You need a reservation to visit The Blind Pig; only open on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The…read morereservations were available a month in advance so I was eagerly waiting for our visit. Reservations can be hard to come by and go quickly. I found information on reservations from The DeLand House on Main Facebook page. When you arrive the entrance is tucked away on the side. There was an employee at the door who greeted us and asked for our reservation name. He then asked us for the password which I did not remember. Thankfully he gave us a hint. The experience of getting to the bar area is very fun. As this is a speakeasy the entrance is hidden in plain sight. You must go up a flight of stairs, down a hallway, and from there you'll need to find a certain button to reveal an additional flight of stairs. We really enjoyed the spectacle of this part. We got to the bar area and were surprised by how packed it was. We had a table with a view next to a lovely window seat (great photo opportunity) The decor is fun and inviting. We also enjoyed the beautiful plates and silverware. Service was wonderful. Every employee we encountered was engaging and we felt they made effort to make the experience special. Food and drinks were enjoyable. The signature cocktails are 15 dollars a piece. Beer (canned) and wine is also available. I ordered the corpse reviver no 2. Cocktail. Lightly sweet and fruity. The menu offers a variety of small plates. We tried the chicken meatballs, whipped mozzarella & balsamic tomatoes, and lemon creme profiteroles. Everything was tasty but nothing mind blowing. My favorite were the lemon creme profiteroles which featured a triple berry coulis. The flavors were refreshing and summery. The seating area did have some cool air flow through from time to time but after being up there for a bit we started to feel warm. Overall, The Blind Pig is a very fun and unique experience. One of a kind for this area and makes for a fun night out.

We really enjoyed our first experience at the Blind Pig (and we will be returning in March with…read morefriends). The experience is indeed novel. We enjoyed the setting (we secured a couch) for the two of us. The drinks were very good, although at least the first one I had was a bit small (more in the second). Really enjoyed the combinations. And it'snice that they have non-alcoholic versions for those who prefer that. The small bites, in my opinion were outstanding, and we sampled everything we could (except the peanuts). It's not quite a full meal, however, even after sharing 5 of the offerings so we went elsewhere afterwards for a bit more. I do like that they let you linger and don't push you, though we were out in about an hour and a half. For 2 (three cocktails, 1 glass of wine, 5 small plates, $103.72 + 20% tip, $124.46. I would recommend that everyone try this at least once (though I'm unsure if it is accessible for those with mobility issues. A lot of stairs in an old building. Finally, I commend the owners for all that they are doing at the Deland House. Lots of innovative project and a fascinating place for weddings and banquets. Though I do miss the ol' Mr. Dominic's.

This place is 100% worth a try if you want something fun, different and flavorful. Definitely recommend.

Two stars, and that feels generous…read more My wife and I recently visited Bonnie and Clyde in Fairport as part of a group of eight, and we left disappointed. At $117 for the two of us, including tax and tip, we expected a lot more than we got. Let's start with the positives. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The building itself is a converted bank, and the old vault is a striking architectural feature, though we didn't dine in it. The restaurant also deserves credit for offering some vegan options, including one vegan entrée. That said, the issues outweighed the highlights considerably. The noise level was genuinely awful. We were at a table of eight and had trouble hearing each other. The space felt sparse and cold, not in a minimalist-chic way, but in an unfinished way. The whole "Bonnie and Clyde" theme has such strong possibilities it's a shame they didn't pursue them. The food was mediocre and overpriced. I ordered two vegan sides instead of an entrée: French fries and a roasted beet salad. I asked the waiter to prepare the fries vegan-style with just ketchup, but they arrived with two sides of non-vegan aioli anyway. The fries themselves were average. The beet salad was fine but small and forgettable. My wife ordered the king trumpet mushrooms, the only vegan entrée on the menu. The mushrooms were decent, nothing more. Her cocktail special, a kiwi and vodka drink, was watery and bland. A few other frustrations: the vegan items are not labeled as such on the menu, which is an easy fix that would doubtless help many diners. There is only one vegan entrée, which feels thin. And Lagunitas non-alcoholic beer is available, but you would never know it, since it does not appear on the drinks menu. We will not be returning.

We were greeted by two of the coolest bartenders around, such an awesome vibe they have going on here. A stage with live music, a shop to buy anything and everything possible. Food and of course, good bourbon to enjoy and to take with you. After trying a few different ones , we settled on the Straight Bourbon Whiskey to take with us back home. This is definitely more than a tasting room, it's a good time waiting for you! You'll definitely want to grab a seat, order some bites, a few drinks, listen to some good music and enjoy this one of a kind distillery. Cheers!

Most breweries have terrible wine options. I was SO happy to find this place. It's cute, it's cozy, it's clean, it's friendly, it's really reasonably priced - can't beat it! And best of all, so far, the 3 times I've been, I can actually have a conversation with people rather than feeling like I'm shouting as with most any other place for drinks/wine/snacks. It was so quiet on Saturday evening it worries me they won't last so PLEASE PLEASE go there and keep them open!!

They also have a surprisingly large food menu, but we just had cocktails and dessert. Drinks were just OK, but the desserts were great! Definitely recommend the chocolate raspberry cake. My only critique is that the table arrangement is setup more like a restaurant than a lounge and the decor is a bit random. If they made it feel a bit more loungey, I think it would improve the overall vibe.

Bartender was friendly but when asked questions about a few things did not know the answer. Service was slow. Probably because one person in the kitchen & the bartender only for the tables & bar. If you have a new place of business wouldn't you want to make a impression on people? Food was average nothing to rave about but I will say it did come out hot. The portion for the rice bowl was way to small for the price. For 4 people with one person only having a side of fries the bill was $68!!! Place was clean & hopefully they can keep it that way. I'll head back here in a few weeks to see if it has improved after having some time to get their feet wet as a new business.

Six o'clock reservation on a saturday walked right in and got seated. It is a bit cavernous (older brick building which used to be home to American Can Co). Was not cramped with well spaced tables and not overly loud, did not notice any music playing and was not crowded with a few open tables. Menus were printed on the paper table placings (front/back) which probably came about because of Covid and a great idea. Found serving sizes ample and food well cooked and seasoned. Hugh plate of egg plant parm, two rib bone in pork chop cooked to perfection, beef short rib, "The Bear" (off the bone, they also had a short rib special on the bone this night), 4th entree was a pasta dish (gnocchi?). Did not have drinks other than water and a couple of beers so can not review wines or mixed drinks. Only reason for 4 stars is the parking is horrible on location so save yourself the time and park right across the street at the municiipal free parking.
