    FFFF. Friday fish fry
    Tim K.

    Before we start about the food, I must say the view is wonderful. Hard to beat sitting out on a deck on a warm summer's night, overlooking a lake. This was my first trip here. It was a good night to enjoy a nice evening outside with good friends and a good meal. Three of the four of us ordered the Friday fish fry. The fish was cod. The portion was good but the fish was salty. The other person ordered the Yak burger and said it was good. We had two appetizers, the Asian and the spinach/artichoke dip. The both were ok. A pet peeve is getting hit with a $6 credit card fee at the end of the meal. No heads up, no warning just a dropped off check with this surprise surcharge on it. This is the first time I've been hit with such a fee on my food. I'm sure there are other restaurants that do the same thing. If the Loft has an issue with credit card fees then either don't except credit cards, charge more for your food, or at minimum give your customers a heads up.

    Went to the loft for dinner on a Wednesday night. I ordered a glass of wine and a yak burger. The burger was delicious! The service was a tad slow but they were super busy and I didn't mind sitting there looking at the beautiful view. I'll definitely be back!

    Mostly gone Spinach and Artichoke dip. But OMG! The fresh ingredients!!

    We have come here quite a few times over the last 5 years, living just 10 minutes away. I've always given it great reviews for staff and the view. The food has always been " top Sysco" truck stuff - kind of like an Applebee's or something. I don't even know how to put my finger on it. Maybe it's the smaller menu due to 'Rona. Maybe they have a new chef - but WOW!! They've really stepped up their game! The Spinach and Artichoke Dip app was handmade. It wasn't some overly creamed out of a can dip. The ingredients were big and tasty! In fact, I only really have pictures of the after because we ate it so fast! The wife had her usual Steak Salad and the steak was done better than ever. I nervously ordered the Reuben - knowing full well in upstate NY it often is devoid of anything but a tiny bit of Sauerkraut. Everything on this Sammie was perfect NYC grade. The corned beef had a smoky hint to it. The cheese and thousand island dressing were perfectly portioned. The Mac salad side had this amazing mustard taste to it. Drinks were great. Staff picked up on us quick even though we were sitting on a packed deck next to a fairly demanding large party. Always nice and always trying to please. Did I mention the view? We love it so much we literally just bought a house that shares a border with this golf course with the same view! If you are in the area, is it Beak and Skiff, have a tasting, but for sure eat and enjoy the sunset at the Loft! This is a must visit.

    Scallops. Oh...and a comforting red wine.

    Great dinner. Outstanding rainbow trout and delicious scallops. Totally surprised me. Perfectly cooked and scallops so tender. Excellent service and reasonable prices.

    Delightful restaurant

    Beautiful views high above Otisco Lake. I recommend the Yak burger, they're large, juicy and somehow pretty healthy I guess

Not a problem because it was warm on the patio and we still had a great view of the mountain and sunset. I had the cocktail special of the day, a rum and pineapple and orange combo that made me recall being on a cruise. Wife had the melon and prosciutto salad which was presented beautifully and she liked it. I went for the special of the night, a grilled chicken sandwich with Mexican street corn on it with a side of fries. Super tender chicken and great flavor. Fries were nicely crispy and seasoned. All for less than $50. Will be back again for sure.

My friend and I came in to share dinner after our ski day and the food was fast, hot, yummy, and waitress was kind and attentive. They had live music on Jan 2nd, I thought there would be singing but it was just the music which was nice to have on in the background. We shared an appetizer of mac and cheese and a flatbread and it was the perfect amount of food to fill us up. We really liked the mac and cheese but the flatbread was nothing impressive, pretty flavorless. We also each had a hot chocolate which is exactly what I was craving all during our cold ski day.

    I was very disappointed with my meal at The View today. I ordered the open-faced steak sandwich…read moremedium-rare, but the steak came out well-done, tough, chewy, and lacking flavor. The mushrooms were barely cooked, and the sandwich was dry. I even requested au jus in an attempt to salvage it, but unfortunately that didn't help. To make matters worse, my side salad was initially forgotten. To the server's credit, she removed the sandwich from my bill and offered to bring me something else. However, by that point I had lost confidence in the meal and declined. I ultimately ended up eating only the side salad. While the service recovery was appreciated, the food itself was a major disappointment. In the end, the only thing I ate was the side salad, which cost $8 on its own. While I appreciate the server's efforts to make things right, the food quality and execution were far below expectations. I left hungry, disappointed, and unlikely to return.

We ordered him chicken tenders instead. Waited another 20 minutes for all the food, they forgot the tenders, then the ONLY thing that came warm to the table was the tenders because they JUST cooked them. We tried to raise these issues with the manager who simply said there's no way we could have predicted the crowd when there really wasn't that much of one.... You're LITERALLY advertising Mother's Day specials! Oh yea and ITS MOTHERS DAY. All I can say is do better ! We will not return anytime soon but I hope the rest of your patrons have higher expectations.... Or maybe just stick to serving hot dogs hamburgers and golf....for the record asking your customers how to fix the problem is a cop out. Offer reasonable resolutions that you can actually deliver on and maybe, just maybe act like you give a crap that people who work hard for their money have decided to give your establishment a shot. At the VERY least offer to heat up the cold food. The mother of my kids is now having to microwave her own dinner on Mother's Day... thanks for that ...

Nice tall fence to hide view of neighboring houses. Table and chairs were not very comfortable. A little more attention to landscaping and maybe some market lights would really improve the ambiance. Fun specialty drink menu. We had the blue jay and the pecking order. They were both good and well balanced. Ordered the filet tips with mushrooms and spinach as well as the chicken, sausage and cherry peppers. Broth in the chicken dish was too good to leave in the bowl so had to order a side of focaccia to soak it up. It would have been nice to include the bread with the dish. Not a huge portion, but enough and nothing left on the plate. Bowls looked big but not very deep so not as much as it seems in photos. Filet tips were also quite good with mushrooms and spinach Alfredo. Some of that went home in a box. Ended up spending $100 for 2 drinks and 2 dinners - no appetizers, salads or desserts. Staff was friendly and attentive. We will go back.

    Bottom Line Up Front: Worth the money - YES…read moreFriends and Family Recommendation - YES Yelp Bookmark-able -YES One of my biggest pet peeves regarding dining out is spending good money on average to sub par or poor food. Rest assured, that is not the case when it comes to Stone Creek. From the moment we walked through the front door the staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The decor/ ambiance was a pleasant mix between relaxed/casual to upscale. Nothing fancy or pretentious, but welcoming and inviting. Although I'm a local I've not eaten here until tonight...a point I regret. I'm a steak snob that often finds numerous faults in a steak I get in a restaurant knowing I could do better at home. This was not the case tonight. My ribeye was cooked to perfection, was full of flavor, tender and juicy. That alone would bring me back for more, but the mushroom cream I had as a side was spectacular and took my experience to an all never level of enjoyment. My wife had the seared ahi tuna with a duck confetti fried rice. I sampled it...another success story there. I've read plenty of reviews about the price...but I'm here to tell you that the $ is in perfect alignment with the quality, flavor and portions received. I have ZERO negative comments and for the sake of brevity I can only say this.....I WILL BE BACK!!!

We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.
