Wanted to love this place after 2 recommendations from locals and while the food we had was good the service was terrible. We stood at the bar for 25 minutes before getting acknowledged and then it took 45 minutes to get our apps. We wanted to order entrees but could not wait another 45 minutes or more for entrees so we left and ate at another location. Poor bartender was completely overwhelmed and could not keep up with bar services and table services. Won't give lower stars cause the devil eggs and bread we had was good but yea can't have such long wait times to be acknowledged. I understand giving grace but 25 minutes to even be acknowledge is insane. read more

We chose the Park Inn to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Everything was spectacular! We were greeted very pleasantly and seated quickly, our server was very friendly and attentive, and the food was AMAZING! The ambience is perfectly Hammondsport/ Keuka Lake! read more

Well, we're talking NY State, so there's issues! This is a nice restaurant with helpful staff, but prices are too high. The food is good, but not good enough for the price. Due to higher taxes and other things that affect cost, things just plane cost more in NY. read more

We enjoyed dinner at The Park Inn while visiting Hammondsport. Menu is small, but offers a nice variety. We ordered deviled eggs and salmon Rilitte for appetizers. Bread isn't offered on tables or even an option to order. We ordered two filets with the potatoes, spinach, mushrooms vegetables, and the shrimp and risotto. For dessert, we had two crème brûlées and a strawberry sorbet. Service was good. Food was good. read more

Felt service was poor even though plenty of tables. We were double charged for services. Lots of stares from customers. Food was decent. Drinks were exceptional. read more

Food was overpriced and heirloom tomato salad had barely a half of a tomato. Bacon on trout entree was inedible and tasted like pieces of burnt wood. Service was slow. Striked me as pretentious. Main course was tasty but not nearly as good as the restaurants we have tried in Brooklyn. Told them it was our anniversary but no acknowledgment of that with the server or restaurant. Not sure why they asked if it was a special occasion. read more

We ate there twice last year. It's a very pleasant end to an afternoon of wine tasting. The first time was better. The second time they were overwhelmed. read more

A real hidden gem! The menu is curated by an incredible team of chefs. The food is always outstanding. The ambiance is very well done (especially the fireplace in the winter) read more

I brought my son and his wife for dinner and chef could not accompany vegetarian requests. I'm very disappointed with their attitude regarding specific requests since the server states that the meals were made to order. Too expensive for this service From the kitchen. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend away and stayed and dined at the Park Inn. We were both extremely impressed and plan to return soon. We stayed in room 5, which was so charming, comfortable & made us feel so relaxed. The attention to detail at this inn was incredibly impressive. While above the restaurant, it was still quiet. We passed other guests while in the hallway getting coffee, but we all had lots of privacy and quiet and it exceeded our expectations. Let's talk about dinner. The Park Inn is stunning, rustic, and had such warmth to it. It was perfect for a belated anniversary dinner celebration. The service was stellar, the food was decadent. Chef Dan Eaton has crafted such a special menu and everything was perfect -- from the drinks and appetizers to my filet mignon and my husband's venison Wellington. I also devoured the carrot cake. I would drive the 70 miles each way just to come for dinner again and again. Highly recommend! read more

My mom and I have been wanting to try this place for so long. During the pandemic we would get take out from here. But sitting in their cozy dining room on a cold winters night was gorgeous. The service was amazing and very helpful as we sat by the fire and tasted some of the best wine of Keuka Lake. We both started with salads that were really something to brag about in their own. Lots of vegetables that they grew in their own farm. Then we got the shrimp agnolotti (which is kind of like a ravioli they said) with sweet potato filling and the steak with mashed potatoes and back Brussels Sprouts. Can't wait to come back. Hammondsport really has some of the best restaurants, in the finger lakes! read more

Excellent food and atmosphere every time! The chef knows how to put together an amazing seasonal menu, and all the staff are consistently friendly. The owner of this establishment is doing it right! read more

A wonderful dining experience! A beautiful inn with an ambient setting top of the line servers and a creative fantastic menu. They have their own farm so the ingredients were spectacular. We had the fall salad - filled with crispy apple slices, sharp cheddar and pistachios. The tastes were enhanced with apple cider vinaigrette ! I had the steel head trout with root vegetables. The tastes were so complimentary it was delicious. My husband had the gnocchi - freshly made I may add - with butternut squash, sage, parm. Geez it was good. Portions were perfect and the prices will surprise you. A lot of value for such creative dishes and wonderful flavors. Finally we split the carrot cake with pineapple sorbet - once again a chef who really knows how to put things together in a way that surprises and delights at the same time. The stars align in this place - fresh ingredients prepared by a creative chef, served by professional friendly servers and prices that will not break the bank. WOW! read more

