    The food was good and priced was very reasonable for the portion size. Plenty of tables to eat in the cafe. The cafe inside the museum had many dining options such as cheeseburgers, pizza, chicken fingers, salads, ramen bowls, desserts and much more. It is served cafeteria style so you put want you want on your tray. The ramen was made to order and quite tasty.

    This cafe reminded me of a less crowded version of the food court at any IKEA. Cleany, organized, ample choices. I went with the bowl of chili as the cup looked substantially smaller and the bowl was only approx one dollar more. Soup was hot, filled with beans and meat, and sprinkled with cheddar cheese. Filling and hit the spot for my hungry stomach. The soup could use some hot sauce or added flavors but I did not go searching out for them and enjoyed the spacious areas you can sit while looking at glass art pieces spread out among the cafe. As always people SYOY!!!

    Not bad for a cafeteria in a museum. They have a lot of interesting Asian options, but I went with a basic cheeseburger. The museum itself is exceptional. Having a clean, spacious café with decent food is a bonus.

    Ordered a London fog at the espresso bar. It was made incorrectly and barely had any taste. I was not impressed.

    I have been here several times. The best time to go is definitely during their seafood season. They…read morehave amazing oyster and shrimp. The prices are decent. Kathleen has been our server numerous times and she is fabulous. I'd definitely request her if it's your first time. She is extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Cocktails are also amazing and the view is unbeatable.

    Ate dinner here tonight primarily for the view with high hopes for an equally great dinner....and…read morewe were happily satisfied! We actually stopped up yesterday to check the place out, erroneously thinking this was a hotel with a small restaurant attached. (It's actually a restaurant with banquet facilities.) When we arrived, there were no people sitting inside, and we couldn't see the outside dining area, so we, again, erroneously, though they were closed. (Everyone was dining outside enjoying the view!) We asked about making a reservation for tonight at 7, and the hostess told us they should be able to accommodate us no matter what, but we made one just in case. Then earlier today we decided to try to eat dinner around 6 pm, and figured we would go up and take our chances an hour before our reservation. The restaurant was pretty full, but there were still some outside tables, and we were happy they could accommodate us. We had a great table overlooking the Chemung Valley. Friday nights there is live music, and our table was nicely situated to enjoy it. We ordered a glass of wine and a prosecco, the brussels sprouts and salmon cakes starters, a Caesar dinner salad, and I got a dessert. Our favorite was the brussels sprouts which were perfectly seared, and were dressed with bacon, onions and slices of parmesan. The salmon cakes were ok - they tasted fine but texture-wise they were very soft/mushy, and fell apart when we tried to move them to our small plates. The Caesar salad we had mixed reviews - I thought the light house-made dressing over fresh romain with slivers of parmesan was a great palate-cleansing final course, but my friend felt that the dressing did not taste like Caesar at all, and said she would not order it again. Despite the mixed reviews (sorry no picture) we ate the whole thing. For dessert, I still had room, so I got their 'summer dessert' of lemon meringue parfait - basically lemon curd over vanilla ice cream topped with toasted meringue. The curd and ice cream were exactly what I wanted, but the granulated sugar in the meringue was not fully dissolved, so the meringue was gritty and very very sweet. Still, I ate it all. Service was fantastic with a team of young ladies taking care of us. And, despite the restaurant being really busy, our food came out fairly quickly. A few additional notes - we were there roughly 2 hours, enjoying our meal and drinks, and in that time the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. We were ready for it with sweaters and scarves, but many outside diners were not. There are some big fire pits which they turned on just as it was getting dark - these were great and if we had more energy we might have stayed longer and enjoyed the ambiance. Also, reservations are definitely recommended if you want to sit outside. The place is quite large so there's lots of inside seating, but outside is pretty special. Finally, like other spots in Elmira, almost all the wines on their list are fingerlakes wines - there are a couple from outside of NY, but for such a nice place with nice food the limited wine choice was a bit disappointing. Still, giving this place a solid 4 stars because we really enjoyed the whole experience. We will definitely be back!
