"First visit to the Timber Stone Grill while on vacation for my wife's Birthday. They have a nice outside patio seating section to go along with the inside dining and bar. The ambiance is pub style yet the menu and execution are upscale, along with the prices. We started with the Hearts of Romaine salad $12) to share, a well dressed salad with shaved Parmesan cheese, peppercorn and baguette croutons which was very tasty. Next we had the Tuscan Style Calamari $16), capers, olives, scallions, sweet peppers, this was very interesting and quite good, not your standard Calamari for sure. The Birthday girl had the Bistro Tenderloin $38), with green beans and roasted garlic whipped potatoes piped into a decorative pillowy mound. She throughly enjoyed all, the tenderloin cooked to a perfect medium as requested. I went with the Bone in Ribeye $46), topped with bacon, scallions and blue cheese crust with the green beans and whipped potatoes. My steak was a bit past medium as requested one side stayed on too long as demonstrated by the uneven ring), the bacon and blue cheese where a nice addition as the steak sans crust was not that flavorful. I didn't feel it warranted the price as this in the league of steakhouses I frequent and this steak wasn't on that level unfortunately. We ended with 2 Lemon Cheesecakes $8) served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and regrettably raspberry sauce garnish which I feel they should ask if you would like added as neither of us like it. The Birthday girl had hers comped which was very nice. Our server Brian was a star, extremely personable and attentive, it was a pleasure watching him work his other tables as well and make time to chat, then wisk away to handle his next task. Overall we had a very nice time at the Timber Stone Grill, a pub with a fine dining menu and presentation. Cheers"

"My first review since I 've sadly moved to the east coast. This is the first place that was truly unexpected. I 'm not one bit upset that I blew my diet for this meal. In short: IF YOU LIKE SEAFOOD, YOU WILL LOVE THIS PLACE! After driving to and from Hammondsport a handful of times, whenever we would pass by this place, I thought to myself I need to try that place...but it looks more like a local dive bar BUT, being that there are nice options in the downtown area of Hammondsport, we haven 't gotten around to it....until tonight. First impression, we got there around 5:30 (on a Thursday . The inside was not what I would expect from the outside. Cozy dining room with a small bar....all themed to a nautical motif. *Yarrrr* I was a bit nervous that we were the only ones in the dining room, but we were seated and the very pleasant waitress was quick to get us our drink order. Perused through the menu, my partner in crime decided on the largest dish on the menu...the Nor 'easter and shrimp cocktail and I ordered the Cioppino Pot. But first, we were treated to a warm basket of CORN BREAD(!!! . It was crumbly and sweet and went perfectly with a honey butter. It 's the little touches that stand restaurants apart. Our salads came out, they were fresh with some of the best tomatoes I have had in a while. My squeeze ordered the homemade ranch dressing, I had to have a taste and it was delicious. Then.....the pièces de résisances (I 'm guessing that is how you plural that phrase ...the main courses. They were large feasts of treasures of the ocean. My man enjoyed his trough of food, cooked perfectly and fresh seafood. Mine was incredible. The sauce was full of flavor and really complimented the seafood. It was this tomato based sauce with celery, a bit of spice, and some other flavor that I couldn 't quite put my finger on. In the short amount of time I 've lived in this area....this is by far the most memorable meal I 've had in this area (Corning/Hammondsport/Ithaca . It is not foo-foey and not presumptuous (we are out in the sticks people, let 's stop pretending to be fancy . Super friendly staff, the owner chatted with us and was very friendly. Pricing was spot on for the quality you are getting. Hands down, best seafood you 'll get in the area."
