Pultneyville, a quaint hamlet in the Town of Williamson, is located on the Lake Ontario shoreline in Wayne County. Situated on the Seaway Trail in the midst of fruit orchards, it is beautiful at any time of the year, according to Tom and Sherry Watson, owners of The Pultneyville Grill. Q. How would you describe The Pultneyville Grill? The Grill is a casual fne dining restaurant featuring creative modern American cuisine, an eclectic bar with craft cocktails and an array of Scotches, and a service staff emphasizing warmth and friendship. We want our customers to feel as welcome to the Grill as they would be to our home. Q: What would you like the WXXI audience to know about The Pultneyville Grill? We are open all year long! We have a lovely patio available in the summer. Our website is our major communications venue. We encourage people to check it regularly for our live music events, wine pairings, our annual Scotch tasting, and specials. Q. What distinguishes The Pultneyville Grill from other dining options? We subscribe to the “farm to table” philosophy whenever possible. Our location allows us to beneft from the high-quality fruits and vegetables grown locally. Q. How did restaurant ownership come about as a second career for you after working internationally for Kodak? Why in Pultneyville? Sherry and I lived in Pultneyville and enjoyed having a fne dining option in the area. We “failed” retirement and jumped headlong into the restaurant business (with no experience). July 2015 marks our ffth year in the business. www.pultneyvillegrill.com N EW S & EVE NTS
