My husband and i thought it was very good and the service also, everyone was so nice. We were visiting from Germany and we fell in love with Cooperstown. more

We were looking for a great place to eat. We should have kept looking! The service was TERRIBLE! Our waiter was drunk, he forgot to give us our drinks and food after taking our order. Finally we had to ask the bartender if she could help us. Our food was less than mediocre. My diner tasted so salty my mouth... more

I have lived in Cooperstown all my life, over the summer the bistro went through some challenging times with an unskilled chef trying to lead the way. Im glad to say that the restaurant is back on track and food is once again coming out tasting great. It is also nice to see that they have hired a younger staff... more

The food wasn't anything to write home about. The atmosphere was pretty good. Our waiter knew nothing about the local beers. The most annoying part was another patron with their screaming child who didn't seem to care that they were ruining everyone else's experience. The manager should have asked them to take their child outside until he calmed down. BTW,... more

We were told by our B&B that this was THE place to dine in Cooperstown. I truly hope not. Our waitess couldn't be bothered to get us drinks or even acknowledge our presence, we had to approach an unapproachable bartender and wait for her to serve us our drinks. When the waitress did arrive she was obviously frazzled, unkempt with... more

We sat on the restaurant's terrace -- nice place though overlooking the rear end of the post office (some screens or perhaps trellises with vines would help). That helped considerably, since it seemed rather noisy inside. We had excellent service and were very pleased both by the food and wine -- imaginative, reasonably priced, well cooked, and, a special pleasure,... more

Hoffman Lane Bistro has a lively atmosphere and good food. It's better suited for a gathering of friends or family rather than a romantic evening since it isn't very intimate (e.g., oldies music plays loudly). Although the service isn't rushed as badly as a chain restaurant, the staff could work on providing a more relaxed pace (e.g, refrain from serving... more

A lovely place, good service, an interesting menu, wine and bread good, but the problem is the food. The expensive appetizers (duck wontons and thai pork/shrimp) were mushy and overcooked with no distinctive flavors. The entree of mushroom ravioli was too thick, doughy, not well-cooked, and had a sweet, muddy flavor, and was inedible. The chocolate mousse was heavy, not... more

One the the best places, as it is one of the ONLY places in Cooperstown for a great date! Enjoyed the ravioli with sun dried tomatoes, cream sauce and hazelnuts. more
