We wanted to treat ourselves and orders the prime rib and the rib eye. Although the mashed potatoes were good, we were rather disappointed in the bland vegetables. They were truly a side dish, not given much thought or effort. Unfortunately the main event, the prime rib and rib eye were not seasoned at all (thankfully I thought ahead for the request of double onion and mushrooms). After trimming the excess fat from the end of the rib eye, the main portion was a good cut, well marbled and I was able to take it home, chop it up and season it for a yummy breakfast steak wrap for my husband. Honestly, we struggled to give the meal a 3 or 4 because the base skills were there and the server was so polite. It was a satisfying meal, but not one we would crave.

The ambiance is a gem of the Finger Lakes situated with a breath taking view of Keuka Lake. The service is counter to table as part of the experience, with a tempting view of in house desserts. Lillian Taylor and the Bully Hill family make this is a personal experience offering the finest of menu choices (many from local harvest when possible) to the extensive wine offerings bottled on premise. The Bully Hill wine shop offers tastings, and purchases from the grapes harvested from their vineyards. This is an experience that you should not miss, it's personal and inviting and local. The "grape juice" (non-alcohol) is for those who want to experience the native grapes, the wines listing is from dry to sweet and sure to please. Priced perfectly suited for a nice reminder of your time at Bully Hill. (they will ship from the wine store for you as a gift to someone special, or just a fun take home gift for yourself to remember this moment in your travels) Call ahead for reservations to assist in your seating, as they can be busy especially in the fall autumn season. Also to note is the art gallery by works of Walter Taylor, and a nice gift shop. The Finger Lakes has many wonderful wineries, Bully Hill is the inspiration for many of them to follow. Try the in house soups and pairings, I like the Banty Red or Love my Goat !! Enjoy:)

Today I enjoyed one of their house specials- Strawberry Basil Chicken Salad. The chicken salad was prepared with large chunks of white meat chicken on a bed of greens with a fresh, buttery croissant. Simply divine! Our usual hostess greeted us warmly and showed us to our table with the awesome lake view. While you order at the front counter, servers deliver your food table side. The waiters on the floor are very attentive to check in and fill beverages. While I enjoyed ice tea on this warm day there is a full list of wines and specialty cocktails available. After lunching the winery gift shop, tasting room & museum are all nearby. The restaurant at Bully Hill Vineyards is only open for lunch and offers a brunch menu on Sundays. It's well worth a visit

Parking is sparse, street parking was convenient on a Sunday though. We stopped for lunch - they had a small menu compared to what was listed online. We settled on some burgers, and the shrimp sandwich. Everything was very good, well cooked burgers, with toppings and crispy fries. Sodas were refreshing and our waitress was friendly. Nice to have indoor or outdoor option. Would return for dinner, which looked like it had a larger menu!

That killed any ambiance- only 3 tables filled but the wait staff wanted to set up outside rather than be bothered with us. Our first visit of the year... probably our last!

The seating area is small, but has a nice bar and TVs on each wall. Ordering anything for takeout is an option, but pizza and wings are a nice alternative to Pizza Hut or the slightly pricier Rico's. Parmesan garlic wings are the favorite in my family and the Buffalo wing pizza has a nice bite to it. Not the most upscale joint, but good for a family dinner or a quick stop for fish-fry on Fridays. The bar-style munchies are a great snack when you are out drinking! Lots of brown-monotone menu options though. The salads pretty much have a bunch of toppings that will not leave you feeling like you just ate a salad. If that's not a problem for you, the taco salad is pretty great! The munchies, fried food, and plain pizzas are pretty much the only vegetarian options, not anything available that is vegan. I know this is a local, family-owned joint that can make up for the lack of other sit-down-restaurant-type establishments in this area.

We are road tripping our way to northern NY and figured we'd stop at Watkins Glenn as a stop on our way to Rochester. Last minute we decided to stay for an overnight. Hotel/Motel: When we were driving I was doing my best to scout the area for somewhere to stay. Lately I've been using a particular chain, but didn't see any in the area, but lots of motels. We got into town (which is super cute by the way) and it seemed pretty clear that motels were the THING, and they all seemed fairly cute. We stopped to eat at the marina and decided to pick a motel near the main entrance to the park so we could walk there and not pay to park. We ended up turning up the west side of the lake and came to the south entrance and boom, a lodge was across the street. Decided to pull in and ask about availability. We opted for a two queen motel, but there were cabins (single queen) and king options too. The front desk attendant was amazingly friendly, and even offered to let us check out a room before booking to make sure we were ok with it. Beds- comfortable and clean so far! Bathroom- fairly spacious, plenty of clean towels, bars of soap (no shampoo/conditioner), and a closet shelf and hanging bar. Amenities- plenty of parking, no ice machine (a bit of a bummer since we're traveling with a cooler, although they advertise 10lb bag of ice for $3 at the desk), a little outdoor sitting area. Ok here's the best parts. All on "campus" is a full restaurant, tavern, and brewery. AND, we just have to walk across the street for free entry into the park with a playground and pool!! What an amazing family friendly find this is! Restaurant/Brewery: I believe you can tell a little about an establishment by their kids menu. If it's just chicken fingers and Mac and cheese, it's just ok for me. So imagine my delight when the first option was a London Broil!!! It came in thin easy to eat slices, a side of rice pilaf, and a trip to the salad bar. My husband had a chicken dinner, which were two marinated chicken breast and rice pilaf. I had broiled shrimp with rice pilaf. Everything was so good. Service was quick (always good with kids) and we loved the salad bar. It was small, but had so many fresh items, and it allowed us to get food right away (also good for kids). My husband and I really enjoyed our beers, and I kind of want to go back tomorrow afternoon to sip one on their amazing deck. Ok, the length is getting absurd now, but I highly recommend this place, and can't wait to share it with family, friends, and you brave souls to read this novel.

We have not been here in a couple years and won't be back anytime soon.
