Great spot for lunch along the wine trail. Go here on a nice sunny day and sit outside...really the only way to experience it. Excellent patio w/ well tended gardens, views of the lake and plenty of room to enjoy the lawn (kids, pets...) The wines here are excellent as well. More

We were a group of 10 including 3 children for a birthday lunch. Food was fabulous and I would love to have recipe for the spicy sugary nuts from the cheese board More

We stopped in for lunch. We had the mac and cheese, the bacon, egg, lettuce, and tomato sandwich with fries. Everything tasted great. The waiter kept us entertained. We overhead him telling a customer that the ciabatta bread tasted "bready", and that he thought all the desserts tasted delicious in their own way. More

We went here with another couple on the "Southern Style" night. We got a couple appetizers and we all had entrees. Everything was fantastic. The menu is very limited, but I think anyone could find something that would please them.. Not to mention, the drink menu was fabulous. They had some really interesting cocktails that were delicious. The wine list... More

We were staying down the road at the Silver Strand B&B which I recomend and the same for this inovative bistro. The food was very good as was the Sheldrake wines that they serve exclusively. Prices I would say are moderate and the service was good. The only complaint was the air conditioner needs some work. I still would go... More

We had lunch at Simply Red on Sunday, they were not too busy and we had great experience there. Service was great, food was tasty, nice setting also. The menu was creative - not just wings and burgers like in most places (this is why we chose to go there on the first place). Timing, food quality was just the... More

After wine tasting we were ready for a relaxing delicious meal and we were not disappointed. We chose to sit inside and take advantage of the a/c but our view of the small garden made us feel as though we were still outdoors. I had the eggplant, spinach, olive pizza on flatbread which was some of the best pizza I've... More

The music was so loud, we barely could hear the waitress, and the music got louder. So loud we requested our table be placed out of the dining room, and into the hallway. What we thought would be a pleasant dining experience turned out to be a disaster. We were not impressed with the food. We ordered crispy honey chicken.... More

My husband and I had eaten at Simply Red 4 or 5 times previous to this visit and always had a good experience. This last visit was one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had anywhere. After placing our order one hour had passed by and no food had arrived. We "flagged" down our server who went to... More

There is not a more beautiful place to dine in the Finger Lakes. The patio has a spectacular view of the lake and Tusan-style gardens, including fields of sunflowers that transported me to Italy... the food is creatively conceived and well-prepared. Our server, Haley, was professional, personable and attentive... generous portions arrived promptly (we had leftovers). It was great to... More
