I hate to say this but I'm at that delicate age where lighting is starting to be meaningful. The lights were too low for me in this place. Getting past that, the food portions were large and the quality was okay. They were pretty busy (it was a Friday night) but service was good anyway. It's located in the middle... more

My wife and I own a BandB(wwwthehaydencreekinn.com) near Cooperstown and we eat here all the time. The food is always good and the service is fine. These last couple of reviews are ridiculous. Hoffman Lane is the best in town. I send hundreds of guests there every summer and I've never!! had a complaint. Our favorite is the Tuna. Definitely... more

Table at back of restaurant, no atmosphere or decoration, looked like a function room or disco area. Menu OK , requested change to meal in that I dont like blue cheese. Came with it anyway. Ate as much as I could. Waiter never came and asked if meal OK, could not attract attention of staff who seemed to be rushing... more

Although our order was taken right away, it took twenty minutes and a number of requests to get the candle on our table lit so that we could see, and forty five minutes for the appetizer to arrive. The main courses were... more

The only reservations left on Valentine's weekend (which was our fault for not calling earlier) was either 6pm or 8:30pm. We chose 6pm. We were greeted at the door and immediately taken to our table. We sat on the ground floor and I believe there was an upstairs room, as well. Our meals were absolutely delicious. My husband had duck... more

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
