“We stopped in while walking around Watkins Glen, based on some good online reviews. We came in just as they were opening. Our server, Tina, took excellent care of us. A nice comfortable old school dining room, TVs all around. Friday lunchtime, there were no games to watch. The food was excellent. I had the breaded Buffalo chicken sandwich, others had the fish and chips and the grilled chicken salad. All were excellent, especially the fish and chips (Friday only). Light, crisp tasty fish and great french fries. Highly recommended. (We joked about Blue Moon being garnished with an onion rather than an orange, hence the beer picture.)“

“We are always impressed. We confidently invite our friends; business colleagues for meetings…. Wine is local and fresh, local beer choices excellent. Impressive stills. The plates are fresh crafted and awesome in appearance, flavors, temperature, just pretty darn completely happy. Oh and the people… everyone, Andrew & team, on game and just the best.Kid-friendliness: Relaxed environment for children to enjoy.“

“Solera is our old reliable for the area.The beer is always cold and there’s a big rotating selection of drafts. If you particularly enjoy a specific draft, you can buy a 28(?) oz growler to take it home. The cocktails are great as well.The food was surprisingly good too for a bar! The boneless chicken wings (nuggets) were great. The best thing to try on your visit is definitely the dill pickle bacon grilled cheese washed down with a nice cold beer.The bartenders are always friendly and nice.“
