Had a great time here. Stopped in while boating / tied up to a slip out front. Big group of 6 and we were seated right away outside. Had grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and sweet potato fries.... Was very good ! Everyone enjoyed their food. Would def do this again read more

The Switzerland Inn was a great stop during our Finger Lakes trip. The waterfront views were beautiful, and despite the heat, the umbrella at our table kept things comfortable. I was also surprised by how few bugs were around considering the location. The food was a little pricey, but the quality and flavor helped justify it. The burger was well prepared, the toppings were fresh, and the fries were hot and crispy. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the wait at the end. After receiving the check and having our card ready, it took a bit longer than expected for someone to return and process payment. Not a huge issue, but noticeable with our pup getting restless. Overall, good food, great views, and a place I'd visit again. read more

Food was average. Nothing exceptional. Old fashion was over priced $22. Never again read more

A great local place with beautiful waterfront seating. The servers are always friendly and we've met many locals- and visitors- who are very regular patrons. The menu features classic pub foods- wings, pizza, burgers & several seafood entrees. While I'm not a seafood eater- my friends that are caution they are not good. I've found other items here are not a consistent quality. I love coming here for the beautiful lake view seating but have only a handful of menu items that I will order on a regular basis. read more

The food was pretty good! I would have personally loved a little more sauce but the fish was flakey and tasted good. The service was relatively okay, sometimes took awhile for our waitress to come back and check on us read more

We came in for dinner with my family, the food was not good and super overpriced. I ordered the fish Florentine and it was dry/overcooked and needed more sauce. The fries were disgusting and ice cold and soggy. That meal was $30 down the drain. We also ordered a burger and it was almost raw on the inside. Our waitress was not attentive at all and someone else actually overheard our conversation and got it fixed and our waitress never even came back over. They didn't come and refill water and we had a large party, I expected them to be more attentive for a bigger tip. I wouldn't come back read more

The best spot for that romantic dinner if you're visiting Hammondsport NY. We were pleasantly surprised because from the outside it doesn't match the beautiful interior. There's many different inside & outside sections you can choose to sit at and the staff is very helpful. The delicious food came out quick and everything was so great. My lobster bisque was wonderfully creamy and used the bread from the salad to soak it all up. The entree I chose, Jammin Burger, was exactly how I like it cooked and the jam was a perfect blend of sweet & spice. My fiancé's pink vodka dish might be the best Italian dish we've ever had. We finished the meal with a few pictures from the back deck and gazed the sunset. - Perfect Birthday Date Night read more

Very busy place, this is a bar first, food second. The food itself was passable, yet not what I would call any thing except quickly made, mostly fried, get people in and out as fast as possible type food. Broiled Haddock had an odd taste. Beautiful view though. read more

Visited June 2026. Ordinary food, rather overpriced. Service was acceptable. Nice view over the lake, but dining room itself was, like the food, ordinary. Nothing terribly wrong, but not tempted to return. read more

The Switzerland Inn is a wonderful local waterfront restaurant. We've eaten here on our last two visits to Hammonsport. It has both indoor and outdoor seating with beautiful views. They had live music both times we were there. The food and service is excellent. There is a large onsite parking lot. I would definitely recommend calling for reservations. They were quite busy even though we were there midweek. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area read more

The location is only what you pay for apparently. Three mediocre entrees with food that seemed like it came from a bag, three drinks and an appetizer of nachos with store bought Tostito's plus tip came out to $250. Seriously? read more

We really enjoyed the food and sitting outside right on the water. friendly staff added into the mix and we will be returning for sure.

Delicious food! Tasty and searing really well. Lobster bisque never go wrong. Salmon pasta and fish tacos. read more

Loved it! Service was excellent and the vibe upbeat. Fish sandwich for lunch was great, as was the view of the lake.

Great service! Awesome fish tacos! The outdoor patio was very accommodating for my dog, as well¡ Thank you¡

Always a fun time. Great food, drinks, and service. Beautiful Keuka Lake views. We will be back soon.

