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.

Either sit at the counter or in one of the booths or even at a few tables outside. A waitress brought our menus promptly and was friendly and prompt throughout. They serve breakfast and lunch until 2 p.m. We opted for breakfast. I had the cinnamon French toast and sausage. My friend had the 2 meat breakfast plate with eggs, toast, home fries, and sausage. Both were decent, and surprisingly the coffee was excellent. If you are in the area check this place out. The ambience alone is worth the visit.

Heard good things about Seneca Farms and stopped by when driving through for the holiday weekend…read more The menu had a lot of great options and decided on the chicken with mac and cheese. The chicken was so good and the batter was light and crunchy. Afterwards had to try the ice cream as well and got one of my favorite flavors, black cherry which was perfect on a hot day!

The interior is cozy with a red Coca-Cola theme, but there's a larger area with outdoor seating in the back and drive-thru window. It was packed with folks! Service was prompt for trying their home-made ice cream. I ordered the cookies-n-cream which was good but not great. A key ingredient seemed to be missing as it was less sweet than expected. Also, it had a lumpy uneven texture that made it somewhat difficult to eat. Perhaps I had unreasonably high expectations from other places like Ben & Jerry's (in Vermont) or Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream (in Columbus, OH). That said, it's worth a visit to Seneca Farms if you're in Penn Yan. A lot of people seemed to enjoy the fried chicken.

I joked with my wife and daughter about the axiom.... "Never dine at a restaurant on a Monday…read morebecause nothing is fresh!" Sort of came true. Ordered a side Caesar salad (no Croutons as I'm Gluten Intolerant.) Romaine lettuce was lifeless, old and a lot with that browned edge look. Dressing was lifeless. Just shouldn't have been served. Ordered the Short Rib and it was not a good choice. Served over a potato purée with pickled peppers (which turned out to be Jalapeños and very spicy.) Short rib was very dry and the whole dish was crying for some kind of jus, or gravy or some kind of moisture. Daughter had the scallop special which she said was okay but when she was done she had a pile of bacon lardons she didn't care for. Wife had the salmon and it was the best of the three entrees Decor was beautiful. Nicely decorated and loved all the Penn Yan boat pictures as I grew up in that era when a Penn Yan lapstrake was the boat to have. View is delightful. It was rainy but imagine sitting on that deck out back would be wonderful in good weather. Not sure we'd return and if we did we would stick with the apps and drinks. Menu execution and quality of cooking need improvement. Kitchen and food need to up their game to match the beautiful decor and view.
