The Yard of Ale is a casual, fine-dining restaurant located in the western Finger Lakes region. Our mission is simply “to make people happy,” and we strive to do so with quality service and extraordinary food.
We feature a diverse dinner menu, as well as featured entrees each evening showcasing specialty and seasonal ingredients Chef Brian Simmons has ordered for the week. We serve dinner Tuesday through Sunday, and a tavern menu is available for customers in our bar wishing for a more casual meal. Lunch service is available only for larger groups. The upper level of this historic building includes a banquet room and smaller dining room. A wide selection of meal combinations for sit-down or buffet service is offered. We also provide off-site catering. Please see our private events and catering page for more information.
In addition to our routine dinner service, we provide semi-annual pairing dinners to delight our local connoisseurs of fine food and beverage. The summer pairing date and menu have just been released. Click here for more information.

Don't take our word for it!
I wanted to thank you for a wonderful time my family had last Sunday when we celebrated my dad’s 81st birthday. The food was fantastic and our server, Alex, went beyong the call of duty to make sure we were having a good time. I’ve been telling all my friends how happy we were with the Yard and will most definitely be back. Thanks so much.
