BACC Exemplary Business Award
On April 8, 2010, the first Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce Exemplary Business Award was presented to Sam Sylvester, owner of The Option House. This award goes to a for-profit business that demonstrates a well-planned, thorough and serious approach to business development and exemplifies the unique "hometown" charm of the area in matters of administration, customer service and quality of product.

The Option House has been restored to amazing beauty! If you are looking for really good food, a great atmosphere and to feel like you are back in time, go to the Option House. It is one of our favorite places in Bradford to go for food and drinks. There is a wonderful, very long bar downstairs and upstairs is a nice big room called the Peacock Parlor. You can have food or drinks in either area.
"I just wanted to once again thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your restaurant is absolutely wonderful, and everyone there is great. I look forward to a return visit soon."
