The Yard of Ale

This is by far our most favorite restaurant now. We were introduced to it by our kids & are so glad they did!!! We had the most wonderful evening from drinks to almost getting dessert. Our dinners varied from lobster & filet, lobster & steak, scallops special, & prime rib dinner. Each & everyone's dinner was fabulous! Garlic mashed potatoes or fries were the potato choices with no baked potato & that was my only want.
This restaurant is in an old home with so many different cubbies with tables. The great thing is that we could hear each other without yelling loved that!!

Food was excellent and big portions. Turned one meal into three. Service was nice. I think some people in my party know the server so was treated like family though likely this is how everyone is treated. The building had that old timey feel like I'm in a civil war era / Victorian times with some 40s type memoriabilia on the walls. The place is pricey so would go for special occasions.

The restaurant was busy had to make reservations a day in advance. Four meals plus drinks bill was 180ish house hamburgers was just okay, seafood special was delicious, chicken Marcellus was bland side veggies were just warm garden salad had wilted pieces. on a good note the waitress was out standing very attentive drinks were cold. Will try it again in a year or two.

OMG! For my southern tier friends, please try Yard of Ale!
We were in Letchworth for a baloon ride (cancelled, sigh) and were looking for a place to eat. Saw this restaurant with lots of stars and good reviews.
Colonial style bldg, very welcoming. Inside, same, like stepping back to the 1800s. Lots of rooms so no overcrowding feelings and kept noise down.
Bar was cool. An actual yard length beer glass over the bar. Good drinks, good pour, good price.
Food: i had the prime rib of course, wife had blackened scallops. Her scallops were well seasoned, slight crisp on the outside, moist and juicy inside. Perfect!
My rib was absolutely awesome. Angus beef they claim is the best in NY. Idk if I can argue!
Prices were reasonable. Staff was great. Long way to go but worth it!

We have driven by the Yard of Ale many times and always said we should go there sometime for dinner, so we were happy to agree when our friends suggested we meet there for dinner. It's about a 35 minute drive for us and was well worth it. The service was great and we were seated early for our reservation even though they were busy. They brought out a bread tray with pretzel bites and fresh bread, along with butter, olive tapenade, and oil. I got the beef tornadoes topped with lobster and they were amazing. My wife had the prime rib and it was perfect. The only problem was we didn't have room for some of the amazing looking desserts. We will definitely be going back.

We ordered a little bit of everything and loved it all! Bread butter board was great and ahi was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!!

The ambiance feels a grandparent's home which is up to you to decide if you like.
The service was typical and was antentive.
The bread was very good. I ordered a filet for dinner and it was pretty average for a filet (I love filets).
Mashed potatoes were decent. Cheesecake was delicious. Decent food for decent prices.
Overall, I am feeling a high 3 to a low 4 on this establishment (out of 5).

Very good food and service. Nice atmosphere..xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx

The food here is very well cooked. The seasoning is impeccable removing the need to salt and pepper anything at your table. the service was outstanding as well. We will definitely be frequenting this establishment.

The best place to enjoy a dining experience in the vicinity of Geneseo. Everything we ordered was prepared exquisitely and the service was fantastic.
