Old Homestead Restaurant

Back from the Uncle Sam boat tours and we were kinda hungry was passed our lunch time and we didn’t want to eat fast food by the island. So we waited til we get back. Didn’t had the chance to see the reviews about this place so we saw the menu outside and decide to give it a try. We planned to have quick small food because yesterday was my birthday and wanted to have nice dinner somewhere else. So our server was Dalton (based from our receipt) she was the sweetest. We ordered lobster bisque and Cuba island panini. Lobster bisque for me was not good, from the looks of it and the taste was like more vegetables bisque. Cuba island panini was not bad. They toasted the bread little too much, when I bite the sandwich the bread is kinda hard to bite and most of the meats cheese and pickle came ou

Food was ok. Except for the mashed potatoes. They were grey in color and had a nasty taste to them. For the price of a meal here, the food should have been amazing. The Espresso Martini was delicious, though.

Arrived at 7:45. Sat inside. No one came to our table for 15 min. Guest at the bar was so loud and obnoxious yelling and talking so loud, by 8:03 we were about to walk out but waitress finally came with water. Ordered soup, bread, and duck nachos. Food came 40 min later. Soup was not hot, and had a thick skin on it. Sent it back. Bread was the best thing but cost $6. Duck nachos had time amount of duck, no crispy skin... Blah. I wouldn't recommend. There are plenty of other places to eat. The dockside pub has way better service and food.

While attending a motorcycle rally at Alexandria NY we stopped here for dinner. We set outside on the upper deck and enjoyed our dinning experience. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was good and tasty and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend this place for a good dinner and great atmosphere.

An interesting experience to say the least. Ordered a glass of Prosecco and after taking two sips a wasp flew into it. Told the server about it and she said yes that happens when you sit outside. I would’ve expected her to just replace it but didn’t offer. Oh well. In the end still charged me for a drink I barely drank. Was also very disappointed with the food. Lobster bisque had no lobster in it. And was kind a weird dark color. The guacamole also looked old but then at the same time had unripe chunks of avocado in it. And got a very well done burger when we ordered a medium. Would not recommend coming here and definitely won’t be back.
