1. The Boatyard Grill
Offers stunning views of Cayuga Lake

Stepping into The Boatyard Grill, I was warmly welcomed, albeit a tad earlier than the bustling dinner rush commenced. Once seated by a gracious manager who swiftly attended to rectify a slight hostess mishap, the attentive service from a friendly waitress set a positive tone for the evening. As our group gathered to enjoy the evening, we were taken aback by the establishment's popularity, especially evident on weekends. With a no-reservation policy in place, the option to phone ahead and join the waitlist provides a glimpse into the eatery's high demand. Despite the minor wait, the vibrant atmosphere and tantalizing menu offerings at The Boatyard Grill made the experience well worth it, leaving us eager to return for more unforgettable dining moments.

6. Sushi Osaka
Fresh ingredients, cozy atmosphere, attentive service

Despite the varied menu, some dishes fall short of traditional Japanese standards. The Sake Don lacked the authentic flair seen in Japan, missing the essential sauce to complement the salmon atop the rice. However, patrons praise their flavorful miso soup and bubble tea, even if the sushi rolls can sometimes be slightly dry and unimpressive. Overall, while the experience may lack in some areas, Sushi Osaka remains worth a visit for those intrigued by their fusion approach to Asian cuisine.
