    The Krebs is amazing and the atmosphere is adorable, chic and mildly upscale. Our sever John was great and the staff worked really well together running food and pre-bussing the table for us. The food was superb! We tried several different restaurants while visiting Skaneateles and this was my favorite place by far. The curry & pumpkin soup was delicious. Both flavors were combined perfectly and tasted decadent. It may have been my top meal of the weekend. The ribeye, filet, and scallop entrees were all amazing and have great flavor and were cooked perfectly. If you're in the area and want a romantic date night or sweet dinner with friends this is the place for you.

    Great place for dinner

    Found this spot off of Tiktok. Great location especially if you are at the Sherwood Inn as we were. Decor is elegant. Beautiful bar area. Food and service were on point. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

    This was our second visit. The first time was 5 stars but this time it was much busier. Although the food presentation was excellent, the food was not prepared as well. We were seated at a center table which killed the normally intimate environment.

    Roasted Maitake with fennel, great northern beans, and a cashew cream sauce.

    My bestie and I had dinner at this very fine establishment on a Wednesday evening. It is very easy to find on Genesee Street and the outside of the restaurant is a beautiful nod to all of the other beautiful homes lining this street. We were greeted and seated right away by the hostess. The decor is a wonderful mix of past meets present with an eclectic mix of dining room and lounge furniture. There are actually 4 dining areas! Two have fireplaces and they add warmth to the restaurant. Our server, John, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the specials and the menu items. I had the soup special, the curried pumpkin with kick of spice, shaved coconuts lightly sprinkled into the soup and walnuts (?). I wanted another bowl because it was that good! For my main course I had the Roast Maitake set upon a mixture of great northern beans, leeks, fennel and a cashew cream sauce. I've never had a Maitake mushroom but this was seasoned beautifully and roasted making it so tender. The addition of the vegetable mixture was genius. My bestie had the Lobster Risotto which contained large pieces of lobster on top of the risotto with brown butter, butternut squash, delicate and lobster oil. She loved it! It was her birthday so they gave her a small scoop of housemade Vanilla Bean ice cream and wrote "happy birthday" in chocolate the ice cream plate. The Krebs does offer a Sunday Brunch.This was a wonderful dining experience and everyone made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We loved our dinner and would definitely go to dinner there again!!

    Braised short rib
    Alicia C.

    I went for dinner with two friends and the staff was very hospitable. They ensured we were comfortable, explained ingredients, swapped out a drink when my friend didn't love it, and were super friendly. I dine out a lot in CNY and it was clear this staff was putting in effort to provide an above-average service. Much of the staff seemed pretty green (unfamiliar with menu, dish prep, cocktails) but our waitress would immediately seek information and come back to us with answers. The food was good! We ordered a cauliflower app special which was so delicious that we ordered a second on. The gin fizzes I ordered were perfectly made. The salad was delicious but very small for the price. My friends and I enjoyed our meals, though I expected my braised short rib to fall apart. Instead it required a steak knife. A large portion of it was fat as well which was a bit disappointing, especially for the price. Great flavor though. We were in a room near the bar, with a fireplace. Unfortunately the fire place was very hot and we had it turned off eventually but it was a pretty background while it lasted. The overall vibe was very country clubby. Though there is definitely room for growth, I still give it 5 stars as it was among my top 3 overall dining experiences in CNY in 2023.

    Poached pear dessert.
    Pam Y.

    Staff were friendly, food was good. The interior is dark, and curtains were nearly closed. Walls are a dark color, as is the ceiling and the floor. A bit oppressive rather than cozy and warm. The bread choices were delicious- cheddar chive corn muffins and onion focaccia bread. I started off with a cocktail called The Belmont. It's a bourbon drink. It was my favorite part of the meal! For my entree, I ordered the blackened salmon. The veggie purée and the zucchini ribbons were delicious. The salmon was a good size portion and the flavor was wonderful but it was dry. I had to cut it with a knife, rather than simply use my fork. For dessert, I ordered the poached pear. Atypical for me, but they were out of cheesecake, which always calls my name. The pear and accompanying sides were all delicious. Overall a good meal, not spectacular. Staff were great, attentive and friendly, not obtrusive.

    So this wasn't necessarily a planned stop however it worked out very well. We were in Skaneateles for the day to attend the "Dickens Christmas thing" as I like to call it. I looked into maybe going to this restaurant a few days earlier however not knowing if we would meet the dress code or not we weren't sure, plus we didn't make reservations in advance. It worked out well though because it wasn't as formal as I thought it might be and I was able to make reservations for 5:30 at 4:45 that day. The atmosphere was incredible in this place. It looked very upscale and the entire wait staff and hostesses were very friendly. The food itself was very good, Some things like the lobster bisque for example, although tasty, were not as expected in comparison to lobster bisque we have had at other places. I don't mean this as a bad thing as a kind of gives this particular restaurant its own identity.

    Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more *Place was busy on a Saturday evening. Price - ~$60-$80 (appetizer, entree, drink, tip) Food - 4/5 - tasty and massive portions. Service - 4/5 - great recs, friendly. Ambiance - 3/5 - nicer downstairs. Overall - 4/5 - the spot to go to for Mexican in Skaneateles. Have had better Mexican before but the food us tasty as hell and the portions will leave you stuffed. My girlfriend couldn't even order an entree after appetizers lol. A ton of tequila options. Definitely order the Birria Pizza, but beware of its size. Service was great, Devin was very sweet and gave great recommendations. We did not feel rushed at all. Inside is fine, nothing really crazy. Great place and one of the Skaneateles staples. Best Dish - Birria Pizza, Lalo Tequila Would Return - Absolutely

    I am very impressed with this restaurant. My family was visiting from out of town, I brought them…read morehere. It was my first time as well. We were immediately seated for a late lunch on a Saturday. There was a large staircase to the second level so be aware of accessibility. Our service was off to a slow start but everything was too delicious. We shared the triple dipper (salsa, guac and queso) amongst 5 people, it was plenty to share and they offered to bring more chips. We all got tacos (steak, chicken and carnitas) the other 2 guests ordered chimichangas. Everyone thought their food was delicious. The chimichangas were humongous and could probably feed you for a week The restaurant itself was very clean. It had tons of natural lighting and very trendy decor. It photographs well and has a unique look for a Mexican restaurant
