Patio was lush. Mid August midweek visit was perfect. Giant inside could be a covered patio facing west to the lake. Cyprus salad (vegetarian was enough for 2. Very flavorful. Pulled pork sandwich was loaded and fries were crisp. Oh, Jenna was the best. Chill & always ready for more service Elicotville brewing had a nice selection of summer beers perfect for a shore dinner. Nice, relaxing outing. read more

Honestly our experience here was only okay. We were seated fast but didn't get served for a long time. Our server was pleasant, but just the urgency wasn't necessarily there. It's nice and dark inside, but it was very cold from being by the water. They had a live band playing. I wanted a flight of drinks, but they told me they don't serve flights after 8 which I thought was a little odd? The Mac and cheese was good, but very mustard forward with whatever sauce they put on top. I'm not a mustard girl but some people would probably love it! The piece of chicken was super good. The loaded tater tots 10/10!! There was a lot of meat and other toppings on them. My fiancé had a burger and fries which he really enjoyed. Honestly VERY expensive compared to most places. 2 beers, 1 appetizer, 2 meals over $100 before tip. One other thing I like is they give you a complimentary pickle upon request. I only enjoy this because I do not like pickles so It was nice knowing it wouldn't be there. read more

I had the chicken caprice for almost $20 It came out with a chunk of chicken in the middle of a pita. After 4 bites i finally got to the chicken which was fat and grisly. When the 18 year old waitress finally came back, my wife was done and I said the was not good chicken, I could not eat it. She returned with the pillow almost $100 for 2 sandwiches and 4 beers. I pushed no tip 2x and the only % it would take is 20% read more

We were seated quickly, however it took several minutes to receive water and even longer to receive our drink order & lemon for our water. We ordered the tuna wonton appetizer, and although presentation was nice, it was very disappointing, as the wontons were stale & chewy. The fish fry was huge & more than enough for two. It was crunchy with tender, perfectly cooked fish inside. We felt like the waitress lacked training and at times seemed confused about where orders belonged. If you're looking for a leisurely, mediocre meal (and most EBC brewed beverages lean toward flat) that is rather overpriced, EBC Bemus is for you. Admittedly, the view is absolutely lovely and their landscaper deserves accolades for the gorgeous flowers. read more

We were celebrating a dual birthday with friends and family and decided to go to EBC in Bemus point. We were met by a host (John) and we're sat on the outdoor patio very quickly with 9 guests. Sarah was our waitress and she was great. She knew the menu and was accommodating to any of our requests. The place was clean and had a great ambiance. The food was delicious (I had the beef on weck). Their were food runners that helped our waitress which helped deliver great food in a very timely manner. Our friends and family were quite pleased with our visit to EBC at Bemus point and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to eat. No pictures to share as we were to busy enjoying the accommodations and ambiance. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Ellicottville Brewing at Bemus Point. We had a high table for 10 by the open garage doors. The entrance though...with the flowers...was gorgeous! We had a very attentive waitress and tons of great food. My husband and I both got the Beef on Weck with fries and slaw...a little bit of an extra salty bun but great flavors. My sister in law got the Chicken Cecilia and LOVED it read more

Great location, atmosphere and service. The beer was good, the menu looked amazing but our meals were just okay. We started with traditional bar appetizers, pretzels, dips and pita. Once we placed our entree orders confusion started, plates were mixed up, burgers were cold and overcooked yo no fault of our server. But the view somehow made up for it all. Will try it again. read more

Ellicottville Brewing in Bemus has stepped up their game. The dinner I ordered was absolutely delicious. Our waitress, Molly, was one of the best I ever experienced. She was happy and attentive. Having live music made for a wonderful experience. Make sure to put this establishment on your must go list read more

From the service to the food, everything was A+. I had two beers the "summer dreams" and "the charge". Both were tasty and cold. The service was excellent. Friendly, fast, and attentive. Had the pub burger with truffle fries. UPGRADE TO THE TRUFFLE FRIES. Can't emphasize that enough. They were soooooo good. The environment and vibe was great. Will definitely be back. Best restaurant on the lake in Bemus. Awesome spot!!!!! read more

The ambiance of this place is awesome. The entire patio overlooks the lake. Absolutely gorgeous. The beer was good. Good was fine. Good service. Check this place out when coming to Lake Chautauqua ! read more

Preseason so not busy. New menus and stand by. Prices have escalated substantially- over $20 for a burger? Ordered a chicken salad croissant. Comes with fries/ tots. Apple slices had been placed on top of the salad. Had been soaking in pure lemon juice. Yuck. The greens in the sandwich were wilted- must have been a weekend leftover. Yuck. The beef on deck was okay. Grateful for that. Opted to skip the mediocre ~$15 wine selections that recouped their cost on a single glass. Not in a rush to return. read more

Went to Ellcottville Brewing for dinner this evening view was beautiful but, I was very dissatisfied with my dinner had the Maine Shrimp roll on the menu stated Gulf Shrimp the shrimp canned no type of dressing the waiter told me they were large shrimp they cut up very disappointing. I did ask for some ranch dressing so I could eat some of it. read more

