We stumbled in and learned they had just opened like a week prior - amazing timing for us! While it would have been cool to see the actual winery, this location was so convenient for us, and it was great to be able to cash in our coupons here. The space, as mentioned, was brand new and beautiful. I loved the exposed brick near and around the bar, and the quasi stained glass lighting was a unique touch. The wine bar is accompanied by a small shop where you can not only purchase wine but also buy locally made goods and a "make your own bouquet" area! A wonderful touch. We sat at the bar to enjoy a few tastings, and we were served by the owner (love when owners actually interact with customers and play the role of servers!). We enjoyed learning his story (originally from near Philly, so an automatic connection), hearing about this new location (they are planning to have a few hotel rooms above the wine bar), and sampling a variety of their wines. We also struck up conversations with some other guests at the bar, learning about their stories and getting their recommendations on places in the area. The wine was solid, too - a great variety to choose from, although the actually winery likely has more options to select. We particularly liked the cab sav / cab franc blend and the chardonnay (usually not a chard fan, but theirs was a great take on it with like 0% butter flavor). As most places in the FLX region, the wine was great but it was truly the hospitality and conversations that made this a memorable experience. We would love to visit the actual winery and try other varietals on our next visit, and we would also love to stay at the soon-to-be hotel rooms at this wine bar! Thanks for a great pre-boat drink and conversation, JR Dill!

There is good music playing and the bartenders are amazing. Very friendly, good humored, and very knowledgeable not only about the drinks/booze, but about the surrounding area.  The menu is a leather bound book containing pages of bourbons from hard to find to every day favorites. In addition to the bourbons they also have a nice selection of Tequila, vodka, scotch and wines.  They also have an amazing craft cocktail list. Every drink we've sampled from the list has been amazing and reflects positively on the talent of the bartenders.  These are truly craft cocktails that are perfectly balanced and flavorful.  If you are looking for a place to relax and have amazing drinks, 29 Neat is the best place around.

For cocktails, we got the Lakewood sparkling And a glass of red wine. The sparkling went great with the Mussels we got for our appetizer. Also enjoyed our entrées of Halibut and Chicken. The halibut was definitely better and more interesting. The chicken was fine just not as much flavor. Probably wouldn't order it again.

We discussed what I wanted and then she recommended local wines to pair with my meal. Everything here is farm-to-table and the quality of the ingredients are what stood out in this experience. I started off with an order of the house sourdough bread. Nothing fancy, but everything I wanted. For an appetizer, I ordered the PEI Muscles as recommended by my waitress. These were Prince Edward Island mussels, cilantro and garlic in a red curry cream sauce served with warm baguettes. This was incredible. The flavors, the sauce, the crispy bread, it all went so well together. For my main I ordered the Duck Margaret. Dry rubbed duck breast, rosemary polenta, asparagus, pickled celeriac, and a side of ancho chili sauce. This dish was on their specials menu for the day however I have seen it listed on their website previously. The duck was tender and juicy, the asparagus cooked to perfection, and the polenta took this dish over the top. For me, I was not loving the ancho chili sauce, so I was very thankful to have this on the side. Graft is currently rated a 9.9 on my Beli and this is all thanks to their excellent service and the fresh high quality ingredients they use to prepare their food.

This bar is located on the west side of Seneca lake and has amazing lakeside views and plenty of seating. The drinks are good and you can rent a just ski and tool around for a bit for some exorbitant price. They do have a pool table and an upper deck which is nice. Lots of tikis of course and a partial grass thatched roof. While I was there the electricity was out which I understand is a common occurrence. You can arrive by boat as there is a slip with a dock. Three bartenders basically stood around watching the ice melt while I was there. Perfect opportunity to show your skills and shine and keep customers around in my opinion until the power came back up but they all failed. Free drinks were certainly in order to keep people this loyal staying or coming back again. Don't be stingy when the timing is right invest up front and make boat loads of cash later. These are usually the times when great memories are made.

I started with the recommended French onion soup. It was really good. My wife had the special pork shank which she said was quite good. I had the crab cakes, which were also really good.
