    Well, it's a lodge - like a motel type room that we stayed in. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The best part was the restaurant on site and the fact that it is a two minute walk to the south entrance of Watkins Glen.

    This review is based on the brewery and customer service. I have not tried the food or lodging yet. The restaurant was closed they open for breakfast and dinner, but in between you are able to buy beer And sit out on the deck or inside. The deck wraps around so you can choose sun or shade. Picnic tables or Adirondack chairs there is a lot of seating. The woman behind the desk was super friendly and turned the lights in for me so I could get a good look at the bar area. Super cool decor, clean, nicely laid out , inviting, and fun! I tried the peach beer because it was a super hot day and I had just hiked Watkins Glen. The beer was tasty. They have other choices from ipa to amber. I really like this place and am happy to support my local NY brewery. Cheers

    Invited by friends to dinner here. Rustic ambiance and friendly service. Reasonable prices and good food. Record low price for makers mark on the rocks at $6.25! Large portions. Salad bar comes with entrees and was fresh with homemade dressings. Scallops were very good. Fried chicken was a half chicken with green beans. Chicken was overly salty and the dark pieces were overcooked and dry. The breast was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender. Great lively bar area.

    Who wants to cook when camping? We always see many people and yet we had never eaten here until this year! Inside was a huge lodge great room that was plenty bright. The bar had many different themes and interesting detail. They give you $2 bills as change, that was different. The restaurant food was very good! Salad bar with everything. The helper doing the salad bar did a great job keeping it stocked! Our waitress was efficient and pleasant. Would definitely go again.

    Stopped by to see what the locals do, and to get a steak since there are some good Yelp reviews talkin bout steak. Hubby was not disappointed and loved his medium rare steak. I loved Christy's cosmos and my burger. We sat in the bar area, watched the Yankees lose, talked to the locals and had a good night. Mary's service was right on but we didn't have room for the yogurt pie- next time I guess. Sorry no pics of the food but got this bear in the rafters...

    Good solid meal, steak, potatos, veggies, salad bar, and the brownie sundae was amazing.

    We called 3812 Bistro on an evening to make a reservation. The host mentioned they may be full at…read morethe main seating area, hence confirmed a spot at the covered patio. This is a restaurant connected to Lakeside resort and the residents dine here. We were not staying at the resort. When we arrived, we were seated promptly. We had an awesome view facing the Seneca lake and Hector falls. From our seats, we saw the rains come in. We had light jackets and were able to have an awesome dinner. For the dinner, we had scallops for appetitizer, seared salmon, fish tacos and chicken parmesan. For dessert, we had bread pudding and cheesecake. All delicious and cooked to perfection. They have a puppy called Rocky who visits each table! Well mannered puppy!

    Nice place for some beer and burgers with a view. We were lucky enough to snag a spot outside…read more Ambience is kind of a rustic ski lodge inside. There's a friendly dog off leash who seems to be the house pet, but he definitely comes looking for food so be on the lookout. Service is friendly and helpful. We started out with some beer and ordered a pint of the two goats, red ale and a flight with the Seneca Lodge, peach blonde, war horse, and two of the red ales because they were out of the last one. Actually really enjoyed all of them. I normally go for darker beers, but the peach blonde was refreshing and would be perfect for summer. To start we ordered the spinach artichoke dip, which was OK but needed something crispy then pita. A toasted crostini was definitely called for. For entrées, we ordered two bistro burgers, which were both cooked nicely and complimented our beer nicely. Probably could've used a little more tomato jam, but we enjoyed our meal and the reasonable prices.

    We'd received so many recommendations for graft during our long weekend in Watkins Glen. We came in…read moreright at opening (4pm) because we knew it fills up fast and they don't accept reservations. We loved from their website that Graft sources local and keeps their menu seasonal. Everything was VERY good, but I'm not sure that it matches the immense hype. Maybe we didn't order the right things. I was only able to snap a photo of the squash which was actually my favorite part of the meal. I got the half chicken with beans and rice, and my partner got the flank steak. The chicken was quite salty but very good. The steak was cooked well and very flavorful, though the portion was small and there was nothing about it that particularly stood out. Again, a solid meal and a super cute atmosphere and we will always support restaurants which feature local/seasonal menus, but this one fell a bit flat.

    We visited Graft on a recent trip and oh man, it was some incredible dining. I can honestly say the…read moreduck entree I had with cherries was one of the top five things I've ever eaten. Just excellent. Plenty of the local great wines to choose from (though I have to wonder if they might have a deal with one of the wineries because I did feel like we were being pitched to multiple times to try one of the fancier expensive reds and found that kind of unusual). It's not a cheap dinner, but it is worth it. This really is far and away the best spot in Watkins Glen and they're raising the bar for everyone! Next time we're back in the area, we'll be happy to visit again.