We went here yesterday and overall we were very disappointed for these reasons. Our bill was $100 for two burgers, 2 drinks, and an appetizer. Now if they were all good items I might have been ok BUT my wife's margarita was literally smaller than a teacup with a huge ice cube in it that filled the glass. My beer, a Modelo, was in a miniature bottle, and each of our burgers were nothing special with buns that were dry and fell apart as you tried to hold them to eat the burgers. Oh yes and we got the steamed clams as an appetizer and they were so small that it was good that they came with a mini-fork and did not come with bread. Several of the shells had no clams in them. So needless to say we do not recommend this place and will not be back. read more

Made reservations - 2 bands playing today. Strong recommendation to do so if coming on a weekend. We had not been here in 2-3 years as the food had not been great prior. This time, however, food was great - prices are normal for the area, maybe slightly inflated for being on the lake but not noticeably so. Service was fairly transactional. Steak salad was good at $19. Nice busy place on the lake - reservation recommended esp if you want to sit outside in the summer... read more

Very confusing as all the signage says "The Switz"...but anyway! This place is great! The bartender made me a three dots and a dash that was incredible. My partner got a Bloody Mary that was pretty much a meal in a pint glass, and she loved it! On top of the great drinks, the view of the lake was spectacular! Highly recommend read more

Nicole did a wonderful job welcoming us to dinner and providing amazing service throughout our meal. We were seated on the outdoor patio and had an amazing view of the sunset as we dined. Our drinks were refreshing, the food was served piping hot. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie we took home for dessert was one of the best ones we tried around Keuka Lake. I enjoyed the chunks of Reese's peanut butter cups throughout the mousse filling! This place came highly recommended from several local business as the spot to grab local fare and we were not disappointed. We hope to return for live music soon! read more

Do y'all see the view in my photos? This place is right on the water so you can see the beautiful lake in all its sunset glory. We asked to be seated outside and besides the mosquitos and heat, the view did not disappoint. I asked my server what was their sweetest red wine and she recommended the Hazlitt Red and I legit wanted to get a bottle. It was brought to me chilled and tasted so delightful. I'm such a sucker for sweet wine. My boyfriend got a spiked lemonade and clearly liked it enough to get 2. We got the spinach dip which was really delicious and I got a pasta while he got fish and fries. Both were reasonably priced and the ambiance of the seating outside just made the dinner all the better. I highly recommend to eat it if you're ever in the area. It's only 15-20 minutes from Beaver Dams and Watkins Glen so we're glad we made the drive. read more

We had lunch there with outside seating and a beautiful lake view. The server was good and food came out a short time after our order. The Mediterranean salad with a huge amount of chicken and Greek dressing looked great when it came out and was enough for two meals. The chicken wrap also looked good when brought out. The problem was that the chicken in both meals lacked seasoning and so was bland. The Greek dressing was not the usual Olive oil, lemon juice and fresh herbs but creamier like a ranch. I'm not sure if it was the creamier dressing, artichokes, or something else but I had a slight stomach ache (acid reflux) after eating less than half the meal. I would go back if staying in the area for drinks and the view. read more

Our waitress was a great conversation. Food was delicious & well priced. The ambiance is amazing, Such beautiful lake view outside dining. First time going, Definitely will be back. read more

This is the best place to eat for a view of Keuka Lake at dinner. The service was great, food was very good, and a beautiful sunset view.

Great views of Keuka Lake. Fair food but you are here for the lake so that's fine. Service was excellent. We were seated outside when a storm rolled in off the lake. They promptly moved us indoors without us having to ask. I would certainly stop in again if I'm in the area. read more

Very friendly service, good cocktails and FLX wine. obviously great views but .... DO NOT order the pizza. Boboli crust is better than the frozen nonsense they threw toppings and sub par sauce and cheese on. read more

This place right off Keuka Lake has been around since 1894. They offer dining inside or out. Our party of three had an inside table. The staff is friendly and attentive and it was busy with tourists like us as well as locals. Our dinners came with a nice sized salad. Our main courses were quite substantial and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We ordered the Finger Lakes Penne (chicken, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli and shrimp), Lake Sautéed Shrimp and Scallops Scampi and a Honey Glazed Salmon. We couldn't find anything to complain about the food and we left fully satisfied. Definitely a place to go to if you're in the area. read more

Great place to enjoy a meal outside, overlooking the beautiful lake. We came on a Friday night for dinner and it was very enjoyable. Weather was perfect, service was great, and I had the broiled haddock special with a side of homemade macaroni and cheese. Everything was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the salad they served before our meals. read more

