Livia Italian Eatery 207 S 3rd St, Geneva Italian • $$

“Limited menu done right. Portions are small but prepared with care. Always consistent. Shy away from the calamari friti. I’ve had it a few times and hoped it would get better . Barely any shrimp the “ piece. Contained are small and few as is the actual squid. Loaded with veggies instead. Not a value or good choice! The twin medallions of beef are delicious but not substantial. The white fish is the best dish on the mine!”

“Le Cochon in Geneva absolutely blew us away. The food was insane — the Rillons were rich, crispy, tangy, and utterly addictive; the Coq au Vin was deeply flavorful and beautifully executed; and the pork cassoulet was phenomenal — hearty, deeply savory, and incredibly satisfying.

Just as impressive was the hospitality. Joe behind the bar was fantastic — personable, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. Kathrine, our waitress, was exceptional — attentive, gracious, and genuinely made the evening feel special.

Exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and a kitchen that clearly knows exactly what it’s doing. Le Cochon is a must-visit.”

Enigma Geneva 308 Anderson Boulevard, Geneva Fine Dining • $$

“Oh my goodness. You have to try this new restaurant. Open less than a week, but they really have it together. Went as group of four and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Three of us don’t eat meat. We were shocked by all the options we had. We decided to share so we could taste as many different dishes as possible. We enjoyed 2 appetizers, Tetela and Crostinis. Both were wonderful , but the fan favorites were the Crostinis with focaccia bread, roasted brussel sprouts, burrata cheese foam, hazelnuts, pesto, truffle honey, and basaltic glaze. The apple and beets salad was wonderful, as was our main coarse, cauliflower steak. My meat eating husband loved his Wagyu burger. We finished with the rice pudding and coconut desserts. They were both amazing and the presentation was beautiful, with edible greens and flowers. Chef Christian and his wife Sarah graciously explained everything. Their pride in this new venture was obvious. I strongly suggest you check out Enigma before it’s discovered and you can’t get a reservation.”

Los Cantaritos 1772 S Randall Rd, Geneva Mexican • $

“Best steal burrito I've had. It was an actual steak, grilled then cut to pieces, not the chopped steak that's been on a grill forever. Perfectly seasoned, almost didn't need any salsa (and that's part of my reason for getting burritos!). Husband loves pastor and is a bit of a connoisseur and said it was phenomenal. The red sauce is a good actual pepper red, not too hot. The green sauce is the best verde sauce I've had. Very authentic on both. The house salsa was very fresh and bright, with some heat to it. Or server was very polite and accommodating. We may have found a new favorite. 5/5.”

“The staff have been really rude to me ever since I pointed out that my tab was wrong and I was overcharged. I wasn't upset about the double charges, I just wanted them corrected. I've barely been waited on since then it seems. I tried to step in a help once when a patron had been over served. It wasn't welcomed at all. I was given the same look as I get when I walk up to the bar to get a drink. Too bad, it's really close to home to me. I haven't been in over a year and have no plans on returning.”

The Walrus Room 415 W State St #105, Geneva Fine Dining • $$$

“Walrus Room is a solid five star restaurant. Table service is fantastic. Our server knew the menu inside and out, provided useful recommendations and was very attentive without being pesty. Starting with the appetizers four of us had Shrimp DeJohgne, the Burrata, Curds and Chorizo Mussels. All very very good. From their extensive lists the ladies had wine and I had bourbon. For dinner we ordered the walleye on rice, Amish roast chicken and the prime steak frites. All really good although maybe the entrees were a bit salty. We ordered too much food and drink so the nearly five hundred dollar bill was our fault. Great service, fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.”

Our smoothies were fresh, perfectly blended, and tasted amazing. The food came out quick and exactly how we ordered it. The whole place felt clean, upbeat, and well-managed.

Riddhi’s customer service is what will keep us coming back. It’s rare to find someone who makes you feel that appreciated as a customer. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Geneva!”

Firewater BBQ n BREW 524 W State St, Geneva Barbecue • $

“Rating this place is difficult because I love BBQ and I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile. The first time coming here (take out) was fantastic. Plenty of food, good prices, good service, and delicious food. The second time (dine -in) following a few months was not the same. Food was not all that tasty and Mac & cheese is always spicy regardless requesting without spice. It just didn’t hit the same. I do enjoy this place and want to visit a third but unsure if it’ll be like loving my first visit or settling like my second visit. Regardless, I still believe this might be one of the best BBQ place in the suburbs, which coming from is says a lot. I have had plenty of ribs from plenty of places!”

