The Pub in Jamestown is a true local classic -- family-owned, cozy, and full of character. I first…read morediscovered it when I moved to the area back in 1999, and it's been one of my favorites ever since. The ambiance is exactly what you want from a long-time Jamestown staple -- warm, comfy, and full of local relics and memories on the walls. It feels like home the moment you walk in. The food is homemade and always hits the spot. Their soups change daily and are consistently delicious, and my absolute favorite thing on the menu is the eggplant parm sandwich -- seriously, so good. Everything is made with love and tradition. Even though I don't make it there as often these days, The Pub will always be one of those timeless Jamestown spots I'll keep coming back to.

We went in during breakfast time, so we only had their breakfast menu to choose from. We got the…read moreFrench Toast and the Gin Mill Brunch Burger. The Fresh Toast was absolutely delicious. Possibly the best French Toast I've ever had. It's egg battered which is a plus. They also give you plenty of syrup and butter. I got the Gin Mill Brunch Burger because I was craving some burgers, but I didn't know they had a separate breakfast menu, so I went with the brunch burger, which sounded good. It's a normal burger but with egg and instead of using regular burger buns, they use a bagel. It also comes with diced hash browns which were very flavorful. As much as I love burgers, this one just wasn't as good as I hoped. Mainly because of the bagel, which was harder than your typical burger bun. The burger was also lacing some flavor. Our server was also very nice and explained everything to us. The interior is also very nice and has a historic atmosphere with lots of taxidermy.

I'd heard that we wouldn't be experiencing much in the way of fall color on our Ellicottville…read morejaunt, but brown is a fall color, right? Oh, well. At least they have plenty of bars. Very good beer menu, despite there being no Scotch ale. Boo! One friend was very happy to find Sam's Cherry Wheat among the selections. I made do with a Prosecco from their decent wine list. I wish I'd remembered that I wasn't all that thrilled with the crab cake at Public House on the Lake. Not that it's bad. Just not the "jumbo lumps" I prefer in a crab cake. Cajun aioli - yum. The friend that ordered the steak sandwich cooked medium received it well done, but said it tasted good. And she's really picky about her beef. Stinger sandwich and chicken fingers were pronounced fine. French fries were not. Shoestring isn't my favorite cut, but these were limp and greasy. Wet potatoes? Oil not hot enough? French fries shouldn't be this hard to get right. Minor complaints: no blueberries in the EBC blueberry wheat. For shame. You're right next door to its birthplace! And serving a souffle cup with the lid still on is just a wee bit tacky. YES, I'm picky. And proud of it.

The bartender was super friendly and gave us some good tips on what to do locally. She also made us some "special shots" that we really loved. So much so that we ended up ordering a second round of them. She really knows how to pour a good drink. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the place, who was a very lovely woman. She told us a little bit about the history of the place and was very welcoming towards us. Her father was "Jack" from whom they got the name of the place from. We did also order some appetizers while we were there. I ordered the pizza log which was really good. It's comparable to an egg roll but with pizza inside. Delicious! My boyfriend ordered some fries and enjoyed them as well. Good food, good drinks and good company. We had a great time here and will definitely be back. If you get the chance to check this place out, go for it! You won't regret it.

I was finally able to come inside and enjoy a drink at the Foxglove! I've made several attempts but…read moresince it's so small with very limited seating there is usually no room. First of all let me say this place is decorated beautifully. It looks like something concocted from a sweet daydream of a book lover. There are all kind of books and stained glass details which are beautiful. It also happens to have some pretty tasty cocktails which is a plus. Their menu is not updated on any of their pages so I can't remember what I ordered. It was a cocktail that mixed crisp, dry white wine, some kind of spirit and club soda. It was refreshing, interesting and light yet had just enough flavor to make it unique. The service was good. There were 2 bartenders that night who were helpful, attentive and friendly. There are a few tables with umbrellas outdoors in the front. A bar and some tables on the first floor inside and a metal spiral staircase which has a few small tables on the 2nd floor. Def not a great place for groups. Try and come at an odd time to get a seat.
