🧅 Mouthwatering Appetizers 🧅
The onion rings are absolutely to die for! Soooo yummy!! We ordered the basket of onion rings and they were perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. Trust me, you'll thank me later when you order these!
🎵 Incredible Live Music 🎵
The live band that played that night created such a fantastic atmosphere! They had everyone tapping their feet and the energy in the room was electric. It really elevated our entire evening.
✨ Charming Atmosphere ✨
The cute atmosphere made us feel right at home. The vintage-inspired decor, dim lighting, and cozy seating areas created the perfect setting for a night out with friends.
😊 Exceptional Service 😊
The staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. Our server made excellent recommendations and checked on us regularly without being intrusive.
💫 Can't Wait to Return! 💫
Overall, we had such a great experience at The Gin Mill! Between the amazing food, drinks, live music, and friendly staff, this place has become our new favorite spot. Already planning our next visit!

Overall my experience here was decent. I had the spicy dry rub chicken wings. The wings themselves were cooked to perfection, but they were VERY salty. My partner ordered the honey barbecue wings. I had some and they were about what you would expect from honey barbecue. If I had ordered that instead, I likely would have left here with no complaints. The waitress we had was very kind and our food came out fast despite being very busy.
Overall, I would definitely be willing to try this place again. Though I was not pleased with my wings, my partner's were better. The prices were good and the atmosphere is cozy.

Decent place to watch a band but pay $5.50 for domestic bottled beer! Ridiculous for a bar like this.
Phenomenal place in the heart of Ellicottville. Great food and the carriage house has a wonderful bar. Music is always great. Just a great place to spend the evening

We are a family of five with varying tastes. The Gin Mill has a great assortment on the menu and laid back atmosphere. Everyone left not only full but very happy with our meals.

I have eaten here before so I recommend my party of 14 to eat here. The wings are great! So when we arrived there was 8 of us and we were not sure of the rest of the party was going to come so we were sat at two six tops. The waitress seemed annoyed to be serving us and the door greater who sat us was less than friendly. About 20 minutes into our meal the rest of the party showed up (7 more people) and we were told that since they were in our party, they could not sit at a third empty table next to us. So we had to squeeze everyone very uncomfortably around our two tables. The staff was adamant that we could not use the 3rd table as our waitress put it… “I have to make money”. We ended up leaving at half time for the football game because of the poor service and uncomfortable seating. Ironically, the table next to us reminded empty the entire time. And just think of the tip the waitress could have had if we stayed then entire game drinking and eating. 🤦🏼♂️
A perfect example of how a great restaurant with great food can be ruined by poor staff.

This place is awful. 3 weeks in a row they’re not serving food even well before an hour before close. Theres too many other good spots in EVL to hit instead of wasting time there for overpriced drinks and wildly mediocre food. Check EBC or Balloons!

Went here for lunch with my mom. The atmosphere inside is beautiful, large selection of drinks, and the food was good. The hostess was sweet. Our waitress wasn’t the most attentive. We did go on a Saturday midday so it was busy. However, we weren’t asked if we wanted a refill on our drinks until we were boxing our food up to go. My mom also asked the waitress for silverware when we first got our meal and the waitress forgot. I had to ask the hostess if we could have a set of silverware and she got us the silverware. We weren’t asked how our meal was until 40 minutes after we had gotten our meal. My take away from this is if you’re a local or a regular, you’ll be waited on promptly. if you’re not, you’ll be waiting.
