Restaurants in Canandaigua

“A canandaigua hidden gem!”

“Amazing food and coffee! The server was friendly, the dining room is comfortable and cozy. Portion sizes are perfect!”

“Absolutely loved my visit to Working Class Coffee! The breakfast sandwich, seasoned potatoes, and coffee were all delicious — perfectly cooked and flavorful. The service was wonderful too. Derek and the barista were both kind and welcoming, and I really enjoyed chatting with Derek’s dad. I’ll definitely be back!”

“I am a bariatric surgery patient and I have a little card that requests if I can have a smaller portion (be it a senior portion or kids' portion). I gave it to my waitress (Heather) to have her check with the bosses. She came back and told me I could have whatever I wanted on the menu and they would accommodate my request. Heather was an absolute rockstar. She was quick with the meals, and even when she came out to let us know the lasagna was done for the day, you could tell she was worried we were going to complain (even though it wasn't her fault). We just went with the flow and she was great I'm not from the area, but I will definitely make a point to come back!”

“Love the atmosphere. Staff is exceptional, especially Jordan, our waiter. Food was delicious! Had calamari and reuben- yummy! Can't wait to go back.”

“A great local spot that has classic, comfort food! I was there for a girl's trip and we were craving bar food. This place was a Google suggestion and based on the menu alone, we were excited. Their country sweet wings were slap yo mama good 🤌🏾 We also had an excellent waitress that was helpfully honest about some of their food's quality, so we made the best choices. Would absolutely go back!”

“Excellent meal at Il Posto tonight! We highly recommend the restaurant for your next cultural experience! Delicious!”

“We had 8 of us show up and we were served outside with our two dogs while they were also hosting a huge indoor event! Food was delicious, drinks were right on and sitting outside with our dogs was lovely! I thought it would be a much longer wait for everything since they were so busy but it was not at all! They are also offering some kickball league, cornhole, and so much more! There’s live music every weekend and just an overall wonderful place to go.”

“exceptional food, staff, and service. Never disappoints!”

“This was the worst. Burger is paper thin and no flavor. Blue cheese burger with Bleu cheese mayonnaise dressing. Brown lettuce. Tasteless. $30, one bite and left.”

“My husband, mom, sister, and I were visiting Canandaigua for the weekend and were recommended to try Rhineblick. The service and food did not disappoint! From the cucumber salad to the schnitzel to the chocolate Sacher torte, everything was amazing. Our server, Mercy, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and so sweet. She even gave us some red cabbage and applesauce to go with our leftovers. Highly recommend!”

“Such a classy place - Great drinks , food & prices .”

“One of the best meals in memory. Everything was delish.”

“I absolutely love flavors restaurant. The food is incredible & the staff is very friendly as well! I drive 45 minutes just to get the chicken makhani with rice and naan bread, so delicious! I highly recommend checking this location out, they have the best Indian food I’ve ever had! Love this place.”

“Thank you for the awesome lunch and your patience while we placed the order today! The person who answered the phone was a rockstar. You guys are awesome! Wraps and subs were A+ 😎”

“Breakfast sandwiches are highly recommended with any type of bread offered they are all tasty!! Great environment and great ownership. Love the coffee options all tried have been very good so far!”

“Comfortable atmosphere and delicious choices ~ the English muffin bread grilled cheese with tomato was exactly on in every way. Look forward to visiting again !!”

“My family and I dined in on a busy Saturday for an early Mothers Day celebration. We have been coming to Nolan's for years (since we are locals) and the food and service NEVER disappoint. But our service with Jasmine was TOP NOTCH! Being in the industry myself for a very long time, people like Jasmine are rare and hard to find and she is a gem! Nolan's is lucky to have her! Service that excellent is extremely rare! Thanks for making our night out the most enjoyable!”

“Ordered a custom "Heart" shaped cake based on a photo a co-worker gave me. The cake was INSANE! Beautifully done and MUCH bigger than expected. These ladies do great work and it was a joy to present it to my friend for her birthday. She LOVED it. Thank you!”

