    Great vibe here. Can only talk about the drinks, but the cocktails were good and fairly priced and a couple local beers on tap. Great service. I understand the place is relatively new but I'm sure it's a great addition to Olean.

    About time Olean had a hip place to grab some drinks with friends! Foods not bad either!

    Ordered 7 drinks. 3 were "mixed drinks" and 4 were canned/draft beers. Have been waiting for 30-45 minutes. Terribly slow.

She needed a place to eat and as I was looking at her location I seen this wasn't too far off from interstate 90 where she was. Read her the menu options and she wanted mac n cheese. I called it in and explained that she's handicapped and I am ordering this for her. They were super accommodating and even brought the food out to her when ready. I surprised her with pretzel bites which she enjoyed. Her only real complaint was no utensils came in her bag so she had to wait to eat the mac. I had some when she finally came home, we reheated it the next day. I thought it was ok. I enjoyed toasting the pretzels in the toaster more. I'm sure a good dine in spot with a vibe but.

My favorite was The Stowaway, though it's not on their current menu. In its place, Fig Around 'N Find Out is my current go-to. Current favorite food item on the menu is the scallop risotto, which I got for my birthday a couple months ago. Every bite was phenomenal and there was enough for me to get 2 meals out of it. I also really enjoyed the friend pickle spears. My boyfriend's go-to as a picky person is their smashburger which hw loves.

    We enjoy going to Souther tier brewery. The food is very good and the beer selection is not bad…read more Everything has to ordered at the bar which can result in quite a wait when it's busy...and it's always busy! If the service was faster we would go more often.

    I love Southern Tier Brewing Company's beer, especially their Pumking (though their limited Rumking…read moreis even better...) but I've also fallen in love with their Bourbon Smash cocktail-in-a-can they sell. The Empty Bottle is STBC's distillery and, to be honest, I think was more fun to go to compared to their bar/restaurant, The Empty Pint! Some family and I were visiting Jamestown for a weekend and after we had a few drinks and some food at The Empty Pint, we stumbled over to The Empty Bottle to sample some of their harder spirits and maybe some cocktails. Plus, we needed to escape the incredibly loud live music playing at The Empty Pint... Right from the start, it's a more intimate setting and was much more relaxed. We grabbed a table inside with no trouble at all and ordered a flight of their "Draught Cocktails". The ladies working behind the bar were incredibly fun, friendly, and enthusiastic and really brightened up our night! We enjoyed all of these drinks but we really loved one called "Transfusion", which was their vodka, Welch's Grape Juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and ginger ale. We all wanted to buy a few bottles of this, if they made it, it was absolutely delicious! The price for the flight was very reasonable too and they gave you a nice pour for each. If you want food though, you'll need to take a short walk over to The Empty Pint, though I'd recommend just grabbing some appetizers, do a bigger meal elsewhere. My advice to anyone visiting Southern Tier Brewing Company would be to first come to The Empty Bottle and enjoy cocktails and the harder spirits then round out the evening, once it gets a little later, with a Pumking (while it's on draft) at The Empty Pint, up the road a few steps. I'm really looking forward to coming back to The Empty Bottle the next time I'm in the area!

    The Rose Tavern located in the renowned Lake House on Canandaigua Lake. The ambiance is beautiful…read more The staff is welcoming. The bartenders were extremely talented. Steven and Megan are a proper fun duo behind the bar but their skills really stand out. My only negative is HOW EXPENSIVE the drinks are. You have to remember that this is an experience and enjoy every moment but be prepared for a steep bar/restaurant bill. We will definitely be back again. We are locals and have so few lakefront dining/drinking venues that this is a nice place to enjoy the views with a mix of local wines and international, spirits and beers. Cin Cin!

    Would give them 3.5 stars. Agree with some other reviews that the view and atmosphere is nice but…read morenot worth the upsale price. We came as a larger group and they were nice enough for us to order from the breakfast menu as they switched over the lunch menu at 11:30am. Our table enjoyed the food but all agreed it wasn't worth the price point. I tried the chocolate croissant with homemade butter and maple bacon jam along with the Canadian bacon Benedict. The chocolate croissant was nice with the maple bacon jam but definitely not worth the price point of $12. The croissant was quite smaller, like the chocolate croissants you can get from Costco or Starbucks. The Canadian bacon eggs Benedict however was delicious and I really enjoyed it! I just am not sure again it was worth the high price point. However I definitely felt the service was missing. As we were the only ones in the dining area, I felt the service was missing the mark. The server saw we were carrying a baby in the restaurant but didn't ask if we wanted a high chair. My mother-in-law spied it in the corner and then we had to ask for it and we proceeded to set it up at the table. As I was with 2 young kids, I ordered some simple items before the main course like their chocolate croissant and fruit cup. I assumed the server would ask if we wanted those ahead of time but that didn't happen. He also had forgotten my son's drink order and which my son actually had to ask him after some time "where's my juice?" My older son had ordered the s'mores waffles and it looked good when it was delivered but as I cut some of it for me to try later on, I soon realized the batter was uncooked in the middle of most of them. I was thoroughly disappointed he had eaten some of it before I discovered it was uncooked. The server throughly apologized and they remade the order which in the end, we ended up taking home with us. They also didn't take the order off the check for us which normally that would happen. For such a classy restaurant, we would think they would know how to make waffles and for more top-notch service. I think next time we will just enjoy the nice views and choose to eat somewhere else when we are in the area.
