It has become an annual ritual to visit Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn. Every year, we look forward to…read morethe scenic drive along the wooded backroads of Angelica, NY. You know you're close when your phone goes into SOS mode and you fully commit to pancakes & maple syrup as a survival plan! I learned something new on this visit. We were initially shown to a table, but since only 3 of our 4 party members had arrived, we were asked to return to the lobby until everyone was present. The server assured us that once our fourth arrived, we'd be seated with the next available table, and that's exactly what happened. It gave us a few extra moments to watch pancakes methodically and continuously be poured, flipped and served from the griddle. We had the chance to sit in the original dining room, which features beautiful hand-painted murals. The booth cushions are well worn from years of use, adding to the charm and nostalgia of the space. The room itself felt bright, warm, and inviting. Service from Michelle was prompt and friendly, even with the steady pace of the restaurant. We ordered three AYCE pancake and sausage plates, coffees, a kids' pancake, and a maple milkshake. Pro tip: skip sugar and add maple syrup to your coffee. Trust me! Whether you're visiting with a few family members or bringing a large group, the Maple Tree Inn is a place full of memories, tradition, and perfectly maple-infused breakfasts. Remember to bring along cash or a check since digital payment is not an option. And mark your calendar for next season because they are only open for 2 months each year between February through April, while the sap is flowing. Looking forward to their 65th season next year in 2027!

We spent a few days visiting Seneca Lake. After hiking Watkins Glen, we wanted a place to grab a…read morequick bite to eat. We found the Elf in the Oak on Yelp and once we saw the menu, we knew we had to give it a try. The Elf in the Oak is nestled on Rt 414. If you're not actively using a GPS, you may pass it by. It's not a large place by any means, but there's more than enough seating indoors and out. We went on a Friday morning, so there wasn't a wait and we received our food quickly. We both wanted 'the Spicy' and I have to admit, it's one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had, which is high praise coming from someone who once worked at a popular bagel joint on Long Island. If we lived locally, we'd definitely go back, but I hope if you're looking for a quick casual brunch place to grab a bite, you consider visiting the Elf In The Oak.

Came here after backpacking, it was delicious…read more Food: the sandwiches were amazing and worth every penny. The turkey with apple and bacon was amazing. The schnitzel sandwich was also very good. The fries, at $8 as a side were not worth it, I would have rather ordered another sandwich than got two sides of fries. The chips were also almost flavorless, except that of 99% fresh oil. The kids grilled cheese was American cheese, and thus, imho, was not very good. One of my kids took a bite and didn't like it either. Ambiance: simple, nice view of the lake. Service: friendly staff. Tl;DR: I'll be back, but won't order sides or the grilled cheese.

I will never recommend this place, not even to my worst enemy. Arrived and was put on a list to get a table. After several other parties arrived and asked to be put on the list, they were seated well before us. I decided not to eat any food because if they can't follow a list to sit people correctly than they probably can't cook food properly either. Place is cramped but cozy. I won't be back. Pancakes looked like shit. Paper thin.... and syrup seemed very water as people used it.

It's a very long ride out to this restaurant, and usually a wait to be seated, but the pancakes are…read moreworth the trip. We all ordered pancakes; some also ordered a couple of fried eggs for a couple of bucks more. The first plate was three pancakes for each of us. The waitresses pay attention and when most of the people at the table are on their last pancake, a serving plate piled high with more pancakes is brought to the table. There does not seem to be a limit in the number of "refill" serving platters brought out. Today, for the nine of us, there were only 2 refill platters. Of course, the point of dining here vs. a pancake chain restaurant, is the maple syrup which comes from the trees on the land connected to this restaurant. Moore's is only open during the maple tree tapping season. This year it is only late February to April 12th. Maple syrup aficionados have to wait a year to return for this pancake breakfast.

There was also a solo musician singing and playing guitar on the lawn, which made for a perfect ambiance. I highly recommend stopping in if you're ever in the area.

I visit family in Bath often, but Bath has only a few options for diner-esque, family-friendly, sit-down restaurants. At Stephanie's, they are all of the above. The dining room is on the smaller side, but I have never waited super long for service or been disappointed in the quality of service here. They are so nice and attentive! They have a great menu with everything you would expect to get for a classic diner breakfast or brunch. I always get a cheese omelette, wheat toast, and a side of homefries. The prices are fair, not as cheap as say Denny's would be, but Stephanie's has the convenience of being close to home and one of the only places with a dining room. I highly recommend them and hope the menus pics are helpful!
