The restaurant wasn't crowded, but there were enough guests to give it a nice atmosphere. It felt comfortable, relaxed, and not noisy at all.

My older child had the Labrador and finished the entire pizza by himself, while my younger child ordered the Authentic with pepperoni and really enjoyed it. My wife ordered the fish of the day, and I chose the scallop special. Overall, the food was very good, the service was pleasant, and the waterfront setting made for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

She said "the cook isn't the best tonight". The place was not that packed & most of the people around me had their food already. Either way, my hometown was playing a game on TV so I still ordered a beer to watch & hang out. After about 30 minutes the bartender told me the cook was caught up in case I still wanted to order. I was still hungry of course so I ordered the blue cheese burger & upgraded to onion rings instead of chips, which the girl mentioned there would be an up charge & I agreed. She asked how I wanted the burger cooked & I said medium rare. After about 20+ minutes I got my food. It looked really good but its looks deceived me. The burger was well done & the onion rings were cooked in old oil. When the Bill came I was charged for a full order of onion rings to go along with a $14 burger. Pretty disappointing all around, besides the cheep beer.

The dinner party had a hard time deciding what to eat. It all sounded and looked great. Eventually choosing different burgers and a cheesesteak. We loved the choices for sides. Everything came out hot and delicious. The burgers were big and very juicy, with great flavor, and the cheesesteak hit the spot. The ambiance was classic eclectic covering the walls.

We moved to Colton almost three years ago from Boston and now we regret not coming here sooner. We took a great sampling of the menu and enjoyed every dish. The 2 burgers were cooked perfectly- 1 medium and 1 medium rare. The fries were very crunchy and held its own. My mummy got the fish fry - the only negative was perhaps the fish was overcooked and hard to eat- the beer batter tasted great though but I would suggest a min less on the deep fry. The chicken wings were fantastic,ally juicy -( we choose the golden bbq known more in North Carolina) even my husband enjoyed them and he does not like saucy food. The large portion of boneless chicken rings would be even a meal with a light salad. Great crunchy Onion rings that hold their own. Mozzarella sticks were nice. The Buffalo Egg rolls were very mild which was great for my family but I enjoy them on the hotter side. I really adore fried pickles and the batter they used held up to the juicy pickle:). I would like to see if in future they offer pickle chips and not just the spears. The only other thing I would point out- the blue cheese dipping sauce could be better. Needs more- maybe if they added real blue cheese chunks. Overall great experience, nice staff and a cosy dining room and bar. At the time we picked up the take a way there were four tables full families The Barking Dog Saloon is off the beaten path but entirely an adventure to find it so worth it. We only are able to go out once a month but I am sure this will be our go to place- maybe the next time try their Chicken Parm Sandwich. Keep up the good work- you have a diamond of a place.

I ordered their take on a French dip sandwich. The food was good overall, certainly enjoyable and well-prepared, but nothing really stood out as particularly memorable.

The space is minimalist and gives old fashioned turn of the 20th century vibes. There's obviously a lot of pride and a commitment to local foods here. We ordered the night's cocktail special the New York Sipper -yum- the Raquette salad, two of the small (not small at all) plates that were on special that night: the creamy barley risotto and the butternut squash and mushroom parpadella. As a main course, we shared the house-made mushroom burger, savory and flavorful. Everything was fantastic, with many earthy, fresh and delicious flavors and a variety of textures. We clearly ordered too much food, since the small plates were actually full portion-size. Skipped dessert, although the special was tiramisu. They're under a lot of pressure to compete in Potsdam, but they're doing something that shows classical training and a commitment to quality. Several Finger Lakes wines on the list. Prices are astonishingly low for such an excellent meal. Note: tip is included and there were no "lighter" meats like poultry or fish on the menu. Thus the great vegetarian options, I assume.
