The Krebs 53 West Genesee Street, Skaneateles, NY 13152

"Our waiter literally couldn’t be bothered with our table. We made reservations for 7:15 and ended up waiting a half hour until the manager came over and asked if we ordered drinks yet to which we replied “no.” After another 15 minutes from the manager taking our drink order our waiter finally came to our table to take our order. It was then another 10 minutes until the drinks arrived. The only quick service were staff members clearing plates once we finished. Our meal didn’t arrive until after 9. Our group had to flag down another member of staff just to order a second drink. Ironically our waiter came quickly to drop the bill and couldn’t be bothered to bring it back to us after payment to say thank you and goodnight. Honestly such a shame as the numerous prior experiences I’ve had here were phenomenal. I’ll have to think twice before returning again."

"We stop at Krebs for a cocktail prior to dinner. This place is gorgeous with an unbelievable atmosphere. we stopped and had a couple of drinks in the bar area. The staff was terrific and explained all their specialty drinks. I am looking forward to stop and hear and having dinner. The second time I went here for my anniversary for dinner 8:00 reservation did not get served to almost 10 very unhappy with the service the food and the timeliness Not sure if I'll stop back"

"Perfect Birthday dinner. Back in January my husband treated me to the most elegant birthday dinner. We did make reservations ahead of time but we arrived a little early and started at the bar. The bar is very comfortable and the bartenders are prompt and pleasant. After taking a minute to look around at their bottle selection and cocktail menu I was pleased to see they offer a wide variety of options in many different price ranges. So if you're a cocktail connoisseur or a novelty drinker there's something for everyone. After enjoying our first drink (I can't remember what I ordered) we made our way to the table. The dinning room clean, nice, and cozy. We got greeted immediately with water and fresh focaccia. For our meal we started with the bison tartar, this dish was perfectly seasoned, and cut perfectly. It was soft with no rough pieces and had a great balanced flavor. For our second round of drinks I ordered a Sazerac and my husband ordered the El Diablo. For dinner we shared the Norwegian salmon and duck breast. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, the salmon had an incredible crispy skin and the duck was cooked exactly the way it should be. We practically licked our plates clean. For dessert we ended with a creme brulee. This was the least exciting part of the meal it was okay nothing special and the shortbread square on top was not needed. In all it was a great meal and a great evening out to celebrate."

"You cannot pass up a visit to Krebs! The atmosphere, and service are phenomenal, and the food is fantastic! Lobster crepe, and Bison tartar are by far my favorite!"

"First-time experience at The Krebs! First of all, I loved it. The food quality, music, interior, and staff were all perfect. I quickly understood why this place has such a high rating. For appetizers, I tried the bison tartare, and for the main course, I opted for the duck breast and bone-in beef—both were superb. I visited on my birthday and had left a note about it when making the reservation. Every staff member passing by greeted me with a happy birthday, and there was even a "happy birthday" lettering on the ice cream plate. Additionally, the overall vibe of the restaurant was awesome. The ambient lighting inside the restaurant was optimal, creating a luxurious atmosphere complemented by the music. I will definitely revisit and explore other items on the menu. Having experienced fine dining in many countries, I can say I am highly satisfied with The Krebs. The staff doesn't pressure you to order alcohol, unlike some other fine dining establishments, and they don't solely recommend expensive menus. While it may not be important to everyone, if I were to suggest an area for improvement, it would be the plating. I'm not sure if all the plates are plain white, but introducing other colors and enhancing the presentation with more intricate decorations could elevate the dining experience. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying their current style isn't fancy—it's just that there's potential for even more sophistication. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"
