This craft cocktail lounge is swanky and chic and absolutely fabulous. They serve classic and signature cocktails and also have an impressive selection of hard to find bourbons. Our party of 7 was able to find a spot quickly as we arrived shortly after opening. I'm not sure how crowded it gets on weekends, but it was fairly (and consistently) busy on an early Thursday evening. There was only one bartender, but he was hustling and impressively efficient - keeping everyone happy. I was very impressed! We had a lovely evening with enjoying the company of friends, the ambiance and the cocktails. What a fabulous place!

We went in during breakfast time, so we only had their breakfast menu to choose from. We got the…read moreFrench Toast and the Gin Mill Brunch Burger. The Fresh Toast was absolutely delicious. Possibly the best French Toast I've ever had. It's egg battered which is a plus. They also give you plenty of syrup and butter. I got the Gin Mill Brunch Burger because I was craving some burgers, but I didn't know they had a separate breakfast menu, so I went with the brunch burger, which sounded good. It's a normal burger but with egg and instead of using regular burger buns, they use a bagel. It also comes with diced hash browns which were very flavorful. As much as I love burgers, this one just wasn't as good as I hoped. Mainly because of the bagel, which was harder than your typical burger bun. The burger was also lacing some flavor. Our server was also very nice and explained everything to us. The interior is also very nice and has a historic atmosphere with lots of taxidermy.

I'd heard that we wouldn't be experiencing much in the way of fall color on our Ellicottville…read morejaunt, but brown is a fall color, right? Oh, well. At least they have plenty of bars. Very good beer menu, despite there being no Scotch ale. Boo! One friend was very happy to find Sam's Cherry Wheat among the selections. I made do with a Prosecco from their decent wine list. I wish I'd remembered that I wasn't all that thrilled with the crab cake at Public House on the Lake. Not that it's bad. Just not the "jumbo lumps" I prefer in a crab cake. Cajun aioli - yum. The friend that ordered the steak sandwich cooked medium received it well done, but said it tasted good. And she's really picky about her beef. Stinger sandwich and chicken fingers were pronounced fine. French fries were not. Shoestring isn't my favorite cut, but these were limp and greasy. Wet potatoes? Oil not hot enough? French fries shouldn't be this hard to get right. Minor complaints: no blueberries in the EBC blueberry wheat. For shame. You're right next door to its birthplace! And serving a souffle cup with the lid still on is just a wee bit tacky. YES, I'm picky. And proud of it.
