    The thin crust pizzas ate delicious. Not too filling but enough to get you to your next dish and in my case the watermelon salad. Everything was delicious including the excellent strawberry shortcake

    Nick is great. Dan Vita and the whole crew make the place rock. Excellent place to get cozy. Once a month they even have wine tasting. I'm here a few times a month and enjoy it every time.

    Excellent choice of cheeses and wines. The meat and cheese board 3 x 3 is a good start. Excellent thin crust pizzas to choose from. The staff is always helpful. Nicole knows her wine and cheese.

    The 3 x 3 meat and cheese platter was a great start with a glass of wine. If you are undecided, Nicole or Olga can choose the meats and cheeses for you along with the wine.

    I had an enjoyable evening last night by myself at the Keuka Kafe. The place was packed but thanks to Ollie I got a table in less than 5 minutes. I out did myself by trying multiple dishes.

    I'm sorry that I am limited by the number of characters I can post but lastly, the blazing hot cappuccino in a tall cup was delicious. That ended the fun evening. Nicole is a great asset here.

    Happy birthday to ollie the owner. As a present he gets to work in the kitchen for his birthday but after talking to him he loves it. He takes a lot of pride in the food that he prepares.

    One very strong suggestion is do not run out of the Strawberry Shortcake! It is such a good dessert very fresh and very good tasting after a nice meal.

    Proprietor is super friendly and knowledgeable, passionate about wines and knows her stuff. Love the atmosphere - laidback, serious about wine but not afraid to have fun.

    One suggestion is to add the Strawberry shortcake to the dessert menu. I tried it the time it was here and it was very good.
