Food Scene
Our recommendations center on those spots which are unique to the area and focus on farm to table offerings.
Fantastic ambience, deck with fabulous view, great staff, locally grown and raised foods- just a great spot. Try the cornbread! Caveats: several guests have been disappointed in the risotto, and the catfish, which is their logo, is not only farmed, but , sad to say, is imported from Asia.

Graft wine + cider bar
204 N Franklin StIn Watkins Glen and I've heard the food is fantastic.
We love this place; it's a cidery AND an eatery. Menu is limited, but absolutely hyper local and delicious, heavy on the meat, cheese and bread, but also serve delicious salads, beans, and soups. The ciders are very finely crafted and also delicious, almost like champagne. The place itself is wonderful as a venue, beautifully done, and there is music on Friday nights, and u-pick fruits in season. What more could anyone ask?!
