“We recently held a dinner at 411 Tower to award deserving WCS graduates Brothertown Scholarshios. Michael’s served the most delicious meal. We couldn’t have been more pleased with both the food and fast, efficient service. Many thanks to Michael and his staff.“

“Amazing menu and service. Highly recommend the Salmon with Orange Marmalade over Risotto!“

“Went there for lunch yesterday. Ham & au gratin potatoes for hubby and broiled chicken with Utica greens for me (sorry no phone for pictures). We love this place. Very homey atmosphere and great food. Mary waited on us. She is excellent!“

“I'm not a bar person anymore. With that being said the atmosphere was ok.. typical bar loudness. The waitress was super sweet knowledgable.

Now the food... the menu had a wide variety of choices from seafood to burgers.. our app was maple bourbon tempura Brussels sprouts.. they were amazing the sweetness against the Brussels was nice we also got a queso white chili was really good moderate spice.. Sandy had a cuse burger which had peppers onions bacon cheddar cheese and BBQ hot sauce.. the said the flavor was pretty good.. nice thick fresh burger!. I had Tazieky salmon rice and veggies. The peppers needed to be slice thinner and the cauliflower needed to be cooked they weren't edible..the rest of the veggies were amazing.
We then ordered the raspberry lemon cake..and it was just as described the simple syrup soak on the cake piece was nice. The buffalo trace bourbon coffee!!! Omg that's the smoothest bourbon!!!“

“Delicious food. Worth the drive.“

“Everything about this place is great. Good food, staff and atmosphere.“

“Awesome local spot! The staff, prices and vibe are all fantastic. It's a very welcoming spot for younger and older crowds 🤘🏻 Highly recommended.“

“Great small town bar, a lot bigger inside than I had expected with a full menu, I happen to get there on spaghetti night, which is Tuesdays, all you can eat spaghetti for seven dollars, and I believe the meatballs or sausage are an extra three dollars for each plate )but trust me you won’t get past the first plate), I love that they use angel hair, other than the thicker spaghetti. It’s always been a personal preference of mine and I didn’t ask for it. That’s just what they do! The sauce was perfect. It was a very good atmosphere, for a plate of spaghetti with two giant meatballs, two beers and a shot my bill was $18 (due to a friendly patron buying one of my drinks) but even without that, it probably would’ve only been $22 great prices, really friendly people (even though I don’t look like their typical clientele, I’m more of a “city kid”),but everyone was welcoming, accepting and seemed excited to see someone from the larger city, come down for a visit, You could tell they are proud of their bar and I love that!“

“Had a great night listening to the entertainment (Grit-N-Grace band) and dancing with the locals a couple of weeks ago. Good people, friendly owner, great acoustics, reasonable beer prices! Overall good time. I'm a bit older than the "standard" night life club goer there, but the good folks there were accepting and friendly.“

“I believe there's some history to this place beyond what it is now, which is a warm, quaint, welcoming local watering hole. When me and my family first moved here and I walked into "Town" to find us a late night snack., I found out the unpleasant news about the lack of options for food establishment's and especially after 8pm. By the way I learned this information out from the friendly bartender wrapping up her night shift with a last minute smoke, a guilty pleasure we both shared unfortunately lol. Long story short they offered to turn the grill back on and make me something to bring home for my newly moved in family even though they shut down for the night. They gave me some friendly advice about the local folk which over 1.5 yrs later is still true, and I went on my way and have frequented them since for a nightcap. Only thing I'd say on improving or should say just adding, would be the ability to pay by credit/debit card at the register/bar. Instead there's an ATM which is more costly to the customer as well as inconvenient for the purposes of buying a few drinks, especially if you wanted to use a credit card.. They basically give away Square ® nowadays with all the promos and such.. Just something to think about before summer rolls around ya know. But thanks . ?“

“If I could sum up my perfect dining experience by using one name, it would be Nola’s. It’s brick and cozy with perfect lighting… a small, quaint spot in a charming, picturesque town. The service was great… the staff, kind. The two of us ordered half the menu, but still can’t decide which plate was the best. The combination of flavors and textures was spot on and they know how to cook a steak perfectly. I can’t wait to go back and try the other half of the menu. Highly recommend Nola’s.“
