First red flag: The place was huge and completely empty on a Saturday night at 6:00 p.m., during…read morethe height of the busy season on Keuka Lake. We had a group of six (four adults and two kids). At the start of the meal, we realized there wasn't a drink menu. When I asked our server for one, she let me know it was on a chalkboard 30 feet from our table. So I politely walked over and yelled back to our table with the options. Then we ordered appetizers. The onion rings and garlic parmesan fries were good. The bruschetta was okay, but the bread they put it on was the same pita they use for their hummus--not a crostini, which is normally how bruschetta is served. Overall, it was lackluster. Last were a dozen steamers. The clams came in a wooden chicken-wing bowl, filled halfway with a butter, wine, onion, and tomato sauce. The clams were overcooked, with each piece of clam meat about the size of a dime. Then came the "dinner." The table ordered two beef on wecks, which were inedible. They came on a hamburger bun with no salt and only a few kummelweck seeds. They don't have fresh horseradish on the side like everywhere else in WNY; instead, they slap on cold horseradish sauce. Both sandwiches were cold, and the meat was extremely low quality. They also got French onion soup as their side. I can honestly say that after eating 1,000+ bowls of French onion soup in my life, this was by far the worst. The bowl was filled with croutons, leaving virtually no room for broth or onions. The cheese they used was some cheap Swiss cheese that came off the top of the bowl in one giant, cold piece. 0/100! Next was the Cuban sandwich, which was also cold and made with low-quality ingredients. I took two bites and gave up. The third dish was the XXX Hot Chicken Wings. The chicken was gummy, and the sauce was a dark brown paste that tasted like chipotle. It wasn't hot at all. I ate four of the 12 wings before I just quit. Lastly, we ordered a large pizza. They charge $2.00 for every topping. It tasted EXACTLY like a frozen Tony's Supreme pizza you can get for $8.99 at the grocery store. Except we ordered four toppings, so this pizza cost us $34.00. The sauce and toppings didn't go out far enough, leaving a 2-3-inch crust that was hard and disgusting. We sent the first beef on weck back. It was the first thing that hit the table. After we received the rest of the food, we wanted to send all of it back. We got up from the table and told the waitress that no one could eat anything. She took the beef on weck off the bill. The service was not great either. The server only came to take our order and drop off the food. She also forgot to bring the last order of drinks. After we complained, we noticed her mood completely changed. She then just brought us the bill. She said, "I wish you'd told me something was wrong." We explained that we did tell her something was wrong, and she never checked on us again. I also explained that there really wasn't anything she could have done because it wasn't one bad dish--it was everything we ordered for dinner that was bad. We didn't want six more dinners brought out that sucked. The bill: If I had the courage, I would have asked to speak with a manager or owner and requested that the entire bill be removed except for the drinks, fries, and onion rings. But at that point, we just wanted to get out of there. The bill was $210 before tip for the worst meal I've had in as long as I can remember. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Save your money and make a PB&J at home.

Around the back is the entrance to this unassuming Italian restaurant. Its cozy and simple with…read morerustic wood accents. 6-8 tables and an ample bar for maybe 10. Mckelvey was my bartender/server. She was sweet and welcoming. She mixed a terrific Negroni! Backpedaling a bit. I arrived at 6 and by the time my cocktail was in front of me there was a wait. I was disappointed with the apps.. all fried..I'm sure delish but I wasn't in the mood. I had Utica beans and kale (had the hot pepper symbol but not at all spicy ) $16 with a side meatball $6 and sausage $6. Portions were generous and the atmosphere was lively. Everything arrived quickly. Same for my bar mates. I will go back and request extra extra cherry peppers.. Oh! And get the lemon marscapone cake... worth every calorie!! Mange!

When we arrived the place was packed, but sure enough, our table was waiting. First came water. Then our server Lydia came over to ask for our drink order. Because I was driving back home, I only wanted one craft beer for the evening. My wife was having wine. We each ordered the Caesar salad, which was half of a Romaine lettuce sliced lengthwise dressed with cheese and dressing. It was tasty, but a lot of food. I ordered the fra Diavlo seafood pasta with rigatoni. My wife had one of the specials, which looked a bit like beef on weck without the sesame seeds. Mine was good, but not all spicy like I was expecting. Hers was actually quite good. Both were loaded with garlic, which seems to be a staple of this place. Because it was a Friday evening and the place was packed, the noise level was quite high. This was especially true because behind me were two large tables of noisy diners. Once they left it was back to a more normal level. Our server Lydia was terrific. Overall staffing was quite good. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Well go back!

This review is regarding our 2nd stop at Outlet 111. We were here sometime late 2025 or maybe even…read moreearly 2026 and it was cold out so we were inside. We each had a drink and I believe we split steamed dumplings and all was good on that trip. In fact, we were elated to find the place because it had a good vibe and seemed nice and we decided we would return in nicer weather. We returned the last weekend of May and stayed inside this visit also. The place was empty when we arrived. We sat against the glass wall facing the water. My wife noticed that a bunch of tables were dirty as were the windows. They are very large windows to enjoy the waterway but when mixed with the dirty tables, it causes one to wonder. We ordered drinks and food. The drinks were excellent. I ordered the pork dumplings and empenadas and my wife got the special which was a smoked turkey hoagey. The dumplings were excellent once again. The empenadas were tasty but seriously light on filling. And her turkey sandwich was terrible. She asked for it deconstructed because she didnt want the hoagy roll. She ate most of the insides of it but couldnt get through the turkey. I generally serve as her garbage disposal and if she doesnt finish something, she pawns it off on me. I can eat just about anything but this was not chewable. I am not sure what to call it. It tasted delicious, as smoked turkey does, but the gristle/ fat or whatever it was, couldnt get chewed enough to even try to swallow it. It had to be a 1 to 1.5 oz clump of unchewable stuff (for lack of a proper term). So needless to say, we wont be back. Bottom line, drinks were excellent, some food was good, some borderline worth the cost and some terrible. To us, it was a waste of $100+ with tip

Imagine asking, "What would an ice cream stand be like if it were crossed with a fine FLX winery in a beautiful farm setting?"--that's exactly the vibe here. Elevated, serene, and absolutely delicious. The facility and grounds are immaculate, with a peaceful, pastoral atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The staff was warm and welcoming, and they generously offered samples so we could explore the flavors before committing (dangerous, because they're all incredible). We ultimately chose three flavors: * Cookie Monster (Real Cookies & Cream) -- Their take on cookies & cream is next‑level. It's built on their handcrafted vanilla cream base and loaded with hearty chunks of their own legendary chocolate chip cookies. Think of an ice cream sandwich turned inside out--rich, decadent, and deeply satisfying. * Fleur Bleu -- A gorgeous blend of local organic blueberries, subtle French lavender, and their classic vanilla cream. It's delicate, floral, and beautifully balanced. This one kept us slowing down each bite just to savor the nuance. * Ditch Mint Chip -- Made with hand‑picked fresh mint and dark chocolate chips. Bright, refreshing, and leagues above the artificial mint flavor you get elsewhere. It was excellent, though admittedly overshadowed by the other two standouts. The frozen custard itself is among the best we've ever tasted--rich, creamy, and unbelievably smooth thanks to their signature use of local duck eggs. Even the vanilla base was a sleeper hit, with a depth of flavor you don't expect until it hits you. The setting is perfect for a Finger Lakes outing. Whether you're spending the day visiting wineries, hiking the gorges and waterfalls, or just exploring the region, you need to make this a stop on your route. It's one of those places that elevates your whole day. A truly special spot. We'll be back.
