    Jake's on the Water - Chef's cut: tonight, Cajun blackened prime rib served perfectly medium rare with mashed potatoes, blue cheese, and baby asparagus

    My family and I had dinner at Jake's on the Water during our recent trip to Potsdam. Unfortunately,…read morewe couldn't sit outside because of the rain, but our table inside still offered a great view of the water. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but there were enough guests to give it a nice atmosphere. It felt comfortable, relaxed, and not noisy at all. We started with the Kung Pao Cauliflower, which was excellent. Even my kids, who don't usually enjoy vegetables, ate every bite. For their meals, both kids ordered brick oven pizzas. My older child had the Labrador and finished the entire pizza by himself, while my younger child ordered the Authentic with pepperoni and really enjoyed it. My wife ordered the fish of the day, and I chose the scallop special. Overall, the food was very good, the service was pleasant, and the waterfront setting made for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

I was confused as to whether that's the norm, as almost every table was available, yet they expected that we had reservations. Sat outside and our waitress wasn't very quick, to our dismay. Drinks were terrible (Bloody Mary and matcha latte) but food was great. Took us much, much longer than we expected for a "quick" lunch, about two hours, but left happy and fed, overall.

    Jake's on the Water - The contrast of lighting doesn't show this well, but we had an "interior" table tucked well back but still had a great river/lake/flow view.

    We were four guests. Two of us had the fish & chips. Fish appeared to be re-deep fried because it…read morewas darker and burnt in a few spots and fish was dry. Fries were barely warm. Loaded broccoli cheese soup was watered-down and broccoli was pale green like it had been reheated multiple times. It lacked any flavor and it too was barely warm. Chicken fingers were dry as well. The only thing that was good were the sweet potato fries, the cole slaw, view of the river and the waitress. It wasn't busy only one other table being served so the cook would have had time to prepare our food. When I told my husband he said he could have told me the food wouldn't be good from his experience. I think maybe if we selected a cold cut sandwich that was made fresh that would have been the best pick but we wouldn't eat there again.

    Personally, I had the shrimp Alfredo. The wait was ling. Yet, The portion size and flavour made up…read morefor the wait. There was also a self serve popcorn machine that was for use for all customers. The prices are okay. It was very full, even though there was a large party, there was no wait to be seated. I would recommend The Alibi to anyone wanting to try some thing new in South Dundas.

    Was there in Potsdam for a meeting and stopped in on a Thursday evening. Even though it's a butcher…read moreshop and called Hoof and Horn, I actually went in for vegetarian options noted on Yelp. The space is minimalist and gives old fashioned turn of the 20th century vibes. There's obviously a lot of pride and a commitment to local foods here. We ordered the night's cocktail special the New York Sipper -yum- the Raquette salad, two of the small (not small at all) plates that were on special that night: the creamy barley risotto and the butternut squash and mushroom parpadella. As a main course, we shared the house-made mushroom burger, savory and flavorful. Everything was fantastic, with many earthy, fresh and delicious flavors and a variety of textures. We clearly ordered too much food, since the small plates were actually full portion-size. Skipped dessert, although the special was tiramisu. They're under a lot of pressure to compete in Potsdam, but they're doing something that shows classical training and a commitment to quality. Several Finger Lakes wines on the list. Prices are astonishingly low for such an excellent meal. Note: tip is included and there were no "lighter" meats like poultry or fish on the menu. Thus the great vegetarian options, I assume.

    We stopped at Hoof and Horn for lunch during our recent visit to Potsdam. Based on what I had…read moreheard, I was expecting a more refined dining experience, but the restaurant felt a bit worn and run-down when we arrived. That said, our server was very attentive and took our orders promptly. My two kids both ordered the special of the day, a short rib ramen, while my wife chose the chicken salad sandwich. I ordered their take on a French dip sandwich. The food was good overall, certainly enjoyable and well-prepared, but nothing really stood out as particularly memorable. While I appreciated the friendly service, the overall experience didn't leave a strong impression on me. It was a decent lunch, but I'm not sure I would make a point of returning on a future visit to the area.
