Nolan’s is “consistently” an excellent venue in every aspect!! That’s why it’s a constant in Canandaigua! Never disappointed…the Prime Rib was spectacular!

Our lakeside pool bar is where summer slows down and every seat has a view.Pull up a seat and choose from a thoughtful beverage menu featuring frozen drinks, craft cocktails, crisp seltzers, ice cold beers, and refreshing wines. Light bites and shareable plates keep the mood relaxed, whether you’re settling in for the day or arriving for golden hour.Sit back and relax as families splash in the water, friends lounge beneath umbrellas, and servers deliver trays of citrus-garnished spritzes. As the sun begins to lower, conversations linger and music hums gently in the background. It becomes the kind of place where one drink becomes two, and sunset feels like an event.This isn’t just a pool bar, it’s a front-row seat to the lake where boats drift lazily across the horizon. It’s a social hub wrapped in fresh air and open sky, with a breeze that carries the scent of fresh water and warm sunshine.

Saturday night in mid-October. Many open tables, but this could be because it was after sunset. Brewery next door (walking) is a great place to start (or end) the meal. We had poutine as an app, it was excellent. The meatloaf was a solid choice - the sauce included marsala.... delicious and will use when making at home. Service was friendly and timely. Ambiance, inside, felt more fast casual than fine dining.

We were pleasantly surprised about our experience at the Erie Grill. We hadn't been there is quite sometime and decided last minute to eat at this hotel restaurant. I know, when you hear hotel it might put you off. In this case, it is quite the opposite. First , our server was attentive and accommodating. One of our party has food allergies and they always bring a list of the foods and spices they are unable eat. The server and then the chef created a salmon dish with spinach and lemon/pepper seasoning that was delicious. It should be noted this meal was not on any menu. The Chef made their dining experience amazing. Of course, the rest of us ordered off the menu and enjoyed every morsel of our meals. To sum up our experience, this is a well run restaurant with a staff that cares to make everyone's dining experience delightful. Go and try it yourself and feel the difference.

    The quality of the service, with Christine, and the food, with JP, was excellent. Debbie checked in with us throughout the evening and made sure everything was perfect!
