There’s nothing like golden hour on the lake - especially with a drink in hand. Main Deck's Sunset Sessions feature 2-for-1 cocktails at the bar 3p - 6p Wednesday through Friday, set against panoramic Keuka Lake views. Unwind to the sound of live music every Friday as the sun dips low and the vibe shifts into something special.

Staff was helpful but needed more training for table service responsiveness. Food was uneven. Chicken was bland and overcooked so I asked for chili sauce which helped. Ceviche dish creative and delicious. Zucchini excellent but ricotta dish sloppy and hard to eat and bread soaked in butter. Very good beer selection. Nice view of lake.

We enjoyed our lunch very much! Our server was a hostess, server, and bartender. She did a great job.

The food and drinks were quite good and while they were at a higher price point they seemed a good value for the money. Service was pretty good but we sat a long time before our server knew we were there and they were clearly covering a large area and didn't stop by too often. Staff were all very friendly but on a busy night it seemed like they needed additional staff.

The building and view are stunning. Wait staff was friendly and kind. The wine selection is full of local, good choices. The food was absolutely flavorless. I don’t think either of four dishes were seasoned at all and for the price it was extremely disappointing.

While the restaurant seemed quite full, and we were warmed about a shortage of servers, we received quick and efficient service and excellent food. Highly recommended.

We went for a Mother’s Day Brunch and the food options was extremely disappointing. Everything was cold. Main dishes were always empty and the meat was overdone. Absolutely do not recommend due to quality of food and value is poor. The location is great and has real nice views.

The food for the Mother’s Day brunch was awful. The English muffin for eggs Benedict was tough and hard the chew. The pastry was hit or miss. The beef served at the carving table was borderline blue. At no time during service was coffee ever offered. We really enjoyed Mother’s Day’s here last year and am very sorry to see such a decline.

Surprised that a brunch did not include juices or coffee - they cost extra. Really? The food selection was great, but the eggs Benedict was dry, and no Hollandaise sauce. I thought scrambled eggs were a staple of a brunch, but there were none. The service seemed a little disjointed, but everyone was extremely pleasant and accommodating.
