Ginny Lee Cafe

This is a little café at Wagner Vineyards. The views are amazing! The menu isn’t huge, but what is on it is yummy. My only complaint was the cheeseboard appetizer. The cheeses (with the exception of the bleu) were very bland and seemed cheap. Also, the crackers served with the cheese were butter flavored crackers instead of the traditional water crackers (so it doesn’t interfere with the flavors of the cheese).
They have a nice list of specials in addition to their regular menu. I had the chef’s special flatbread pizza and it was a garlic, chicken, and vegetable pizza that was really delicious. The hubby had a roast beef sandwich that he let me sample and it had this yummy horseradish cheese sauce on it. Service was fabulous, quick and friendly!

Quiet on the afternoon we were here, although they were having a large anniversary party going on. I had the Vegetarian sandwich. Ciabatta bread stuffed full of veggies like mushrooms, and zucchini and lots of cheese served with chips. Hot gooey veggie goodness! Our server was very friendly. The view from the dining room is breathtaking. A very lovely lunch!

7 Adults and kid
Atmosphere — 4 stars
Food — 5 stars
Service — 4 stars
Background — A winery, brewery and a café on the same property. There was not much to think about. We needed food and we always could use more wine or beer.
Atmosphere — Their name says café but screams banquet hall to me. Especially while an event is going on and their buffet was in the area we sat. They had plant dividers to separate us from the party going on near the bar.
Food
Drink — I had one of the beers from Wagner Valley which is the brewery on the property.
Lunch — Chipotle Steak Sandwich. I was so good I did not realize the chipotle was missing. It was in a small cup I was using to dip my potato chips in. The peppers were grilled to excellent caramelization.
Service — There were eight of us in the empty restaurant that was empty. I was 2:45 in the afternoon. She did not check in us until over half way done with our meals.
Future — I could see that if we were in the area again.

We had our wedding a week ago at the Ginny Lee. This venue is amazing the views of Seneca Lake are stunning. The food is some of the best wedding food I’ve had. All of our guests enjoyed the Wagner wines and beers and top shelf bar. Judy herself is extremely responsible and reliable she organized everything was wonderful to work with and set the room up exactly like The pictures I sent her. The staff was friendly and helpful. We could not of asked for anything more on our wedding day

Grabbed lunch here after visiting the brewery and we both enjoyed our meal. Got the signature Turkey club which is an open faced sandwich on baguette. Very yummy! Each entrée had a suggested wine or beer pairing which was cool! You can tell it’s more of a wedding hall but didn’t really bother us. Our service was good and our food came relatively quickly.

A good lunch in this oversize hall which doubles as a go-​to wedding reception venue for the locals of the Finger Lakes. Ginny Lee has a long list of craft brews from the brewery next door and a long list of local wines as well. Sandwiches, flatbreads and smaller fare adorn their menu. I could eat here weekly and never tire of the spectacular view toward Seneca Lake and all of the natural beauty here.

Really nice place to visit with an amazing view. The food was very fresh and our meals came with fresh grapes from the vineyard, probably the best I’ve ever had.
The menu is kind of limited but what is on there is done really well. With a little guidence from the menu we found some tasty beers to go along with our meals including their sampler of all the beer thats made on site. Service was a bit slow but we also caught the tail end of the season and might have been limited staff.
When all is said and done you get fresh food at fair prices with a view to boot. Step on outside and take the short walk to the brewery/​winery for a tour and sampling of their wine and beer.

We stopped to have lunch before visiting Wagner winery. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit odd that day, so we sat inside. They do have an outdoor area. We all ordered cheeseburgers, which weren’t bad. Our waitress was friendly, but the room itself was cold. It wasn’t too hot out, so we didn’t understand why it was so cold inside. A little pricey for an okay lunch spot.

Beautiful location. Lunch was alright. Service was terrible. We had to ask that the food left on a table next to us for over 20 minutes, be removed because flies and a bird were honing in on it. Not very attentive staff to say the least.

It’s located in Wagner winery. Has beautiful gardening on entrance of the restaurant. Has many tables on patio overlooking vineyard. Indoor dinning area is also huge and spacey.
I visited for lunch, we ordered pizza, daily special sandwich, various appetizer and beer. I have to say that most of them were under my expectation. I felt so disappointed. Quality of food was just okay, but price was way higher than quality.
It’s a nice place if you are looking for relaxed ambience with glass of beer and wines. But it’s not ideal place if you are looking for gourmet meal.

I shocked myself that I enjoyed my lunch here! But I did! See my pictures, it tasted even better than it looks. When my sister choose this restaurant for lunch I did not have high expectations, very simple menu and a venue that looked like an empty wedding reception. And then we were greeted by the most relaxed & pleasant server and my mood shifted and I was ready to enjoy a nice lunch and a great view. And it was a nice lunch, no, really. The french onion soup was Spec-​tac-​u-​lar seriously! the way they worked in their wines it was so good! my sister and husband also enjoyed their meals of burger & fish sandwiches. My sister also had a piece of chocolate cake that was very decadent. Overall, you don’t go there for the venue, you go for the view, but stay for the food, its simple but good.

Stopped in here after a tour of Wagner’s Winery and Brewery. We had originally decided to sit down and eat, but after waiting 20 minutes for a server to come over, we decided it would be easier to just order take out and eat over at Wagner’s on their outside deck. Waaay better choice. It only took us 15 additional minutest to get my caesar salad and my bf’s pulled pork sandwich. We checked outside and people who were seated around the same time we were, were still waiting for a server to come over. This was a sunny saturday afternoon and the restaurant was clearly understaffed for the flood of patrons. Not to mention there was only 1 computer for both the servers and take out cashiers to enter their orders, which is just ridiculous. Needless to say the restaurant was chaos. The salad and sandwiches were just ok, but we were just glad to have some sustenance before continuing on the rest of our day wine tasting. Ginny Lee’s could use some better management and splurge on another computer and they probably would be a lot less chaotic. Its a big restaurant and a beautiful location so they would do well to step their game up a bit.

We had lunch here after visiting Wagner Winery. Lunch was really good. They nicely showed you what wine and beer to pair with the food. The three cheese bread was yummy.

Don’t bother. Terrible food. Good view but otherwise yuck! School lunch…
