It was gorgeous — full of charm and character, the kind of place that reminds you why you travel in the first place.
But then I went downstairs for dinner, and the room became just the opening act.
The restaurant inside the Parkview Inn is doing serious work. I started with the French onion soup — deep, savory, the kind of soup that takes time to make right and clearly did. Then the rattlesnake shrimp hit the table. I wasn’t fully prepared for how much heat it carried. That’s a compliment.
The closer was the house-made chicken pot pie. When a restaurant makes something from scratch, you can usually tell — and this one wore it plainly. It was comforting without being boring, the kind of dish that works on every level.
A huge thank you to Experience Tioga for bringing me down to explore everything this region has to offer, and to The Summit Federal Credit Union for sponsoring Eat Local New York Restaurant Week (April 13–26, 2026).
