Reviewing the Bully Hill Restaurant in Hammondsport, New York

Bully Hill Restaurant is situated in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes wine region in upstate New York. The area is becoming increasingly well-known for its local award-winning wines, beautiful scenery and temperate summer climate. The restaurant is a part of the Bully Hill Vineyard on Keuka Lake, and it offers spectacular views from high atop the steep Western slopes overlooking the lake.

Bully Hill Restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining, and a spot on the patio offers quite possibly the most beautiful spot to dine in all of upstate New York. The atmosphere is casual, and during the summer months, it is a popular spot for vacationers who own lake cottages, locals, and wine tourists alike.

While stopping up at Bully Hill for a delicious meal, you can also take part in wine tastings, visit their gift shop, museum, and enjoy their beautiful summer gardens and vineyards right on the grounds.