“Food is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and chill. The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. We were there with my 7 and 10 year old for dinner. My son has special needs and they were so great with him. At the end of the dinner when they could see I was struggling a bit with my son, one server came to me and said, “don’t worry mama, we got you.” So kind. Thank you Stockholms for being an amazing place. Highly recommend. Highly highly recommend.”

“Service was awful! Our server, Joselyn, slammed down the glasses of water 5 minutes after we were seated, took our order and never saw her again until she slammed the bill down at our table. We saw her for a total of 3 minutes in the 45 minutes we were there. Unfortunately for Joselyn, her tip reflected her poor service. I tip 20-25% for good service, she lost out and made the restaurant less desirable to return. However, the burger was juicy and delicious, the macaroni and cheese was outstanding!”

“The staff have been really rude to me ever since I pointed out that my tab was wrong and I was overcharged. I wasn't upset about the double charges, I just wanted them corrected. I've barely been waited on since then it seems. I tried to step in a help once when a patron had been over served. It wasn't welcomed at all. I was given the same look as I get when I walk up to the bar to get a drink. Too bad, it's really close to home to me. I haven't been in over a year and have no plans on returning.”

The Walrus Room 415 W State St #105, Geneva Fine Dining • $$$

“Walrus Room is a solid five star restaurant. Table service is fantastic. Our server knew the menu inside and out, provided useful recommendations and was very attentive without being pesty. Starting with the appetizers four of us had Shrimp DeJohgne, the Burrata, Curds and Chorizo Mussels. All very very good. From their extensive lists the ladies had wine and I had bourbon. For dinner we ordered the walleye on rice, Amish roast chicken and the prime steak frites. All really good although maybe the entrees were a bit salty. We ordered too much food and drink so the nearly five hundred dollar bill was our fault. Great service, fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.”

I opted for the lamb chop special and my husband had the misto de mare, both were delicious. To finish our wonderful dinner, we had the lemoncello and mascarpone cake. Scrumptious!”

Livia Italian Eatery 207 S 3rd St, Geneva Italian • $$

“Limited menu done right. Portions are small but prepared with care. Always consistent. Shy away from the calamari friti. I’ve had it a few times and hoped it would get better . Barely any shrimp the “ piece. Contained are small and few as is the actual squid. Loaded with veggies instead. Not a value or good choice! The twin medallions of beef are delicious but not substantial. The white fish is the best dish on the mine!”

This is the first place I've come across with fresh and mostly all-natural ingredients that still delivers a classic breakfast experience. The breakfast burrito, salt and vinegar cracklins, honey biscuits, fried green tomatoes and honey bun pancakes are to die for. I love that they have house made recipes for ketchup and 100% pure maple syrup. This place comes highly recommended.”

Los Cantaritos 1772 S Randall Rd, Geneva Mexican • $

“Best steal burrito I've had. It was an actual steak, grilled then cut to pieces, not the chopped steak that's been on a grill forever. Perfectly seasoned, almost didn't need any salsa (and that's part of my reason for getting burritos!). Husband loves pastor and is a bit of a connoisseur and said it was phenomenal. The red sauce is a good actual pepper red, not too hot. The green sauce is the best verde sauce I've had. Very authentic on both. The house salsa was very fresh and bright, with some heat to it. Or server was very polite and accommodating. We may have found a new favorite. 5/5.”

Subway 2000 W State St A, Geneva Sandwich Shop • $

“I went in to the Subway a little before 9 PM, as I was curious about what time they closed at, and was met with such wonderful and friendly customer service by the gentleman at the sub station that I ended up buying a footlong Subway Club. They were closing for the night in 5 minutes, and they helped me with my order, regardless of my timing! They got everything back out so it was prepped and ready just for me. (The Club Sub was delicious, too!) It is precisely these reasons why I am giving a full 5-star review for this Subway.

That kind of excellent care for the customer, satisfying food and welcoming atmosphere is rare in foodservice. As a local in the Tri-City area with plenty of restaurants to choose from, the convenience of it being so close to home and the friendliness of the staff means I will be back for more. (And now that I know they close at 9 PM; I'll try to be more appreciative of their work schedule by trying to get there at least half an hour before closing.)”
