The Waterfront Bistro - Steuben County

If you haven’t been before or haven’t been in a while, give it a chance (or another chance). The food is excellent and my husband says it’s the best filet in the county, and trust me he had looked. There is no wrong choice on the menu. Go. Try. Enjoy.

On multiple occasions this restaurant has had the rudest staff I’ve ever interacted with. Im officially done offering my business. After making a reservation for Father’s Day lunch, I called to ask if we may sit outside and was told outside is a first-come first-serve basis. When we arrived, there was only 2 other parties in the restaurant. Many seats were available outside. We asked if we could please cancel the reservation to sit outside instead. We were very rudely and angrily told no, and that they had just explained this to me on the phone. Being told no is completely fine, but treating your customers like a disgusting disease isn’t. I feel bad that the staff is clearly so unhappy with their lives that they have to consistently treat patrons so poorly.

My favorite local place to eat seafood while looking at the lake.

Small restaurant. We waited about 45 mins before our order was taken. About 2 hours til we received our food. Some of the food was good. The crab cakes were really greasy and over priced. The male server was overwhelmed or something. He was a bit erratic, short and snippy. His frantic energy made us uncomfortable. We ended up with a young female server that did a wonderful job. Great view if you sit outside.

All three of us ended up sharing a piece of something that the other didn't have. Everything was delicious: nothing was over or under cooked.
