Manning's Fireside Manor

Good place to eat. Staff really friendly. Food really good. Prices are fair for the quality of food.

Hands down the best restaurant I've found anywhere near Dunkirk. This is a must if you're in the area!

Had the prime rib here on Easter dinner. It was delicious. I just wish they would've had a better menu for the holiday dinner here. Very slim for a fancy restaurant.

Man, this place was *packed* this past weekend - I've never seen the lot that full... ever! Encouragingly, the kitchen didn't seem to be notably slower (although we did have some good conversation going.) If you're planning to dine there on the weekend, be sure to make a reservation ahead of time, if possible.

After we had been chatting for a bit, our waitress came over and apologized, informing us that the baked french onion soup that we ordered was accidentally dropped; she insisted on comping a round of drinks for our table of four. I was impressed by this -- I expect most kitchens would just come out and apologize an mention how busy they are. Well done, Fireside.

Without the dropped soup, I wouldn't have said that there was any real delay due to how packed they were - a pleasant surprise. The food was excellent across the board, and I will almost certainly be back for their prime rib special again.

If you've heard that it's very loud in there, be aware that as of about 2 years ago (I'd guess) they've re-carpeted the place, and it has eliminated that issue. Even with a full restaurant and bar, the noise levels weren't an issue.

This is one of the nicer places in the area, and can be counted on when you want a good meal. Prices are in line with what you'd expect (for example, I think it was 26 or 27 for the prime rib special, which was very substantial.)
