    I took the most beautiful woman here and we had steaks and spicy jelly, jalapeño poppers. The food was amazing.

    I want to be as respectful as I possibly can. The staff was very friendly. The bathrooms were my…read morefirst stop and they were very clean, which is always a big plus for me, so I really appreciated that. At first glance, I was a little hesitant about the building itself. It's very old, with no real signage, just "Chinese Buffet." The sushi was... okay. If you're looking for something more authentic, I'd recommend ordering a roll instead and telling them you want something authentic. Hopefully they will be as accommodating as they appear. What's out on the buffet seems geared more toward people who might not recognize good sushi if it slapped them in the face (lol). The Chinese food was decent and, surprisingly, not overly oily. I was honestly impressed, since lower-end Chinese buffets often have food swimming in oil, and this place didn't. I think a good makeover could really do this place justice. It's alright, not horrible. It could be a fun place for younger kids who want to try something new, but do not bring someone here on a date. Seriously. Don't do it. They also took our silverware half way through, they did not offer any knives to cut food with. I wanted to throw away napkins cause I had my child with me and not a trash can in sight!

    We came at a weird time of day and they had food brought out fast and fresh. We always have a great…read moreexperience. Great service.

And it was nice if you are used to eating dinner at the kitchen table. Ambiance is your aunts 1970's house. Menu choice is limited. One house salad (iceberg) option. Fried apps with zero imagination and a short entree list including a $40 filet. Portions were generous. Service was pleasant and quick. I hear prime rib night is fabulous. The Decoy IS a nice place for dinner. Just leave lofty expectations at the door. Heather & Bob were entertaining.

    We ate at The Decoy twice during our stay in Watkins Glen, and both visits were wonderful. The…read moreservice was incredibly friendly and welcoming -- it really felt like everyone, staff and diners alike, was in a good mood. The place has a warm, down-to-earth vibe that makes you feel right at home, like a true local favorite should. We specifically went back for the prime rib after reading someone mention how they prepared it just the way they liked -- we both ordered it seared and it was honestly the best prime rib I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and mouth watering. The prices were very reasonable, the portions were just right, and nothing felt overdone or pretentious. Also, don't skip the fried cheese curds -- they were amazing. If you're anywhere near the area, The Decoy is absolutely worth a stop (or two).
