I was on vacation in Waktins Glen, and didn’t have any restaurant recommendations. I looked on open table and the reviews were good, so I figured we would try it. It’s a small, quirky place that is probably a good restaurant to go to in the summer, because it overlooks Seneca Lake. The inside is nothing fancy. The server was nice and friendly. The food was good. I would recommend it

Chicken Parm sandwich and steak panini were wonderful. Unfortunately our steak fries were cold. We loved the bombshell cider offerings. We’ll be back!

This restaurant was highly recommended. Unfortunately, it was a bad night. They were slammed, but totally short staffed as there was no bartender and a number of staff were no shows. We had to wait one hour for our food to arrive. When it did, it was good, but by that time, we were fed up. Other patrons waited even longer. If waitress had told us there was a problem when we ordered, we would have understood. But she didn't. Only when we paid our check was there a half-hearted apology. Not the experience we had expected.

Hi Claire, When we have employees that don't show, it impacts everyone, especially the guest, for which we sincerely apologize. We thought we had tried to set the expectation that we were running behind but did not adequately do so. We apologize again for the unpleasant experience and hope you'll give us another try in the future. Sincerely, Melinda
