Nice country setting, with a bright, tasteful and airy atmosphere. Service was friendly and food served in a timely manner. My wife ordered the Wild Salmon and I had the Halibut. Both dishes were served with their own grown Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes. Both our dinners were excellent. We started with a Ceasar salad comprised of their own Organic Field... More

I selected this restaurant based on the trip advisor reviews and was intrigued by the farm to table concept. The restaurant being near the farm is a bit off the beaten path but worth the drive. The scenery from our table was a peaceful forest setting and there is patio dining available for the warmer weather. The restaurant is a... More

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night as we were looking for farm-to-table organic foods. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. My pizza appetizer was very very good (wish it was a little bigger than the 6") but our server forgot my husband's soup. We both had the haddock, which was very tasty even tough overcooked. I wouldn't say... More

We arrived at Elderberry Ponds just after noon on a Saturday on a cool, windy day in mid April after visiting the Harriett Tubman Home in Auburn (and before going to the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center) - no reservations and at the height of a weekend lunch hour. We found only a couple of other cars in the parking lot,... More

We had the Dicken's dinner, in accordance with the Tudor decoration, singers etc, in Skeneateles before Christmas. it was very yummy. Others had the duck, which they said was outstanding. Our guests said they had enjoyed lunches there in the summer on an outdoor patio. Would love to return.

My first time at this lovely restaurant and I wonder what took me so long to get here? Entering the dining room on a beautiful fall evening one finds a stunning fireplace lit and low lighting which creates the perfect ambience! There's somethinbg about dining in low light that makes it more memorable! The food was luscious, the wine cold... More

The restaurant is nice, with an interesting enough menu. The food was average, though; perhaps a little better, but not exceptional. The kitchen shut down early, and we had to order early for some guests who were arriving late: 8:30 PM! It just didn't seem like it would take much effort to keep the kitchen functioning until they arrived and... More

Elderberry Pond is in the middle of a working farm that produces much of what is presented in the restaurant. But, it's not rustic. It's quite stylish. The food is good - not great by any means - but good enough. A fireplace in the winter. Fresh veggies, hams, pork and much else. A menu that reflects the seasons. Welcoming... More

A wonderful evening in a very warm atmosphere. From the welcome (we were a half hour early, but were quickly accommodated) to dessert, the service was gracious and effective. When you can't decide which of your dishes is the best, and have trouble stopping yourself from licking the bowl, you know you've had great experience. Notable dishes were the Brie... More