It was a sunny Fall afternoon and we wanted to try this brewery after shopping in the quaint little town. The outside seating area was an absolute wreck with every table stacked with glasses and unbussed plates. We ordered inside and enjoyed a beer at a small table outside. The beers were pretty good. read more

My wife and I had dinner at this restaurant over the weekend. They had live music, which was a nice mix of classic and contemporary songs and the volume was just right where you could still enjoy a conversation. The food and service were excellent. We ordered the Southwest rice bowl, and ultimate steak sandwich. The rice bowl had excellent flavor and was definitely a full meal; would absolutely order that again. The steak sandwich had much more grilled steak on it then I expected, and the steak was very tender and perfectly prepared. The sandwich was on custom bread which was the perfect combination of soft bread with a great crusty exterior. I also ordered a side salad to replace the french fries; was a really good salad with multiple ingredients and a great homemade ranch dressing. Our waitress was also excellent, and moved us to a different table at our request, with a better review of the entertainment. We will definitely return and recommend it to friends in the area. read more

Great Location - They do have parking also, but because we came when they had fireworks, parking was crazy. We parked a few blocks away and it wasn't too bad. We expected to wait since there were people everywhere, but since we chose to eat indoors, we were seated right away. Our server took our order right away, but it was a little slow on the drinks and the food. But that was expected with the Holiday. We sat near the bar and the bartenders worked for their money today. Food was awesome. My hubby had a burger and I had beef on weck. I could have split the beek on weck with 3 people - lots of beef. My husband's burger was huge as well. Our drinks were really good and full of flavor. Peach sangria was so good. Hubbys old fashion was good, 2nd one was even better. We also had appetizers and dessert. Taters tots are a must. So good to share. We had the bourbon cake sans the nutella due to allergies, but still very good. View from the inside awesome. Great place, employees and vibes read more

The restaurant is very nice and open inside. I got the blueberry beer which is very tasty! Then I tried the blood orange beer, it was good but the blueberry was better. Then I ordered the fountain cheese burger that came with fried pickles but also got a side of the raisin coleslaw. The burger was really good and hearty, have to eat it with a fork and knife though. The pickle spears had a bit of a kick but wasn't bad at all. The coleslaw with golden raisins was really good. Unfortunately the waitress would just disappear and didn't really check on us which was a bit of a downfall. Overall it was good. read more

First time in Bemus Point as we are staying in town for the weekend with some friends. We were looking for an option for a family-friendly option, and a brewery usually meets the bill, as was the case here. The food was... Okay. In particular, I ordered the Nashville hot chicken mac n cheese, which was such a strong (sweet) mustard flavor and not a great consistency. The chicken was cooked well, but this wasn't Nashville hot sauce, it was a pretty mediocre ketchup textured sauce. This was only saved by the calamari appetizer that was stellar - somewhere between a general tso and sweet and sour sauce, and perfectly crispy. We enjoyed the beer as well, nothing stood out but all of the options were solid. Our waitress was attentive, although we had a few strange interactions with the other staff including the host. The building, outdoor seating and the view are beautiful though. read more

Updating my review as we visited again a few years later. We stopped for lunch yesterday and it was very good. We were immediately seated despite the fact that we arrived during prime lunch hours. I ordered the pulled pork, my hubby the fried chicken sandwich and my daughter ordered the chicken tenders. I also tried the blood orange hefeweizen. Everything was great and our waitress was so friendly. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean for the amount of people coming in and out. We sat on the front patio. You really can't beat the view and the weather was just perfect. I'm sure we will be back when we are in town next! read more

I was out scouting locations for an upcoming family event, and this came well recommended. The reason for a one star review is the following: The menu has no prices listed on the beer, or on the dessert. When I asked about this, I was told "all drafts are $8". Pricey but not hideous. But, alas, not transparent. And yet, a nefarious business practice. Seems like you're hiding something. Or, possibly presumptuous, as in "don't worry about the cost of the beer. We, as a business, have no obligation to make this information public." Either way, I don't trust an establishment like this for a large family reunion. It doesn't matter how the food or service is, even though both were decent. My large catering event will be held elsewhere. read more

This is a cool restaurant in Bemus, right off of Chautauqua Lake. The service was a little slow to begin with, but our server apologized and made up for it by comping our drinks! The food was not AMAZING, but definitely not bad. My husband had the fish tacos with a side salad which I thought was pretty good! The tacos could've used a little more spice, but they weren't bad! Our friend had a hamburger and said it was fine, just a little dry. I ordered the Cyprus Salad with grilled chicken. Pretty good, but it needed a little more of a dressing, perhaps a zesty Greek vinaigrette would've been good with it! The chicken was a little dry, but not bad. For drinks, I had the skinny Razz Matazz. So yum!! It's pretty much a raspberry vodka lemonade, but I really enjoyed it. Overall, a decent experience in this small town! read more

Food was good and the view of Lake Chautauqua is beautiful. My pull pork was delicious and with generous amount on the sandwich. The brie was cold but we asked them to warm it (as it should be spreadable). The beer is the draw to this place. Strawberry Crunch? Yes indeed. Get you some! Great family place with plenty of seating. Parking available. Service with a smile, helpful and fast. The prices for food are $$-$$$ so prepare for that. read more

