The menu boasted an array of exquisite dishes, with the smoked chicken wings with black and blue treatment stealing the show. As the evening unfolded, the charm of enjoying a concert while relishing outdoor dining with friends and family added an extra layer of delight.

7. Charlotte Tavern
Cozy neighborhood tavern by the Genesee River
Charlotte Tavern offers delicious food, reasonable prices, and a nostalgic old-school bar ambiance. Their Friday fish fry is a delightful treat. However, during my visit, the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortably hot. Despite this, the overall experience was pleasant.
Although I enjoyed my hot fries and well-cooked burger, the black and blue burger fell short of expectations. The burger patty was tasty, but the dressing was off-putting, and the blue cheese unpleasant. Despite this setback, Charlotte Tavern's diverse menu and inviting atmosphere make it a worthwhile dining spot.
