    3.5 star. My Buffalo Quesadilla was so empty. Less than 1 tender on it for $15+ Great flavor, but total ripoff. Small glass of house wine $7 Good fish sandwich. Good tots. It was 90 degrees that day. They had windows and doors open with no ac. We were sweating while we ate inside trying to avoid the heat. Very nice staff. It wasn't busy at all. We had to wait 25 mins for our food. 15 mins for drink refills. 15+mins(we finally sent the hostess to find our waitress) for our bill after eating. The place was very clean.

    We've been coming to the Village Casino for years during our annual Chautauqua family vacations, and make sure to visit at least once. I've been to wing nights, live music, and even participated in the Guinness World Record held here. Tonight was a sunny Friday, we were helped within a minute of arriving and seated where we wanted outside by the docks. I ordered a berry mojito with Beef on Weck and tater tots. Everyone in the group was satisfied with their order and enjoyed watching the boats come in and out. Our server was also very kind and attentive without being overbearing.

    Mostly disappointed in the kids food. Paid $11 for the kids tenders... not worth the amount given

    Gluten free menu

    This place is worth it just for the video from the back deck, you're pretty much right on the lake and we spent lunch just watching boats go bye. Our waitress was amazing, super attentive- I asked if they had gluten free buns and she supplied me with an entire gluten free menu!! The food was good and not over priced, I know a lot of places like this you pay for the view more than the food, but not this place!

    We came by for a drink. The view on the deck is beautiful, you are right out on the lake. The view itself was 5 stars. During covid we had to order food for the table. There were not any easy to order options for just grabbing a drink under covid rules. And the food didn't look good enough that you would want to stay for a meal. We ended up ordering the chicken lips. I am still not sure why they were called this. They looked like random scraps of fried chicken, it was not obvious what part of the animal they came from. The service was just ok. For the price they are charging I'd suggest trying another place in town with better food.

    Good food, good drinks, great service from Jason! Next trip back this way we will be back. Hopefully we will have Jason as our server again!

    Beautiful view overlooking Chautauqua Lake. The food was ok and a bit pricey for portion sizes. We had a new waiter and he did his best. Started out with spinach and artichoke dip and it was good. I had fish fry for dinner and it was good but definitely not worth the $17. Homemade tarter sauce was good. My daughter had burger and it was $16 and nothing special.

    Steak Quesadilla with optional tatie tots.  My friend Phyllis said, "Best Value in Bemus."

    I highly recommend this restaurant. A gentleman was playing the piano with true passion and…read morehappiness. He was playing jazz and singing his little heart out really put a smile on my face. All the folks working were working very hard. There was no one standing around goofing off. Everyone seemed to be working toward showing all the guests, a wonderful time. The view of the lake with the door open and the decor and the color and the people I really felt like I was in New York City or something not granted I'm not really a flying fat cat, but I did feel like that. To the food I don't know what to say. The food in the cocktails were something that I did not expect. I was overwhelmed with the intense creativity and flavor of the drinks the appetizers, the shrimp, the dessert. It was truly one of the nicest experiences that I have had lately. Don't miss out on this Gem.

    On a Sunday, the website said piano music of Elton John and Billy Joel. There was a banner outside…read morethe restaurant saying, "live music tonight." We arrived BECAUSE of the expectation of listening to music while we ate - arrived at our 6:30 pm reservation. After we were seated, we were told, "the piano guy didn't show up." We were upset about the nonchalant way we were blown-off. Now, we had decent drinks + food BUT I don't think we'll return this season. No response to my Facebook message despite banner saying we'd hear back within 48 hours. Poorly handled all around. Should also mention we were not the only unhappy people as a couple of parties left after finding out there was no music. Very disappointed and can not recommend (anymore). UPDATE after owner comment: she says, communication was "not up to my liking" - ouch! My "liking" would have been something along the lines of "we're truly sorry but the scheduled pianist has taken ill." I would also have removed the flag outside saying "music tonight." YOU put the message on Facebook that you would respond within 48 hours. After my issue, you changed your message to "call us, don't expect a replay as we're busy". Really? Yes, better communication at the restaurant would have definitely made our dining experience more enjoyable. After setting expectations (Facebook reply time) - meeting them would have made me pause in writing this review :) Better training for the staff IS in order - it would not take a lot of effort to get everyone on the same message. In the end, this is not a huge deal. We're (merely) more disappointed after your response. We wish you well as past experiences have been fine. We'll move on for this season - and will probably try again next.

