In other words, I appreciate authenticity. The Tavern on the Gorge boasted a friendly staff, good bar food and a welcoming atmosphere with a good assortment of beverage offerings. I happened to catch this place during a night whereby they had comedians from NYC. The comedians were very good and got plenty of laughs poking fun at the Afirondack lifestyles and values. The patrons appreciated this ribbing and a great night of unexpected fun was a much needed release for me and my wife. We will return on our next trip to the North Country to recapture this homespun experience.

Chalk it up to Upstate, NY doing what Upstate, NY does best: Cold Beer and Chicken Wings. And in…read morethis case, it should be Chicken Wings first and cold beer second. You can certainly pull up a bar stool and drop a Utica Club in a can or get a Saranac draft. No issue there. But what you really want to be doing is ordering wings. Seriously...get in car...drive to Prospect...order wings. Look, you can get caught up in wings from Buffalo, Rochester, New York City (not SF because there is not a good wing in this entire city...although at least Kezar makes an effort)...whatever. They all take a back seat to what you get in almost every establishment in Syracuse and Utica. Let's put it this way...it's HARD to be at the top or near the top (which Tavern on the Gorge is) in the wing category in Central NY. Just WAAAY too much competition and people in CNY like their wings. But Tavern on the Gorge...they get a high seat in the Top 5 category and my debate upon leaving the bar was whether or not they were number 1. Wing sauce is apparently a tough thing. I don't think it's a tough thing, but to most bars and restaurants it's essentially the toughest thing they must do. NOTHING varies more establishment to establishment than a chicken wing. Certainly there are some places trying to put their own spin on it (90% of these folks are just making a mistake btw). Not a good idea fyi. The wing sauce at TOTG is as close to perfect as your going to get. Depending on who you talk to, you'll get differing opinions on wing sauce. But in general, the diehards know the base recipe and an ingredient that can have a major impact is butter/margarine. So those wings sauces you see that have sort of a heavier texture (heavy being almost creamy)...they crank up the butter/margarine. Not a bad thing. The place in direct competition with TOTG does this and those wings are ridiculous as well. But TOTG does things a little differently and what you end up with is a sauce with slightly less creaminess and amazing tang. And they don't skimp on the heat...in fact, they dial it to perfection. Don;t worry about going in and having to order mild because you don't. If you don;t want to go hot...go medium...that's fine as well. But just know that Upstate does it's wings the right way...in a fryer, with ridiculously good sauce. TOTG has it nailed. Great place to grab a couple of UC's or a Saranac and eat wings. These are great wings. Period.

Their menu consists of delicious American flair options. I truly don't think you could go wrong with any appetizer or entree of your choosing. For our starter we ordered the fried meatballs, fried cheese curds and the tomato & burrito plate. Every single dish was wonderful! For our entrees we chose the chicken katsu and their scallops. The chicken katsu was flavorful, juicy, breaded perfectly and topped with the most delicious sauce I've ever had on a chicken sandwich. My dinner date stated the scallops were cooked to perfection! We ended our evening with dessert & cocktails and as you can imagine from this review they were also very delicious! I would also like to highlight our waitress Mia. She was very attentive, helpful and extremely kind. The entire staff were phenomenal! Manager included.

The menu is a mix of a chophouse with a large selection of chef selections from paella, pasta and schnitzel. The chef is a CIA graduate which is surprising to find in Central NY. The food was fresh and i noted that the chef makes his own bread, dressing, aioli's and desserts. It's clear the chef puts care into his work. We ordered - house salad - solid salad with house dressing. nice, nothing crazy - onion soup, this was excellent. really well done, from the croutons, cheese and flavor. wow - calamari - the only thing we didnt love - chicken schnitzle - excellent, authentic - scallops - fresh, perfectly cooked. a bit too sauced, but great - creamy garlic and spinach pasta - our kids didnt love, but decent The desserts were great as well. The restaurant was very accommodating to our casual attire and 3 young kids. Amazingly kind.

Summary: a lovely night out with good food and lovely ambiance and service, but my socks weren't blown off like other reviewers' were. The review: We were able to call the day before and get a reservation for 2 people at 7:30, and when we showed up, we loved the quaint, cozy renovated old home vibe. It's a modestly upscale restaurant in Cherry Valley, NY, another of the cute small towns in Upstate NY. We did get a couple of the daily specials, so I don't know how truly indicative of the vibes and regular food this review will be. Drinks: I really liked my Manhattan. However, my wife's cocktail, a daily special that we can't remember the name of, was almost cloyingly sweet and had an artificial caramel taste that overpowered the drink for her. We loved our spicy (they had to call it as such for liability purposes, the only spicy thing on the plate was the "medium" spicy salsa accompaniment) Beef Empanadas and Crab cake main. Entrees: to be honest, my seared duck breast special needed a little more grits, definitely a few more brussels, a smidge less sauce (it was balsamic-y an kind of over-powering) and a pass with pepper or something just give it a little bite. The duck was wonderfully tender and the grits were great. My wife also found her Ahi Tuna main nice and fresh but also a bit whelming. When we next find ourselves in Cooperstown, we might pop back up the Cherry Valley and come here. But, simultaneously who knows if our schedules will allow that.