Food is very good. Pricing is high and portion are very small. We paid 170.00. For four dinners no alcohol. Had to go across the street to eat again read more

Finally had an excellent meal at the Park Inn. Dining out has not been pleasant around here lately. The Park Inn had exceptional oysters on the shell, followed by a wonderful steelhead trout with polenta and vegetables. Outstanding dinner. Thank you! read more

Great ambiance in the tent; we had perfect weather. We enjoyed the music soundtrack and the potted plants. Service could have been better. Waiter is very friendly and helpful but forgetful and needs to glance towards our table more often; we had trouble getting his attention. The best items I ate were the dessert and dessert wine. I recommend the LBV Porto, Sandeman. I wish the menu would have said that it's a ruby port. Luckily, it was, since I dislike tawny port. My favorite dish was the fresh (blue)berries with slivered almonds, almond pound cake and coconut cream. A creative and delicious combination; I licked the plate clean. This dessert was large enough for me to take half of it home. Chef is good, but I feel that the menu needs to be more descriptive. Both dishes I ordered were not what I was expecting. I ordered squash blossoms and didn't know they were fried. Nor was I expecting the ricotta to be melted. This dish is delicious and I finished it, with my husband's help, but I try to eat light and never order anything fried. The beets in the beet salad are roasted, as the menu states, but they are also marinated in vinegar, and it wasn't a sweet and sour vinaigrette, which I might have liked. I did finish this dish, but I was wishing that the beets didn't taste vinegary. read more

Facing the charming central square in the lakeside village of Hammondsport is the beautiful Park Inn, both an accommodation and restaurant serving farm-to-table New American meals. In 2018, it re-opened after a complete renovation and revamping. Park Inn offers five rooms on the second level, four of which are suites with sitting areas, each with unique layouts and interior design, much like a bed and breakfast. The rooms possess a charming rustic style of decor, with dark wood cabinets and accents paired with soothing neutral walls and furniture. Less obvious is how fully modernized the inn is, with strong wi-fi signals throughout, plenty of outlets, and contemporary glass showers with strong water pressure. The rooms are fully functional and spotlessly clean, but also atmospheric and cozy. The beds are outrageously plush, and make a convincing argument to sleep late. The rooms have plenty of amenities, including C.O. Bigelow bath products, and robe and slippers. Keys are accessible from a coded lockbox at the street level door, with one key for that door and one for the room, and can be dropped off in a letterbox by the door when checking out. The innkeeper, Marie, who comes on-site for part of each day, is warm and welcoming. On the street level of the building is the Park Inn restaurant. Because of the pandemic, it was only opened Thursday to Sunday in the summer/fall of 2020. There was seating in the handsome dining rooms indoors, tables spaced apart, and in the expansive street outside (the street was closed to car traffic both times I visited in July and September). The service was friendly and the menu, frequently changing and sourced from local farms, was mostly delicious and a standout in the region. Some of the best dishes had at two separate dinners were richly flavorful eggplant parmesan, housemade sausage, and tender, sweet roasted scallops. Plenty of local wines can be ordered by the bottle or glass to pair, as well as an excellent list of local beers. Park Inn is unquestionably a regional destination for both accommodation and dining. Such superior customer service and high quality rooms make for a great base from which to explore the Keuka and Seneca Lake wine and beer trails. The inn itself is centrally located in the village, right by most restaurants, shops, and a supermarket, and within a 10 minute stroll from the peaceful Keuka Lake waterfront. Street parking is abundant around the square. read more

We recently had dinner at Park Inn after a friend recommended we try it. The service was very slow, our server was good, but maybe they were short staffed . It took a while for our dinners to be served and I have to say they were very good. But surprising, there was no bread or a small dinner salad to accompany the dinner. And for the price, we thought at least one would be included. The restaurant was nice, and had a casually dressed clientele. read more

Great food and drinks. The wine selection was very ample with a wide variety of local wines.

