    Everything was great as usual once our server got to us. Long wait for her to come over, get our drink order, and get the drinks. Uphill after that. Possibly she was not told she had our table.
    Nolan's on Canandaigua LakeResponded 1 day ago
    We're glad to hear that everything was great once your server was with you! We sincerely apologize for the initial delay in her coming to your table and the subsequent wait for your drinks. It's possible there was a miscommunication about your table assignment, and we'll be sure to look into that to prevent it from happening again. We appreciate your understanding and are happy that the rest of your experience was up to par. We hope to provide you with seamless service on your next visit!

    Excellent service, food, experience!! Friendly people as wait staff and hostesses. My only improvement suggestion is to have more gluten-free options as so many people are eating with different dietary restrictions. But they tried to accommodate very kindly.
    Nolan's on Canandaigua LakeResponded 1 day ago
    That's wonderful to hear you had an excellent experience with our service, food, and friendly team! We truly appreciate your suggestion regarding more gluten-free options. It's definitely something we're considering as we continue to evolve our menu to accommodate various dietary needs. We're glad our team was able to assist you kindly during your visit, and we hope to have even more choices for you next time!
