The Decoy

Liz is so attentive and caring. Chicken parm is really a delight. Always done very well. Great bartender and just a nice family atmosphere. You really can’t go wrong here. Salad bar is tiny but perfect and very fresh.

Very family friendly establishment. For us, portions huge. Very fresh salad bar. Service most attentive (in the exact right way, courteous and personable — thanks very much Chris. My husband had the rib eye and I had filet mignon Au poivre — perfection as I don’t do dairy just being encrusted with crushed pepper corns it was was delicious. We had large portions of fresh vegetables cooked perfectly alongside. I would have loved to have had one of the dry local red wines but ended up with Yellow Tail. However my husband really enjoyed the Green Trail Ale.

Came here after a long day of wine tasting. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and they had an extensive menu.
We got the prime rib special which wasn’t really a special because it was the same price as the daily listing in the menu. But it was a full portion, cooked to order and served with au jus. It included broccoli and a side.
The service was a little slow but we weren’t in a hurry. Overall a nice local place to have a decent meal after a long day on the wine trail.

Decoy has a great family atmosphere. The staff is friendly, welcoming and decidedly local. My wife had the chicken parm and said it was good. I had the seafood alfredo which was loaded with shrimp, scallops and crab meat but a bit heavy. Both came with vegetables that looked over cooked and mde you thankful that the portions of the main courses where huge which negated the need to eat the veggies. Overall a good find for casual dining.

I don’t know our server’s name, but she was awesome! We were the only people in the place, I think because there had been a huge storm and no one was coming out for dinner. Our server was really great and efficient and just conversational enough for us to get a feel of the place.
The restaurant had a great menu with lots of options for vegetarians. My partner got a very huge steak which he said was wonderful (and wonderfully done) and I got a pesto pasta. My only complaint was that the pasta had a lot, a lot, of oil, but I believe that was part of the pesto sauce. It tasted just fine. The salads were good, and we did not have enough room for dessert.
Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone passing through on their way to Watkins Glen and beyond.
