The Barada and farmers market salad are some of the best you’ll find anywhere! And the key lime pie is the most delicious dessert within 20 miles! If you haven’t tried intermezzo, for whatever reason, like the crazy name, social club, you are missing a bet I mean a delicious dinner!

Not our best last ditch effort. Had planned another restaurant that was over booked so wandered in. Gives VFW vibes and the food was not so hot. Small portions, basic (not in a good way) ingredients. Ordered salmon which was freezer quality at best and “ Wagyu beef” that may have previously moonlit at Applebees. The best part were the McDonald’s style French fries. The bartender was super kind, even with it being her first night. Was hoping for a better experience

Great servers! Kind and courteous.
ORDER THE KEY LIME PIE!!!
Menu is small but I'm okay with that. The gluten free pizza wasn't bad (I'm glad they had the option).
Went twice with large parties and they handled us with no problems. This added to us having a positive experience and enjoying each other's company. INTERMEZZO provided the foundation of food to leave space to us to enjoy us.
Thank you! ?

Pizza is only available with a cauliflower crust, which is a little like having pizza on a tasteless cracker. Shrimp was tough. Music was unpleasant. Server left the order slip on the plate under the shrimp. Location is convenient, but clearly the staff just doesn’t care.

Service was inexplicably slow. Literally. After sitting at a table for 10 minutes, noting 3-5 empty tables and 2-3 servers, we asked a passing server if she was handling this table. “Um, I don’t think so,” she replied. “But I’ll check.”Another server popped up and said, “Sorry about that.” That was her explanation. She took drink and app orders. 10-15 minutes went by. The apps came before the drinks. Why does it take 15 minutes to serve a drink on their menu in a 1/3 empty restaurant?The food is fine. Apps, salad and shrimp n grits were good. Salmon was dry despite my friend asking for it “medium rare.” Pizza was meh on a cracker-type crust with thin toppings and lotsa arugula.Nice to see a menu with classic cocktails as well as their own concoctions. Service needs major training and a serious upgrade.

We had appetizers, house cocktails, wine and mains here and they were all delish. I had the shrimp and grits - shrimp tasted fresh, grits were cooked well and sauce had fresh mushrooms. Food came fast and hostesses & waitstaff were kind, attentive and on top of it! For those complaining (myself included) that there is a dearth of good dining options in the institution try Intermezzo. It has been long overlooked which is a great shame. Go here and you won’t regret it!

We just had a phenomenal dinner at Intermezzo and we could not be more pleased. The service was the best we have experienced in Chautauqua ( and outside of CHQ). The specialty cocktails were all delicious and well crafted. We had an appetizer of tuna tacos that was huge and flavorful. One of us had the shrimp “cargots “ (also a app)which was accompanied by two huge slabs of bread for dipping. Two of us had the shrimp and grits which was divine. One person had the buratta on focaccia and it rocked. I had the pizza of marinara, truffle oil, mushrooms and cheese which melted in my mouth and it had cauliflower crust that was the best I have had. The wines were also great. To top it all off, it was comparatively inexpensive to other places on the ground. Totally worth a visit.

We had a reservation for our wedding anniversary but when we arrived they refused to seat us outside, even though they had tables open outside. They said there are too many bugs. There were no bugs. Covid, however, is still killing people and their clientele is overwhelmingly senior citizens who are the most at-risk.I understand that a lot of people want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend the pandemic is over, but it's not unreasonable to expect to be able to sit outside at a restaurant that has outdoor seating. Some of us are still paying attention to the science.
Great food