“I’ll start this off by saying food is amazing! But we didn’t have the best experience tonight. Food came out wrong, appetizer came out with meal not before , waitress not that nice ,blamed me on food.”

“My new husband and I came to the Finger Lakes on our honeymoon. We were in Canandaigua and were recommended Wally's by a local for a late-night dinner. What a fantastic experience! We had the wings and the Wally's plate, and we’ll be thinking of both for a long time!”

“Very friendly outgoing staff & great bubble tea! Highly recommend!”

“My brother who is 83 couldn't find already popped popcorn at the grocery so I thought I would surprise him. I live in Missouri and called KP's in Canandaigua NY to buy and send him some. They politely said they only do events. Then they said they would drop off a couple bags at his house and wouldn't take pay for it. What a great loving company.”

“Tasty and thick hard ice cream, lots of hard and soft serve flavors to choose from ! They also offer cute little doggie dishes with a small amount of vanilla ice cream, peanut butter topping and a dog biscuit. My pup doesn’t often get “people snacks” but this was a very nice spot to break that rule!”

“We LOVED our first experience here. The homemade bread, sausage and baked goods were on point- along with one of the BEST biscuits and gravy ever- we honestly think this is one of the best places for breakfast in Canandaigua. We can’t wait to come back and try lunch! We loved hearing the history of this family woman owned and operated business! Cheers to a comfortable, cozy atmosphere with delicious food!”

“Food and server were nice. French onion soup excellent.”

“Cool venue. Great drinks!”

“always hot and delicious, great service and margaritas. The best Mexican food around here.”

“June 2025 Update

The pizza and staff are very good and that continued.
No improvements to the interior were made; the same torn shredded carpeting is present with no upgrade.

Previous Visits 2025 and 2024
The pizza is very good and the staff are nice and friendly. The dining rooms would be much nicer if they replaced the old worn-out, torn, stained carpeting. This presents trip hazards for customers. This drags down your dining experience and makes the place look really bad. The mens room door needs a cleaning.”

“Inviting staff. Rich flavorful brews! Staff willing to do some customizing! A new favorite!”

“My husband took me for dinner and ice cream this afternoon after a few errands. I was not able to enter the restaurant, as I have a badly broken foot and I rested in the car. My husband brought out a beautifully made sundae for me!! I would have gone inside and thanked the server, but I just needed to rest. Little did that server know, I will be having surgery in two days, and I have been in so much pain, unable to sleep, and hardly able to eat, from worry. That sundae cheered me up SO much!!!! You never know exactly who is on the receiving end of your work -- but that waiter made our sundaes as though they were a gift or from a fancy restaurant! I was so delighted! Thank you! (My husband said the server was young and had tattoos. Thank you for cheering me up!!)”

“Great lil place! We will be back again!”

“Delicious food and great service”

“Went to Rays for breakfast which was very good. Got the bill and there is charge for toast. Since when do you get charged for toast with eggs. The waitress should tell her customer that there is a extra charge for toast.”

“A very peasant way to spend the afternoon in view of water. Fun people watching. Nice selection of brews and wines. The charcuterie board could use a little more bread per serving, but is very tasty. Service was a bit inattentive on a slow afternoon.”

“great place .great atmosphere great people and great to be around people and have a good time .”

“Great staff and Delicious food consistently.”

“Great staff, fair pricing, and arguably the best pizza around! Love everything about their pizza! 🍕”

“Delicious ice cream! We love coming here!”

“The coffee here is so good! They always have a lot of different flavors and selections, and the customer service is great! Sam is really nice and makes a great iced coffee! I wish I discovered this place sooner!”

“Great atmosphere, Great food,Great people...”

“Staff is very helpful, management is understanding with requests. We love the food, atmosphere, and tasty desserts. A great place!”

