    The vibe is very modern and cool! The interior space is super well decorated, but it doesn't really fit in with the cutesy vibe of downtown Skaneateles. The food is a bit expensive and is good, but not great. The elote was okay and the fish tacos could've used a bit more seasoning. Overall, we will probably try a new spot the next time we're visiting. The drinks are great, though!

    Triple dipper
    Kellie B.

    Want to visit an upscale, classy, Mexican restaurant well......Elephant and The Dove located in Skaneateles, New York is the place for you! The inside is such a classy clean, neutral colors that are inviting. The second floor was my favorite as it has a large amount of natural light coming in. They have a basement for large private parties. They have seating for family like intimate dining. This restaurant feels like home! From the lighting that's unique to the wall art to the pillows on the chairs! There are two entrances one in the front that has an inviting home like cozy feel and then the back entrance that you can enter from the parking lot. The back entrance was a tad bit confusing to get to the main dining area however go through the front and exit out the back. The service was amazing. My server was prompt. She allowed me enough time to review my menu. She offered recommendations, and when I asked, for her honest opinion, she was able to assist me, and it did not fail. The food was amazing. I got the triple dipper which was a sample of salsa, guacamole, and queso. When I tell you, the guac was amazing with the right amount of garlic, and the queso was superb. It's making my mouth water just thinking about this appetizer and even the tortilla chips were the exact amount of salt and crisp. I got the Mexican mule to drink, which was an average drink. Nothing to talk about. My dinner was the burrito bowl and I got a side of Mexican street corn that was off the cob. The food was quick to the table. After ordering I cannot brag enough about how great the food was, and the service was great too! I highly recommend visiting Elephant and The Dove! I will definitely be bringing my family and friends here when they come to visit! To the owners you're doing a great job with food and service! I cannot brag enough about Elephant and The Dove!! Cheers

    Carne Asada burrito
    Maureen M.

    What a cute place! It's just not ADA friendly. The staff was very nice. The food was over all pretty tasty. Chips and 3 dips were good. Chicken and veggie taquerias were tasty. Carne asada burrito was massive and covered with cheese. I had the burrito bowl that was solid too. Enjoyed the churros as well. Parking was rough but it worked out. Glad I tried it once.

    Chimichanga!

    This place was great! While Syracuse University excommunicated Adam Weitsman from athletics, I welcome him into the restaurant scene! The service was excellent and the ambiance is beautiful. Smack dab main street of Skan! Great location. Prices were excellent and the margs were delicious! I ordered the chimichanga, which is my favorite dish (period) and I was thrilled to see it on the menu. It did not disappoint. Maybe the best chimichanga I have ever had. Full of flavor. Crispy outside, soft cheesy inside. My wife ordered a quesadilla which was also excellent. Can't wait to go back!!!

    Verde Chicken dish - gluten free and amazing!

    Everything was amazing. In our party we had one person who was gluten free and one vegan. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and had great recommendations. The menu was clearly marked with plenty of options. The restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated as well. We enjoyed the feel of the place. Everything was perfect.

    Nachos!
    Brian G.

    All four of us really enjoyed this restaurant! We were seated in their very front of the building at the round table. Great seats! We started with an order of the nachos. Very impressive! Delicious and great service. We had a variety and shared amongst us. All were very pleased with the quality of the food and how quickly it came out. Would definitely recommend people to come here!

    This is a really nice place to stop n eat in Skaneateles. If you find a spot in the back, you can come up the back stairs and check in with the hosts on her visit. We stopped to get a gift certificate and decided of course have some appetizers and some drinks while we waited floors. Two margaritas an appetizer of queso, guacamole, cheese, and chips so good.! The food is very good The menu is extensive and the service is quick! in the past. Tastefully n so colorfully decorated. So if you're out this way, check it out, you won't be sorry if you love Mexican.!

    Bang bang shrimp tacos and street corn

    Birria tacos and nachos
    Sarah P.

