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.

The Tap Room has long been a frequent stop of mine as it is one of the places where "everyone knows…read moremy name". I have not written a review for this eclectic, gem of a dive bar until now because I didn't want my review to be biased and based on the fact that I know the owners/operators and love them dearly. Things have changed for this watering hole recently, however, and it is worth writing about. The Tap Room has now incorporated food into their offerings to patrons beyond nuts, chips, and Tap Room Cheese & Crackers that are a staple at this joint. The grill is officially open and it is a must-try if you are in the area. The cook, Chad, is killing it. The burgers are phenomenal. Homemade patties with delicious seasonings done right. The options on the menu are packed with flavor and they have many to choose from. Be sure to try the TRB if you can handle the kick. My other half says it is one of the best burgers he has ever eaten, and he knows his burgers. The wings... they are served whole, as in not broken down into smaller pieces. By doing this, Chad preserves a lot of the natural juices and the end product is so tender you have to try them to understand. Order the "house" wings the first time you are there. They will blow you your mind. **UPDATE** The grill is no longer open at the Tap Room on a regular basis, but they still do food for special occasions (Bills games, Superbowl, etc.). If you are looking for a place to grab a quick libation on your travels, the full bar won't disappoint.

Can we get this in a Michelin guide for those traveling to Chautauqua or Lily Dale? What did we have? A perfectly juicy selection of lobster tail full of its own sweetness resting on top of a bed of pappardelle pasta bathing in saffron cream and sweet summer corn for pops of texture. A lumpy deep fried crab cake that crackled on the outside and then fell apart into juicy flakes upon breaking the fried shell. A sour dough bread with herbed butter that melted between the half sliced folds holding it together until fully pulling apart. Iced tea and lemonade Arnold Palmer with flavors that kept us guessing and curious about the added sweet spice profile. Definitely coming back, perhaps every single meal I can when I'm in the area.

Located right smack on the water of Chautauqua Lake's Bemis Bay, the views. The setting and general waterfront ambiance are nearly unbeatable. For 10 years I lived on Lake Chautauqua aboard my 42 Chris and I'd often dock and eat at this location. It was always such a pleasure. Besides its general location on the water, The Fish also has docking, a dock, and a floating bar. Plus, there is a nearby floating bandshell. Unfortunately, The Fish hasn't got much of a menu. Its food is sort of bar food in quality and taste. But for my meal, I had their 16-ounce Prime Rib which was very good and at $29.99 a bargain.
