Our restaurant menus are available in your guestroom, the inn dining room, and the inn parlor for your convenience. We will deliver your meal(s) directly to the inn dining room or to your guestroom. As a guest, you can enjoy lunch on the Victorian front porch, afternoon tea in the parlor by the cozy fire, or dinner in our elegant 1895 dining room. (Exception: Sun-Tues) ABOUT OUR RESTAURANT The Old Library Restaurant, located next door, is one of the region’s most beautiful and treasured landmarks. Built in 1909, with funds provided by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, this elegant work of art was designed by architect Edward L. Tilton in the Beaux-Arts style, complete with original bookcases, a grand staircase, and two fireplaces. Full of Old-World charm and Art Deco flare, The Old Library pays tribute to the history of Olean's prohibition-era with its cozy and casual speakeasy vibe. This exquisite historical landmark was listed on the National and State Register of Historic Places in 1985.