Visited twice during a recent visit to the area. Would not recommend getting a salad and adding protein. The protein portions are small and not worth what was charged. All other food was excellent. read more

Service was excellent! I wish I would have remembered the waiters name. Food excellent! I had an NA blueberry beer & a salad that had fresh greens, pistachios, watermelon chunks, blueberries, goat or feta cheese & balsamic dressing. Had 2 meals out of it so the $20 not bad for tourist town. I wish they had purse hooks in the stalls for the women's restroom, that was my only tip for them. :-) read more

Beautiful place with good food and drinks. The layout and decorations are very nicely done and the gardens are to die for. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating options. This place is trendy and a bit overpriced seeing you are across the street from the water and don't get the best view. Also a bit commercialized for the otherwise mom and pop area if you are looking for small town charm. They check your temperature on a machine that scans your body heat on the way in. There is also a hand washing station outside complete with soap and paper towels. The workers are all wearing masks and I felt safe being there. We came for drinks and had the Pinot Grigio wine slushy and a beer. The wine slushy was very refreshing and delicious. We had to order food due to covid so our group chose the crispy chicken thighs and nachos. Both food items were tasty and a decent portion size for a hearty snack. Also to note some of the somewhat strange things we encountered: -Areas on the front patio are near sewage pipes. Our first table was placed here but we were fortunate enough to be able to move because it wasn't super busy and there was an open table available. Regardless still gross! -Finally, we thought it was strange that we went to buy a gift card on the way out and they charge for the actual card on top of the amount you are gifting. read more

EBC is a favorite. I love the food and atmosphere at both locations. My husband loves the beer, blueberry is his go to. Chautauqua lake is a beautiful backdrop. This restaurant is right on the lake, and in the heart of the small town shops of Bemus point. It has hints of Alex Bay and Marthas Vineyard. With all of that said, eating during COVID did not go as planned. It was my first experience eating at a sit down restaurant since reopening, and I was disappointed. People were seated back to back in the booths. TOO CLOSE. I asked for a drink menu and our waitress grabbed a plastic one off the dirty table of people that just left. The bus boy had his mask on his chin. And although they have a temperature station, it's not monitored or enforced. No one took our temperature. Maybe this was all a fluke, idk if the rain had anything to do with our experience. I'd still go back and recommend it, but my expectations would be different read more

This brewery is new to Bemus Point and it is amazing! The food, drink, ambience and view is nearly impossible to beat. For anyone who has busted this area for years, it's the old "Surfside" restraint/bar tuned into a rustic/ modern work of art while keeping the beautiful Bemus old town feel on the corner of our 1 blinking light. Coming from the Bemus family makes me proud to still visit and see the charm remains. Blood orange beer- awesome! Grilled chicken caprese perfect to split if you are not super hungry. read more

We loved the outdoor seating overlooking the lake. We ordered the Shrimp Roll and Pulled Pork Mac. Both were good, but it was hard to eat that much Mac & Cheese!

Our experience here was pretty terrible. We were there with our big family (full of admittedly picky eaters). We asked if the fried chicken sandwich was brined in pickle juice and was told it was not. So we ordered 2, at 19.99 each. 40$ later, the sandwiches arrived and were '*definitely* brined in pickle juice. We only took 1 bite and left the rest untouched. The waitress noticed we didn't eat our dinners and we told her the problem... Rather than replacing the food or taking them off the bill, she told us because there wasn't anything "technically wrong" with the food, they couldn't do anything about it?!? What?!!? I was pretty disappointed especially because we asked before ordering. Would've been a simple fix, but instead left us hungry and 40$ poorer. Try The Fish across the street (it's on the water!) or the Casino by the ferry. Both those restaurants went above and beyond to make sure we left happy. It's sad when the ol dark "surf club" worked harder and left us happier (at a fraction of the price) than EBC. read more

Went on a Saturday. The beer flight was fantastic! Our waitress Madison was friendly, helpful & just an absolute delight. We sat outside with a gorgeous view. Sadly the food was pretty mediocre tho. The husband got the blackened fish tacos which weren't even close to being blackened. I got the quesadillas which wasn't bad just not great. That being said, I'd go back again but probably just for the drinks, service & view. read more

With so many less than stellar operations having been located here within recent years I couldn't have been more delight than to see that Ellicottville Brewing On Chautauqua having taken the place over. Though I miss the days of the Surf Club and Junie Schenck the other businesses that followed were total nonpluses for me. Indeed, I really feel that Ellicottville Brewing On Chautauqua has brought some new and refreshing life to this corner spot of Bemis. I stopped by and was delighted by the number and varieties of custom crafted brews. I had a number of them and found them all to be refreshing delights. I also tried their English Pub Burger which came rare as I had ordered it with a good layer of caramelized onion, bacon and English cheddar (my bet is it came from Cuba, New York) cheese with a creamy horseradish. At $14.95 and being able to sit on their outside patio with a view of the lake, it made for a most delightful meal. read more
