I was lucky to find Rosie's Oriskany Diner on Yelp, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked…read morein, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I sat at the counter, and within seconds a waitress greeted me, took my drink order, and handed me a menu. After placing my order, the food arrived quickly and exactly as requested. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted absolutely delicious. It's clear that they take pride in both their food and their service. What really stood out to me was the sense of community. This is a family-owned business, and while I was there on a busy Sunday morning, Rosie actually stepped out of the kitchen to sit down with local students who were interviewing her. Despite how busy she was, she took the time to engage with them and give back to the community. That kind of personal touch is something you don't see everywhere. Rosie's Oriskany Diner is much more than just another diner. It's a place where great food, outstanding service, and community values come together. My experience was so good that I returned the very next day! I highly recommend Rosie's Oriskany Diner to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a welcoming atmosphere.

There was some sort of drama between the two waitresses, who clearly didn't like each other. We had the less capable of the two as our server; she spent her time holding court at the "liar's table" so it was a challenge to get our food out completely or get timely coffee refills.

We sat ourselves per the signs directions. Our server had pep, personality & a quick sense of humor... I did not catch her name. Food coming out was a bit slow. Have patience. I was served quite possibly the fluffiest, lightest, tastiest FRESH & HOT vegetarian omelet ( no peppers sub onions ) a perfectly cooked hardy omelet. The cheese was a "3 cheese blend". The edges of this omelet were perfectly "crisped " cheeses. I highly recommend stoping by for an enjoyable omelet experience. Also, while this omelet was slow in delivery, the care, pride & love taken to create this were more then apparent, when this eye popping omelet was STILL steaming hot 10 minutes into dining in it. I eat slowly as well. Be PATIENT, take a look around the staff in hustling. Well worth the wait!! I would drive up here from Ithaca for a TRULY excellent breakfast! Worth the wait. Great waitstaff. Hustling ASS! You could hear the noises of a BUSY kitchen. Having been in the BOH for 30 years & an expieranced vendor you know those noises. HIGHLY reccommed. DO NOT BE IN A RUSH , (we ate on a Sunday around 11:30 AM we were sat. Everything is cooked to order, Awesome vegetarian options! Just remember ITS THE WEEKEND. R e l a x! And enjoy a great breakfast. The french toast special looked awesome! As did the pancake special! EAT HERE.

Lucky Dog Bistro in Clinton is a welcome addition to the local dining scene, much less stuffy than…read moretheir neighbors. The owner-operator is warm, engaging, and genuinely interested in guest feedback, which creates a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. One of the highlights was the wine list. While small, it is thoughtfully curated, offering an interesting and worldly selection. The menu is eclectic, featuring a mix of Italian-inspired dishes alongside American favorites. While the variety is appealing, the restaurant may benefit from further refining its culinary identity as it continues to evolve. During our visit, we ordered the Baked Cavatelli, Chicken Caprese, and Osso Buco. Of the dishes we sampled, the Chicken Caprese was the standout, with excellent flavor, balance, and execution. The décor is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, creating an inviting and comfortable setting. Service was attentive throughout the meal. Our server was relatively new and still developing confidence with wine service, but was enthusiastic, eager to please, and genuinely focused on providing a positive experience. Overall, the food shows a great deal of promise. There are a few areas that could benefit from further refinement, but this feels very much like a restaurant on the rise. The concept is strong, the location is excellent, and most importantly, the passion and commitment behind the business are evident.

There was a spiral staircase that leads to a few more additional seatings. It looks like they get more to go orders. You order at the register and your name gets called. I ordered the "Ham & Fig" and coffee (they used Utica Coffee Company). The sandwich was delicious, I love the sweet and savory aspect (I love fig jam). It was accompanied by kettle chips, the size of the sandwich was filling. My friends had ordered a : "Chipotle", "Club", "Caprese" and "Veggie Hummus". It seems like everyone enjoyed their sandwich since all plates were cleared lol. The sandwiches were simple but delicious and service was friendly.
