A a very attentive and pleasant Server handled the entire place by herself efficiently. The coffee was strong, which I like. I had a bacon and egg sandwich and coffee and I was able to spread out my papers on a clean Surface to prepare for a meeting that was coming up. The environment was noisy, but with friendly voices from a largely local crowd, which wasn't distracting at all. I was able to refill my coffee cup at no extra charge. Parking was easy, right outside the very wide street accommodates cars parked perpendicular to the establishment right in the middle of the street. Nice place. I'll be back.

Food is excellent as is the price! It's a bar with pool tables and dining tables and a full bar.read more

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!

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.

We were ignored upstairs and the hostess was sent up to take our drink orders, however she let us know that she was not of age and couldn't serve us. She also told us that our waitress was busy. We waited like fools. 1.5 hours of our time. The server took our drink orders. She said we had to wait until the waitress was free since she could not deliver them to us. Eventually we were served after she gave us an excuse about the wait. We also had 2 different menus with different prices. We did not order food, we asked for our drink bill, but it never came. While this was all going on, another party of 4 left saying that they didn't eat either and that they seemed like we were bothering them by showing up. We had to go downstairs to the bar to pay the bill. We will NEVER RETURN. It is obvious that they don't want to work. Even the cook was overheard saying that it's good that we didn't eat there.
