Best Brunch Restaurants in New Hartford

I would say that Mercato is the best restaurant in Canton. The food was outstanding— my table ordered the charred octopus, Brussels & burrata, salmon entree, NY strip steak entree, and peanut butter brownie. All of these menu items were delicious and I would highly recommend them! The atmosphere is very nice too. I can’t wait to go back.

The tavern is THE perfect spot with a beautiful bar and awesome scenery if you're seated at a high-top. Their burgers are primo and the wine selection is outstanding. The atmosphere creates a vive that keeps you coming back for more...

Great menu. Went on a Tuesday but place has nice ambiance and we enjoyed our first visit there. Will go back soon.

Had 1 pm reservations for a Friday lunch and were seated promptly. Dining room was full which was a sign of its popularity. The dining room was nicely decorated and the table settings and tablecloths were a quality touch. Nathan, our server was exceedingly polite and welcoming: a professional in all respects. We ordered the Chicken pot pie. I noticed that no side salad was available on the menu and asked Nathan if one were available. He said it wasn’t a problem at all and the side salads provided were perfect. The pot pie was served in a a tall, cup-like dish, sitting in a lower, wider dish, topped with a puff-pastry biscuit on top. We actually weren’t sure how to eat it and Nathan explained we should remove the pastry, pour the pot pie into the larger dish, and put the pastry on top. The instructions were very helpful and given in such a way as to not embarrass us, much to Nathan’s credit. The pot pie was delicious with generously-sized portions of white meat. We ordered a side of breads, a small basket with a variety of rolls. All were freshly made and tasty. We finished with apple pie a la mode. The pie was also freshly-made and delicious, with a fluffy crust totally different than mass-produced pies. Red Lion is definitely worth the visit: both the food and staff are exceptional and the Inn is just full of character. Make sure you make reservations!

Tasty tuna tartare and clam chowder in a lovely setting. Reliably good food and service.
