This spot has had more name changes than a witness in a crime novel--Chef's, Classic Chef's, and…read morenow Chef's Gatherings--but whatever they're calling it these days, it's still serving up the kind of breakfast that fuels adventurers. We stopped in before tackling Shequaga Falls, Seneca Lake, and Taughannock Falls, because nothing says "ready to hike" like a plate of bacon, eggs, and hash browns that could double as a weighted vest. The coffee was strong enough to wake up even the laziest hiker, and the service was just the right mix of friendly and efficient--classic diner style. The pies in the case were eyeing us the whole time, whispering, "you'll regret not ordering me." Sadly, we stayed disciplined... but next time, those pies are mine. Bottom line: Chef's Gatherings may change names like it's in witness protection, but it's still a reliable, hearty, small-town diner. Perfect for loading up before chasing waterfalls.

Our fellow convention buddies had been here or were going. We made out way over and sat right down. After perusing the very simple menu we ordered. Donna was a server (she is a pistol) and took very good care of us. She brought us water and coffee within a few minutes of sitting down. We all (the four of us) had the regular fare. Eggs, toast, bagels, pancakes...etc... It just took a few minutes to be served our breakfast and it was all really good and tasty. All served at a very reasonable price. I truly enjoyed the food and really rustic venue. Everywhere we looked someone would say; "I had that," or "I still use that." All these old practical household items. It made for a fun experience. KUDOs to the team at Donna's Restaurant.

We were visiting family in the area and looking for a breakfast place on the way to the county fair. Keke's popped up on Apple Maps with limited reviews so we went in blindly. This was the best decision of the entire trip. The restaurant is so cute and clean. We sat down immediately even though it was fairly busy. We ordered everything from French toast to eggs, and the sausage gravy and biscuits were amazing! My grandson talked about his hot chocolate for the rest of the trip. The sweet ladies working that morning gave him toys, cookies, and even had us entering a free raffle. My husband said he hates that we live so far away from such a great place. Keke's definitely won my family over.

But once you go looking for it, it's easy to find, and has a really welcoming exterior, with cheery sign and lots of flowers. I arrived around 12:30 pm and the place was about half full. I had in mind to sit outside to eat, but the waitress, Melanie, let me know the bees were pretty bad, so I stayed inside. I ordered an egg salad sandwich on GF bread, which came with lettuce and tomato, and a side of chips. I didn't want the chips so upgraded to a side salad. The egg salad was nice - good amount of mayo, enough salt, nothing weird added, and a good portion. The GF bread was really good - a nice surprise. Lettuce and tomato were both fresh. Side salad was nothing too special, though the balsamic dressing was good (served on the side). Service was great - Melanie was friendly and attentive, accommodating and bubbly. I would definitely recommend and will be back next time I'm in town.

I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with cheddar cheese. The burger was more rare than medium. The cheese was shredded cheese instead of a slice of cheese which is ok but being piled up in the middle and hardly any on the side doesn't give a great flavor on each bite. They do have malt vinegar so the fries were good. My wife got a turkey deli sandwich and sweet tea. The tea was not good. Everything else was good. Not sure if we will try this place again.

It took a while for me to get up the courage to try it, even though there was an overwhelming chance I would be dissatisfied. I wasn't disappointed. It is a "Foo Foo" place in the truest sense of the term. In the 45 minutes I sat there in a booth, not one other male showed their face. I was near enough to the ordering counter to hear what the women were ordering - Lattes, pastries, Artisan soup and sandwiches, Artisan wraps, were the most popular selections. Clever marketing. Tack on the word ARTISAN on the menu and they charge double the true value. There were only 4 booths, but one was open, but the table top had not been cleaned. I had to interrupt the owner playing with his cell phone to do his job. Then I had to wipe down the top because he left it all wet. As for my lunch, I had their TBA for $14. It turned out to be 2 oz of turkey with two thin strips of bacon & a miserly piece of avocado with mayo on toasted bread (not really a panini). Still wondering where the mozzarella was. To add value the owner gives you a $0.50 bag of chips with the sandwich. The mayo was excellent! While tasty I was expecting it to be on a roll as the menu described. Bummer. (When I was leaving the order counter woman offered no apology for the mistake.) I ate slowly to immerse myself in the experience. Just an FYI - Panera Bread, which is known for its high prices, charges less than $14 for this same sandwich plus a bag of chips. Theirs is a triple decker. By comparison my sandwich looked like it was prepared by a free soup kitchen on a strict budget. Check the Panera site. https://www.panerabread.com/content/panerabread_com/en-us/menu/products/grilled-chicken-and-avo-blt.html My sandwich looked like a squashed grilled cheese sandwich. An even better deal than Panera, last month I went down the road (1 mile) to THE GRILLE, Their TB Club, is a triple decker fully dressed and served with a generous portion of fries and homemade pickles for $17. I remembered that I struggled to handle that handheld beast. It was a manly feast. I wound up taking half home to relish the next day for my lunch. Reeses in Waverly offers a triple decker too with fries and slaw for $13. The grand finale is that in addition to the unreal pricing, the owner adds 3% to the bill for credit cards. Really? He needs the extra $0.50 that badly. $16 without tip. Oh, I forgot to mention. You order at the counter, pay upfront, you seat yourself after trying to find a clean table, wipe down the table yourself, and a kitchen employee delivers the prepared sandwich. No followup by any employee to see if everything is Okay. It turned out to be a smart move not to leave a tip at the time of ordering. DON'T! Maybe if you are tight for time you might consider the Vanilla Bean. Please note that it is too small to be considered "intimate." If you are looking to satisfy a true hunger at a great price go to the Grille. Thank God for Guthrie, who I think provides most of Vanilla Bean's customers. OH, I ALMOST FORGOT: HEY VANILLA BEAN ! - UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE WITH AN UPDATED MENU AND USE THE CORRECT PRICING.
