Ellicottville Brewing On Chautauqua

Stopped in after a day on the lake. Enjoyed this establishment very much!Granted we stuck with beers and appetizers but everything was very good. The beer selection was excellent!What made the trip extra special however was the staff. Specifically our sever Katie. She was so friendly and welcoming. Truly a gem and an asset to the Ellicottville brewery.Not sure when we will be back in the area but when we are we will definitely stop back to enjoy a full meal.

I had some of their beer previously in a local beer restaurant, and it wasn 't what I had expected, so I thought I 'd try it again at their brewery. It wasn 't any better. I got the spicy chicken sandwich, which really wasn 't spicy. They offered a Nashville hot oil to kick things up, which I tried. It had a spicy kick in the after taste, but the initial bite was very plain breaded chicken. The redeeming item was their fries, which were seasoned very well with a kind of Cajun seasoning blend. Overall, I 'm not sure I 'd go back. They 're very pricey given the quality of food.Edit: specifically, I didn 't like the blueberry wheat. I tasted the wheat, but I couldn 't discern any blueberry flavor. It 's the second time I tried that specific beer, the other time at On Tap in Medina, Ohio. Both times it lacked the blueberry flavor.

The food took 40 minutes to arrive, which would be fine if it were good, but it wasn’t. My medium burger was overcooked and dry. My mother-in-law's steak was tough and hard to chew, and my husband’s grilled chicken sandwich didn’t contain a grilled chicken breast; it was made with baked chicken pieces and had just one sad slice of tomato. I don’t mind paying reasonable prices for good food, but what we experienced today was terrible and a complete letdown. I have no idea why this place is so popular.

Great location opposite the lake. we got a nice terrace table with a view. our waitress has made a great job and has often reviewed us. I liked the drink selection, and I tried a few different beer options, both excellent. eating was good and there is a choice.

Delicious food on the menu! Great service too. Do they have outdoor seating?
