Bemus Point Inn Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Ellery

Friendly staff and locals frequent this place, even in the off seasons. We've been in town twice over 3 years and made multiple visits here each time were in town.

It's mostly typical diner fare but their hashed browns are pretty solid if you like them cooked to perfection with I think a little bit of butter.

Cinnamon rolls are also a solid choice. The omelettes are a good choice you can't go wrong with either.

My only 2 heads ups are for coldbrew coffee and avocado people. I was intrigued by the cold brews they mentioned on their specials board. If you ever get cold brew from a coffee shop then you should probably avoid getting it here or your expectations will have you bummed out. I'm fairly certain their cold brew was simply iced coffee with a healthy amount of flavored creamer. At least when. I tried their cinnamon roll cold brew.

As for the avocado comment, we came with out little 1 y/os and we try and feed them more basic whole foods including avocado. I was thinking their side of avocado would have been sliced wedges but instead was a little prepacked cup of mashed avocado. Not a huge deal, the kids are it right up but if you were expecting to add avocado to your dishes then be aware in case you were hoping for it in a not...

The restaurant is charming and has a lovely outdoor seating area. I had the Fish Fry Dinner: The hand-cut French Fries were fabulous! Perfectly cooked too! The fish part was very disappointing.... The fish itself was dried out and hard, maybe it was left from yesterday or had been microwaved? and it was coated in a thick, blob of bland batter--comparable to what I would expect at a cheap Carnival booth. And the batter was so piled on and thick it was not fully cooked all the way through, as well as it was incredibly greasy. A big yuck. The "coleslaw" was a few bigger pieces of cabbage in vinegar. This was a poor quality meal, and not worth the rather expensive price tag.

The low service score is because there was only one main blonde/brown haired woman doing all the work, and she was clearly "running her legs off" and trying to manage all aspects of front restaurant and needed help. It is worth mentioning that I noticed that she was kind and patient even in the midst of being frantically over-worked. There was a younger dark-haired girl who seemed to just be standing around, or maybe she was overwhelmed around and did not know what the do. From what I have heard Bemus Point Restaurant is great for breakfast but go somewhere else for...

We found the food to be very disappointing. The portions are large so there is a lot of value. However, the Alfredo was very milky tasting and had almost no cheese flavor, though the small steak portion we got on the side was very good. Even thought I split the Alfredo, we just couldn’t finish it because of how bad the flavor was. Another member of our party got the Chicken Marsala and found it similarly disappointing all around. In slight contrast, another person got a pork chop and found it ok, but nothing special. We also got dessert and found the peanut butter pie to be very good while the rhubarb pie was too sweet.

The service was quite good. Our server was kind and very accommodating with our large party.

The prices are very reasonable so there is a lot of bang for your buck.

The restaurant itself was nice and clean. The vibe was cozy and welcoming, and the bathrooms were pleasant. Parking was good.

Overall: I would not recommend this restaurant because of our party’s poor experience with the food. However, the menu is large and other people I know have said they quite enjoy...
