The Beeches Manor, is for anyone that does not appreciate those noisy chain restaurants. And those restaurants with absurdly loud music and patrons. The Dining room staff, is Five Stars. The chef is worthy of a couple Michelin Stars. The food, is probably what royalty is accustomed to. The Beeches Manor, is undoubtedly the best restaurant in the Copper City, and the menu can compete with any fine dining business in Utica, and the Turning Stone. The ceilings are copper-colored, as are the tables, and the bathrooms are copper plated. The bathrooms make you feel as if walking into a past era of richness and luxury. Copper decor, is historic symbolism of the Copper City. My Father had the broiled seafood platter. Mother, had the sea scallops and Risotto. Brother, had the Garlic Rosemary Chicken, which he described as the best he's ever eaten. Me? I had the Pork Osso Bucco. Cooked to perfection. Spiced perfectly. And all shared a mouth-watering stomach-filling plate of Lobster Mac & Cheese and Garlic Parmesan wings. The chicken wings, were not drowning in sauce, making the wings soggy. These wings were crisp, the garlic taste noticeable & not overwhelming, and loaded with freshly grated parmesan cheese. All restaurants, noted in the area for their wings, need make the wings as the Beeches Lodge serves'em. Best-of-all was the Dining staff. Not intrusive at all. And they give you however much time and assistance you need to decide upon a menu selection, and do not rush you to consume a meal, as many of these atrocious chain restaurants do, when their only goal is to serve as many customers as possible, per night, with frozen, pre-packaged foods. The Beeches Lodge, is fresh, inviting, stimulating, and addictive. Yes, it is large enough for meetings, groups, and private events. And also has a takeout by self-pickup only. Order some food, after a busy Wednesday, Thursday, Friday stop-by, and pick-up. It'll invigorate you and your palette. For the Summer of 2025, we'd like to see a couple steadfast steak options on the menu. New Yorkers, love their steaks. A sixteen-ounce Bone-in Ribeye, and a lean protein-packed cut of Top Sirloin(for us heart patients), would sell on weekends. Any television chef, parading themselves as the world's best, and any chef of the American Culinary Institute, would be very proud to have a meal at the...

The wife and I were looking for a place to eat tonight, and she suggested the Beeches Manor...specifically the pub.
I am sad to say that I haven't been here in many years despite living so close. First off, the remodeled areas look absolutely great. The place was so radically different I hardly recognized it. It was clean, airy and welcoming.
We sat at a hi-top in the pub, and was greeted by a very nice gentleman, the bartender. He quickly brought our drinks over and took our order. My wife had the macaroni and cheese with chicken and said it was delicious...definitely homemade. I had the broiled seafood platter, and it was quite good. Sometimes seafood is hard to get right, but the fish, scallops and shrimp were all cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely... it was a huge plate of food, and I regretted ordering an appetizer (crab cakes -also excellent- no fake crab meat!) Did not have to ask for drink refills, which to me, is a sign of a very good conscientious server.
It was very reasonably priced - not cheap, but worth every penny. I have no issue paying for good service and delicious food. We'll be back...
The place has a large dining room next to the pub, which apparently fills up quickly, and so I would suggest a reservation. The pub only has about 6 tables, and I'm sure that fills up quickly as well. We were early birds for dinner, and didn't have a problem on a Friday, but as we were leaving, there was a good stream of people coming in.
Great spot! Musician...
Read moreWe went there for Mother's day. Right after we sat down with our food, thethe leaf of the table gave way and spilled a full plate of food all over my mother-in-law's dress and blouse. The staff was tardy coming over and coming to our assistance. Finally, they moved us to a dark corner of the restaurant. (I guess that because there were so many people eating dinner, caring for such problems was not a priority). We would up taking our own dinner plates filled with food, our water and wine glasses and napkins to the table because the staff was not on the ball.
We sat down and all our food was cold.
So the owner of the restaurant comes over and pompously offers to pay for the dry cleaning but didn't offer to pay for the dinner of my mother in law. When this possibility was mentioned, he became defensive and after some harsh words asked my wife" What do you want me to do...gravl on the floor". Such unprofessional conduct was bad enough but after being shocked, we looked over to the table of the incident and saw another party had been seated there. I went over and spoke with a nice gentleman. When I told them to beware of the faulty table, he then stood up and told me he had sat on food that was left in the chair from our mishap. Evidently, the staff was so busy that they failed to clean up the dirty table.
I think all the higher ups care about is making money and comfort of the customers...
