    Eggs and hash with gluten free toast
    Megan D.

    The bemus point inn is a must visit when we are on Chautauqua lake. They have indoor and outdoor seating available, the service is always amazing and aside from having wondering food in general, they are known for delicious (and massive) cinnamon rolls. Our server Lindsey was very attentive to us and each of the girls made sure our coffees were always fresh and full. We simply love it there!

    The Bemus Inn is one of our family's favorite restaurants around Chautauqua Lake, and today was my first time visiting this year. It was a calm Friday morning when we arrived around 10am, and we immediately seated ourselves at the empty bar. I ordered a hot chocolate, which now comes on a bigger mug, and a #12 breakfast that includes French toast, two eggs, sausage, and bacon. My sister got Irish eggs Benedict, and my brother got toast and eggs. Everything was great and our waitress was attentive without being annoying, some places don't know the balance but I've never had a problem here. The restaurant was getting busy as we left so it was just the right time to eat breakfast. We also enjoyed seeing the restaurants exterior and interior improvements made over the past year.

    We ate at this restaurant twice on our vacation for lunch .Great happy friendly service. When it's real busy they give you a beeper to wait for a table outside.Prices & portions are great. We took home a piece of pie and a mini cinnamon roll the first time we dined for lunch. They have the staff to serve and cook and customers seem very happy. We had the lunch combos both times consisting of a full sandwich, potato chips, a pickle ,and soup or salad. The kitchen seems able to handle the amount of business. Busy both times we were there. Wish they were open more hours and days ,but totally understand staff need a break. This restaurant is a great Asset to the Bemus point area.

    Update (2026): Last year I gave Heirloom three stars because I loved the setting but thought the…read morefood fell well short of the experience. This year, our friends told us they had a great meal here, so we decided to give it another try. I'm really glad we did. The menu felt much fresher, with several interesting choices. I ordered the risotto, and while I wish it had been served a little hotter, it was delicious. The salmon was also excellent. At the end of dinner, I asked our server if Heirloom had hired a new chef because the food was so much better than I remembered. She said it was the same chef, but the team had worked together to improve this season's menu. Mission accomplished. I'm happy to update my rating to five stars. If you're staying at the Athenaeum, Heirloom is once again a restaurant I'd recommend.

    Some of the prior reviews were of concern, but we had no other choice today if we wanted to eat…read moreindoors and experience the insides of the Athenaeum Hotel. We ended up quite satisfied ... delighted, even. We were greeted by the hostess, and seated promptly (this was important because we had a bit of time pressure), and had a very short wait for the server (Miranda, who will feature prominently later in this review!). We ordered, the strawberry/charred-peach/burrata/arugula salad for me, the ahi-guacamole + chips for my spouse (it was a light lunch that was needed). The food came promptly, and meanwhile another staff person had come by to verify that we didn't need to order drinks. The food was delicious, although I have just a couple small complaints: the guacamole overpowered the ahi tuna, so I think they'd be wiser to have the ahi in larger chunks. When the server came by to ask how we were doing, I mentioned that I liked the salad very much, but was disappointed to have only one strawberry (4 slices) on the salad. Miranda said, "Let me get you some more." She returned soon after with a small bowl of sliced strawberry (still only one, but I was pleased with her response and the good taste of these Albions -- which normally make a nice color appearance but rarely have good flavor). Anyway, if you are looking for a cheap lunch, go grab a sandwich at the other lunch venues. If you are looking for an experience -- the views outside of the lake and and boats, etc; the spacious dining room with overhead fans; the attentive but not intrusive service -- then do come here. At least for the lunch menu, I can recommend it very highly. And ask Miranda for an extra strawberry...

    Have stayed here lately. Have had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Both were very good…read more Service is outstanding. Hotel is top-notch. The view is the best on the lake I think. Amenities are great.

    Twice Disappointed…read more We have now dined at this restaurant on two separate occasions, and unfortunately, both experiences left us very unimpressed--especially for a restaurant located in such a nice hotel and charging these prices. Our first experience was lunch in the spring of 2026 while we were staying at the hotel. We were extremely impressed with the hotel itself--the room, staff, and location were wonderful--so naturally we expected the restaurant to be of comparable quality. Sadly, it was not. Our food came out fairly quickly, but it was cold, and several items we ordered were missing. We then had to wait quite a while for someone to return so we could ask for the missing items and condiments, which were definitely needed to help the already subpar flavor. We left disappointed but decided perhaps it was simply an off day. We gave the restaurant another chance in August 2026 while celebrating my father-in-law's 89th birthday. Since this was dinner service, we hoped for a much better experience. His prime rib was actually very good, with no complaints other than the mashed potatoes being served cold. I ordered the Charbroiled Frenched Pork Chop, and unfortunately, it was awful. It had very little flavor and was dry and badly overcooked. The three onion rings served with it were rock hard, overcooked, and cold. They tasted as though they had been deep-fried much earlier and left sitting rather than being prepared fresh. I did send the onion rings back, but I chose not to send the pork chop back because I didn't want my 89-year-old father-in-law, who tires easily, to have to sit and wait while my meal was remade on his birthday. The coffee was another disappointment. At $15, even with a carafe provided, I certainly expected it to at least be hot. It wasn't. Our waiter was adequate and did nothing particularly wrong, but the level of service simply didn't match what I would expect at this price point. The interaction lacked the warmth, attentiveness, and polish you would normally associate with a higher-end dining experience. After two visits with many of the same issues--cold food, poorly prepared food, missing items, and service that doesn't match the prices--I don't think we can chalk this up to one bad night. The hotel itself is lovely, which makes the restaurant even more disappointing. With its location and atmosphere, this restaurant has the potential to be very good, but the kitchen and service need considerable attention. At these prices, guests should be able to expect freshly prepared, properly cooked, hot food accompanied by attentive service. Sadly, twice disappointed.
