Enjoy a cool drink from the well equipped alcohol/wine/beer stocked bar before settling in for your entrée. Taste the fresh and local ingredients, prepared in each menu item. With great service, fresh food at reasonable prices- this restaurant will become one of your favorites. P.S. Given the opportunity, you have to try the house made Macaroni Salad, it's as good as you remember!

18th Amendment was a fantastic choice for a memorable dinner while visiting the area with family…read more Our group included three senior citizens, a baby, and three adults, and we were looking for a legitimate dining experience - it is vacation, after all! I had walked past 18th Amendment earlier in the week and thought it looked worth checking out - just peering in the window, it had a great atmosphere and inviting vibe. When I requested an online reservation I received a prompt and friendly callback - and when we arrived the next night, they had a highchair set up and waiting for us. The cocktails were excellent. I don't mind paying almost city prices when drinks are thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and unique - these absolutely delivered. Our server was wonderful. We asked whether the chef could prepare something for the baby and she quickly returned with several options. Since it was his first birthday, we let him splurge and ordered a filet with risotto. The kitchen sent it out right away, which helped avoid an imminent pre-bedtime meltdown. Dad tax applied--the baby's dinner was delicious! The bartender even sent over a small mocktail for him to try - a thoughtful touch. Every entrée at the table was phenomenal and everyone cleaned their plates. The ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and the quality was evident throughout the meal. Great food paired with outstanding service made it easy to justify the price, which again, was not extraordinarily high, all things considered. I highly recommend 18th Amendment if you're looking for a dining experience that's a step above the ordinary.

We dined here on a Wednesday evening in early August. The meal began auspiciously, the host moving…read morethings around so we did not have to sit at a high top. The free bread was warm and delicious. The brown butter Manhattan was on point. An amuse bouche arrived. We shared the "Eggs on Eggs" starter - deviled eggs topped with caviar and blinis. For $31, we received two eggs, each halved and topped with a blini and a small amount of indistinguishable caviar, with a bit of shredded lettuce. While tasty, neither the ingredients nor presentation justified the price tag. With the mains, I had a glass of Hector wine essence. That was also good. But the egg topped pork chop was chewy and also pricy at $39. The menu promised a hash, but it sat on top of fries. If memory serves, La Portena's crab dish, a special, was announced as a saute, but turned out to be crab cakes. These commanded a $43 price tag. This was a nice enough dish, but expensive for what it was. If you are sensing a theme here, I think the prices here are about 20% higher than they should be. Perhaps we came on an off night. Later that week, we ate at the Burnt Rose, under the same management, and had a better experience.

BEST. BAR. EVER!…read more Drinks are delicious and cheap. The owner is always working and treats you just like family. I visit this bar about once a year and I am always treated so kind. My favorite thing about this bar is that it is within walking distance from the Hampton inn! You can enjoy some food and drinks and then walk back to the hotel. This most recent time I visited I enjoyed the meatballs and some rum and cokes. They offer different food specials throughout the week. They also have most types of liquor and beers. You can spend a few hours here and it won't cost you much! This is not a high class bar so if that's what your looking for, go somewhere else. This bar is perfect for cheap drinks and good company. 5 stars all the way!

We were welcomed in extremely warmly, there was only 4 in our party but it was slow and they offered a nice more private room. We had two wine flights which were lovely both in flavor and explanation and backstory that came with each bottle.

So very grateful for this experience genuinely made our first trip to the finger lakes extra special. 100% recommend

We sat at one of the tables near the electric fireplace. There's a decent amount seating, including tables, comfortable chairs and sofas. The lighting is dim, which helps create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. They had holiday drink specials as well as more classic drink options, including a variety of beers and wine. I opted for the classic Lemon Drop while my fiance ordered the mulled wine. Both drinks were perfect! We enjoyed them and chatted with the staff before we left. You can tell the staff prides themselves on offering the best service possible and they go out of their way to ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area!
