    We loved our dinner at Nolan’s! Service was great, food came out very fast, food was delicious, and they gave us nice portion sizes. We ordered quite a bit of food (salad, calamari, soup, bread, 2 burger and fries meals, and 1 alcoholic drink. The bill came to $98! We thought that was a pretty good value for all of that food. They also gave us a little happy anniversary card and had flowers on the table because we were celebrating our anniversary

    We have never had a bad meal at Nolan’s. We eat there 5-6 times annually. It’s a favorite for our special nights out. Last night was equally favorable with great service, a cozy ambience as we sat near the fireplace and a delicious and beautifully prepared meal. Our only concern (a first) was that the food was not served as hot as we anticipated. It was not cold or luke warm but not hot enough to last most of the meal. We did share that information with the waitress after the meal was over. We’ll absolutely return. It’s a well run establishment that provides a great dining experience.

    A warm greeting from the friendly hostess made us feel very welcomed. She seated us at a lovely table by the fireplace in the sunroom for Valentine’s Day Eve dinner. This month’s special - short rib - was tender and delicious. My wife’s filet was equally as good. Wonderful service from April. We look forward to dining at Nolan’s again soon.

    Always an amazing experience! The food is outstanding! You must try the calamari potato Puffs and chicken French! I'm sure everything is delicious but we love it so much that's all we usually get except for lunch. The lobster rolls and burgers are also amazing!

    Our server was excellent. We had a hilarious episode with a rather uncooperative cork for a bottle of Prosecco and being able to laugh broke the slight tension in the moment. The food and ambiance were impeccable as always.
    Nolan's on Canandaigua LakeResponded 4 days ago
    We love hearing that! It sounds like you had a memorable evening. We're so glad you appreciated your server's excellent service and sense of humor – those little moments can definitely make a dining experience special. And of course, we're thrilled you found the food and ambiance impeccable as always. Thanks for sharing your story, and we hope to see you back again soon for more laughs (and hopefully, easier corks!).
