Fabulous experience here a few weekends ago. We had a big group of 12 and they were able to accommodate us with reservations about a month prior. We had the entire back room to ourselves. Our waitress was attentive to our large group. I had a couple dirty martinis (fantastic), spicy tuna roll to start (tasty), and then had the ribeye for my entree (favorite part of the night!). Will definitely come back when we're back in town! read more

Some friends and I went here with our combined 4 kids (ranging 8 months to almost 7 years) this morning for breakfast. It's definitely got a polished casual, wine bar sort of vibe to it so you can pretty much dress however you want. It's not the normal sort of place you'd go to for breakfast necessarily, but it was open and my friends swore by it. My kids got hot chocolates and the adults all got Irish coffees. The hot chocolates were decadent and delicious without being scorching hot. PERFECT for the kids! My friends loved their Irish coffees as their typical go-to. I like my coffee a bit on the sweeter/creamier side and this wasn't really it with a bit of that coffee bitterness still coming through that was a bit of a turnoff for me. That's just me and my personal taste though, so take it with a grain of salt. My kids shared a French toast with blueberries (no kids menu available, it seems) and it was HUGE. They will usually pound an adult portion of anything between the two of them and even this was too much. There were 2 extra thick slices to start and there was easily a half slice left, enough to fill a small to-go box up pretty solid. I got the burrito which came topped with salsa (ranchero) and cheddar cheese plus a side of shredded hash browns. The hash browns were half crispy and half limp but still quite tasty. The burrito itself was a good size though not enormous. While nothing mind blowing, especially for the $19 price tag, it was a solid meal overall. One of my friends got the lobster eggs benedict special and said it was life-changing. It was $24 and came with a massive hunk of lobster meat. For a $3 charge over the standard benedict, that's a steal and smartly priced for a good heaping of lobster. Getting the food out seemed to take a little bit of time, but the server was good about checking in on us throughout and the other staff we spoke to were also very friendly. Overall, a solid experience. Definitely paying a little bit extra for the ambience and ski resort town, but I'd still come back to check out the lunch and dinner offerings for sure! read more

Dina's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ellicottville, New York

Dina's really captures the best of both worlds! It's chic enough to feel like a special night out but also has a comforting & welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. The space itself is beautifully designed, with just the right mix of modern touches and cozy details which sets the tone for the whole dining experience. I ordered the duck with rice and it was truly the highlight of my meal. The flavors were layered and balanced perfectly, and the duck was cooked to perfection--tender and flavorful without being too heavy. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into how the dishes are prepared and presented. Dessert was the only area that didn't quite shine as much for me. While it was nice to have a sweet ending to the meal, the desserts felt a little on the dry side. The extensive wine list and the full bar more than made up for it. There's such a wide variety to choose from that it feels like there's something for every palate, whether you're a cocktail fan or a wine lover. If this spot were closer to me, I know I'd be here all the time. Since it isn't, I don't get to visit as often as I'd like, but that almost makes it more special--it feels like a real treat every time I come. Between the atmosphere, the service, and the quality of the food, it's always a memorable experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Linda had chicken quesadillas and I had a Ruben. Everything was so scrumptious and blazing hot when served. We both had Pasta Salad on the side which was also fantastic. Our server, Noreen was very attentive without hovering. I highly recommend Dina's. Don't walk by this gem. Charlie read more

My second time at Dina's and this restaurant never disappoints!! Lobster Ravioli was divine!

I got filet mignon which was truly DELICIOUS. Very tender steak and a delicious potato and blue cheese mixture it sits on top of. Really one of the best steak dinners I've had in a while. The service was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself has a modern cabin vibe. I was a very big fan. read more

I love the layout and the decorative design. The food didn't match my expectations . The latte was served lukewarm warm. My short rib panini. Had flat almost processed meat looking pieces of beef. I thought short rib was supposed to be shredded off the bone. The "whipped goat cheese was filled with lumps and was anything but whipped. Wasn't even close. Although the layout was nice it's not worth eating there again in the future for me. read more

A wonderful experience for our bachelorette party staying in EVL. Everyone's food was divine! We had a large party of ten and they gave us a mostly private room in the back that fit us perfectly.

Ordered: Fried Calamari (~$17): served with homemade red sauce and chipotle aioli Teriyaki Glazed Salmon (~$35): chargrilled Norwegian salmon, Asian fried rice, sautéed carrots, and mango salsa Rosemary French Fries (~$7) Aya's take: We were in the area for the day and stopped by for dinner. Dina's has a rustic bistro vibe serving pizzas, pastas, steaks, and some Asian-inspired dishes. Being from NYC, I was surprised that the prices here were comparable to what you would find there. It didn't really make sense to me. The food was good but nothing really stood out. The Calamari was nicely fried, wasn't chewy, and paired nicely with the chipotle aioli. The Teriyaki Glazed Salmon was decent but the mango salsa felt a bit out of place. The salmon was cooked well but could've used some more salt. It honestly felt like a meal you can whip up at home and again, the price tag was a bit surprising considering the location and overall flavors. Decent for what it is; I can see why locals would come here! read more

Breakfast was great and staff was too. Corned beef hash was one of the better I've eaten.

