The Upstate Tavern

Been here multiple times and the food is always good and the service attentive, but not overbearing. Great and accommodating for dining as a couple, a family, or larger group of 10-12. The beef on weck is absolutely outstanding and highly recommended! Fish fry and meatloaf are also excellent choices. Solid selection of drinks available and the bar has a nice layout.

Great food and service! I visited twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. The wait staff was absolutely fantastic. Everyone was friendly and prompt. All dishes were delicious!! For dinner I enjoyed the New York Maple Glazed Salmon (description)Spice Rubbed Atlantic Salmon, Potato Corn Hash, Lemon I also ordered a side of the truffle fries, which were fantastic! For lunch, I ordered a burger, but I never took a picture.

My husband and I visited here twice during our end of December stay at Turning Stone. The end of our 1st night included a stop for this phenomenonal Chocolate Toffee Brownie Sundae. I am a huge dessert person, and this was everything I hoped for and more. Definitely big enough for 2 to share. The following day, we came back for lunch. I ordered the corn chowder to start. Absolutely delicious! Thick and creamy, great consistency. Hubby ordered the Tavern Signature Burger, and I got the Tavern Everything Melt. We shared both sandwiches plus the fries (1 regular and 1 truffle). He absolutely loved the whiskey glaze on the burger, and I thought the Melt was amazing. Truly great food that was absolutely worth the money. We visited literally right after the Christmas holiday, and it seemed like they were short-staffed. Kudos to the staff for keeping everything running smoothly. Front of house was moving quickly to attend to the tables, back of house was doing all they could to put food out without losing quality, and the manager took off his suit jacket to help clean and set tables. Obviously, great leadership and hard-working employees. Thank you for 2 great experiences. We will be back on our next stay!

I recently dined at The Upstate Tavern and I must say, the food was delicious. However, the customer service left much to be desired. Our waitress struggled to explain the menu, and she was unhelpful with our questions. When a windstorm caused a power outage, we were left in the dark with no communication from the staff. Despite the circumstances, no one, including the manager or our waitress, came to update us. I had to repeatedly call our waitress over, only to be ignored as she walked away. While the food was enjoyable, the lackluster service overshadowed the experience.

I love this restaurant , and usually eat here when I’m in the area visiting my parents. I like the wide menu selection and the rotating selection of seasonal draft beers. They usually have pretty good daily specials to mix up the menu also. My go to choices - hot spinach dip , Cobb salad, and chicken Rochester. Portions are large !
