Dina's - Village of Ellicottville

The ribs were fairly tender but completely slathered in barbecue sauce. My friend enjoyed the lamb, and the mashed potatoes were excellent. However, the carrots and zucchini were quite hard and utterly flavorless; it seemed like they were just boiled in water without any herbs, spices, or seasoning at all. The olive crostini appetizer was decent but had an overpowering vinegar taste. On the bright side, the service was quick and attentive. I asked the waitress if the cookies were soft and chewy, and she assured me they were. However, when I got one to take home, it was hard as a rock. I could bang it on the plate like a drumstick without it breaking, and it certainly wasn't soft or chewy at all. Overall, the food was overpriced and not impressive. I would definitely not return. I could have gone to the gin mill across the street and enjoyed one of the best burgers ever for under $20 instead of spending so much on a disappointing meal.

We started with the artichoke dip and Brie as appetizers, followed by the lobster ravioli and ribeye for our main courses. Given the $42 price tag for the entrees, I anticipated a much higher quality. The ribeye was disappointingly thin, almost like a burger patty, and had a lot of fat, topped with an onion ring. The lobster ravioli was also just okay—bland and lacking in flavor. While the restaurant itself is nice, I was expecting much more based on the reviews and the prices. I don’t think I would return.

Breakfast options are excellent. It has a pleasant ambiance and is situated in an old yet tranquil town. The beautiful servers and the person who hosted us were gracious enough to go about looking for information on a very historic building that stoodjust in front of the resto and was erected nearly two centuries ago. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

I stopped by for a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast. The breakfast was enjoyable, and there were plenty of options like French toast, oatmeal, eggs, bagels, and more. Although I usually skip breakfast, I decided to try the bagel sandwich this time. My favorite item on the menu has to be the snickerdoodle latte—it was absolutely delicious!

Such a great experience! I have to say Josh, the manager, was exceptional and made the dining experience very welcoming pleasant. The food is phenomenal and provides a delightful fresh experience. Riley makes great drinks and is quite theconversationalist. We will definitely be back soon.
