    The second dinner was as magnificent as the first 4 weeks ago. The atmosphere, the staff (especially Dori), the wine, and the incredible food rivals any top restaurant in the Americas! A must!

    Had a great birthday brunch for our daughter here. It’s where she chose to eat for her birthday. If you haven’t enjoyed the wagyu beef burger at the Wellesley yet- you should! Delicious! The lemon cake w/ lemon curd was delightful- super moist. We’ll be back👍🎂

    Best meal we had in the area! What a charming delight the whole evening was. The cocktails, the clams, the pork shank, the salmon and the smoking tiramisu! Everything was outstanding. Very nice to see the chef/owner walking around checking in on everyone. She was a sweetheart. Karen the hostess and Hannah our waitress were exceptional as well. Don’t forget to check out the bar downstairs! Fun surprise!

    Beautiful hotel...the large porch is the bomb. Our food (brunch) was amazing and we recommend everyone go and experience! Adrienne is a doll and so is Karen (the hostess). Hard workers and it shows. We will be back to have dinner too! :)

    This is not going out to eat, Truly a culinary experience! The olive appetizer was one of the best I have ever had and the pork shank was done to perfection! The young lady that served us was amazing and all staff we interacted with made the experience top notch! Cannot wait to return! This is a must visit for your own culinary experience! Jim

    Arguably the best restaurant on the NY side of the 1000 Islands. Not a very high bar to hit, but these guys do a commendable job. Simply one of the most beautiful porches you could imagine having dinner on. Like something straight out of a movie. If the weather is nice, you’ll definitely want to request outdoor seating. The menu shoots for the stars and for the most part, the kitchen is able to deliver. Minor technical issues aside, the food is well presented, flavorful, and creative. The staff appears to be a combination of young, energetic college kids here for the Summer and some older, more experienced workers to provide some balance. Chaotic, but they make it work. The major knock? It’s expensive. Really expensive. But when you leave, you’ll only be thinking about how much you’ll want to come back next year when you’re back in town for vacation. For special occasions, it’s certainly worth the splurge. I will certainly be back.