The ambiance, food and service were all amazing. We loved it so much we will be back for breakfast. The menu selection pleases all. Our drinks, apps and entrees were delicious. Best place in the area, and we have frequented for a decade. I am not sure how we missed this gem all these years but you cannot! read more

Dina's in Ellicottville is a beautiful restaurant with a menu offering plenty of variety, but unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Upon arrival for breakfast, we were told there were no two-top tables available, despite several open tables in view, and we were seated at the bar. We waited over 10 minutes without acknowledgment, even though the bar wasn't particularly busy. Throughout our visit, we were told the staff was simply too busy to provide attentive service. Not due to complaining but making eye contact when a coffee refill was needed or when our food was served but we had no flatware to eat with and the server/tender immediately took off after essentially throwing our food at us. For the prices, we expected better quality in both food and service. Next time we're in Ellicottville, we'll be trying one of the other many dining options. read more

I came in with 5 other college age guys for lunch. Service was a high point. Speed and attitude were great, especially for a larger party. If you're looking for a good bang for your buck place, this is not it. The portions are probably fine if you're an average eater, but they felt quite small for us. The price of everything made this more exaggerated. Expect 20-30 dollar per person. As far as the taste goes, I got a burger that felt lacking in toppings and overall flavor. The party's were alright, but for 20 bucks no. A friend got the burrito bowl, which again felt severely under sized for price. For the same price you could get a chipotle burrito bowl with double meat, and guacamole; this burrito bowl would arguably taste better with those alone. The sandwich's again felt severely under sized for price, and the taste was just meh. The steak and ramen was pretty good. I did not get a chance to try the drink menu read more

Amazing place to dine. The decor is beautiful. We were in the bar for coffee in the afternoon and then came back for dinner on the side dining room. Very rustic and charming. Cocktails were priced well. We had so much to choose from on the menu. I had meatballs and brussels spouts which were both amazing. My husband started with the ahi tuna and Cowgirl Ribs and loved them. Very good service and the place was lively without being too loud. We'll be back! read more

The shrimp cocktail was great exactly what you want in a shrimp cocktail with big Shrimp and the cocktail sauce was legit very horseradish-y. The mushroom toast was very good eminently eatable 8.5. Our waiter was named Jebb he was great very pleasant amd even though it was a busy night still brought out the food at a decent pace.. read more

Came for brunch and had a wonderful experience. Modern decor with comfy and spacious booths. Their menu had omelets, French toast, pancakes, and breakfast entrees. Most plates run $17-$20. They feature a mix between classic breakfast dishes and enhancements to the classics. Our table got hot coffees and lattes. The lattes looked super cute and there were free refills on the hot coffees. I ordered the traditional eggs benedict and it was delicious! The sides included hashbrowns and an orange slice. Our meals for 6 people came out in a reasonable amount of time. Service was professional and friendly. Our waitress was busy but checked on us a few times. We came around 11 am on a Sunday and didn't have a reservation but they had room to seat us without a wait. Overall I'd be happy to come back here again. On the way to the restroom I noticed a beautiful wall storing wine bottles, so I bet dinner here would be fantastic. read more

I've been here a couple times. I'm usually very happy. The chipotle chicken wrap I had toady was delicious and there fries are phenomenal! Everything tastes pretty fresh and flavorful. I however did not like the Ramon steak last time. I was excepting Ramon soup not just noodles. Their staff is very friendly and it's super cute in the inside. The price is average I would say. The menu should be a little bigger for my liking. Lastly, we went at around 11 ish not very busy in there but the stood still took a solid 20-30 minutes. Overall nice place and I suggest checking out this local gem. read more

Went here for breakfast. Big portions and great food. The burrito stole the show. Let my girlfriend try a bite and she kept asking for more.

Excellent food and service. Filet cooked to perfection. Couldn't get enough of the whipped goat cheese. Recommend!

Our go-to place for lunch after a little shopping on and off the Main Street. Never disappointed with the food. Salads are fresh and delicious. Fish tacos are excellent. Don't forget the truffle fries. Service by very friendly waitstaff. The interior is beautifully decorated with seating available outside. read more

We had the MOST amazing experience at Dina's in the fall of 2024. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was excellent. Among our drink orders were rich espresso martinis, full bodied red wine and a refreshing cucumber basil martini. Our table of five shared two orders of the burrata appetizer, which had us drooling over both the presentation and taste. For dinner we had ribs and the filet mignon. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the rissole was delicious both with and without the Gorgonzola cheese. The ribs were tender and fell right off the bone. Every single plate was wiped clean at the end of the meal. The restaurant itself is a cute little place with a chic interior. What really took our experience to the next level was the stellar service provided by Jessica. She was kind, patient, knowledgeable about the menu and went out of her way to make sure we had a memorable experience. We would 100% visit Dina's again. Thank you, Jessica, for making an impression on our group! read more

So we wanted breakfast and it was between here and another place. Dina's had more options. It is a litthe pricey but it was so worth it. It looks small from outside but it is a big place. They have booths and tables and the deconomy is great. I had French toast huge pieces and full of flavor. I didn't even use syrup to eat them. Couldn't finish. I am not a coffee drinker so I ordered hot tea. They gave me a pot not a teeny pot where I get one more cup. Make that close to 3 cups. And many choices of tea. I also ordered fruit bowl. I love my fruit. My hubby ordered the Coleman omelet. Ot was delicious. He ate it all up. When we visit agan we have to try lunch or dinner. Food was excellent and can't wait to come back. read more

Dina's Restaurant - great filthy martini - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ellicottville, New York

Made reservations at Dina's for a weekend in Ellicottville. Reservation was ready for us when we arrived and we were very well attended to. They have some very tasty cocktails. I recommend the seasonal pumpkin martini and the apple pie mule. They were both lovely. Our appetizer was tuna sushi type nachos and was quite nice. I failed to get a photo of any of these things and such a pity as the plating and presentation was much better than our entrees. I had the seafood special of the night which was sea bass with a red pepper based sauce, seasoned rice and spaghetti squash. It doesn't look like much but it was perfectly cooked, seasoned well, and delicious. The bf had lobster ravioli. Also not gorgeous but tasty. We ended with a berry tart that again, wasn't pretty but was delicious. Good food. Relatively high prices. Iffy presentation. read more
