    Rare 10 oz filet with twice baked potato.
    Krista M.

    By far the nicest restaurant in the Irving area. My family has been coming to the Colony since my Dad moved to Silver Creek about five or six years ago and we've honestly never been disappointed. I last dined at the Colony last night (Saturday, August 1) and would recommend making a reservation due to the social distancing/COVID precautions that are in place (limited seating). The only reservation available for us was 7:15pm so we were extra hungry upon arrival! Our waitress (whose name I sadly forgot) was fantastic. From her Gilmore Girls mask to ensuring each and every course was to our liking - she was very attentive. We started with a bottle of wine (decent wine list, cocktails, beers, etc.) and ordered a few appetizers including the clams casino and the crab and lobster cakes. My Dad ordered a crock of the French onion soup. Then came our salads... and of course bread for the table... Then our entrees... I ordered the 10 oz. Filet Mignon (cooked rare) and it actually came out decently rare - woo! Of course, I was getting pretty full and was unable to finish the entire entree and completely neglected to leave room for dessert, boo. Anyway, there is plenty of free parking, a large dining area, a bar area, and a menu with a lot of variety although the focus is definitely on the steak and seafood. Even with COVID-19 among us, our waitress was so friendly. My only "complaint" is the price/cost but for the most part, you get what you pay for.

    I have never had a bad meal at the colony yet. That would be spanning three decades unfortunately it's a 45 minute drive or I'd be there even more often, but it was a great place to celebrate when winning at bingo and celebrate not winning at bingo. Service has always been impeccable and the ambience, relaxing and enjoyable, kudos to chef staff and owners .Lamb Chops Lobster Bisque Shower grills oysters

    We occasionally have driven up to this restaurant. It's a long route five & from the outside looks like a pretty common place bar and restaurant. Nothing elegant or fancy. Very noisy. The food is hit or miss. Somethings can be reasonably well done and others dreadful. The one consistent thing is if their prices are sky high. Their prime rib yesterday was $43. Absolutely no justification. Their blackened catfish was $29 which should be about 12 to 15. The list goes on. They aggressively will not except American Express credit cards although virtually every other dining facility in western New York does. Most certainly it's because I AMEX charges a slightly greater percentage to process the charges. It's ironic that one of the restaurant with the most inflated prices "nickels and dimes" customers for a few percentage points. They actually can't except AMEX but aggressively discourage it charging the servers a staggering 10% off the bill for every card they process. This penalize is the server and it impacts the customers. We got a mouthy lecture from the server yesterday and we were rudely admonished to never use it again in this restaurant. I think that was the last straw for us. We go out to eat 2 to 4 times a week but I can guarantee you we will not be back to the Colony restaurant in Irving. Their parking lot is almost never full. I can understand it. I would rather spend my money in places that have reasonable prices, high-quality food and happy smiling waitstaff not grumble bumpkins.

    Great food and service. Real turn off that there was a charge for rolls/bread. This will hurt your business in the long run.

    Off The Hook - "Seafood boil"

    Love this place. Right on the pier in Dunkirk. Cool vibe in the area, very beach-town. The food…read moreand drinks reflect that, lots of seafood and umbrella drinks. But there's a good mix of other cocktails and beers too. The owner seems really nice, she was working the kitchen along with a couple other family members, good to see, especially since it was all women- love a female owned business that's doing well and doing it right. Chicken tenders were good, not great but I think they're on the menu to placate the kids coming so fair enough. The rest of the food was GREAT. We started with calamari and it was great, came with a lemon dressing already on it which was good and didn't detract from the crispiness at all. Also had lots of battered pepper rings as well, nice balance. Combo seafood basket was solid. The shrimp were great as was the haddock - all battered on site. Fries were thin and crispy. The winner though was the California Grouper sandwich which was a daily special. It was fantastic. I could have eaten two. Came on a soft roll, with slaw and bacon and avocado and I forget what else because I devoured it so quickly. I'd go back just for that sandwich. This place is definitely worth a stop if you're ever out by the lake.

    What a find!!! I almost don't want to leave a review because…read morethis place should really remain a secret !!!!! I lived in Dunkirk for several years, but the changes that they have made to the pier and boardwalk are really unbelievable !!!! Shops & restaurants and this gem!! Let me be very clear in saying that there are maybe three tables inside; this is definitely a grab and go restaurant . However there is a huge patio with many many tables even if they are full, which is doubtful, you could certainly grab a spot on the boardwalk nearby . We happened to have a beautiful night and we have an event to go to at SUNY Fredonia so a friend recommended this place . We waited about 15 minutes to place our order. After ordering we enjoyed our drinks out on the patio while we waited for our food. I opted for an alcoholic beverage while my son had a virgin piña colada. Our number was called maybe 15 minutes later and we were served absolute deliciousness. My son ordered the California, which was a delicious crispy fish sandwich while I opted for an Asian chicken wrap. Our food was absolutely delicious. Served just right. The food temperature was perfect and the portions were ample . The service was wonderful. If I ever come upon a beautiful night again in Dunkirk, I will definitely be visiting this place !!!!
