The Gin Mill — Restaurant in Town of Ellicottville

🧅 Mouthwatering Appetizers 🧅 The onion rings are absolutely to die for! Soooo yummy!! We ordered the basket of onion rings and they were perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. Trust me, you'll thank me later when you order these!

🎵 Incredible Live Music 🎵 The live band that played that night created such a fantastic atmosphere! They had everyone tapping their feet and the energy in the room was electric. It really elevated our entire evening.

✨ Charming Atmosphere ✨ The cute atmosphere made us feel right at home. The vintage-inspired decor, dim lighting, and cozy seating areas created the perfect setting for a night out with friends.

😊 Exceptional Service 😊 The staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. Our server made excellent recommendations and checked on us regularly without being intrusive.

💫 Can't Wait to Return! 💫 Overall, we had such a great experience at The Gin Mill! Between the amazing food, drinks, live music, and friendly staff, this place has become our new favorite spot. Already planning...

I have eaten here before so I recommend my party of 14 to eat here. The wings are great! So when we arrived there was 8 of us and we were not sure of the rest of the party was going to come so we were sat at two six tops. The waitress seemed annoyed to be serving us and the door greater who sat us was less than friendly. About 20 minutes into our meal the rest of the party showed up (7 more people) and we were told that since they were in our party, they could not sit at a third empty table next to us. So we had to squeeze everyone very uncomfortably around our two tables. The staff was adamant that we could not use the 3rd table as our waitress put it… “I have to make money”. We ended up leaving at half time for the football game because of the poor service and uncomfortable seating. Ironically, the table next to us reminded empty the entire time. And just think of the tip the waitress could have had if we stayed then entire game drinking and eating. 🤦🏼‍♂️

A perfect example of how a great restaurant with great food can be ruined...

We went to the Gin Mill on 10/16 for my birthday. We had looked at their website prior to going. When we got there, we were told that they were on a limited menu due to not enough help in the kitchen so they were not able to make any dinner selections that we may have wanted. I can understand them being short handed, and I can understand me not wanting to have bar food for my birthday. What I can't understand is why they have not bothered to post some sort of "alert" if you will that they are only able to provide a limited menu. We did not eat there on this date, we left. We did, however,, go back the following day for lunch, while waiting for our meals to arrive, another couple left due to the "limited menu. I would highly suggest that The Gin Mill make some alterations to their website alerting people to this, and then once they are back to being fully staffed, and can provide the meals that their website lists remove such alert. Our lunch that we had was good, but again, I think they should provide some kind of notification on...
