    We met our friends here for lunch. This place was decorated so nice. It was beautiful with all the different Christmas decorations & other things. It has comfortable seating & numerous areas to sit. Our waitress was nice, helpful, quick to respond when we needed something. There was a menu board with all kinds of "specials" as well as the regular menu. There were 4 of us & we each had something different & all enjoyed our meals. Turkey barley soup, shrimp cocktail, & fried pickles were our appetizers which were yummy! We had a Reuben sandwich with fries, a Lee Burger & coleslaw, a Rusty Nail burger & fries, & pulled pork sandwich with added coleslaw on it with fries. OMG none of us had any complaints!!! The boys took Peppermint Cheesecake home & loved it!

    Pretty decent place! The service here is top notch! I remember what this restaurant used to be and was looking forward to trying it out. Greeted n seated quickly and food arrived fast. Had to try the chicken fingers, my go to! They were tossed in bbq, and the sauce was great. Big sizes too so definitely took some to go. My husband enjoyed his grilled cheese and our son the Mac n cheese. The parents had some fish type of platter and also got these fried mushrooms. Everyone was happy with their meals! Good food and a cute renovated location I hope that this place thrives in this small town!

    My sister and I took our mom out to dinner and picked this spot since it's closer to her than us…read more None of us had been before, so we were going in blind. When we walked in, another customer was raving about the food and telling us how much we'd enjoy it, which honestly made me feel a lot better about trying somewhere new in an unfamiliar area. The vibe is like a bar turned restaurant, dark and a little moody but not off-putting. My mom even got a cutesy leprechaun margarita, which made her smile. We started with 10 mild wings for the table, my sister got a Caesar salad and said the dressing tasted homemade, and this is where I tried French onion soup for the first time. It was okay, just really salty. My mom ended up finishing it, but I did like that the cheese layer wasn't too heavy. I'm still on the hunt for a French onion that really does it for me. I didn't get pictures of the mains, but my mom and I both got steak, I had mashed potatoes and she got a baked potato. My sister got the fettuccine alfredo and marveled at the flavor. She kept saying you can tell it's a local spot and not a chain just by the care put into it. My steak was good, nothing crazy but you really can't go wrong. The mashed potatoes were a little bland but still edible. My mom loved her meal and finished everything, while my sister and I both had leftovers. The only downside was the service. Our waitress wasn't very friendly, kind of impatient and a little passive aggressive, like we were bothering her just by being there. Given the lack of diversity in the area, it didn't completely surprise me, but it was still noticeable. We didn't let it ruin the night though. Overall we still enjoyed it and I'd go back if I'm ever in Batavia again. Reasonable prices, solid food. Taking everything into account, I'd give it a 6.9/10.

    Oh how the mighty have fallen! I remember when this restaurant was opened by "Alex" and it was…read morefantastic. I knew Alex by mutual acquaintance and growing up in the same small town. He was a professional restaurateur who was paid to sit with celebrities at the posh places he worked in South Florida in the 70s. Whatever else is said, the man had high standards in food and dining experience. When he opened, and for years after the place was always packed and very popular. The food was high quality and your meal came with 2 sides, salad, hot bread and nice presentation at a reasonable price. Alex left the business several years ago and the current owner has run it for some time. Today was my first time back in several years. The outside looks dated and needs a refresh. I almost thought it was closed. It was 2:30pm on Saturday before Mother's Day and almost empty. I don't recall it ever not being full of people waiting at the bar for a table. Until today. The decor is ok although I don't care for the fringe lamps directly over your head. I was going to get ribs but decided on 10 oz prime rib ($32.00) comes with 1 side (I chose baked potato - only sour cream and butter is offered). No salad unless you pay extra! The warm bread was fine with two kinds of butter. My companion had the Kids spaghetti $(8.99). My prime rib came out and it looked about half the normal thickness it should be and in a puddle of juice. Even the server commented about why the kitchen did that. And it was warm, at best. No horseradish or other condiments were offered. No garnish on the plate. Just a thin slab of meat. The juice should have been in a separate cup. But the small baked potato was steaming hot! My companion had a giant pile of spaghetti with about a 1/4 cup of sauce on top! Too little for the mound of spaghetti. And it looked like cheap jar sauce and no meatballs. She didn't mind but I wasn't thrilled. And her fountain drink did not come with the meal ($3.99)! I had a lavender lemon drop martini that was ok. ($10). Ultimately the food is mediocre and it feels like they are cutting corners to keep prices down. But that means it's no longer the special place it used to be. Sad.

    The old orchard inn reminds me of a German restaurant called The Wooden spoon. It's nostalgic and…read moreappears everything is original. Just stunning. Driving through the trails to get to the restaurant offers a beautiful landscape full of foliage and classic looking buildings. Absolutely gorgeous. Walking up the path to get into the restaurant is quiet and serene. When entering the restaurant you enter a portion of dining room and can see the bar. Super nostalgic. The food, drinks, and dessert were all fresh and delicious. I had the Norwegian Salmon and a glass of Col Taylor (Bourbon). Paired wonderfully. My wife had the prime rib with a glass of Jingle Juice. She loved them. The service was top tier and consistent. I thoroughly enjoyed small talk with the staff in between meals. Overall my wife and I love this restaurant. It has become my favorite place. I'm very big on nostalgia and classy service.

    Very friendly but slow service. Accommodating of special requests. Fantastic ambiance…read more Very appealing menu, but chef fails on executing some menu items. If you like your proteins well done, you might be very happy. Spinach salad with goat cheese, blueberries, strawberries is excellent. I had the dressing on the side. Wooden chairs very uncomfortable. We were seated near a window with a lovely view. Window (inside) had numerous live and dead flies. If my husband had written this review, he would have been less kind.
