    The Antenaeum Hotel

    Adequate...Nothing to brag about and nothing to complain about. This restaurant is in the Athenaeum Hotel. It has an expansive porch for outside dining and inside is available as well. I decided to check it out for lunch on a stroll checking out Chautauqua Institution grounds. The service was slow (but what place isn't with all the labor challenges thst the tourism industry is dealing with). But once served the staff was delightful despite being stretched thin. I ordered a cocktail, The Lakeside Vodka, Lemongrass Syrup, Orgeat, Lime...which was delicious. I had the Seafood Lobster Roll Creamy lobster salad, fennel, frisée, dill gougères for my main course. It was average at best. All is all is was adequate - Nothing to brag about, nothing to complain about.

    We were looking for a place to eat lunch before heading to Panama Rocks and wanted to make sure we had a place that was open and following restrictions during COVID, and Heirloom stood out for its porchside dining! This restaurant is located within the Hotel Athenaeum (which is itself located within the Chatauqua Institution and required us to check in at the main gate to access inside). The building itself is a beautiful wooden structure with a grand two story porch as the setting for the meal, overlooking sparkling Chatauqua Lake which made for a lovely view. For lunch service they were not busy at all and the servers were wearing masks and gloves which was reassuring. There was plenty of space between tables as well. The food itself was fairly decent. We ordered the chicken Cobb salad, the snap pea salad, and the smoked brisket along with fries and a mac and cheese for the kids. The salads were fresh and flavorful, and the dressings went well with the salads. The mac and cheese was also very creamy and tasty with a panko crust on top to give it a bit of crunch. However, my husband was disappointed with the smoked brisket which rather tough and not as tender as we were expecting, although the flavor was good. In short, I give it high ratings for the lovely setting and grounds, which are very nice to walk around either before or after a meal. The food was okay, and a bit overpriced considering the quality. However, I could see coming here just for the overall experience!

    The restaurant is not bad. The appetizer and dessert were absolutely delicious. The main entree were a hit and miss. I got the pasta with chicken and it was pretty plain, my husband got the beef short rib and really enjoyed it. Beautiful views on the porch of the lake!

    The dining area on the veranda

    Dining on the wide porch overlooking the lake was spectacular but the buffet items were dried out (chicken cordon bleu, penne pasta) or a congealed, lumpy mess (penny-sized shrimp Alfredo sauce). Dessert buffet items were plentiful but uninspired. On the plus side, the drink menu included mocktails and the wait staff was warm and attentive.

    The food was an absolute delicious We ordered the Steak sandwich, seafood chimichanga, which was…read morebeautifully presented and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were big and recommended by friends and it didn't disappoint.

    Very disappointed with the service at Guppy's, especially since our family has been coming here for…read moreover 20 years. We sat for dinner at 6pm; one or two other tables were outside along with us. Our server, when giving us our drinks, apologized and stated she basically forgot about us... which seemed to be how the whole night ended up! We got an appetizer that was served with our drinks, and it took 30 minutes to arrive. We ordered our food, waiting and watching as at least 6 tables were seated. They all had gotten their food before we did, and they arrived at least 10-30 mins after us. The owner comes over and notices the sour look on our faces and states she will go figure out our food order... After watching more tables get their food we decided to ask for our food to go as this is now an hour and fifteen minutes since we've been sat. The owner then states that because we got an appetizer, our food took longer... but the tables that arrived after us got their appetizer AND meal before we got our meal. One of them was even getting their check while we still hadn't gotten our food. Our server checked on us probably one time, and no apologies were given for the wait. The owner states that "it's dinner rush and Saturday night, everyone came in at the same time," which I understand the first part, but no ma'am, they came at least 10+ minutes after we had already been seated. The owner barely apologized for the whole time we were sitting waiting, being ignored, and even told us our food had been sitting on the counter... for who knows how long! She then "so kindly" removed the appetizer from our check. Two of the orders we took home were incorrect, leaving this whole situation even more frustrating. Very displeased with the service, but the owner herself and we won't be returning!
