About Us

Our Story

Main Deck draws inspiration from the sporting and boating heritage of the stunning American Finger Lakes region, honoring the legacy of the 20th-century Penn Yan Boat Company. Our three-part service model welcomes locals and visitors to experience Main Deck ‘their way,’ with the best of the region’s locally sourced ingredients, wines, and craft beers.

Situated on the north end of beautiful Keuka Lake, Main Deck offers expansive lakefront views from its dining room, outdoor deck, and lakeside patio. Enjoy seafood, farm-to-table dishes, and vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options in a fine dining atmosphere. Our restaurant serves lunch, brunch, and dinner, featuring reimagined New York State comfort food made with fresh ingredients from local farms like Oink & Gobble Farms, Rosenkrans Farm, Bedient Farms, Briar Patch at Whiskey Hill, Finger Lakes Farms, and Satur Farms. 

For those seeking a relaxed ambiance, The Tunnel Bar at Main Deck, located on the lower level, highlights the Finger Lakes’ acclaim as the premier wine region in the U.S. With bar bites, unique cocktails, local craft beers, and seasonal entertainment, The Tunnel Bar is perfect for live music events and waterfront enjoyment.

Our quick-service window, Scuttlebutts, offers an easy grab-and-go experience with breakfast sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and fries. Main Deck provides something for everyone, from fine dining to casual bites.

Main Deck is centrally located in Penn Yan, NY, neighboring the charming towns of Canandaigua, Hammondsport, and Bath. We’re near the Finger Lakes’ popular destinations like Yates, The Windmill, and top hotels. Explore an unforgettable dining experience at Main Deck!
