    What a cute brewery! My husband really liked Irrational Optimism. I had a Saranac soda which was one of the N/A options . When passing by we would gladly go back again.

    Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Tasteful Beer. A relaxing stop to break away from the mundane. Creative and fun. Beer o'clock is now!

    We really liked this friendly little nanobrewery. Dog friendly both inside and out. Selection of Board Games to choose from and occasional visits from food trucks. Samplers are served in a 6-cup muffin tin, 5 beer samples ($9.50) and the 6th is filled with mini pretzels to fulfill food requirement. Good quality beers. Guest Hard Ciders and Finger Lakes wines are also available. Very relaxing place to hang out.

    First timer here, I was not disappointed! I was amazed to see that a brewery took over a former flower shop and ice cream stand that had been vacant for years, and honestly made great use of the space! The interior is lined with dark woods offset by wrought iron, and their quite literal recycling of item into up cycled items is pretty amazing. Wrenches for tap handles? Yup! Muffin tins for flights? Yup! This is a family owned operation, with a plethora of beers for a smaller brewery, with lots of willing to take risks and venture into different styles! 10 of their own beers, ranging from their N.Y. Helles to their Extra Brut IPA, to a stout (An Abundance Of Stout). Mix in their offerings of a brown ale, a NEIPA, a white stout (Misperception) and even an English Bitter, their rounding a nice range! Their Middle Finger Lakes IPA is their canned offering, available at many retail outlets, and a solid offering. Pro tip - don't drink it after their NEIPA (Irrational Optimism) as you wont be able to taste it! They serve pretzels with fights, have popcorn popping, and also offer some small plates (charcuterie) and also a selection of NY wines!

    Fantastic Craft Beer selections made on site. Features local Finger Lakes wines and ciders. Most weekends they offer a food truck for grub but there's a pizza place across the street

    They just had their grand opening last weekend and I can tell they will be a great success! Sometimes breweries can give off an overly rustic feel, but this place is open and airy and I love the Edison light fixtures that fit in perfectly with the "reinvention" theme. The owners are so cute and friendly and are happy to be opening for business in the finger lakes region, where they first met. My fellow beer enthusiast enjoyed the Red IPA, while I had the "Root of Misperception," and I loved the rich, coffee/cacao flavor that was balanced with a light color and "session" qualities. Their flights are served in muffin tins, which pay homage to one of the owners Home Economic teacher roots (adorable). Big windows face the street and make this a great place to people watch while sipping on a pint.

    Excellent staff and management. They have wine in addition to beer, and it's very good. Highly recommend!

    Beer is good. They do have other options than beer. Would like to see food options other than you ordering takeout. Staff is good.

    Beers pretty good, i don't think we didn't enjoy any of their offerings. Food is pricey for what you get but tastes good.

    Richard and I were looking for a lovely place to say goodbye to lake Seneca on our final day of our…read moretrip. We also wanted somewhere to take our pure bred toy poodle, Lady Dionne. because lady Dionne can only eat human food as prescribed by her nutritional and spiritual Guide, Debra. (She's French) "oui" needed a classy joint that would cater to mama d (aka lady Dion) this is why we chose 3812. We had a reservation for 6:45 and we arrived fashionably late (6:48) ready to shove some rah rah down our gullets. My husband Richard had actually prepped his throat by lubing it a teeny bit with his great aunt's special sauce (it's just Olive Garden Italian dressing™) Instead of being led to our table like you would at a normal human restaurant, the child at the counter said "your table is back there go find u you old hag" after we did that and bodied it down at our table we were verbally assaulted as a way of greeting by our waitress. In doing so, lady Dionne let out a yell that was so damn loud, it broke a vase and popped my hernia. After the incident, we took a moment to pursue the menu. The options are as follows: sandwich, taco, burger, knock off Olive Garden. We got two appetizers which arrived before we were even able to order our meals (just to explain the timing of everything) and the food was just okay mamma I'll tell you that. Then it was time for us to wait 3 hours for our food. During this time we begged the gods and our ancestors that we honor on our ofrenda to do something, ANYTHING , so we could get our food soon. We hadn't seen a worker in what felt like years. Then finally it happened, we found a member of staff. Could he read? No. Could he write? Not fully. Was he bipedal! Of course not! But he was the most attentive employee. He also was in fact a chocolate lab. His named was rocky and him and lady Dionne went through an enemies to lovers. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife!! at this point we were getting so ravenous, Richard actually suggested getting a spit roast started at one point so I needed to use my body to protect rocky from his hungry and searching hands . Richard was completely non verbal. I watched in horror as Richard went through his war flashbacks in silence. (This is what happens to Richard when his sugar gets low) we asked rocky to see where the food was. Also just to set the vibe, we were the only people in the restaurant, I learned that the other table were actually just employees!!! (They got served very fast btw) rocky came back and spoke to us in English. He said "I don't know where your food is but I would like to ask lady Dionne for her hand in marriage" After the nuptials were finalized our food finally came. The burger was 8 oz of two inch thick, overcooked and in seasoned beef!!! It was disgusting and lady Dionne agreed. She prefers her purina. The chicken parm is much better at Olive Garden. At least when you are there, they treat you like family. The fries were nasty. the only good item was the stir fry but let's be honest... it's kind of impossible to mess up. This place has a 4.5 on yelp. And I just want to meet some of the girl boss mamas who rated this a five star and asked, who paid them, and how I can also get paid to write good reviews because review writing is something I am very good at as you can tell. At the beginning of the meal, I was actually considering ordering the crème brûlée. But I realized that I ultimately had to chose between ordering a dessert or seeing my grand children grow up. (Because it would take 20 years) anyway this place was not great at all and shouldn't have the rating it does. But I guess because of lady Dionne's nuptials with rocky, we are family. Good thing lady d always does a prenup and her lawyer is on speed dial. my recommendation is to not go here. okay thanks love ya!

    We called 3812 Bistro on an evening to make a reservation. The host mentioned they may be full at…read morethe main seating area, hence confirmed a spot at the covered patio. This is a restaurant connected to Lakeside resort and the residents dine here. We were not staying at the resort. When we arrived, we were seated promptly. We had an awesome view facing the Seneca lake and Hector falls. From our seats, we saw the rains come in. We had light jackets and were able to have an awesome dinner. For the dinner, we had scallops for appetitizer, seared salmon, fish tacos and chicken parmesan. For dessert, we had bread pudding and cheesecake. All delicious and cooked to perfection. They have a puppy called Rocky who visits each table! Well mannered puppy!
