Luckily, I managed to get us a big enough table. My family mostly enjoyed sandwiches. My cousin is obsessed with Reuben's and loved it. My mom and I loved our shrimp tacos. They were really crispy and loved the sauce. They also have good beers on tap and drinks.

Beef in a weck was phenomenal. Fresh, toasted, delicious side of au jus. Ordered sides of macaroni salad, and coleslaw. The macaroni salad was very good, the coleslaw was rather tasteless unfortunately.

The atmosphere is spot on, offering a beautifully elegant setting while maintaining a warm, comfortable vibe that makes you want to linger.

Having such fond memories of growing up here, it's truly wonderful to see how beautifully the new owners have honored its legacy.

My comment is specifically about the dessert menu. Very…read moredisappointing offerings. The "German Chocolate Cake" was an almost total fraud. The cake was dark chocolate, probably made from a mix, rather than from the German's Sweet Chocolate which is not only traditional but required if it is to be called "German" and be taken seriously, and I do take my baked goods and pastries seriously. Calling it "German" in the first place bastardizes it and should have been the "red flag" that told me to eliminate it as a choice. German's sweet chocolate would have produced a cake with a totally different flavor, color and texture. The traditional coconut/pecan custard between the layers and on the top layer was hardly noticeable. The flavor was completely overwhelmed by the heavy gloppy substance that was probably meant to be chocolate frosting. I could have ordered one of the several offerings with apples but I can make those at home. There was nothing unique or enticing on the menu even though our server had informed us that there were new items. Cake on one's birthday is such a treat. This one was more like an ironic joke...should have simply ordered ice cream.

We were so happy that we did. It was so cute in there and the people were very nice. You were greeted warmly and got great service. We went for dinner one night. It was really busy which made it took longer to get our meals. They were worth the wait. I absolutely loved the crab cake. It had a lot of crab and was very crispy. The side of mashed potatoes was buttery, creamy goodness. We liked the food so much that we decided to go back the next day for brunch. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast plates. The sausage was especially good. Such a cute place with great service and great food!

It has simple country charm as it was once a home that has been converted into a diner. There is nothing fancy about it but it's nice and cozy. I highly suggest the Wild Wild Western omelet with ham (chicken is the other option). Their pancakes are very large- as large as a plate, in fact! The eggs benedict, breakfast sandwich plate, and their hashbrowns always come out really well too.

Huge disappointment from a 7+ year loyal customer…read more I feel terrible putting this review out there because I have a lot of respect for the restaurant owner, but this is the only way to get my message across after bringing it to the staff's attention and having them not seem to care. My family and friends recently visited the Skaneateles location expecting the great meal we're used to, but the food quality and preparation were deeply disappointing. Coming from an Italian family, quality matters to us. The dipping olive oil was a bright "antifreeze" green with horrendous flavor--it's a shame to use such low-grade product when high-quality oils are available. The pear and gorgonzola pizza was soggy and completely bland. To make matters worse, the shrimp pasta was so excessively greasy and oily that it actually made my daughter feel sick. Balancing oil and flavor is basic cooking, and this fell far short. The Skaneateles location has a great ambiance, though the staff could use some work. We will stick to the Auburn location from now on, as the food quality and service there are far superior. I hope ownership reads this and makes the necessary corrections.

From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in a trendy, upscale-casual atmosphere beautifully inspired by Frida Kahlo. We kicked things off with the Triple Dipper for the table--a giant basket of warm, fresh tortilla chips served with salsa roja, guacamole, and queso, with the guacamole and queso being absolute standouts. For my main, I ordered the Ensalada Verde and a slightly citrusy kale salad tossed with seasoned tortilla strips and extra pepitas. It was remarkably well-balanced, perfectly dressed, very tasty, and visually lovely, too! Thr service and atmosphere truly made the entire evening. Our server was friendly and attentive, effortlessly accommodating our request to split the bill three ways without missing a beat. And, even with the bustling atmosphere and the incredible amount of vibrant, intricate decor packed into the space, the restaurant was remarkably clean and well-maintained. It is always impressive to see a spot that has been open for a while keep up such pristine standards. We wrapped up our meal by sharing an order of churros--six hot, chewy sticks served with a spicy chocolate dipping sauce and whipped cream. The chocolate had a serious, wonderful kick to it, and the whipped cream was a lifesaver for balancing out the spice for those of us who love more heat than we can actually handle. Whether you're dropping in for one of their many margaritas or a scorpion bowl or enjoying a full, three-course meal, I highly recommend eating here while visiting Skaneateles!

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

We visited The Nest Tavern and it was very good!…read more We were on a mission to take a long and winding ride through the country to see some early fall foliage, and I had been wanting to check out The Nest Tavern, located in the quaint area of Apulia Station, right near Lafayette. there was plenty of parking available on the right hand side, and we walked into the VERY RUSTIC and cozy bar/restaurant. A very busy, but friendly bartender informed me that they didn't have waitress service, but customers could simply order at the bar and then be notified with a convenient little remote buzzer that their food was ready. We both ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger, which had nice sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese on it along with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. We took a walk on the wild side and ordered tater tots along with our burgers and they were very tasty with a little ketchup drizzled on them. Yes, we normally opt for slightly healthier sides with our meals, but the tater tots sounded and tasted really good! We both devoured our meals and finished every bite and truth be told, did not eat another thing again that day because we were so full. One thing I liked about the is that the restaurant has these nice little, square stainless steel mesh, condiment caddies with everything you need in it that you can take right to your table. Another great feature about this establishment as that they routinely have live music performances every week from May through September and have a tall, covered, wooden pavilion for the bands to perform under with ample seating, tables, and bar service available. Our bill came to just $30 plus tip and we thought that was very reasonable, considering the friendly atmosphere, good food, and quality service. We will definitely be back, perhaps in the spring when the trees are blooming, and the first band of the season is ready to hit the stage. Food: Service: Atmosphere:

This was our first time to The Nest. We were interested in checking out their outdoor concert…read morearea. 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.

I would say the one downfall is how hard parking can be between 11-1pm. However it doesn't stop me from coming. Their employees are the kindest!
