Wow!! Super surprised how great the food was! Starting with potato slabs! You can tell they were fresh potatoes not the typical frozen crop! The wedge was perfect with lots of fresh veggies and yummy bacon, dressing seemed home made! I had Prime Rib, special...delicious, tender, huge and au jus delicious! Hubby had fettuccine and they added shrimp , which was nice! The jack scampi was impressive, large tender cleaned shrimp. I saw a dessert go by. You hoo. We were to stuffed! Prices were great, service too. Thanks guys!! We'll be back for sure!!

My husband, baby and I went to The Reef and had a wonderful lunch. The food was absolutely amazing, the restaurant beautiful and clean, and our waiter Mike was attentive and kind. I am a wheelchair user and the parking, curb/stair free entrance and bathroom were all great. We already can’t wait to go back!

The staff at 13th hour rising recommended this place for dinner when we asked for a suggestion. We really liked it! Nice atmosphere, nice staff. The food was tasty and came in generous portions. Good selection on drinks. Highly recommend!

Just had Brunch at the Reef! Other than the fact that I was told there was going to be funnel cakes and a clown, and there were neither, it was a great experience, and by great experience, I mean the food was great, the service was great. But I have to say the bartender kept telling me to chew with my mouth closed and to keep my elbows off the table. Ok “mom”. I just wish I didn’t have a pebble in my shoe when I walked in. Kinda put a slight damper on it. But I really don’t know Jack (get it?). “I like eggs”* *Debbie - The Amanda Show

Wonderful place to eat dinner. I’m never disappointed when eating here! The food is always very good. They have some of the best burgers I have ever had. The staff is very friendly and frequently checks on you to see if you need anything. They have many food and beverage options to choose from. The wait staff will always keep your beverages topped off!

The portions are enormous for the price . Even the kids meals were huge . I ordered the breakfast burger and it was one of the best burgers I’ve had. This was my families first time at this restaurant and we all loved it. The waitress was very nice and the interior has a great look. There is a boat launch on the property as well as it backs up to the Seneca river .

We ordered sea food platter and frog legs, and both dishes were delicious, enough to share. We didn't wait too long to have the dishes served, hot. I will highly recommend this restaurant since it has a variety of menu
