Reviews for Nolan's on Canandaigua Lake in Canandaigua, NY

My husband's work had their end of the year work dinner and this place was so good. They had our room and tables all ready. They... put name cards at chairs because in the middle of the week we let them know what we wanted. Which was great for them to do. Theservers were so great and attentive to drinks if they were low or gone and plates were taken when we were done. I chose theSteak and Shrimp Chimichurri with a garden salad with avocado ranch. For dessert I chose a Peanut Butter Pie which was sodelicious. They also brought out rolls with a honey butter. I highly recommend. This is a little pricey but you are gettingamazing portions which makes it so worth it. Read more

Nice seafood and pasta and meat dishes on the menu. Sizable selection of daily specials. Real chef cooking. Appetizers were a... great combination of ingredients. Great service. Very big and various rooms and settings. Reasonable prices. When you say youwant to go out to a "nice restaurant" this is the kind of place you mean. The owner even stopped to check on our table.

First time and definitely not the last time! It's much more casual than I expected but not in a bad way. The food was amazing... and timed perfectly. Started with the stuffed mushrooms, French onion, and seafood chowder. I could eat a couple dozen of themushrooms and a gallon each of the soups. Wife had the lobster ravioli while I had the prime rib. Ravioli were creamy and meltedin your mouth with a whole tail. The prime rib was cooked exactly how it should be. So very tender and the mashed potatoes werejust like how I would cook them. Wife finished off with the creme Brulee in a chocolate shell. The only disappointing part isthat it has Hershey's syrup. I did also have the Cesar, and while the dressing was delicious, there was just too much and feltlike I was eating bites of flavored mayo at times. Read more

The food is delicious and they have great choices. Drinks are also very good. The wait is a little longer than we thought it... would be but it was worth it. They also have month special that you should try. Read more

The food here was Amazing! Everything was skillfully executed. The stuffed mushrooms with bernaise are a must. Probably some of... the best bernaise I've ever had. It was creamy , rich well balanced...hard to do without splitting.The seafood chowder wasloaded with scallops, shrimp, & lobster...the best chowder I've ever had. ( I've probably had hundreds over the years)It wasn'ttoo thick, and was well seasoned. I didn't like the Mule that I had. The ginger beer they used was too aggressive and overlyfloral. However the Dirty Martini was well done and we appreciated the options to have different style olives. The Berry Smashwas also good. My husband had the Pork Chop dinner and was day dreaming about eating another one the next day! It was juicy,well seasoned with well rendered crispy fat edges. Would absolutely eat there again!

Beautiful place- very clean and welcoming. We love to sit in the booth near the fire place- you feel warm and comfortable, like... at home. Food is excellent: looks like cook knows his own secret of preparing meat and sauces. Excellent and fast service.

We finally made it here after all of the family talking it up for years - got treated to a birthday dinner on a Saturday night.... Were able to make reservations for 4:45 the day before. Service was good, atmosphere was nice and comfy, but for some reason Iexpected fancier when looking at the menu ahead of time. But we value comfort over fancieness every day, so it was all good tous. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Dad raved about his shrimp cocktail, and they said their bacon wrapped scallops wereperfectly done. My favorite item of everything was the Potato Puffs appetizer, which I may just get for my main next time.DELICIOUS! Description doesn't do them justice. Hubby's burger came as ordered and the french onion soup was very good. We'll beback if they offer to pay and take us back next year! Would be nice over the summer, too, I'm sure, on the water. Pics includedof everyone's food. :) Read more

Nice place with good ambience. The salmon special was delicious. It was some of the best salmon I've ever had. The porterhouse... was also delicious (although it was overdone when it first came out, but that was quickly and easily corrected by our server andthe kitchen). The service was great. I'll go back for any main course, but skip the desserts. They aren't made in house and Iwas very disappointed in the chocolate raspberry cake. Read more
