Creamy, flavorful, and a ton of lobster! The oil drizzle was the perfect addition. My bride had the filet and I had the ribeye. Perfectly cooked. The cowboy butter added a nice depth. Added the truffle mushrooms as a delicious complement. Perfectly cooked and not chewy. Much more to try, and they said they were going to introduce their fall menu next week. Of course we'll be back! A perfect celebration of 39 years of marriage and discovering new foods!

On a whim (and seeing they were booked up that evening) called ahead to ask how the wait was, and were told they were pretty full but had a few bar tables open if we can be there in ten minutes or so. We hustled over there and they promptly sat us. But not only did they seat us, the hostess that spoke with us had popped a reserved tag onto a table after we called- very thoughtful and on top of things considering we didn't ask for that! Server was incredibly helpful with recommendations and extremely personable. Other patrons were also so friendly and it made the entire visit so much more pleasant. Cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu. Food was well made, with familiar favorites turned up a few notches, as well as some beautifully thought out dishes that you would never have expected.

Then we left and went across the street to a much more hospitable spot where we were treated nicely and stayed for drinks and food. I don't think I will give this place another try unless I were very desperate.

It is basement level and just a black unmarked door opens to the staircase leading down, that has clear signage. It definitely is like stepping back in time and there's no Wi-Fi service so guests are enjoying the live music or socializing! We ordered pretty quickly at the bar, we were not offered menus so I'm not sure what their signature cocktails are. Ordered a martini requested fruity, I believe it was raspberry not sure and a dark red for my friend. We sat in some cozy velvet purple chairs in the lounge area enjoying live Jazz music. My friend recalls this was a downstairs dining area for Burger King in the 80's-early 90's. The bar and Bath Room could be a bit tidier, but otherwise fun retro vibe. There is an historical piston machine on display that was used to run the building's original elevator utilizing steam! And now serves as decor and remanence of past decades.

From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in a trendy, upscale-casual atmosphere beautifully inspired by Frida Kahlo. We kicked things off with the Triple Dipper for the table--a giant basket of warm, fresh tortilla chips served with salsa roja, guacamole, and queso, with the guacamole and queso being absolute standouts. For my main, I ordered the Ensalada Verde and a slightly citrusy kale salad tossed with seasoned tortilla strips and extra pepitas. It was remarkably well-balanced, perfectly dressed, very tasty, and visually lovely, too! Thr service and atmosphere truly made the entire evening. Our server was friendly and attentive, effortlessly accommodating our request to split the bill three ways without missing a beat. And, even with the bustling atmosphere and the incredible amount of vibrant, intricate decor packed into the space, the restaurant was remarkably clean and well-maintained. It is always impressive to see a spot that has been open for a while keep up such pristine standards. We wrapped up our meal by sharing an order of churros--six hot, chewy sticks served with a spicy chocolate dipping sauce and whipped cream. The chocolate had a serious, wonderful kick to it, and the whipped cream was a lifesaver for balancing out the spice for those of us who love more heat than we can actually handle. Whether you're dropping in for one of their many margaritas or a scorpion bowl or enjoying a full, three-course meal, I highly recommend eating here while visiting Skaneateles!

Service - 4/5 - great recs, friendly. Ambiance - 3/5 - nicer downstairs. Overall - 4/5 - the spot to go to for Mexican in Skaneateles. Have had better Mexican before but the food us tasty as hell and the portions will leave you stuffed. My girlfriend couldn't even order an entree after appetizers lol. A ton of tequila options. Definitely order the Birria Pizza, but beware of its size. Service was great, Devin was very sweet and gave great recommendations. We did not feel rushed at all. Inside is fine, nothing really crazy. Great place and one of the Skaneateles staples. Best Dish - Birria Pizza, Lalo Tequila Would Return - Absolutely

This was my first time here along with my sister in law's. We came to celebrate her birthday, and…read moreso happy we've picked it. The atmosphere was relaxing with each level and their own vibes. We checked out the coffee lounge first and got espresso martini and chatted. The decor was a homey feel and I can see myself coming back meeting up with friends for coffee and catching up. Then we headed to the speakeasy and had the seasonal cocktails and just ordered salads and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. The salads and fries were simple and I like my "girl dinner" lol. I was told to come back for their brunch so that's on the list. The atmosphere and vibes were cozy, a great place to unwind and catch up or like us celebrate a special occasion. Both service in the coffee lounge and speakeasy were welcoming. I see that they host tons of events so I'll definitely have to check those out. Also can't wait to check out the rooftop lounge once they warmer weather returns. They are utilizing the space with bubble tents with reservations, so that's a fun idea. A cute and fun spot on Tipp hill to definitely check out.

Drinks and food was being prepared and served in the core lounge instead and it was a mess to say the least. It took 30-40 minutes for our food to come out and when the Brie board first came out of the kitchen it was sat on the counter for another 10 minutes, leaving the Brie to have a film over the top and was no longer soft. The flatbread was a disappointment, there was no sauce on the pizza and it was just way too bland for the price.... The service was extremely slow with 3 people working and all the customers in the lounge seemed to be sitting around in the same situation that I was in. Won't be coming back...

There was nobody in there but us, and it was very quiet which was different since we usually go on weekends. It was interesting, just didn't know that was the vibe on weekdays. The bartender helped us immediately and we got out drink quickly. Now, my complaint is the price. This small cheese board was $25, it doesn't look as small in the pictures, but I promise the board was TINY. A quarter of a baguette, prepackaged olives, a few bites of cheese each? NOT worth the money. If I come back, I will not be getting any food that's for sure..::

We ordered a breakfast pizza and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a jalapeño biscuit, which came with potatoes. The pizza and sandwich were both great. My only knock was the potatoes. I expect some crisp, charred edges, but these were mostly burnt. We also ordered a flight of seasonal mimosas. I couldn't tell you which was which, but I really enjoyed them, especially with the view from our seats. My only regret is not discovering Crazy Daisies sooner. can only imagine how pretty it is in the summer. After eating, we picked out some flowers and pumpkins. They had a very nice selection, and I thought everything was reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back. If you're looking for a spot that's nice but lowkey, with good food, drinks, and a beautiful setting, this is it.

I've also had their cowboy burger before and enjoyed it. They have gluten free pizza and gluten free buns too. This time I had a lime, basil, honey, ginger mocktail. It tasted like lime only. I was not impressed. It was like eating a sour candy. Not sweet and the other flavors were lost to the lime. My friend had the elderberry chamomile drink and her drink was lime forward and disappointing also. I've had cocktail flights and loved them. This time was a miss. Their flowers are beautiful and they have fun plants and hanging baskets that you don't see often. Will come back!!

Huge disappointment from a 7+ year loyal customer…read more I feel terrible putting this review out there because I have a lot of respect for the restaurant owner, but this is the only way to get my message across after bringing it to the staff's attention and having them not seem to care. My family and friends recently visited the Skaneateles location expecting the great meal we're used to, but the food quality and preparation were deeply disappointing. Coming from an Italian family, quality matters to us. The dipping olive oil was a bright "antifreeze" green with horrendous flavor--it's a shame to use such low-grade product when high-quality oils are available. The pear and gorgonzola pizza was soggy and completely bland. To make matters worse, the shrimp pasta was so excessively greasy and oily that it actually made my daughter feel sick. Balancing oil and flavor is basic cooking, and this fell far short. The Skaneateles location has a great ambiance, though the staff could use some work. We will stick to the Auburn location from now on, as the food quality and service there are far superior. I hope ownership reads this and makes the necessary corrections.
