One full moon night i went to Donnies and got a quesadilla with wings but the quesadilla tasted like a tortellini. The small wooden boxes that they put our food in needs to GO. There is no space in them to fit multiple different foods. The customer service is MAGICAL. GRETA IS A PRINCESS QUEEN. One day i saw a worker with glitter under their eyes dressed as a mermaid...i didn't question it because wow fashion. Donnies is very very spacious and sometimes they hold events which is pretty cool. Having a unlimited meal plan is amazing because it stops my bank account dropping like a submarine. There are so many food options at Donnies. This is truly the best place to get late night food (also the only place). YOU BETTER GO!!!

Kids menu too, very reasonable priced which I was surprised. My husband ordered an appetizer platter with his meal. He liked almost everything, but the potato skins tasted chemically- he didn't eat those. I had a buffalo chicken salad. It had very little veggies in it, not enough dressing. And the chicken (which I had asked for crispy came out grilled.) it was a little underwhelming for the $55 price tag for my family. I may go back in the future. The place was very nice, just wasn't super impressed with the food.

It was pretty good for being a college go-to spot. We had the wings with italian hot sauce, steak panini, mac & cheese bites, and a chicken panini. Everything was pretty solid.

We were so impressed! It's very clean for a bar and the outside is beautifully finished. We had a blue moon and a burger-- it was one of the best burgers i've ever had from a restaurant. The bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming. Nice vibes all around from this little hole in the wall spot... can't wait to return on a date night :)

This was our first time to The Nest. We were interested in checking out their outdoor concert…read morearea. We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.

I cannot say enough good things about the owner and staff of Hotel Solsville…read more We had a fundraising event / benefit there last night and we were completely floored by the generosity of these folks. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure everything went without a hitch. We have been to Hotel Solsville quite often to watch the live bands, have dinner and drinks, we've ALWAYS had a great time. There are two different sides of the establishment, the dining room where they have a pretty comprehensive menu and offer a prime rib buffet on Saturday evenings. The bar offers a complete bar and a pub menu. The food at Solsville is always fresh and flavorful, well prepared and great quality. I highly recommend Hotel Solsville, even if you're not local to the area, it's worth making a trip.

I preferred outside, but there was a 40-45 minute wait on that gorgeous evening. She explained there was a walk-up bar and snack shack available while I waited for a table, but I opted for indoors. I was seated centrally in the lively restaurant, which featured a bar, an open kitchen, large TVs showing ESPN, and a bustling team keeping everything moving. My server promptly offered me a menu and took my drink order. I sampled the Meet Me at Midnight cider infused with black Hawaiian sea salt, blackberries, black currants, and black cherries. After that, I chose the cider along with blackened mahi fish tacos--fried to perfection with a tangy slaw. My server checked in frequently; service was quick but never rushed. As a solo diner, I felt completely comfortable despite the bustling Friday crowd made up of families, couples, and friends."

First visit this summer, was very impressed. Large outdoor "beer garden" seating area. Kid…read morefriendly. I wanted to stay inside (mosquitos are always an issue in the evening), so they have a really nice tap room area as well as their dining area. You might start with their award-winning American Brown Ale. I was very pleased with how well made this ale was, with real depth and richness without any cloying sweetness. I followed it up with a Pomegranate Odyssey, a wild fermented sour ale. If you like sour ales, as I do, you should like this, although I've had more strikingly sour ones. This, however, nicely balances just a slight sweetness of pomegranate with the sour ferment. Their veggie burger is very good, although it's not made in-house. Still, it's a quality burger. Perhaps it's changed since my visit, but the veggie burger was served only on a gluten-free roll. Like somehow they'd cover the vegetarians and the gluten-free crowd in one dish, like feeding two birds with one crumb. But I'd prefer a regular, wheat-based roll. Fries were excellent, too. But what really made them stand out was the excellent service and friendly staff. I was alone, and the manager and bar tend both chatted with me, but without being intrusive. Really great people I was happy to get to know a little bit, and they were quite willing share info with me about the menu and brews, as this was my first visit. Very walkable from downtown Hamilton or even from the main Colgate U. campus. Sidewalks or pathways are available to keep off the main road, Rte. 128. No need for the designated driver! Will be back!

Sat at the bar as I was alone but there were tables inside and picnic tables outside for a variety of seating options. I was offered water immediately with my menu. I sampled the Berry Sour Seltzer which tasted great. Not too fruity and too bitter. I ordered a glass. The food offerings were limited to one side of the menu, half being appetizers and half being meals. I was a bit surprised by the cost of the Elk Burger ($29) but made that my choice as I wanted more than an appetizer but good comfort food. It came with smoked gouda, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo on a thick yet soft bun. Salad greens coated with balsamic dressing accompanied the burger (fries were available for an up charge). One bite told me I'd made the correct choice and the price was worth it. The burger (ordered medium well) was hot and juicy and the bun did a great job of balancing that without falling apart or getting soggy. The Gouda cheese had such great flavor and it was in the perfect state of warm but not melt-coated into the burger. My water was consistently refilled and I sat there and enjoyed every bite of that burger and salad while I drank my Seltzer.
