The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with dark wood accents and comfortable seating. The dining room is large enough to accommodate large parties but still feels intimate and cozy. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they are always happy to make recommendations or answer any questions you may have.

Ganondagan State Historic Site located in Victor, NY is a National Historic Landmark, the only New York State Historic Site dedicated to a Native American theme (1987), and the only Seneca town developed and interpreted in the United States. Spanning 569 acres, Ganondagan is the original site of a 17th C Seneca town, that existed there peacefully more than 350 years ago. The culture, art, agriculture, and government of the Seneca people influenced our modern understanding of equality, democratic government, women's rights, ecology and natural foods.
Ganondagan's full-size, Seneca Bark Longhouse (1998) is fully furnished to reflect a typical Seneca family from the late 1600's, complete with reproductions of 17th century Seneca objects and colonial-era trade goods.
The newly built Seneca Art & Culture Center (2015) at Ganondagan State Historic Site is a 17,300-square-foot center that tells the story of Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) contributions to art, culture, and society. Designed to fit into the natural landscape, the center features an interactive, multi-media Exhibit Gallery, including a changing exhibit space, Orientation Theater (featuring the Iroquois Creation Story film), auditorium, and gift shop.