I had an incredible time! One of the best burgers i ever had in my life. Our server was a sweetheart! She listened very carefully to my oder and preferences and went above and beyond! And the view is spectacular. I love that you can boat there if you wanted to, they have a very large doc for guests. And the life music was an unexpected treat! I see what the big deal was about! They also have a lot of gf options. I can't wait to come back and try more food! read more

Hate to be a dick but here's the deal. Really nice staff. Terrible food. Staff- 3 stars. 4 for effort, 2 for experience. Food- 1.5 stars. Literally every thing was terrible. Daughters had quesadilla, and Mac and cheese. Wife had a wrap. I had a chicken Caesar salad. The chicken seemed like it came out of a can. Couldn't eat it. So much potential in this place. Unfortunately it's just one of those places that cuts corners on food because they're one of the very few shows in town. read more

The three stars are mostly for the fun vibe, the wonderful server and the great view of Lake Keuka. Our server Kaylie was excellent, cheerful and helpful. The daily special salad with salmon did have delicious sweet fresh strawberries and red grapes, good feta crumbles and lots of field greens. The salmon was tasty but a little too well done; it was moist enough to be enjoyable. I disliked the concord grape salad dressing; tasted like mayo. There were several things that detracted from my enjoyment of the meal. The knife I was given had sticky food residue, so I made do without a knife; the salad didn't really need one. The ladies' room was smelly, dusty, dirty and full of flies; whoever cleans the bathroom is skipping a lot of spots. The ladies room I used, which is right in the middle of the restaurant where people are dining, had a sign not to lock the door since it gets stuck; this is unacceptable; I locked the door and hoped for the best. The new bartender, who our server said is "in training," screwed up my husband's drink order. At first, I was happy because we were seated directly by a window overlooking the lake. This was a curse, since it was a hot sunny day and the sun coming in the windows was uncomfortably warm. Apparently Switz doesn't believe in air conditioning? This restaurant tends to be very busy, especially with patrons who arrive by boat and dock directly in front of the restaurant. The owners of Switz don't seem to have to try very hard to get business. read more

Great stop for lunch. It's a fun place to watch the boats come in and out. The food is good and portions are large. Our waitress was sweet and patient while we made our decisions. read more

We pulled in just in time to see the sunset and hear some amazing live music from some local guys. The food was pretty good for a lakeside vibe! Outdoor patio and views were unbeatable and the fish and chips were outstanding. Good selection of local beers and wines from the glass. Definitely stop by if you are in the finger lakes area! read more

The view is worth the money. The service is great. The food is okay but again the view is super duper. The experience was lovely. Drop in.

Quality does nor reconcile with cost. While tasty, the entrees are overpriced for the quality presented. We ordered the scallops appetizer for $20. 4 quarter sized scallops. You got to be kidding. Shrimp and scallop scapi came with a bowl full of spaghetti, but there were only 3 scallops and 5 small shrimp for $35. Salad was small. The $38 NY Strip was average as compared to the $25 texas roadhouse steak of the same size and better quality. No bread. A half filled 8oz wine glass cost $15 for a house brand. Definitely a tourist trap. Not many restaurant choices in that area . Avoid but this is a resort/tourist area so choices are limited. read more

9/3/23 Party of 5 +1 year old. 2 of 5 ordered the Chicken bacon swiss w/o tomato. (1) was 18.99. (1) was $14.99. Then as to not have a dry sandwich asked for mayo with them and one to sub onion for the tomato. Was charged for the mayo $1.04 eachx2 and $1.04 for the onion on one. All-in-all overcharged $7 plus 20% tip. We're local and not on vacation meaning we frequent local establishments. Went for the waterfront experience and should have stayed in town.... and I still left a $20 tip. read more

Some of the food was great - The nachos. Some of the food - no so much - their homemade mac n cheese was lacking flavor - needed salt. The Fish Fry also needed salt. We needed some things and our waitress was nowhere to be found. Needed extra napkins - no waitress. Needed drink refills - no waitress. Needed salt and pepper for our bland food - no waitress. The table next to ours was getting ready to leave and they had a salt and pepper shaker on their table. I got up and asked them if I could take theirs. The lady said " Of course you can have it. We needed to ask for salt for our food, too.". This is a very telling sign about their food. I don't know what they had for dinner but that is two sets of tables with food that lacked flavor. Regarding the waitress, the nachos came - no plates. The dessert came no fork. The coffee came - it was ice cold. I don't know if it is because we are getting to the end of the season that things are falling apart. read more
