Our meal opened with a few appetizers, the star being the chili caesar broccolini! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. For my entree I had the bolognese with pappardelle; filling & flavorful. My meal was paired with a hornet's nest cocktail, their take on a bee's knees made with hot honey and it was delicious! I wish it had been a tad larger of a glass but the taste was on point. Would gladly return to sample other menu items!

Not one little bit, except our favorite server back then seems to be in management now. The food is good, it is not in the Michelin guide but I don't want it to be. It is reliable and quality diner food. They have lunch and now fish fries on certain days but I've only had breakfast. lots of omlette choices pancakes (buttermilk or a Penn Yan special, buckwheat) and breakfast sandwiches. If you go you won't be disappointed. I think it may have been a bar in its previous life ... it's a little dark inside but you can get all the sun you need at the lake. Servers generally last years there and are top notch and friendly.

This old-fashioned, no nonsense diner has wonderful breakfast and lunch food. Server was quick, kind, and knew his stuff. The menu is just what you'd expect, with prices that don't slash you.

This is the biggest disconnect between yelp reviews and actual experience I've ever had. I have to…read moreassume they were having an off night or a backup chef or something. The mixed salad was just a generic greens salad you'd find at a buffet. The crab cakes had bits of hard shell bits I've never experienced in a crab cakes. The scallops are for some reason left in a sauce in a ramekin, meaning they kept cooking, meaning these were the most overcooked, rubbery, hard to choke down scallops I've had in my life. We didn't finish our meal. What a rough experience across the board. There's much better food in town for similar price points / fine dining ambiance, this is the one bad experience of our whole trip to the lake

As always, it is a great environment with dining room, patio or sunroom options. Wine or beer only, and wine prices are quite reasonable.

For an entree I had shrimp scampi, garlicky and lemony and fabulous with a plethora of Large shrimp. We had to order dessert to share since they had coconut custard pie. Out of this world.

The one lady who was cooking and serving was doing a great job, and we felt welcomed in and attended to right away. We had some trouble deciding what to have, as a lot of things on the menu sounded good, but it was unfortunately not to be. I ordered the breakfast garbage plate, which had hash browns, sausage gravy and two eggs (cooked medium). I added the house made hot sausage for $5.65 and got 1 approximately 4 oz sausage. The hash browns were fine, nothing special, and the sausage gravy was woefully lacking in flavor except for salt. The eggs were a little overcooked, but that's my fault...or the fault of breakfast cooks all over the country who don't do over easy eggs properly. I order over medium cuz I hate when the white isn't cooked. These were definitely cooked. The sausage was not good. It was sweet on the palate...like way sweet. It didn't taste much of sausage flavor, and there was a hit of heat on the finish. My sister had the sausage gravy & biscuit and she said the same thing about the gravy. I wish it was a better result-I'd love to give business to a local place that had good food.

Third time was the charm as we drove to Parker's and got a table in 5 minutes. They even have a gelato stand near the host station! Our server was quite busy, but we got our drink orders put in quickly and when they arrived we ordered our meals. For me the standout was the BBQ pork quesadilla. Probably the best I've ever had and that's saying a lot since I have tried dozens of Mexican places. The poutine was also a hit and absolutely massive, easily enough for 3-4 to share. We ended up taking most of it home. The lobster mac & cheese was also very good and again, there was plenty leftover. We will easily come here again the next time we are in the area.