Delicious food in a comfortable small town restaurant. We enjoyed dinner to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Highly recommended! read more

The food was amazing as was the service! We started with apps - warm Brie with rhubarb compote and crostini, deviled eggs with bacon and pickled ramps, and chicken liver mousse with crostini and toppings. Everyone loved their entrees - mine was perfectly cooked filet minion with roasted potatoes, asparagus, mushrooms and blue cheese fondue. The wine was some of the best of the Finger Lakes without a ridiculous markup. All in all, it was fantastic. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not accessible and one member of our party struggled with the tall steps which means we probably won't be back. Ironically there was a poster for a muscular dystrophy fundraiser in the window - that's the disease that caused the stair struggle. read more

The Park Inn is located in the cozy lakeside town of Hammondsport. It works in collaboration with Glen Scott Farm to provide farm fresh products when it can. We secured a reservation for 8:00pm upon calling them when the website listed a tables for 8:45pm or 9pm. Upon arrival we noticed quite a few tables vacant. This is a similar situation we had at another local restaurant. Anybody have a similar experience with Fingerlakes restaurants telling you their reservations are booked only to arrive to a bunch of empty tables? Maybe it's staffing? Cancellations? limited capacity? I'd like to know more about issue. But on to the restaurant.... Location is ideal, in the heart of the tiny town. And Decor is fitting, exposed beams, large bar counter, looked like a gas fireplace used in the colder months. Food ordered: Fried Cauliflower: corn meal coated, delicately fried pile of white cauliflower with a delicious house made remoulade sauce. Can convert any non cauliflower person into one. (ie: wife) Squash Blossoms: 3 crispy squash blossoms that burst ricotta when you take a fork to them. Sat on a bed of sautéed squash and shaved Parmesan cheese. Not a heavy dish, actually refreshing and satisfying. Shrimp and Scallops: both perfectly cooked and sat on top of a risotto which included vegetables (bell pepp/squash/tomato/corn). Don't be discouraged from receiving only 2 shrimp and 2 scallops, the risotto makes it up to be a quite filling dish. One of the best bites of the meal. Fish Cakes: 3 perfectly seared cakes. Extremely balanced flavor, paired with a bed of salad greens and farm fresh tomatoes. The sauce that laid below the cakes, was a mustard seed/Mayo/aioli combination (the cakes didn't even need they were just that good) made the dish even more incredibly than it already was. Beignets: Pillowy, light dusted with powdered sugar, served with a tangy not overly sweet raspberry sauce. Light dessert not oily or dense in anyway. *All desserts are house made as the menu indicated, there were 6 other to choose from which made it difficult but we were happy with our choice. If you ever find yourself within 30 minutes of this restaurant, make the drive. We did, 5 star reviews are tough but this place definitely is. Bonus, you can even stay next door at their residences. Enjoy! read more

Really really great spot! I've been coming here since I was a kid and even worked in the sister restaurant for years. The revamp/remodel is amazing - they've turned it from town bar to a cozy date spot that is still family friendly. Over the last 2 years, I've dined here, gotten take out, sat at the bar and sat outside A LOT. This year however was the best service I ever had the staff is so friendly, manager is kind and chatty and the bartenders take good care of you. Mark was my server for the last couple of times and he is just lovely. He's attentive and welcoming. My favorite dishes are always the bread salad (all of their salads are great, they switch them up seasonally), the Ploughman's board, burger, fish fry and salmon. Definitely don't miss if you're in town, you won't regret the visit! read more

Four of us dining at this lovely establishment on a cold snowy evening. What a pleasant surprise! We were seated near the fireplace which kept us toasty warm and provided ambience aplenty. We started with the baked Chaseholm Farm Camembert Crostini and White Bean Bruschetta. Fantastic! Such a great combination of wonderful flavors. Onward to Prosciutto wrapped cod, shrimp and bay scallop risotto and duck leg confit. Empty plates all around. Just delicious! Dessert was incredible with carrot cake and pineapple sorbet, chocolate ganache with vanilla ice cream and an apple cobbler. Heaven. My favorite all time cocktail is now the Arrival Thyme..wow. Bourbon, maple, thyme, lemon goodness. You have no idea. After serious collaborative chats with our fantastic waiter I "think" I can recreate this gem. Go, see for yourselves! You won't be disappointed. read more

Our family is a large group of 10. We enjoyed the appetizers and entrées; amazing food! The service was fantastic. There was not a single dissatisfied member of our group (and we are tough to please). Highly recommend read more

Ok nothing great. Stay home and cook or go to Olive Garden in a big town. Not worth the money and portions are small.