    I truly love coming to this restaurant. It is in the beautiful Skaneateles, New York. I love the area and then when you go inside, there's also beautiful ambience when you walk in there's big bright windows which offers a great deal of good vibes. I always arrive and try to test different tacos to see which ones that I like. I also always get the plain nachos and they are mile high loaded with all different kinds of toppings. This business really knows how to bring out great flavor and quality. Every time I visit here, the waiter/waitress is always helpful and great!

    Wow! Our first visit to Stone Creek was absolutely amazing!…read more The food and service were outstanding! Began with the deviled eggs app. The truffles added the perfect touch to an old favorite that you never see. My wife had the lobster carbonara. Simply delicious! I tried the French dip. Tons of beef and the au jus was nicely flavored without being overly salty. Huge portion of coleslaw. Staff was plentiful and very attentive. So many other options on the menu we cannot wait to return. Highly recommend!

    Great food, gorgeous restaurant, and incredible service! Absolutely loved my visit to Stone Creek…read more Very unassuming until you walk in. On a whim (and seeing they were booked up that evening) called ahead to ask how the wait was, and were told they were pretty full but had a few bar tables open if we can be there in ten minutes or so. We hustled over there and they promptly sat us. But not only did they seat us, the hostess that spoke with us had popped a reserved tag onto a table after we called- very thoughtful and on top of things considering we didn't ask for that! Server was incredibly helpful with recommendations and extremely personable. Other patrons were also so friendly and it made the entire visit so much more pleasant. Cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu. Food was well made, with familiar favorites turned up a few notches, as well as some beautifully thought out dishes that you would never have expected.

    My comment is specifically about the dessert menu. Very…read moredisappointing offerings. The "German Chocolate Cake" was an almost total fraud. The cake was dark chocolate, probably made from a mix, rather than from the German's Sweet Chocolate which is not only traditional but required if it is to be called "German" and be taken seriously, and I do take my baked goods and pastries seriously. Calling it "German" in the first place bastardizes it and should have been the "red flag" that told me to eliminate it as a choice. German's sweet chocolate would have produced a cake with a totally different flavor, color and texture. The traditional coconut/pecan custard between the layers and on the top layer was hardly noticeable. The flavor was completely overwhelmed by the heavy gloppy substance that was probably meant to be chocolate frosting. I could have ordered one of the several offerings with apples but I can make those at home. There was nothing unique or enticing on the menu even though our server had informed us that there were new items. Cake on one's birthday is such a treat. This one was more like an ironic joke...should have simply ordered ice cream.

    Our server was attentive, and I think the prices are reasonable for the location. Food was good,…read morethough I think with a few changes it could go from good to great. For instance the children's menu pasta was just noodles and sauce--no parmesan, no little piece of bread. Five stars for ambiance, assuming you get seated near a window. I'd give 4.5 if I could but will keep it a 5 since they deserve better than 4.

    Wonderful bar for drinks. I've been here a couple times and have sat both inside (darker, moodier,…read moremore intimate) and outside (livelier, great when the weather is nice, more relaxed). Very unique cocktails! My first visit, I tried the ruby slipper, braulio sour, and the mango lassi. The mango lassi is incredible! It is my favorite drink at Argos! The ruby slipper and braulio sour were also quite tasty but I preferred the ruby slipper a tad more. My second visit, I tried the grapefruit soda (not artificial tasting at all), the Shark Juice (tasted a bit too much like cologne, wasn't a fan), and the Gigi (couldn't taste the hojicha, liked the concept more than the execution). I would get the Gigi again, but would pass on the Shark Juice. Sitting inside, I enjoyed the quieter and calmer atmosphere as well as the soft lighting. The interior decor is very cosy and slightly eclectic. I came with a friend on a weekday evening and it was pretty empty which was nice. The outdoor patio space is very nice- I like the lanterns on the walls and the whole space is quite charming. I left with a few mosquito bites though. Overall, I would recommend Argos Inn!

    As the weather warms up make your way to Bar Argos! They have a quaint outdoor patio with tables…read morelarge enough to accommodate larger parties. While sitting under their string lights enjoy a craft cocktail (or a couple) while catching up with old friends. Of the multiple cocktails we had there wasn't a single one we didn't like.
