The Rainbow Lodge — Restaurant in Town of Tompkins

This happened Friday night after driving for almost four hours from out of town.

Well our server started out nice but by the end of our meal she was not so nice. It took a while to get anything even though they weren't that busy. We didn't complain at all just asked after a long while if our food was ready because people that sat after us were getting food. The server went and checked and said it was being plated. Okay no problem and it came out a few minutes later. My husband got a "special " it was so salty that he could only manage two bites. The server came around to check on us and he said it was too salty please take it back. No apology, no offer of anything else even though he said he didn't want anything else (because we waited long enough) but didn't even offer. His soup was good though when he finally got it. So mine was okay, edible but not what I remembered the last time we were there. He sat there quietly while I ate. The server came over to see if we wanted anything else and my husband said flatly because he was hungry tired and disappointed " just the check please". Well she yelled " you don't have to have an attitude!" She came back with the check and he said sorry and I didn't say it like that and she yelled again " you were nasty!" And walked through the dining room yelling he's nasty! We paid our bill and as we were leaving he said goodbye and thank you and see said " yeah" So we should have went to Danny's when we passed it coming into town but wanted to go to Rainbow Lodge because it's been a while....

I remember the salad bar always had pickled beets no more the bartender kept on going outside and I believe to smoke while we ask for the web password and she got a menu and she said it to phone number so I don’t know if she’s new because she didn’t know the phone number and you think she would’ve gave us two menus one for my wife one for me but maybe it’s not her job I don’t know if she’s new or what but not very happy and the waitresses were very polite friendly but seems like they’re very shorthanded. I told the one don’t rush. We have no way to go, but I did order a drink and I thought it was on tap the apple cider 16 ounce glass and I got a bottle not very clear reading the menu so I think that it’s going down hill and no signs on the road by Rt10 or going up to the place my wife said maybe they’re closed maybe they went out of business but when we got up there, we saw some cars. New Orleans was good at the beginning. Seems like to forget what...

Been talking this place up for a while to a friend of mine. 4 of us took a ride out there on our bikes today. We walked in and stood next to the "please wait to be seated" sign for about 10-15 minutes before anyone came up to seat us. After we sat another 15 minutes before we got our drinks. We ordered out food and sat their for an hour and a half waiting for our food before we just got up and left. We where there for about two hours and got a round of drinks. The service sucks and the server should find another profession. We wouldn't have given her a tip even if we did get our food.

An absolute joke, oh and there were maybe 5 other tables when we got there and 2 when we left so it was not busy. We will not be back and I suggest you not go there either. The food is not worth the wait nor the expense, might as well go into Walton or Deposit and spend your money where you will actually get the...
