“We got there at about 7:45 thinking they closed at 9. They actually were closing at 8pm for after labor day hours. I didn't want to be inconvenient and would have left, but the Jeremy and his crew were really polite and kind and said it was no big deal. Everything was made quick, was reasonably priced, and delicious as always. Thanks again for another great meal!“

“This small restaurant in lakewood ny is great. I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was full of flavor. I dont normally get grilled but I have to say it was really good. The people here were super friendly and has like an old school diner feel. If you come here you won't be disappointed. They are only open till 2 I think. But I guess they are great for breakfast cus all I seen when I got here were people getting breakfast and it all look great. Can't wait to come back and try the breakfast. Price isn't to bad for the type of service you get.“

“We've been going to Guppy's for years. ALWAYS great food & service very attentive, the drinks are also good. We I've in Ohio but never miss Guppy's when we go to Chautauqua Lake, it's amazing.“

“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.“

“Best Breakfast place around!“

“I see on pictures that you carry chipped dried beef on toast, but I can't find it on your menu. Do you carry it ?“

“The restaurant celebrated recently their 30th Anniversary. Waitress was super experienced having been a long time employee. Remembered whose order was whose when food was delivered. Food was tasty and all 7 in our group thought the breakfast was good and prices were normal. Coffee was good and the waitress returned with refills often. Toast was warm but not hot enough to melt the butter spread on top.“

“A fantastic find on our day trip to Jamestown!
The server was very attentive and quick. With the heat she made sure we all had water as well as our beers.

Food was fantastic, grilled wings were cooked to perfection as well as the Beef on a Weck and and French Dip. Served in a timely fashion.

The autographed Erie Otter Ritter Coombs jersey is a nice touch to the decor.

All in all a suppertime family friendly stop with very courteous employees.“

“We ordered lunch entree salads, a chopped salad one with grilled shrimp and a burrata and peach salad with grilled salmon. Both were grilled perfectly. A lovely table on the porch overlooking the lake. The service was a little slow—we were seated for 25 minutes at the table before any waitstaff came—but they made up for it with attentiveness thereafter. Food is much improved!“
