Had dinner here and what a treat! Make a reservation so as not to be disappointed. There is a large dining room and an enclosed porch with lake views. A lovely setting for any meal especially if the day is cool. A very good menu with a good selection of food.

We had dinner on the porch with a lovely view of the lake. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Our server was Jessica who was very attentive to our needs.

We usually arrive late and it is our first stop for a hearty meal. The food is excellent quality and the selection ensures everyone is happy whether you are ordering fish and chips or the Yankee Pot roast. PLUS the restaurant overlooks the lake which adds to the overall ambience.

My wife gave me my choice of any restaurant for my 50th birthday. Really any. This is what I chose and it was (again) incredible. I mean as good as there is on the planet. My favorite meal is the open steak sandwich with a Beefeaters martini. Thanks for making this so special!

We only ate in the bar section, not the main dining room. The food was great, as was the service, and we enjoyed the Old English Bar atmosphere.

We have gone to the Sherwood Inn countless times and always have a wonderful meal. The Friday night raw bar is fabulous - especially if you like raw oysters! The pan seared scallops are delicious as is the pecan encrusted salmon. For an appetizer don't skip the crab cakes. There is a wonderful bakery right behind the restaurant that we... More

Dinner with friends on a visit up there. Went there as a kid---view the best, village very cool. The Restaurant is formal...tavern has seating along the front windows overlooking the lake---snagged one of those tables (no reservations for the tavern) Sandwich's, burgers available. Pasta, sea food always on hand. Weekend is "Prime Rib night" (so old time---love it)--had that...done perfectly.... More

We ate there twice during a recent trip to Skaneateles. Both times the food was outstanding. Loved the French onion soup, and the pot roast with root vegetables was delicious. The steaks were perfect. The first time we had a party of four. The second time a party of 13. Service was great both times. My only issue was that... More

The drinks were well made. For you beer connoiseurs, I recommend "Skinny Atlas" draft beer a specialty of the Sherwood Inn. The food was promptly served and effectively presented. I had the Scrod Christopher and my wife and sister-in-law had the Quiche of the day. There was a lot of great food and we were all so filled we just... More

My top five (okay seven) positive comments: 1. German-style entrees as well as fine sandwiches 2. Nice selection of beers from local micro breweries 3. Feels like Paul Revere, General Washington, and Ben Franklin are about to walk into the restaurant. 4. Gorgeous view of the lake from the front Windows. 5. Service was quick, courteous, and professional. 6. Nice... More