    Update (2026): Last year I gave Heirloom three stars because I loved the setting but thought the…read morefood fell well short of the experience. This year, our friends told us they had a great meal here, so we decided to give it another try. I'm really glad we did. The menu felt much fresher, with several interesting choices. I ordered the risotto, and while I wish it had been served a little hotter, it was delicious. The salmon was also excellent. At the end of dinner, I asked our server if Heirloom had hired a new chef because the food was so much better than I remembered. She said it was the same chef, but the team had worked together to improve this season's menu. Mission accomplished. I'm happy to update my rating to five stars. If you're staying at the Athenaeum, Heirloom is once again a restaurant I'd recommend.

    Some of the prior reviews were of concern, but we had no other choice today if we wanted to eat…read moreindoors and experience the insides of the Athenaeum Hotel. We ended up quite satisfied ... delighted, even. We were greeted by the hostess, and seated promptly (this was important because we had a bit of time pressure), and had a very short wait for the server (Miranda, who will feature prominently later in this review!). We ordered, the strawberry/charred-peach/burrata/arugula salad for me, the ahi-guacamole + chips for my spouse (it was a light lunch that was needed). The food came promptly, and meanwhile another staff person had come by to verify that we didn't need to order drinks. The food was delicious, although I have just a couple small complaints: the guacamole overpowered the ahi tuna, so I think they'd be wiser to have the ahi in larger chunks. When the server came by to ask how we were doing, I mentioned that I liked the salad very much, but was disappointed to have only one strawberry (4 slices) on the salad. Miranda said, "Let me get you some more." She returned soon after with a small bowl of sliced strawberry (still only one, but I was pleased with her response and the good taste of these Albions -- which normally make a nice color appearance but rarely have good flavor). Anyway, if you are looking for a cheap lunch, go grab a sandwich at the other lunch venues. If you are looking for an experience -- the views outside of the lake and and boats, etc; the spacious dining room with overhead fans; the attentive but not intrusive service -- then do come here. At least for the lunch menu, I can recommend it very highly. And ask Miranda for an extra strawberry...

The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had breakfast in the restaurant, where the service was excellent and the food was as well.

We would definitely visit both the restaurant and bar again.

    Twice Disappointed…read more We have now dined at this restaurant on two separate occasions, and unfortunately, both experiences left us very unimpressed--especially for a restaurant located in such a nice hotel and charging these prices. Our first experience was lunch in the spring of 2026 while we were staying at the hotel. We were extremely impressed with the hotel itself--the room, staff, and location were wonderful--so naturally we expected the restaurant to be of comparable quality. Sadly, it was not. Our food came out fairly quickly, but it was cold, and several items we ordered were missing. We then had to wait quite a while for someone to return so we could ask for the missing items and condiments, which were definitely needed to help the already subpar flavor. We left disappointed but decided perhaps it was simply an off day. We gave the restaurant another chance in August 2026 while celebrating my father-in-law's 89th birthday. Since this was dinner service, we hoped for a much better experience. His prime rib was actually very good, with no complaints other than the mashed potatoes being served cold. I ordered the Charbroiled Frenched Pork Chop, and unfortunately, it was awful. It had very little flavor and was dry and badly overcooked. The three onion rings served with it were rock hard, overcooked, and cold. They tasted as though they had been deep-fried much earlier and left sitting rather than being prepared fresh. I did send the onion rings back, but I chose not to send the pork chop back because I didn't want my 89-year-old father-in-law, who tires easily, to have to sit and wait while my meal was remade on his birthday. The coffee was another disappointment. At $15, even with a carafe provided, I certainly expected it to at least be hot. It wasn't. Our waiter was adequate and did nothing particularly wrong, but the level of service simply didn't match what I would expect at this price point. The interaction lacked the warmth, attentiveness, and polish you would normally associate with a higher-end dining experience. After two visits with many of the same issues--cold food, poorly prepared food, missing items, and service that doesn't match the prices--I don't think we can chalk this up to one bad night. The hotel itself is lovely, which makes the restaurant even more disappointing. With its location and atmosphere, this restaurant has the potential to be very good, but the kitchen and service need considerable attention. At these prices, guests should be able to expect freshly prepared, properly cooked, hot food accompanied by attentive service. Sadly, twice disappointed.
