    We went on a busy night. The server was wonderful, but stretched thin between tables across the restaurant. Food came out very quick, well presented, and had lots of complexity and wonderfulness.

    What can I say that doesn't reflect the five star rating I always give to The Park Inn. That being said I'm not a vegan guy but last night I had the Honeynut Squash. In the dugout part of the squash canoe was crispy tofu, cashew salsa and apples. A very flavorful combination. Chefs David Tarr and Kevin Cornwall have done a wonderful job following in Dan Eaton's footsteps. My wife and I enjoy their creations so much that we dine there at least once a week. The rest of the staff also gets top marks too for their attention to detail. Thanks James and Conner. So if you are visiting Hammondsport be sure to book a dinner at The Park Inn. It's a dinning experience not to be missed.

    Great service. Friendly staff. My wife’s pork was overcooked. My ribeye was perfect. Would definitely recommend it.

    The service was a 5 star experience which we’ll remember for a very long time. The team who served us was very good and attentive to our needs. The only issue was the noise level hearing other customers conversations in a small dining space.
