We landed on BlackBerry Inn Kitchen. It is a such a cute place. The service was super nice. You order what you want from the counter, and they will bring it to you. We chose to sit outside, the day was so beautiful. There are just a few tables. But they did a great job with the little space they have. The inside though is decorated really well, and has a cozy vibe. They sell a lot in that little space. Cold grab and go items, cool grab and go groceries, like Pierogis and such. I bought a bottle of their CBD Ice Tea. Delicious, refreshing. I also, ordered a pork sandwich on a roll, with Horseradish and tomatoes. You can order any fixings they offer, these were just my preferences. I forget what my guest had, but I took a picture. I liked the size of the sandwiches. Perfect light plate, for spending the day walking. I definitely recommend and will be back. They look perfect for a breakfast or lunch sandwich. We were there at 2Pm. I didn't make note of their hours. But I'm guessing they are more of a breakfast and lunch place. My conclusion was based on our difficulty choosing a sandwich because they were out of most of their baked breads. Which I would expect from a bakery/sandwich shop that closed at 3pm

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.

Didn't mind too much because we didn't have to be anywhere though so enjoyed savoring our drinks and people watching since we were on the sidewalk. Perfect fall night for just that. 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.

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!

I've been meaning to write this review for a while because Babes & Buds absolutely deserves it!…read more My son and I drive all the way from Ithaca because this is our coffee shop. In fact, my son requests we come here--and honestly, I do too. The staff is always incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. Every visit feels like you're supporting people who truly care about their customers. The drinks are amazing, and I love how customizable everything is. There are so many flavor combinations to choose from, and I especially appreciate options like cold foam and whipped cream that let you make your drink exactly how you like it. My personal favorite is the Dubai Chocolate Latte, and in the winter I'm obsessed with the Banana Bread Chai. They're both absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a local coffee shop with creative drink options, wonderful people, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, I can't recommend Babes & Buds enough. It's truly a hidden gem, and we're always happy to make the drive. Supporting local businesses like this is so worth it!

First and foremost, staff are nice and welcoming. The place had a decent amount of customers but there were still some seating available indoors and plenty available outside. We got a Caramel Macchiato and a California Club. The coffee was great! The club was alright- the bread was too big and not like super tasty but the filling was good. Cutesy vibe and interior. Only thing was I had trouble opening the door to get out and had to put my food down and try a few more times before it opened- no harm, no foul- but was embarrassed lol.

Service was prompt and friendly.The menu has a variety of traditional Italian dishes.  We started with the FLX salad that was large enough for the two of us to share. The lettuce and toppings were crisp and fresh. The garlic cheese bread that came with the meal was cheezy and warm. We ordered spaghetti and meatballs, which was good. We also tried a small pizza with meatballs. Even though it was a "small",  it was large enough to satisfy two people. It was a decent pizza, flavorful and hit the spot. Jerlandos is definitely a good dining option with an affordable price point for families.

I ponder the menu, it's a decent sized menu, with a good amount of items I decided to go for my old standby, the poutine. I put in my order, and he brings it back quick. It was a decent portion. The fries were well seasoned, crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. They were very good. The gravy. Was just the right texture. Not too thin, and not too thick. It was a good quality gravy. It had a deep rich flavor. The one problem, is that there was a very small amount of the cheese curds. They were basically not even the full cheese curds, just little chunks here and there. What cheese curd I got was good, there just was hardly any of it. Let's face it. Poutine without cheese curds is just "gravy fries." Even though there was hardly any of the cheese, curds, overall, it was still a good meal. I left stuffed. Poutine and a soda, the price was reasonable. I would like to try some of the other items on the menu. Thanks.

Located well off the busy streets of Watkins Glen this little place is a quirky and comfy and a fun spot for drinks with friends or a full meal. Inside there is a full bar and some seating. The restaurant opens on the far wall to waterside where there are many more tables and chair groupings. The menu is simple but sandwiches, salads, soups predominate. I ordered one of their specialty sandwiches- a Reuben which is brined and cooked in house and served on fresh rye bread toast. Simply one of the best Reuben sandwiches I have had in years! The Oar House is only open on a limited schedule- Friday- Sunday and only thru the fall each year. My best advice- trust your GPS and find a perfect day to be near the water to visit the Oar House at Frog Hollow Marina!