The Park Inn recently came highly recommended to me, so I booked a reservation for myself and my parents for tonight. When we arrived, the manager Jason seated us in the outdoor dining tent at a table right next to the plastic wall of zipped tent liners (I thought it was odd they were closed because the other sides of the tent were open and it was a hot, humid night). We waited more than 10 minutes to be greeted by a server and/or to get water, and by that point, we were all sweating and my mom started fanning herself with the menu. I went up to the host stand and asked Jason if we could please move to an empty table on the other side of the tent (which wasn't enclosed by big heavy sheets of plastic) and he seemed irritated by my request (maybe because he had to look up from the iPad with the blog blue plastic cover he holds to manage reservations?) Surprised by his reaction, I provided a rationale: "PLEASE my mom is very HOT and fanning herself with your menu". To this he suggested that it was no cooler on the other side of the tent (sans plastique). I again said "PLEASE" and he muttered "fine" and rapidly walked away from the host stand into the tent. I also went back into the tent, stopping at my parents table to happily let them know "WE CAN MOVE!!!!!" We quickly grabbed our menus and glasses and silverware rolls and headed to the obligatory table only to be informed by Jason "NO, you can't sit at THAT table" (the one I had asked about). What do you mean, I asked? He replied "THAT table is RESERVED and that SORRY, we could sit at another table" (in the middle of the tent, not near the tent opening/breeze) On a side note, it was very hard to hear him & his explanation of why we couldn't sit where we asked (and there were several empty tables in the tent) because he was kept picking up silverware and setting tables as we stood there, confused. When I suggested that I wasn't thrilled with the new seating arrangement, he replied "Well if you don't like it...." at which point I asked him if he wanted us to leave and he said "sorry" and stomped off. Ugh! Other than the very rude treatment by the manager Jason, our waitress was great and my cocktail was tasty! The risotto with shrimp and scallops was delicious, as was the deviled egg starter we shared. Unfortunately, the Bolognese and the Swordfish entrees my parents ordered were both mediocre and not worth the price tag. Also, the lack of fans in the tent and the abundance of flies and gnats buzzing around us throughout the meal (yuck!) didn't really create a great ambiance. Also, while we were signing the check, the "reserved" table that was off limits to us was rearranged to accommodate a party of 5 more than an hour and a half after we sat. I love Hammondsport and supporting local restaurants and wineries! Especially now, when restaurants are facing huge challenges due to Covid! But as someone who worked in restaurants/hospitality for years, I also know that treating people with respect, humility, and kindness is a way to earn loyal customers, a good reputation, and sustained business; hopefully, the Park Inn will figure this out too, but until then, we won't be back :( read more

This is the 3rd time where the "Host" has had a less than desirable attitude, definitely not who I would want meeting and greeting customers. Tried going to dinner and he said all tables were "full", when there were 5 empty tables outside u see the tent a few empty tables inside. Only 3 of us and didn't even bother to check to see if something could be done to accommodate. Will NOT be trying to go back, especially if the same guy is working, think is name is Jason. read more

Our whole experience was five star from start to finish. The host checked in our reservation and once I told him my name he immediately knew which table he had us at. So many times at other places lately they search for your name, then when they finally find it it's like brain surgery trying to figure out where they are going to accommodate the reservation you made! We were seated and Kate was our server. We knew the food would be good because Dan Eaton is the chef here, but Kate was excellent! She understood the term "silent service". There was just the right amount of checking on us, never intrusive, our water was never empty, and she is the first server in I can't tell you how long that cleared our silverware and replaced it. These are the details I always notice everywhere I go... because well, I can't help it. We always had everything we needed. All of the other servers seemed equally well- trained. The ones who brought our food brought it all at the same time and did not auction it off. They knew exactly who ordered what. What a breath of fresh air the service here was! Ok... now the food. We had the antipasto, tuna crostini, baked brie, and eacargot to start. Every plate was delicious and unique. The antipasto had some lovely roasted garlic...a very nice addition, the brie was sweet and savory, and the tuna with the green goddess had a delightful flavor profile completed with watercress. Three of us had salads; the summer salad and beet salad that we enjoyed. They were perfectly dressed. For the main courses we had the lamb, prosciutto-wrapped cod, Arctic char, and soft shell crab. Everything again beautifully presented and tasty. My char cooked perfectly! We decided on dessert because we knew everything was homemade and would be worth it. We had the lemon tart, sorbet (pineapple and coconut) and the beignets which I think were my favorite. The bathrooms were nice and clean and the decor perfect, not only for Hammondsport, but for my pilot fiancé who loves aviation. Thanks for a great evening, Park Inn! read more

Service was good. Food okay, but very small portions and high priced. Would not recommend

My husband and I had dinner here last weekend and the food was pretty good, but the terrible service kind of ruined it for us. The server's timing was way off - appetizers arrived before drinks, entrees arrived before silverware, and there was no space at all between appetizers and entrees. The worst part was that our server gave my husband a hard time about ordering a non-alcoholic drink! read more

At the restaurant, we experienced wonderful service and dinner was excellent! We stayed overnight in their Inn to a well appointed room with morning coffee and attention to every detail. Highly recommend this charming gem in downtown Hammondsport! read more

