    the sign for the restaurant

    My partner wanted to stop by here as he knew it to have good food and to show me the place where he held a memorial service for his former partner of fifty years. Yes, that's 50 years, which is a long time for a gay couples. Anyway, Antique Inn is an interesting place with the focus of décor being based upon antiques. There are a good number of antiques, nice enough but I didn't see anything of particular note. And then there is always that very disturbing fact when you realize you and your partner are older than some of antiques on display. Antique Inn is one of those places that exudes a certain cozy charm about it which is enhanced by a most gracious and charming proprietor. It's a place where you really feel comfortable and at home. As I believe Antique Inn is basically a dinner place, the lunch menu is somewhat limited but more than adequate especially considering the fact that they have daily special offerings. For my meal I went for one of the deli sandwiches with pastrami, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo. It was a really good sandwich and to my delight and in sort of an Upstate New York tradition came in a Kaiser roll. My partner went for their Antique Inn Burger which, after no longer being able to put up with my petulance, let me try. As burgers go it too was very good and now with no surprise served in a Kaiser roll as opposed to the usual burger bun.

    Driving by and one quick glance, you wouldn't expect much from this restaurant. Once entering, there was a friendly face (Jenny) waiting to greet you with all smiles. This small but cozy and well decorated restaurant is very quaint. The menu is attractive, and surprisingly good. I went ahead and started off with the crab cakes. These were very tasty with real crab chunks that packed the cake. For mains I got the Prime Rib which was cooked the correct temperature. Taste wise, it was very well seasoned, not overly salty and well balanced. The accompanied spaghetti with homemade sauce was delicious. The biggest highlight of this experience was the great service and hospitality of Jenny. Not only the food was spectacular, Jenny will play a role of us returning as well. Don't let the old fashioned exterior discourage you, inside lies an old fashioned well kept restaurant with fantastic food.

    We had dinner here tonight and we were so happy with our meal. Jenny the owner waited on us and helped to make our night fabulous! The food is fantastic and Jenny's attitude made the night a fun outing. The stuffed shells were awesome and so was the salmon. We felt like we were treated like family here. This is a family owned and run restaurant the quality of service and congeniality of service is the beat so far on the Lake. You will not find better in Penn Yan. God knows we have tried and this lovely little place is now a home away from home for us!

    Prime rib with stewed tomato

    We purchased a summer home not too far from the antique Inn and while looking for local restaurants to try out, we had no idea this restaurant even existed until I looked at reviews in the area. We weren't a small party and they accommodated us with open arms. The staff was super friendly! Everyone in our party was happy with their ordering. The food that came out was delicious and hot. We order the fried haddock, prime rib, chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, manicotti, and the kid's had their spaghetti with meatball and fried shrimp dishes. My 4 year old DEVOURED the carrots that was her side dish. We were shocked! Our other kids all finished their fried shrimp baskets as well. Kid's can be the best or worst critics and obviously the chef at the Antique Inn did something right! My wife had the the manicotti and as a picky vegetarian, she loved her dinner. Her mother who's an Italian and ALWAYS critiques others' tomato sauce (or gravy) said she loved the taste and consistency. I had the prime rib. I asked for Med-rare and got Med-well. I ordered the queen cut but seemed a little small. Not a big deal for me though. The flavor and juiciness of this dish was OUTSTANDING and definitely made up for it. Talk about savoring every bite! The prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was comfortable and the food was great! We are so glad to find this hidden gem! We will definitely be back again for the excellent meals! Hats off to the chef! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND people to check this place out!

    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.

Pros: -The cocktails were lovely, very inventive, and delicious. Loved that they used fresh local strawberries! -The appetizers were also creative and tasty. We got the chef eggs and the cremini mushrooms. However for the price the apps were tiny -My entree (the Pasture - souvlaki with Israeli couscous and cucumber salad) was delicious, well seasoned and balanced Cons: -Service was shockingly slow. We had a 7:30 reservation and didn't get our entrees until 9pm. For almost every element we ordered (bread service, apps, entrees) we had to follow up with the waitress to see what the ETA would be. She apologized several times, but a manager got defensive and said that there was only one chef. It was a Saturday night and there were only 2 other small tables in the place, and maybe 3 people at the bar, so no clear reason why everything was so slow. At these prices, especially in Penn Yan, you would expect better service. -Most of our party ordered the Bucher. I understand it can be tricky to plate 5 burgers at once, but for this price, you'd expect the burgers to not come out soggy on the bottom. With the fried egg, gravy, and melted cheese the burgers only had one texture (mushy) and a one-note, overly rich flavor. Really needs a fresh or acidic element to add textural contrast and cut through the fat. The fries lacked seasoning, we needed to add more salt. -There was a surprise $15 credit card charge, which was not posted on their website or menus. We only saw it when it appeared on the final bill. While credit card surcharges aren't unheard of, in NY state they need to be posted ahead of time. Legality aside, hitting customers with a surprise charge at an upscale place like this is honestly tacky.

    We were excited to try this restaurant after the remodeling. We had been to the previous one (Top…read moreof the Lake) and it was terrible. So, seeing the updated decor and menu, had me thinking that the new owners are really serious about providing a fine dining experience to Kueka Lake. Evidently NOT. We went on a Tuesday at 6PM for our Anniversary and despite that being in our reservation notes twice, it was never acknowledged. Our water tender filled our glasses after 15 minutes of sitting and waiting with no greeting after the hostess stand. We asked her what the soup of the day was and she didn't know. Our server Riley B. Had no personality or personal skills. She did not offer any suggestions on drinks, meals, appetizers, etc. also failed to acknowledge our anniversary. She did inform us that they were out of the short rib. We ordered the crab fritters, mussels, and French onion soup for appetizers. 35 minutes for appetizers to arrive and the mussels were ice cold, shells were all cracked. It was terrible, ate about 2 each and sent them back. Crab fritters were ok, still undercooked in the middle, but we were so hungry we ate those. Onion soup came out about 10 minutes after and that was the ONLY item of quality. Our entrees were the Steak Frites and Alfredo pasta with chicken. Those arrived about 1 1/2 hours after we were seated. Service was terribly slow all night, as well as zero follow up, despite the restaurant being about a quarter full. Entrees did arrive hot, so that was appreciated. Pasta dish was not an Alfredo, more of light tomato pepper cream sauce. Steak was prepared as ordered, however about halfway through eating, I enjoyed a piece of jagged plastic that poked my mouth. That was the final straw. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the foreign object. Saved you a lawsuit, you're welcome! The new decorations were made less enjoyable by the constant onslaught of flies in the dining room, which we discovered was caused by your staff keeping the door to the deck wide open. The irony is there was no patrons on the deck, so that was an unnecessary waste of AC and failed sanitation practice. Our view of the lake would have also been better if you can manage to clean the windows once in awhile. Of course I was prepared to address all of these issues with the manager, but after asking for the manager and two servers searching for about 10 minutes, we were informed he went home for the day and the person in charge was the chef. In summary, the Main Deck is a pig in a pretty dress. Food is inconsistent, mediocre at best, service and training of the staff is lacking and poor. Standards in the back of the house are also missing, as evidenced by cold appetizers, slow arrival times, foreign objects in the food, and out of stock items. Would enjoy the owner contacting me, but I won't hold my breath. Do not waste your time or money at this establishment!
