The sandwiches and salads were delicious, and the homemade ice cream was the perfect finishing touch. But honestly, the whole place is just adorable! There is so much to look at and discover--it has such a fun, charming, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. We've made quite a few stops on this trip, and Ballywicks is definitely one of the places we'll remember. Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and just a really fun experience. If you're anywhere nearby, don't miss Ballywicks! We highly recommend it and would happily come back again.

We visit Beak & Skiff/1911 at least 3-4 times a year, and it's always nice to drop by!…read more It wasn't terribly crowded, but definitely busy. They've added some more indoor seating by their bar area, but tables do fill up quickly. It's a family-friendly joint, so there's always a mix of families and friend groups of different ages moving around. There's a lot of outdoor tables and chairs, which offer some AMAZING views of the hills. These, like anything in CNY, are weather-dependent. It was a cold fall day, so we didn't spend too much time outside. I went with a bourbon maple cider, which was DELICIOUS. Probably my favorite (i'm not a huge cider guy). My wife got the flight, which had a lot of solid options. It was roughly $30 for that, which is a bit steep in my opinion. The general store area has a good variety of things ranging from cheeses and sauces to ice cream/other B&S products. I wish they had more Ayrloom products available, but that's okay. Everything is reasonably priced, but definitely on the pricier end depending on what it is. We didn't get anything to eat this time around, but i'd say their food is so-so. Nothing has ever really been amazing, but if you need a bite while with the family, or to soak up some of the alcohol, it is convenient, but can be pricey. Our main goal was to get a bag of apples (we think their apple picking rates are a little steep), and the bag was decently full. As a tip, i'd sign up for their rewards (it's fittingly called "apples") because they add up quick, and you can get some money off your purchases. Another note is the parking. The place partners with the sheriff's office to direct traffic, which helps, but it definitely feels unorganized at times.

Friends took us here for dinner when we visited Syracuse - a longish drive out of town, but WOW -…read moreit was worth it. I had the Haddock Au Gratin and my Wife their veal escalope special - fantastic, as were the potatoes and vegetables served with it. My only regret was not saving room for something from their comprehensive dessert menu. They also featured a selection of bottled beers from local breweries and very nice wines by the glass. Our pleasure was topped off by the modest size of the check. Try it - you can't help but enjoy yourself.

Dinner started out great we had fried beans and tomatoes French onion soup everybody had a salad and French onion dip. Those were our favorite parts of our meal. I had the vegan pasta with tomato sauce. My grandmother had the fish. My husband had the shrimp steak and I forgot what my parents had. We all thought our meals were OK except my husband did not like his steak. He didn't think the quality was great. When you're going to a meal that's as expensive as going to a steakhouse you expect better. Service was OK. It got slow by the end and our meal ended up being 2 hours long.

Smash burger, turkey, ham, roast beef yes, really, even bacon and cheese. Extra yummy. Service was very good, plus let's not forget their freshly baked popovers. Oh so good.

The outside entrance and inside reception area were also very welcoming. It was a wonderful end to our festive day. We had a group of around 150. Our room was comfortable and spacious. Service was good. I, along with a few others at my table had ordered the baked haddock. It's funny, when I got my plate I thought it looked boring, no color. Lol, you do eat with your eyes first. I must say though, the haddock was cooked perfectly. The potatoes and veggies were also cooked well. Nothing was overly exciting but tasted fine. I'd say better than most banquet type meals. I was surprised that there was only 1 bartender for our large group. Though considering we were just there for dinner and not a long evening, it worked out fine. Overall, it was a nice dinner. 2023-122

Full disclosure, I ordered takeout from here because I was short on time but wanted to try…read moresomething different. I don't think I'd go the takeout route again because I have seen the restaurant and it does seem very vibey. It's priced as a splurge and you are paying for ambiance, and that really doesn't translate through to-go/delivery. That being said, my food was very good. I ordered the Calabaza Rostizada, Con Salsa De Recao Y Congri. Roasted pumpkin? As soon as I saw it on the menu I knew I had to have it. Perfect fall food. As a vegetarian (pescatarian, technically) I also really appreciate a choice of entree different from the typical non-meat options. The black beans and rice were well seasoned and flavorful. The pumpkin flesh was very tender and quite rich -- even without the sauce it didn't taste bland. I did wish there was a little more sauce because that really made a difference. I'd try the food again, but definitely dine in next time.

Me and my partner stopped into Isla on a weekday to grab lunch. We've never been to this restaurant…read moreso we decided to give it a try. We got to the restaurant about 20 min after it opened, so we were the second couple to come in, so yea on not having to wait. When we first walking in, we noticed the interior was giving very jungle/tropical vibes, but in an intimate, get close kind of level. The music was jamming but not too loud, which made me like the atmosphere even more. We were seated at one on the table in the front window which was cute and comfortable. So already they have the vibe just right which had us looking forward to what the food and drinks would present. We ordered our drinks, my partner got wine and I got the "in the jungle" mojito. It was not bad a bad drink, it was strong, not too sweet and muddled mint like a proper Mojito should have. I personally wasn't a fan of the flavor profile because it had strong Black licorice notes and I hate black licorice. I finished it though, cuz we don't do wasted drinks over here. Lol While looking at the menu we noticed there was a lot of gnat in the window and flying around us. I killed at least 3 and swatted away a fly. So we asked could we move to another table hoping that they'd just stay in the window, but no! Some of the gnats followed us over. This point was the indicator that the experience was about to lose its luster. The appetizer: ceviche with plantain tostones. Rating: 5/10 The ceviche had a good base of pickled onions and lime juice, so it definitely wasn't dry, however there was a pinch of the peppers, which made it more like eating a whole onion that a mix of veggies. The shrimp was overcooked, but the tostones were cooked to perfection. Like soft but not too much that it would crumble. They only gave 3 which didn't equal out for the large amount of ceviche. Main dish: CHURRASCO CON CHIMICHURRI, ACOMPANADO DE UN MAJADO DE YUCA Y AJO ASADO. Rating: 4/10 The dish smelled and looked good. Never having Yuca before, I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised that it was like a thicker mashed potato with a bit of chewy. I really liked it! Then I moved to the meat and first piece was super done with no pink, which is fine cuz I know some stakes you'll see the pink more towards the middle. I was still hopeful at that point, but moving some of the strips showed that the pink was nowhere to be found. I continued on hoping that the larger pieces would still be tinder but to no luck, it was chewy and needed a bit more seasoning. Trudging through 1/4 of the meal, I figure I'd to-go box it and work some magic at home, cuz the yuca was really good. My partner got the snapper and said it was ok when it was really hot but the more it cooled it was low on flavor and dry. They said 4/10. Service: 7/10 Our server was very nice and was attentive at first but after we got our main course she swung back around early after she gave it to us then they went MIA. Mind you at that point it was only 1 other guest and they weren't in our waiter section. We were pretty much done with our food at I kept trying to get their attention. First was the stare in their direction, then it escalated to waving like a 5th grader who really knows the answer. I almost yelled out to them but figured I'd just keep waving my hand and eventually they'd come. I had to do this for about 5min more cuz our server was having a good ol' time chatting. I wanted to order dessert and looked at the menu after finally getting our server attention, but I passed on the idea cuz I didn't want to look like one of those blow up fan dolls outside the used car dealership for that round of the service. I get it, it's a slow service time but don't be slow with the only table you have. All in all, would I come back...maybe for the apps and drinks, but was it worth $174 which included automatic gratuity $26.60, which I've never seen for a party of 2,....absolutely not!
