Four of us stopped in after a friend's services, but not sad, as she made it to 100. We were just to have drinks, but the atmosphere was so nice, we ate too, and glad we did. The special was a huge dish of baked mac & cheese with bacon and tomato. Waitress never left us wanting, and all had a great time, especially the 91 year old lady with us, who greatly enjoyed her Scotch(s) !!That's great to hear! We've got specials throughout the week, including Friday night fish specials -- and plenty of Scotch to go around! Hope to see you again soon!

We came here to celebrate a birthday and we're not disappointed. The food was great (the prime ribs... miam!) the ambience that of an old tavern, and the prices very reasonable for the quality of the overall experience. We had the dinner-for-two special, which included two dinner entrees, soup, salad, side and dessert for under $60 in total. Wines by the glass were averaging $5-6 each. Candlelit atmosphere with a friendly staff. What a gem and thoroughly pleasant surprise. Great way to round out an amazing day at Letchworth State Park.

We usually go here for "wing night" on Thurs night. It is a bar but the food is good too. On "wing night" wings are 50 cents. There a several different flavored sauces that are all equally as good. The last time I had a chef's salad with the wings that was a good size with many items included. Another couple had a pasta dish that was a more than adequate size.

This is not a Gourmet-class establishment. BUT -- based on just two visits, both within the past couple weeks, I can call this a friendly small-town pub where you can buy a sensibly-sized flavorful lunch plate at an affordable price. Food arrives hot after an appropriately short wait. My senior-citizen lunch bunch (12-15 individuals) met there for the first time a couple weeks ago. I think we all enjoyed the clean, relaxed dining area and the good service, and appreciated affordable food that satisfied our reduced senior appetites. I had a beer and their signature burger, "the Dale", which arrived hot and tasty, loaded with attractive condiments. My plate was empty and my belly was comfortably full when we left. Last week my wife and I motored to Avon from Geneseo specifically to try their Wednesday-special chili, among other choices. It was well worth the drive.Our experience with this venue is limited to lunch. They serve supper, too, I believe, but only on some days.

Fantastic Ribeye special! Cooked to perfection. The chowder soup was one of the best Iâve had. Service was excellent and staff very friendly and accommodating. Perfect location right on the water. Hi Doreen,It's great to hear how delicious our ribeye special was and that our chowder was the best you have ever had. We love hearing how great our staff was for you and look forward to seeing you again.

The tavern section is a very nice and happy local bar with a good selection and a small selection of bar food. They pour a decent Guinness.The restaurant is also happy and friendly, with lots of locals and on weekends is busy thus reservations suggested. They have a good but not extensive salad bar, my only complaint is that it's iceberg.The menu is varied and there are specials on most nights. We have had some really good meals and unfortunately some that were only mediocre. I suspect this has to do with turnover of chefs. The wait staff is good and with one lady who seems to have been there forever. It is an historic building in good shape and one can sit on the front porch and watch Livonia go by on a warm evening. The walls are covered in local art and are available.Ralph Parker, the proprietor, is a friendly and helpful host and always seems to be there to greet. He hosts a really good St. Patty's day dinner that requires reservations and the place is packed. He also supports many local musicians and there is at least one monthly jam session per month if not more.
4. Livingston Lanes & Pub

We typically go there on a Friday nights, honoring the western New York Friday night fish fry tradition. The fish fries are very good and generous and the side dishes are extraordinary. They serve a homemade hot potato salad, first rate. They tend to deliver the unexpected such as deserts and they are first rate. We have experimented with other dishes and been pleasantly surprised. Its little places with great results that make food exploring worthwhile. The wait staff is superb and can not do enough to please its guests, except for giving the recipes away. I've begged Flo for the potato salad recipe, but so far no luck. For those who long for a real hamburger and real onion rings I promise you satisfaction. Its not beautiful and you will hear the bowlers in the background,but you will be smiling when you exit and the price is reasonable.

My reviews are rated based on expectations, It is VG as a diner and breakfast food. It is however a diner not fine food but is friendly with plenty regulars and the service is quick and efficient. The server is happy to bring the morning paper and provide coffee refills as long as you stay. The fare is as expected: edible, plentiful, quick and filling. We have only had breakfast there thus can not rate their other meals. We are happy to return.

We came in and got seated right away. Serving time wasnât too bad but when our order came - wasnât complete. I never did get my side of coleslaw. Had a burger and fries no offer of ketchup. Ordered another drink 10 minutes later still hadnât arrived. The manager came to ask how our meal was told her about the drink dilemma she did give us s free drink. Waitress never checked to ask how the meal was. Offered us ketchup after I was dine with my burger. Brought the bill and never offered us desert. First and last time here. Food was great too bad service wasnât.

My husband and I try to go weekly for their wing night and sit at the bar to eat when Chris is bartending. Great beer selection. Amazing service. Been trying different options on the menu and nothing has disappointed so far.
