This season brings a jazz brunch to the Bemus Point waterfront at Ellicottville Brewing Company. Sundays from 10am-2pm, EBC is offering a special brunch menu with live jazz music from local duo SON . The views in Bemus along Chautauqua Lake are unmatched, the vibe always relaxed. Guests can enjoy a cocktail in good company while taking in the best of the lake.
The brunch menu features Strawberry Whipped Ricotta French Toast, Smoked Salmon and Eggs Benedict, and Lox n’ Smoked Salmon Bagel. The menu is inspired by fresh, seasonal produce as well as local favorites. Full menu is also available. “It’s the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning this season,” says Topper. “We invite everyone to come in, relax and enjoy a delicious meal with great music on the lake.”
Drink specials include a mimosa flight with 6 juices and a bottle of Prosecco to mix, sip and share. Bloody Marys and Bloody Ceasars are also available for only $5 each. Ellicottville Brewery favorites are on tap, including Blueberry Wheat and Pale Ale, with citrus notes, along with full bar options, including the popular pear ginger martini.
SON will be playing most Sundays, gaining popularity in the area as an up-and-coming variety duo. Their soulful covers with jazz undertones set the scene for brunch. Sabrina Gustafson and Jed Thomson have been playing together for 2 years as SON (deriving from their last names) on stages around Ellicottville, Chautauqua and Buffalo. As a duo, Sabrina’s soulful voice melds perfectly with Jed on bass guitar, putting a new spin on the songs we all know and love. “We just love what we do,” says Sabrina. “We never expected to get this far, but we’re so incredibly grateful. We love playing together,” and it shows. We’re looking forward to frequenting EBC in Bemus Point. The sunsets here are amazing, and the views are unmatched.”
The vibe at brunch was is upbeat and fresh, set by the soulful tunes of SON alongside amazing views. EBC’s fresh décor pairs perfectly with the lakeside vibes; the views always stunning and sunsets unmatched. Their outdoor covered, sided and heated patio allows views no matter the weather.
After brunch, stroll the streets of Bemus or pop over to Long Point Park for an afternoon walk. Midway Park is a 6-minute drive for some old-fashioned rides and carnival games, fun for the whole family.
