    Super cute venue. To make a reservation, there's dining room, patio, and boardwalk. 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!

    We've been to this place numerous times over the last few years - under old and new ownership…read more Location is the best part - you can sit right by the water. 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.

    Okay. I do love my friends who perform drag and burlesque here, and I'm glad there is a place for…read morethem. But I have to be real. Not a fan of the racism I encounter time and time again. Last time, the white male bartender just kept ignoring me, the only PoC at his end of the bar. The white fratty-looking dudes who elbowed their way next to me, (also apparently here for the Beyoncé night with their gfs) were the ones who got his attention. The PoC bartender tho? They/she looked like they took him aside, talked to him, then took my order after what felt like FOREVER trying to get this man's attention, with him instead putting all the other white patrons before me. The PoC bartend took over & let me order, which made me feel like crying with relief. I looked at the white group right in their eyes...all who saw me and cut in, confidently knowing this bartender would choose them. There has to be a code of conduct, right? Nope...just smirks back. If I wanted to be real cynical, I would say it's a grift between staff that preys on the vulnerabilities of PoC in a predominantly white Upstate/CNY town to finally be seen with any modicum of respect after being treated as lesser...because I tipped generously for being treated like I deserved to be there. But I refuse to believe QPoC would do this to their own. And the PoC bartender seemed genuinely real, and for that, I really appreciate what they do, looking out for their fellow PoC in the space. But from where I stand, it looks exhausting to have this as a whole second job of looking after PoC and educating white coworkers on top of the actual job...I know the feeling. It's the Ithaca experience. I do have to appreciate the queer white femmes who DID treat me with kindness & grace, giving me space, letting me approach the bar to tip the PoC bartender who takes my order almost every time. The one whom I believe saw how awful I was being treated and swooped in to look out. They even told the bartender I was leaving extra tips for them. They are the allies we need in these spaces! I appreciate them. But yeah...the tall white AFAB femme drag performer who was a drag child of my white AMAB colleague...I did not appreciate how they treated me (an AFAB femme PoC) like a predator for buying him a drink. I felt less than human, and felt disgusting being treated to a buffet of the twisted type of racialized microagressions only white queer folks can deliver. It made me never want to return. And I didn't for a long time, even when I tore it up so much on the dance floor that Spirit Posse gave me swag. The PoC of this space make it humane. But that same night...I saw a white woman inappropriately grope a Black person performing on stage. They had to remind her about consent, which they likely made a regular thing because of how often it happens at Thursgays. I didn't see her at the last couple ones when I returned to go back to supporting friends who perform...but they really need to do better to make this space safer and less stressful to exist in as a PoC. It's not worth me being the "Duke" of this joint if I can't relax and enjoy the show, the drinks, or the dance floor. They may not be the Trump flag waving folks 30 mins away, but this is a Get Out flavor of distress I don't think makes it worth return visits.

    I appreciate that they are requiring proof of vaccination. I really, really appreciate it. That is…read morean excellent way to deal with running a bar in the midst of a pandemic. I do not appreciate a bouncer rushing over to tell me to put on a mask or sit down the moment I shifted from my chair to a standing position at a hightop table. I was polite, of course, and promptly shifted my butt down approximately five inches so that I was sitting. Apparently, it is very important for my butt to be five inches lower to prevent the spread of aerosols that carry an airborne disease. C'mon, people. Think for a minute. Letting people congregate introduces risks. Monitoring whether they are standing or sitting does not mitigate those risks at all.
