Finger Lakes Landmark- Turn-Key Restaurant & Event Destination Welcome to a rare and exciting opportunity in the heart of the Finger Lakes! Long celebrated as the home of the iconic Emile’s Restaurant, this high-profile commercial property is now ready for its next chapter. Perfectly positioned at the bustling corner of Routes 5 & 20 (174' Frontage) and Serven Road (314' Frontage), this nearly one-acre site offers unbeatable visibility, easy access, and a daily traffic count of over 11,000 vehicles, all just minutes from Seneca Lake, Downtown Geneva, and the NYS Thruway. Located in the middle of the Seneca Lake and Cayuga lake wine trails, and close proximity to tourism landmarks in Waterloo (birthplace of Memorial Day, Women’s Hall of Fame and Museum) and Seneca Falls (Home to National Historic Women’s Park and Museum, It’s a Wonderful Life Museum, and Seneca Waterways Museum.) The 7,435± square foot building is packed with potential: currently configured for 177 seats (with room for more), it features a full bar, multiple dining rooms, private event spaces, walk-in freezers, prep areas, offices, and three restrooms. The fully equipped commercial kitchen and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment are included, making this a true plug-and-play opportunity for restaurateurs, brewers, caterers, or creative entrepreneurs. With 81 paved parking spaces, flexible interiors, and a warm, welcoming layout, the property is ideal for everything from destination dining to weddings, tastings, and private events. Its location at the gateway to the Seneca and Cayuga Lake Wine Trails, between Rochester and Syracuse and near Hobart and William Smith Colleges, ensures strong year-round traffic and regional appeal. Whether you're inspired to revive a beloved restaurant or launch something bold and new, 369 Waterloo-Geneva Road offers the infrastructure, charm, and location to bring your vision to life. High traffic. High visibility. High potential.
