Jefferson On The Lake

The restaurant has a stunning location by the lake, offering breathtaking panoramic views. The service and food were exceptional. It's truly a hidden gem that deserves more exposure! Additionally, it has excellent catering facilities!

We arrived for a birthday brunch at 12 and and were told that the chef called in sick and they had no chef! The management had called for a replacement but he was coming from the Bronx and wouldn't be there for another one and one half hours. We couldn't wait and neither could the dozen other diners in the parking lot. We all had reservations but no one called us to cancel. It was very disappointing . This is no way to run a business.

The food was absolutely delicious! However, I think they should expand their martini menu to include a wider variety of flavors. Currently, they only offer the standard martini, chocolate martini, and espresso martini. It would be great to see options like watermelon, peach, and cantaloupe added to the list. Additionally, they should consider providing happy hour drinks and food; when we arrived at 5 PM, there were no specials available. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and attentive.

I strongly recommend this brand new restaurant . Food preparation was outstanding , beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. Pear Gorgonzola salad with pine nuts was great to share for two. The sausage soup was outstanding try it!! . And our Veal Parmigiana entree was prepared perfectly along with Al dente Penne in ‘just the right taste ‘ marinara sauce. We’ve got to talk this restaurant up with our Jefferson Valley Yorktown neighbors. It’s a large venue , unlike anything nearby. Don’t want to lose this gem.

The atmosphere was quite loud due to a large gathering at the bar, which shares the same space as the dining area. Our waiter never checked in on us to see how we were enjoying our meals and simply cleared our plates without offering coffee or dessert. When it came time to settle the bill, we had to flag down the waiter, and the final amount was much higher than we expected, especially considering the quality and quantity of the food and drinks we ordered. We were eager to try this new restaurant hoping for a great experience, but sadly, that was not the case. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

We enjoyed our dinner at Jefferson on the Lake. The view was magnificent and the food was very good. I have 3 issues, however. Our food might have been sitting awhile because it was lukewarm. A glass of wine in this area should not be $14. That’s a NYC price. We are used to paying $8-10 in this area and we eat out just about every Saturday night in different places. Lastly, please expand the dessert menu. There were only 3 items and not one chocolate item or ice cream. Maybe consider offering Tartufo, or anything chocolate. That being said, we will return as everyone liked their dinner and really enjoyed the view! Voir le carte

My husband and I went out for Easter dinner and we were thoroughly impressed! It's a shame that many people seem to view this place as just an event venue and overlook it as a restaurant—they're truly missing out! The service was excellent and the food was fantastic. We kicked things off by sharing a grilled octopus, which was prepared perfectly. For our main courses, I had the veal parmigiano and my husband ordered linguine with clams—both dishes were exceptionally tasty. For dessert, we decided to share the tiramisu. Though we usually aren't big fans of it, we were pleasantly surprised; this version was delicious without the overpowering taste of espresso. We will definitely be returning!

Upon our arrival the host did not have our reservation that we made through Open Table but since there was only one table occupied on a Saturday night we were seated promptly. The waiter didn’t have a clue as to any of the items on the menu and had difficulty getting our simple order correct . Other than the Burrata and Prosciutto appetizer, each of our parties entrees were tasteless and of poor quality. The portions were small and the only starch included was stale bread. The setting became very loud due to a large gathering at the bar which is in the same room as the restaurant tables. The waiter never asked us how our food was and basically just left us after clearing our plates without o...
