The fresh tortilla chips and salsa were excellent. I forget what my friend had, but I had the steak fajitas. Delicious. My only wish was that there had been one more tortilla, as I had enough left on my plate to fill one more -- regardless, what I had left on my plate I enjoyed anyhow. We'd be back AND would encourage friends and other family members to stop in sometime.

The room had a separate bedroom and access to the second floor balcony. The check-in was easy and personal when we were shown the room and all the amenities. We had our own private entrance close to the parking area. The view of the river was beautiful and my husband enjoyed his first snowfall of the year during our stay (he's from Florida). The location was great since my family lives in surrounding towns. We opted to stay one extra night because we felt so comfortable. The room is pricey for weekend stays but completely worth it. We have already looked at booking another stay and definitely will in the future.

The whole brunch was quite a heart warming experience. Salt of the earth people who were so very friendly and instantly love-able. Seven tables in the quaint little restaurant and two outside. All but one large table of 6 were taken. A local couple offered to have us share their table. It was such a sweet gesture. As it turned out a smaller table did open up and was quickly cleared. We sat there. The menu had breakfast and lunch options. Prices were like from the 70's. We opted for basic eggs, toast homefries, sausage and coffee. All was quickly served and coffee refilled. Jen (the owner) was present and as sweet as could be. She seemed to enjoy getting to know her customers. Other patrons were engaging and friendly as well. We were blown away how friendly everyone was. It certainly added to the charm of this little place and made our travels memorable. Not sure the people realize just how special they made us feel. This is truly a hidden gem.

We had high expectations maybe because we live in DC, maybe because we saw the menu options, or…read morepossibly because the Christmas decor and overall ambiance was beautiful. Either way, the experience just wasn't what we expected. We were seated immediately and given menus. I was in love with all the seafood options, but my husband and I were craving steak. I ordered a crème brûlée martini that was fabulous. We also decided on the Cajun calamari appetizer. The calamari was plated with a plastic cup containing the dipping sauce. I hate to say this, but if you want to keep up a semblance of fine dining , black plastic cups shouldn't be a thing. We were on the fence about the calamari. Some pieces were soggy, but the flavor used in the breading was great. We finished and saw the decorative lettuce swimming in grease. Our Caesar salads were wonderful. When we got our steaks we were underwhelmed. The infamous black plastic cup was back and although I asked for extra butter and sour cream, that didn't happen. Both steaks were cooked to the temperature ordered but bland. I suppose we should have paid extra for the flavor add-ons. Sadly we had no salt/pepper so we took it from the empty table next to us. We ran out of water during the entree so we scrapped any idea of asking about dessert. We got the $127 check that included one drink, one appetizer, two small salads, and two entrees. Overall a 3-star experience, and for the price, that's polite. Could we have sent items back...yes. I truly felt that subpar calamari and bland steaks were not getting any better with a second try and they would still come out with a lackluster plastic cup in the wake. The service was decent. The waitresses were pleasant. Although we visit Owego regularly, I doubt our time will be well served coming back. We wanted to love this place but it didn't happen for us.

Neither dish was impressive or even memorable. We gave it another try for lunch about a month ago. I had the stuffed French toast and fries for the table to share. The portion of the fries for the table was very small, the smallest portion of fries we've seen. And they were average at best. The stuffed French toast was extremely sweet and I didn't really enjoy it. My wife had the house salad and said it was wonderful. The lunchtime waitress was disinterested and the service was slow for that lunch and average for dinner. We doubt we'll return. The Parkview hotel is our new go for meals when visiting Owego NY.
