The Union Block at the Esperanza Mansion

Situated on the hills above Keuka Lake between Branchport and Penn Yan, NY, the mansion location affords breathtaking views of the bluff and the lake. There are multiple dining rooms, a casual "Grill Room" and an outside patio. The "Living Room" boasts a full bar, eight local micro brews on tap, a great selection of local and international wines and live music on the weekends. The menu will have all of your Italian favorites as well as a new Mediterranean Tapas menu. We will also host your large party or corporate event. We'll see YOU tonight at "The Mansion."

"This is a wonderful Italian restaurant in a historic mansion overlooking Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes region of central New York. The food is always perfect and interesting, much more than your typical red sauce Italian. Very romantic and perfect for a special occasion."
