    Great night out. We were early and quickly seated in bar area at a high top, instead of reserved table, at our request. Server was great and so were our meals of Cobb salad with side filet and twin tails. Great spot if you are staying nearby

    Our first time there. We were early by nearly an hour and they were busy. They did get us seated at the bar. The food was excellent, my steak and scallops were outstanding. The service was also excellent. Very efficient and friendly. We really appreciated that they were able to accommodate us despite being so early. We were impressed and will definitely add this to our regular stops when we're in the finger lakes. Highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful time at Nolans last night. We were seated immediately, service was prompt and efficient all night. Servings were large. I had the lobster ravioli; it was excellent and I was surprised at how much lobster there was. Companions enjoyed the seafood, chicken Marsala and Fillet - everyone was very happy with their meal. Will definitely be going back.

    Nolan’s is consistently good and the holiday decor was very nice. Our server, Lauren, was also good. However, I wish servers would make the price of “specials” known as it’s awkward to ask. Part of our order was 1 coconut shrimp “special” app ($21) and one main “special” ($42). I probably would have skipped the app and ordered another main had I known.

We understand your concern about pricing on specials—it’s a valid point, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with our team to ensure we improve communication in the future. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

    We had an excellent dining experience at Nolan's. My husband had the scallops and I ordered the fish and chips lightly blackened with sweet potato fries. YUM! Our waitress Christine was energetic and helpful in guiding our selections. New tip: they run a video of the specials on the screen. Be sure to check that out. We can't wait to come back...

    Fun Friday dinner with a friend of 50+ years from high school and her husband. My wife and our friend thoroughly enjoyed their filet/lobster dinner combos. Our friend’s husband and I opted for Nolan’s tasty NY strip steaks. Patty took great care of us. A special thanks to Deb for fixing a minor kitchen miscue. Highly recommend this restaurant. It’s one of our favorites in the Canandaigua area.
