1. Anchor Bar and Restaurant
$$ | |Anchor claims to have originated Buffalo wings. Some people dispute that, but many come to sample the groundbreaking invention in bar food. Try them hot for the full experience. A buffalo's head hanging on the wall is about all the atmosphere you need.

2. Coles
$$ | |Since 1934, this pubby place has served up its specialty sandwiches, among them a stack of ham, turkey, and Swiss with onions and Russian dressing on marble rye. Also on the menu: pot roast on a roll with caramelized onions and cheddar; sesame-encrusted yellowfin tuna salad; and, for dinner, lobster ravioli in a crab-vodka sauce and barbecue ribs. It's a huge space, with two dining rooms—one a true pub with wooden booths, checkerboard floors, and '50s-era sports pennants, and the other a sunroom with a fireplace at one end. Sidewalk seating is available in summer. The gigantic, multipage beer menu, with rare brews from around the world, is sure to impress.

3. Como Restaurant
$$ | |Since 1927, the Antonacci family has been serving traditional dishes from the south of Italy like veal à la Francesca, chicken cacciatore, and veal Parmesan. The interior is an explosion of floral wallpaper, pastoral-scene murals, glitzy chandeliers, and faux grapevines.

4. Dina's
$$ | |This relaxed space has a rustic elegance exemplified by a long polished-wood bar, pressed-tin ceiling, unfinished-wood columns and bare beams, antler chandeliers, banquette seating, and an exposed-brick wall with artfully peeling cream-color paint. Hearty fare like dry-rub ribs with a side of mac-and-cheese are joined on the menu by pasta and pizzas, including one with red-pepper pesto, prosciutto, cappicola, fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, and basil. Locals frequently stop in just for the cakes, pies, and oversize cookies, which you can savor with a cappuccino. Breakfast is served daily.

5. Italian Fisherman
$$ | |Eat indoors or outside on the multilevel covered deck overlooking Chautauqua Lake. (Heat torches warm deck diners up on cool days.) The eatery is known for seafood and Italian dishes—cioppino, large sautéed shrimp with spicy tomato sauce over pasta, grilled catch of the day. The drinks list is extensive, and the place often hosts live music and other entertainment.

6. Old Library Restaurant
$$ | |In a National Historic Landmark building, what was the town library, built in 1910 with funds from Andrew Carnegie, was converted to a restaurant in 1983. It retains most of its original architecture—parquet flooring, stained-glass windows, inlaid ceilings. Dining is in hushed, bookshelf-lined, front "library" rooms or a mezzanine overlooking a central atrium. The menu is diverse, with Italian, French, and American dishes. Six-cheese ravioli is served with pesto cream and sautéed spinach; sautéed antelope medallions come with peppercorn sauce; a surf-and-turn combo joins New York strip steak and jumbo scampi. Sunday brunch is served.
120 S. Union St., Olean, New York, 14760, USA716-373–9804Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch, Credit cards accepted -
7. Olive's
$$ | |In the Chautauqua Suites hotel, this restaurant puts a twist on traditional in northern Italian dishes such as seared salmon in a pinot grigio–butter sauce and slow-roasted pork served in the style of osso buco with an herb-reduction-and-mascarpone polenta. Lunches consist of pasta, paninis, and pizzas—the Calvatore is topped with cremini and portobello mushrooms, truffle oil, and fontina. Chef Andrew Culver has worked at Washington, D.C.'s Mandarin Oriental, and at the White House. Some pastries—such as a lemon butter-cream tart—are imports from the owners' Bonjour Cafe & Patisserie, on Mayville's main street.
215 W. Lake Rd., Mayville, New York, 14757, USA716-753–2331Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
8. Roycroft Inn Restaurant
$$ | |Several cozy rooms with fireplaces and wood beams and pillars are furnished with Arts and Crafts pieces and embellished with arched stained-glass windows. An enclosed sunroom with wicker chairs looks out onto the viney covered patio, open in warm weather. The fare is American: duck confit with apricot chutney, smoked mozzarella ravioli in a garlic–white wine sauce, oven-roasted salmon in a puff pastry with wild mushrooms, leeks, and roasted-red-pepper sour cream. Breakfast is served daily (brunch on Sunday).

9. Scallion Bistro
$$ | |A 5-mi drive west of town (and easily accessible from Chautauqua) on a block-long cobblestone street ending at the lake, Scallion Bistro is a favorite of locals in the know. Try citrus-glazed salmon over fruit salsa, topped with horseradish butter and fried parsnips; or pan-seared chicken breast wrapped with Italian ham, over lobster succotash. There's a Tuscan feel, with faux-finish walls and hanging colored-glass lamps and an "arcaded" wall separating the dining room from bar. It's nice enough for a romantic dinner, but low-key enough to foster boisterous conversation and to have a (low- to-no-volume) flat-screen TV in the bar.
60 Chautauqua Ave., Lakewood, New York, 14750, USA716-763–0051Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch, Credit cards accepted, Reservations essential -
10. The Brick Room
$$ | |Entrées, such as grilled shrimp over a fried grits cake with Tasso ham (spicy smoked ham), French green beans, and cherry tomatoes in a beurre blanc sauce, are inventive and expertly prepared. The menu is seasonal, but starters have included fried green tomatoes with chipotle aioli. Congenial but classy, the compact, Napa-esque dining room—gleaming light-wood floors and tables, exposed-redbrick walls, and French doors that open to the street—buzzes with conversation.
49 W. Main St., Fredonia, New York, 14063, USA716-672–5547Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues, Credit cards accepted -
11. Top of the Falls
$$ | |Just feet from the brink of Niagara Falls, this spot with panoramic views lives up to its name. The scenery is awesome, as is the thick New York strip steak. The signature Buffalo chicken wrap (crispy chicken fingers, hot sauce, lettuce, and blue cheese in a flour tortilla) is a good choice for lunch.
Niagara Falls, New York, USA716-278–0340Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Oct.--May., Credit cards accepted -
12. Webb's Captain's Table Restaurant
$$ | |The restaurant, which serves American fare with an emphasis on seafood, has a deck overlooking the lake. Dishes include broiled au gratin sea scallops, blackened wild Atlantic salmon, prime rib, veal cordon bleu, and vegetable lasagna. Some local wines and brews (12–18 on tap), as well as picks from around the world, accompany meals.
115 W. Lake Rd./Rte. 394, Mayville, New York, 14757, USA716-753–3960Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted, Daily 11:30am–11:30pm -
13. ZeBro's Harbor House
$$ | |Locals admit that only the fish fry is stellar at this casual local joint, but the view of sparkling Lake Erie from the outdoor patio, just 100 feet from the rocky waterfront, is what keeps them coming back, particularly around sunset. Plus, it's the only place in town open on Monday. The menu is largely seafood, and portions are huge. The concrete patio with metal tables, and the dark, carpeted dining room are nothing to gawk at; keep your gaze fixed lakeward. Dinner is only served until 8 pm Sunday. Reserve for a sunset-hour table.
