Restaurants in Keuka Lake, New York

Restaurants in Keuka Lake, New York
According to Native American legend, the Finger Lakes were created by God's handprint blessing the land. The name Keuka is Iroquois for "canoe-landing" and in the last hundred years, outdoor activities have blossomed here. The picturesque lake is perfect for fishing, swimming and boating; golf courses abound; and the former trail to the Erie Canal has been reclaimed by hikers. As the sun sets, head to one of the many local restaurants for some locally produced wine and a good meal in view of the lake.

Village Tavern Restaurant

Located just two blocks from the lake, the Village Tavern is an old-world establishment that specializes in local wine pairings. One of the few area restaurants open year-round, the Tavern has not changed much in the last 10 years, with warm, homey decor and hearty, All-American fare. The pride of the restaurant is the seafood chowder, made fresh daily, and the roast prime rib, a delectable 10-oz. cut of premium beef that is only served Friday and Saturday. The bar specialties include not only the best in regional wine and beer, but 17 martini varieties.

Bully Hill Restaurant

Part of the Bully Hill Vineyard, the restaurant sits amidst the lush grapevines and in full view of the sparkling lake. Guests can choose to be seated outside, on the more casual patio, or in the copper-toned Mediterranean interior dining room. Given its location, Bully Hills offers the unique distinction of offering a guided vineyard tour while you wait for seating. The menu is an eclectic mix of tapas, mouth-watering sandwiches and authentic, smokehouse barbecue. Reflecting the restaurant's individual style, the center-cut Filet Mignon is served with onion rings, and the butternut squash ravioli is prepared with cider from local apples and seasonal vegetables.
