Cozy restaurant in Hammondsport. Very nicely decorated, felt rustic and comfortable. Our table of 6…read morehad a nice long table with booth and chairs, with plenty of space. Parking is sparse, street parking was convenient on a Sunday though. We stopped for lunch - they had a small menu compared to what was listed online. We settled on some burgers, and the shrimp sandwich. Everything was very good, well cooked burgers, with toppings and crispy fries. Sodas were refreshing and our waitress was friendly. Nice to have indoor or outdoor option. Would return for dinner, which looked like it had a larger menu!

Our recent visit was lackluster. My friend's salad special had large chunks of lettuce stalks and…read morevery large pieces of lettuce. They joked- can I request they chop it up? My French onion soup was not warm and the melted cheese was solidified. We tried to move forward except for our blonde server girl- obviously not wanting to be there and bordering on rude ( even though we were her only customers at the time). Example- my friend asked for a side plate to help cut up the large salad piece- delivered after 10 minutes wait...banged on the tabletop. I didn't dare mention my soup was cold! That killed any ambiance- only 3 tables filled but the wait staff wanted to set up outside rather than be bothered with us. Our first visit of the year... probably our last!

This is a restaurant connected to Lakeside resort and the residents dine here. We were not staying at the resort. When we arrived, we were seated promptly. We had an awesome view facing the Seneca lake and Hector falls. From our seats, we saw the rains come in. We had light jackets and were able to have an awesome dinner. For the dinner, we had scallops for appetitizer, seared salmon, fish tacos and chicken parmesan. For dessert, we had bread pudding and cheesecake. All delicious and cooked to perfection. They have a puppy called Rocky who visits each table! Well mannered puppy!

We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning around 11am. They have very limited hours and close at…read more12pm on Sundays! They were super busy with two waitresses working the whole place. We ordered within 5-10 min of sitting down, but then waited 45 min - 1 hour for our food. We both ordered omelets, which were massive and tasty once they arrived. Turns out the waitress forgot to put our food order into the system. She apologized, but otherwise, nothing else was done. I was shocked since most places own up to their mistake and make it right to the customer by offering a free side dish, comping the meal or taking a percentage off the bill to recognize their mistake. This was not the case. There's MANY other breakfast spots in the area so I would skip this and look elsewhere.

This spot has had more name changes than a witness in a crime novel--Chef's, Classic Chef's, and…read morenow Chef's Gatherings--but whatever they're calling it these days, it's still serving up the kind of breakfast that fuels adventurers. We stopped in before tackling Shequaga Falls, Seneca Lake, and Taughannock Falls, because nothing says "ready to hike" like a plate of bacon, eggs, and hash browns that could double as a weighted vest. The coffee was strong enough to wake up even the laziest hiker, and the service was just the right mix of friendly and efficient--classic diner style. The pies in the case were eyeing us the whole time, whispering, "you'll regret not ordering me." Sadly, we stayed disciplined... but next time, those pies are mine. Bottom line: Chef's Gatherings may change names like it's in witness protection, but it's still a reliable, hearty, small-town diner. Perfect for loading up before chasing waterfalls.

Depending on…read moreweather, temperature, and time of day some of the options may be uncomfortable, so choose based on when you go. I was in the dining room because it was a little chilly outside. Glad of it because when we were leaving we noticed there were mosquitoes outside. Cocktail: Toucan with bourbon, orange, pineapple, simply syrup, lemon. Delicious! Non-alcoholic: They also had a black tea and lemonade which I got to be less sweet, it's as expected. They have different flavors and I'm not sure which one they gave me. Went here specifically because Chef Cruz is there this summer. So I can only speak to his menu. My group had: The calamari salad with lemon vinaigrette, herbs, cucumber. This has a fresh, bright flavor. This is on a bed of greens. (Sometimes seafood salad is just the seafood) I would get this again. The chicken empanadas with spicy lime aioli had a nice flavor and crunch. Both the filling and dough were nice. I typically spring for a beef empanada, but after these chicken ones, I'll try getting chicken in the future. The burrata & cantaloupe with arugula, pistachios, balsamic, EVOO was very tasty. Given the size and proportion, it's more like a fruit and nut salad with a side of burrata. The house salad with orange honey vinaigrette, fennel, cucumber has a very nice flavor and is good on its own, but kind of redundant with the other salad-forward apps that we chose. The clam toast with bacon, white wine, parsley was very good. There's only two small pieces of toast, which were a little too charred to fully eat, but the clams and broth were very nice. You should ask for a spoon if you really like the broth. I just scooped the broth using the little clam shells. The chipotle chicken wings (special for the day) were very good. The chicken was tender and "fell off the bone." The wings were coated with a good amount of sauce with some heat to them. There was a green aioli dip to cut the heat. Dessert - got the chocolate panna cotta, which was more of a large chocolate pudding in a glass. Not like other panna cotta I've tried. Our server was great. I'm not sure of her name, but she was efficient and attentive. Definitely worth a visit if you are close by this summer!

But food unfortunately was rather disappointing. Burger was very basic and really not nicely presented, with just a slice of tomato and onion (I asked w/o onion, but everything else). Fries were great and the wine was good. Steak was disappointing, not a good cut, very chewy. For an elevated price point, food has to be better. Service was good, except for the mixup (onion/lettuce), everyone was very friendly and everything was served in a timely manner.

There is a lovely porch and front lawn where you can play corn hole while relaxing with wine. There is a small little shop in side and a long counter where you can do tastings at $1 a taste or buy a glass or a bottle. Our kids loved running around outside, kicking their ball and running around the property. There are also goats, though I never did see them. I mostly just enjoyed hanging out in front of the winery. The wine wasn't really to our tasting. The bottles are creative and artistic. But we aren't into very sweet wines and that is most of the wines they have here. If you like dryer wines, we'd recommend going with the Seyval Blanc. It was one that we thought was drinkable and nice on a hot day.

The waiters on the floor are very attentive to check in and fill beverages. While I enjoyed ice tea on this warm day there is a full list of wines and specialty cocktails available. After lunching the winery gift shop, tasting room & museum are all nearby. The restaurant at Bully Hill Vineyards is only open for lunch and offers a brunch menu on Sundays. It's well worth a visit
