    Eggs and hash with gluten free toast

    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.

    Our first stop in town. Had great sandwiches and beef on weck and great local beer. Waiter was friendly and the food came out fast! Great menu with some local specialties. Enjoyed it very much!

    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.

    This is a casual homey place. It was very busy on a Wednesday at 11:30am. There seemed to be a lot of regulars -always a good sign. The waitress was friendly. We had the veggie omelette and a ham and cheese sandwich with a side salad. Prices, portions and taste- All were very good. The town is cute in a beautiful setting by Lake Chautauqua.

    We almost passed on Splash because we assumed it was more of an upscale wine bar and not really our…read morestyle. We're so glad we gave it a chance because it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The patio right by the lake is really cute, and we grabbed a couple of drinks and just relaxed before dinner. Even though it was one of the busiest weekends of the summer, we never felt rushed. We actually enjoyed taking our time, enjoying the view, and soaking up the atmosphere. I ordered the filet medallions, and they were cooked perfectly, right around medium to medium-rare, exactly how I like them. They were incredibly tender and full of flavor. My wife had the sea scallops, and after stealing one from her plate, I can honestly say they were amazing too. One thing I noticed from reading reviews beforehand was people mentioning the portion sizes. Personally, I thought they were just right. You leave satisfied without feeling stuffed. I'd much rather have a plate of high-quality food than a giant serving padded with fries and other fillers. Honestly, this is how more restaurants should serve food and how Americans should eat. We've eaten at several of the other restaurants in Bemus Point during our stay, and Splash was easily our favorite. The food quality was on another level. It felt like a chef-prepared meal instead of the typical bar food you find around the lake. After dinner, we wandered inside and ended up staying for the live piano entertainment. It wasn't what we expected; it was upbeat, interactive, and a lot of fun. The whole place had a great energy. If you're in the Bemus Point area, do yourself a favor and give Splash a try. It's a refreshing change from the usual fried bar food, the setting is beautiful, and the entire experience was one of the highlights of our trip.

    On a Sunday, the website said piano music of Elton John and Billy Joel. There was a banner outside…read morethe restaurant saying, "live music tonight." We arrived BECAUSE of the expectation of listening to music while we ate - arrived at our 6:30 pm reservation. After we were seated, we were told, "the piano guy didn't show up." We were upset about the nonchalant way we were blown-off. Now, we had decent drinks + food BUT I don't think we'll return this season. No response to my Facebook message despite banner saying we'd hear back within 48 hours. Poorly handled all around. Should also mention we were not the only unhappy people as a couple of parties left after finding out there was no music. Very disappointed and can not recommend (anymore). UPDATE after owner comment: she says, communication was "not up to my liking" - ouch! My "liking" would have been something along the lines of "we're truly sorry but the scheduled pianist has taken ill." I would also have removed the flag outside saying "music tonight." YOU put the message on Facebook that you would respond within 48 hours. After my issue, you changed your message to "call us, don't expect a replay as we're busy". Really? Yes, better communication at the restaurant would have definitely made our dining experience more enjoyable. After setting expectations (Facebook reply time) - meeting them would have made me pause in writing this review :) Better training for the staff IS in order - it would not take a lot of effort to get everyone on the same message. In the end, this is not a huge deal. We're (merely) more disappointed after your response. We wish you well as past experiences have been fine. We'll move on for this season - and will probably try again next.

    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...