“Celebrated my birthday at Casa de Pasta and it was great. My husband and I enjoyed a drink at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and made a great martini. At our table, our waitress seemed new but was friendly and the service was pleasant. The herbed whipped butter and bread were great. My gnocchi with a meatball was delicious, and my husband enjoyed his seafood fra diavolo. Very nice way to celebrate a birthday date night!”

“Would definitely recommend! Stopped while in town for the weekend and was glad we did. Everything was really good, friendly staff and quick service. Mac plate as is with pulled pork... 👍👍 delicious!”

“Outstanding service and delicious sausage sandwiches ice cold beer! Local and community based!! Thank you Joe and staff!🌲”

“Had a great lunch there today, real breaded Chicken and killer Waffle fries.”

“Has the best clam chowder!! Great meal and service. Will definitely be a return customer.”

“Best brew in the Finger Lakes”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visit Star Cider all the time, and it never disappoints! The cider selection is phenomenal… so many unique, flavorful options that make every visit feel like a new adventure. Each sip is a perfect burst of sunshine in a glass!! Plus, they host such fun events that make every visit feel special! The staff are a huge part of why we keep coming back. They’re always upbeat, patient, and genuinely happy to be there. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, they make you feel welcome and appreciated. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and family-friendly. We always enjoy listening to the music, soaking up the sunshine, and sipping on the most delicious cider. It’s the kind of place that just makes you feel good!! Absolutely one of our favorite go-to spots. Highly recommend! 🍎☀️🎶🍻”

“Food is always hot, fresh and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend and I have tried several different dishes and they have all been wonderful. Best Chinese food in Canandaigua.”

“Delicious!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ♥️♥️♥️”

“Good food, great bartenders, pool table.”

“Awesome restaurant- Fantastic food, Friendly staff”

“This little gem is a family friendly place with a wonderful staff of friendly people. Ordered the Rueben, Turkey Rueben, Mahi Rueben, and a Cubano. The taste test was on . The sandwiches were all amazing with mouth watering juicy and delicious flavors. I can not offer the best because I highly recommend trying them all !!!”

“This is the most amazing little, hole in the wall, dive bar you can find. They have darts, two pool tables (although the railing really gets in the way for pool), and karaoke. We didn't get any food while we were there but they looked like they had a good selection. Aside from the just overall fun atmosphere, they had hilarious signs everywhere. It was fun to just try to read through them all. We will definitely be back!”

“I've been a customer of Nick's for years. The ambiance, food, service, and drinks are always impeccable.”

“Great brewpub on the lake. Nice selection of their beers on tap, and the bartender offered to let us try a sip before committing. Food was unexpectedly great. $3 taco's on Taco Tuesdays is a great deal.”

“The food is decent, but a few items i got, i barely at bc it just wasn't tasting right or texture was off.

Vegetarian options: The sweet sour chicken and the red sauce it cones w were delicious but lacked portion size. I ordered it large and felt it was a small”

“My husband and myself tried Beehive today 8.14.25 for the first time. It was delicious. My only complaint would be the outside didn’t really give you an obvious entrance area but the food was delicious and service was amazing. We will be back.”

“A few other Tim Hortons in the area were unfortunately temporarily closed, so this one was the closest to our route without going too far out of our way. This was our final Tim Hortons stop on our trip and will have to do until the next time we are in the area. The iced coffee was good as usual and a good accomplishment to the doughnuts.”

“I ordered 2 Mac and Cheese bowls not realizing they were a limited time item, the guy simply said “I’ll just put them in as a famous bowl and make it for you anyways with no convincing or questions needed. *Above and Beyond*”

“The crew today is so wonderful 😍
Always cheerful and positive!!!! which is very hard in customer service!!! People suck and can be so rude .
Thank you ladys for lifting me up and making me smile!”

“Food was good service was decent. place was deserted. looks as if they get no business. Please support your local businesses before we lose the places we love.”