My husband is a Doctor and we escaped to the Finger Lakes for a much needed vacation through the Covid craziness. Alas we discovered the Park Inn and are staying here the next few nights. Our room is very cozy, exquisitely decorated, spacious, and more. We dined here tonight as well. Matt, our server, was very knowledgeable, courteous, attentive - and our dinner was all together wonderful. I had the scallops which were cooked to perfection served over a bed of the most divine risotto I have ever had the pleasure of eating mixed with corn, garlic scapes, pancetta and well, I don't know what else. It was simply heavenly. Husband had the BBQ mixed plate which I also sampled and was very delicious! I can't wait to come back here for our next FLX trip and am already planning our next excursion. Isn't it about time that you treated yourself? This is the place to do it locally. read more

I've been to this establishment many times, as a local- good food and good service most of the time. During the winter when business is slow, we have supported them and gave them business. It was my Moms birthday and so we decided to go to one of the few restaurants open in Hammondsport on a Tuesday. We try to go in at 6:30. We were barely greeted with a smile or hello by the waitress and manager, Jason standing at the ipad. We asked if they had a table for three- let me mention that the place only had about 4 tables eating and the rest were completely empty. He asked if we had a reservation and we said no. He then gave us a disgusted look and said sorry only 9:30 is available- we said "there's no one here, is there a staffing issue, we would understand?" and he replied "Nope. They're all reserved." He was never nice in his tone, explaining the reservation system they have or offering for us to maybe sit and have a drink at the bar or eat at the bar. The bar was empty so we asked if we could eat there and he said "well I guess but you only asked for a table." Then we sat and he gave us dirty looks to the point that we didn't feel comfortable eating there and celebrating my Mom's birthday. I see other reviews that mention a similar experience of his rudeness. I won't be going back there if I have to deal with poor customer service like that and as long as he's running the place. read more

Great food and great service. We also stayed in the Inn upstairs which was equally as wonderful. The owners have a great attention to detail and a quality, relaxed experience. read more

Really really delicious food. We started with the deviled eggs and focaccia which were both delicious. For my main I had a filet which was perfectly cooked over a delicious risotto. Really great wine and beer menu as well. The service was great and our waitress was very friendly! Would highly recommend. read more

Have stayed at the Park Inn twice now. Had very positive experiences both times. This is one of those I hate to tell you about it, because then you'll try it, and I won't be able to get a room reserved kind of places. Rooms are on top of the Park Inn Restaurant - which in itself is quite good for dinner. Building is old/historic - so there is a bit of creak to the stairs, and the lovely wooden floors do show some age - but everything is well cared for - clearly a lot of time and attention have gone into making the rooms comfortable, yet not sterile like a big chain hotel. Our room had a coffee maker, mini fridge, home made biscotti were a big hit. Room was very clean, well appointed. Bed was outstanding, we both slept extremely well. Shower was hot. Had extra coffee and tea in the hallway. Local area information was readily available. Inn is located right downtown, across from the...wait for it...park. Bottom line - you need a calm, centrally located, place to stay in Hammondsport NY, then this is well worth a look. And even if you don't stay - going for dinner is worth your time. read more

They have a decent amount of outdoor seating, although there was a 20 minute wait. I ordered a beer and the salmon. Their menu was one of the cheaper options in town ($20 -25). My salmon was flavorful and I also liked the bean salad. read more

We can't say enough about the wonderful meals and the people at The Park Inn !! We have dined here twice now, and every time, Jason makes us feel at home the moment we walk through the door. Even on the busiest of days, that personal welcome immediately prepares you for the dining experience to come. We enjoyed the recommendations and the attentiveness of Samantha and especially from Emily at the bar. We have several food allergies and intolerances (gluten free, low FODMAP), and yet the staff and the chef were extremely accommodating. Everyone works hard to make sure you have a top-notch dining experience, and their passion for their work really shows. The experience they bring to The Park Inn in Hammondsport from previous work in California, New York, and Toronto really lifts the restaurant to another level. Several months ago we dined with Katie, and she came over to say hi when she saw us there as well. Tonight we chose to sit at the bar, and it was comfortable, casual, and relaxing. The ambiance was perfect after a day of wine tasting. The restaurant was quite busy, yet the noise level was fine and other diners appeared to be enjoying conversations. We started with an amazing Parmesan custard with farm-to-table fresh vegetables. I enjoyed the grilled lamb and my wife had a tasty grilled salmon over a potato corn chowder. The quality of the food and its preparation was superb. The Park Inn has become our gold standard dining experience in the Finger Lakes. Even with the challenges of COVID and staffing, they rise above to provide diners with an experience unlike others. Thank you again for making our trip to the Finger Lakes memorable!! read more
