The Krebs

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!

My husband opted to make reservations for our 5th Wedding Anniversary. I was surprised since this is not the type of place we usually patron. I mean it's more upscale but he wanted to try a fine dining restaurant. First place I've ever been where the silverware is changed before your meal. The food was excellent. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. I had the krebs burger and my husband had the tenderloin, which was $60. Although it was one of the best tenderloin he's ever had.

Let me just say perfect across the board. My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful brunch here. The atmosphere is amazing! It’s a combination of understated elegance and old world charm. Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive, food was fresh and delicious. We are looking forward to returning for dinner.

From start to finish, the experience was exquisite. Our waiter was attentive and explained everything on the menu with clarity and creativeness. The presentation was artistic and complimented the food perfectly. I ordered the pierogis and a glass of red blend that was amazingly paired. All in all, my favorite restaurant in Upstate NY.

I have a severe allergy to garlic and it’s nerve racking to eat out. The entire staff at The Krebs was aware of my allergy and very reassuring that there would be no garlic. The salads were plentiful, colorful and delicious and when served, the server reiterated there was no garlic. My main meal was made special to ensure no cross contamination. It too was delicious. The service was fast but not rushed and the atmosphere was comfortable. Highly recommended! We will be back.

The lobster Benedict was fantastic, and the hollandaise was one of the best I’ve had. The bloody was classically awesome, and the avocado toast was delicious and unique. The potatoes and salad were okay and not unique, which is why I knocked down a star. The staff is world-class, friendly but not intrusive, and the atmosphere is relaxing and idyllic - exactly what you would want in a lakeside brunch on a big wrap-around porch. Lots of people to see, gardens to enjoy, and comfortable seating.
