Very bummed out. Had visited Kix a couple seasons back. Was phenomenal. Visited them again, late afternoon. Atmosphere always great. We proceeded to get an app, the calamari. I have to say, probably the best I can remember having. Cooked perfectly. So tender, melted in our mouths. The jalapeno aioli, great way to think outside the box. The marinara was great too. Seemed homemade.
Ordered dinner. I got the chicken French. Was descent. Maybe a hint of sweetness would have finished it. Came with asparagus, a starch would have been better. One of the ladies got the Alex's shaved ribeye sandwich. Looked impressive. Was a tad salty, comes with Au jus and it needs it. Beef was plentiful, but was dry(they must have and cook it ahead of time). The other lady got the fish sandwich. Sadly the fish was not made in house, appeared to be the widely available frozen Yuengling battered haddock available for food service. This bummed me out because I had gotten the fish sandwich a ways back in the past and it was clearly fresh and battered in house. We've been in the food service business for close to 40 years and when ya get a piece of fried fish and it's perfectly flat? Frozen. They didn't say it was fresh, so I can't really complain, but it was $22.00. As far as the service, our server was sub par. Not very attentive. Never came back within 5-10 to check on on food. Never checked in to see about refills. Lucky that she got 16%. Will try again. Hope it's a better experience.

A gem in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Solid staff with a great location. The menu is always rotating but is always solid and very good. One of my go to places as I'm not sure you can get a better meal for the money anywhere. I've been here many times and have never had a bad experience. I love their Beef Wellington and the monkey bread. Also their rotating salads are always so fresh and full of incredible flavor. Weather in the great atmosphere inside, out on Main St or upstairs overlooking downtown Canandaigua there are no bad tables. Combine that with the consistent food and top shelf service and friendly demeanor of the owners. The only thing is with such a great menu and such a great bar, lets get some large single ice cubes for when someone wants a real cocktail.

EXCELLENT! All the way around. Steve was an amazing server. The hazelnut coffee cocktail tasted like chocolate milk (in a good way) the beef Wellington was perfection & the red & white chicken parm was hands down THE best my husband & I have ever had in our lifetime.

To the man who drives the truck with the “Kix On Main” logo.
I hope you are just having an off day, and this is not how you behave. To start, I found it odd you did not acknowledge the ambulance coming from the opposite direction and figured maybe you did not see them or you were distracted, whatever the case may be. So red flag, number 1. Eventually I was closer behind you, and you decided to slam on your brakes and stop in the middle of the road. To which you put on your right hand signal, a waved me to pass you. As I proceeded to go around you, I was met with what I can assume as yelling, as I did not hear you, but you seemed rather upset. Red flag number 2. Then you proceeded to accelerate and tailgate me. Quite childish behavior, really. I truly hope this is not your everyday behavior. You need to do better. I find it wild that you would act that way while advertising (what I assume is) your restaurant.
Now, a real review. I find your food quite expensive for the quality served. I would, and will, do business elsewhere.

We were a bit disappointed in this experience. Not thrilled with the bill coming out with an automatic charge for using a credit card and not willing to split the bill and not allowing substitutions. Doesn't seem too conducive to providing good service.

Good food, not your standard menu which is very nice. You can tell a cheif has created the menu. They also do service differently in that when food is ready it comes out with or not eveyone has there. Great service and great food. Definitive have to try their roof top dinning!!
Friday night reservations, first visit. Seated promptly upstairs with a great view of Main street. Great appetizers. Had Ahi Tuna salad, my wife had meatball parm. Both fantastic. Staff attentive and professional. Will be sure to be on our agenda next trip to the area!!

Our great server handled our large and needy group with speed and efficiency while also training a new server. Good food that satisfied everyone if a bit on the expensive side but with cheaper options.

This is a hidden gem in Canandaigua. The food is creative and delicious and the service KiX butt. The ahi tuna nachos are a must try and we like ordering off the seasonal specials menu. The gazpacho with lump crab is awesome. Dishes often end up getting shared with the table so everyone can get a taste of as many as possible. The food comes out fast without feeling like you're being rushed, which is perfect for getting to a concert in good time or having extra time to stroll around town.
The staff and owner here are super friendly and make you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. Servers are attentive without being overbearing. If it's a nice day and you can get it, the outside seating is great as is the roof top.
We stumbled on this place a couple years ago and now it's our go to restaurant in Canandaigua. Don't pass it up.

Food was fantastic! Service was not. For a fine dining restaurant I would expect the service team would be more formally dressed, not in t-shirts and shorts. Had a reservation for 4, included a note about Birthday dinner, hostess had her back to the door and after waiting a few minutes for her to notice us, our server seated us in the back corner. Minimal attention to our table, no recognition of the note about a birthday dinner. This was our second try - we will not be back. Credit card Service charge... took away from your Server's tip.

Great food and drink. You will not leave here hungry, plan on it! My fish sandwich was very large but only could accommodate half of the fish put on the roll! Salads are great, too.
