The pot pie came in a crock and was topped with a flaky, buttery crust, reminiscent of a french croissant. The pot pie filling was perfectly seasoned and had large pieces of chicken and potato (all tasted home-made - no can of cream of chicken soup in here!) The crock sat on a serving board and had a salad alongside - beautiful presentation! Overall, our experience was top-notch and can’t wait to go back and try more menu items!“

“Delicious burger and wine pairing! Give Red Newt a try for your next weekend lunch, you'll be glad you did! I had the newt burger with fries and a glass of Red Eft. The local ingredients create a hearty meal that fueled me rather than weighed me down. Can't wait to try another burger or a grilled cheese and soup. They put an elegant twist on all they do with bright and friendly staff.“

“We stopped in yesterday and had a nice bottle of wine. Assistant Wine Maker Rhett Seeley stopped by to chat. Never met him before, but he was passing by and we asked him for some recommendations. He was extremely helpful and friendly. We ended up buying the wines he recommended as well as some beautiful garlic, a bag of coffee and some wine glasses! They are known for their dry reds and they did not disappoint. I highly recommend adding Hector Wine Company to your list of stops along the wine trail.“

“Catharine Valley Winery offers a delightful experience with its great atmosphere, friendly people, and fantastic views. Nestled in a picturesque setting, it's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some exceptional wines and ciders. Whether you're a connoisseur or just looking to relax with a glass in hand, you'll find this winery to be the ideal spot for a lovely afternoon. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a taste of local charm and excellent beverages!“

“My wife and I just got married at Seneca Lake Brewing Co. yesterday and I cannot say enough good things. We chose the venue a little over a year ago and Brad and Megan were with us every step of the way planning and organizing our special day and it turned out perfect! We've visited frequently over the last year and gotten to know all of the staff there. From karaoke nights, to brewing our own beer to have on tap for the reception, to my wife being invited to play trumpet for one of their live music nights, you couldn't ask for a better place to call home. We will absolutely be going back as often as we can, and we recommend you do the same. 🙂“

“Laid back place to enjoy a meal in the Finger Lakes...which was great cause most wineries did not have great food choices. Most in the group had hamburgers and they were delicious. Staff was super friendly and food came out hot and quick. Not the biggest fan of their fries, but the spicy onion rings were excellent. Definitely a must stop to soak up the wine you are drinking. And if you like borboun, they have almost every Buffalo Trace company bottle at phenomenal prices...try some Pappy. Only warning is be careful in the Luxury bathroom...the bidet can scare the unwary.“
