Us with our dinners!
Bernadette M.

The food was great and the service was great too! I had the surf and turf and my husband had the filet. The seafood chowder was excellent! The Apple Carmel cheesecake was delicious, and light for cheesecake, the Carmel added a nice salty to the sweetness of this dessert. We had a great dining experience and will return!

The entrance
Claudia C.

It was a weekday and lunchtime. After several winery tastings, we were a bit road weary and ready for a good lunch. This was the first place we saw, and it looked so inviting with a gorgeous view of Senaca Lake. This restaurant was on the lower level with units that have lodging, a great idea! We were seated promptly at a table with a lake view at our request. They also offer outside open air seating on the deck overlooking the same view. Then the wait began, too long for a simple drink order, it was close to 10 minutes. Our server arrived with another young lady in training. We ordered Veraison's burger, well done-it comes with pepper jack cheese. The only substitute was white American, so that was it. The serving came with in-house potato chips, which was a nice touch. This was enjoyed and filling. I ordered the French Onion Soup, they offer a cup or a bowl. Being hungry, I chose the bowl. Generally speaking, this is my favorite soup. The soup arrived in a large bowl, no cheese on top (audible sigh), only a beef broth with cooked onions and a slice of cheese crusted bread on the side and fried frizzled onions. I might add it was a scant serving of soup. The soup was lukewarm, not hot, I can see that there is way too much surface area, causing a drop in temperature from kitchen to table. Any delay would not help. It was extremely salty, so much so it blocked the flavor of the beef broth. Right there I should have sent it back, but being very hungry, I ate it and thought about what just happened. The server came by, and I told her about the saltiness. She said some of the customers had the same comment. I coulda, woulda, shoulda ordered something else, but really dislike the idea of eating a meal when the rest of the others are done. Service was slow. on their behalf, they did have a large group on the deck. A military discount is offered, but let them know before ringjng up the check, they can do nothing after.

Lobster tail and filet
Nicole A.

If this was solely based on our service I would give a 5/5, our waiter was fantastic! I only wish the food matched the service. We did the prefixed Valentine's Day menu. Which included a lobster tail and filet. We started with the mushroom soup which was cold and under seasoned, desperately needed salt. We ordered bread for the table as well. The fact they they don't give you bread on their own is crazy to me. The lobster was over cooked on my plate and the filet had a weird fishy tasty that even the lobster didn't have. The dessert was good but not what we were expecting. Overall, not somewhere we would go again.

If you buy wine at the adjacent beverage store, there is no corkage fee! We brought a local…read moresparkling wine and loved it! The food here is really good! I highly recommend starting with the cheese plate. We only chose to do the single but the star is all the things that accompany it! For $12 a great value! For our meals, Schweety had the burger with a side salad and i had the Crispy Chicken entree. He really liked his! The salad portion of my meal was excellent, I would have preferred the chicken to be a little less crispy as it took away from the flavor of the chicken. Justin was a great server and gave some recommendation for our explorations in the area

We came in without a reservation, but it was early (5:30) so they offered us bar seating, communal…read moreseating at a long table or a high top at the bar. We sat at the communal table. No one else sat at the communal talk with us. We enjoyed being able to see into the kitchen at this table. We ordered the calamari, a burger and a crab cake sandwich. Delicious! The burger was perfect. The crab cake was good, but not in my top 5 crab cakes I've ever eaten. The calamari was yummy. The service was impeccable. Would have tried a dessert, but the servings were so ample, there was no room. My husband got the tap and spirit duo and he liked the cider so much he got another cider. I liked that the noise level was not too loud. You can have a normal conversation. Ambiance is really wonderful. Glad we stopped in.

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.
