Our 2nd visit to NYK, this time to enjoy a beautiful fall Saturday afternoon in Canandaigua with the Mrs.
The burger was dynamite?! ?
The charcuterie board was a bit disappointing given the price.
Service was great, just like our 1st visit. Great dining spot with a great location.

Bought a gift card online. They shipped it to the wrong address. They are not great at the details. Went there once for a cooking class. It was okay. Experience was fun. Recipe was only okay.

Every single time I have been in to either eat or listen to music,the service has been terrible.Nobody seems to know what they are doing.You go to the bar and get ignored for several minutes and never get what you asked for.I’ve never had a problem with the food but that too was a horrible experience.They need somebody in there that actually knows what their doing.A lot of good people that worked there and actually knew something aren’t there anymore.

The meal we had was very slow, my Beef on Weck sandwich wasn’t hot when I did finally get it. Didn’t taste that great. The soda was flat as well. Now I’m feeling pretty sick.
I wouldn’t ever eat here again.
Server was super nice though.

After a long day of sightseeing in your beautiful state, we wanted to sample some of the wines that the vineyards along Lake Seneca produced. We stopped in at the bar/tasting room at New York Kitchen. It was an absolutely delightful experience. We ordered two different flights of wine, which arrived immediately and then we were educated by the staff on the virtues of each wine. We ordered a basket of fries to nibble on. They were crisp, hot, and delicious. We relaxed, enjoying our wine, as we watched the staff attend to each guest promptly and with care for their order. Special shout out to Chris, Laura, and Allyssa! Your kindness was such fun and you made our visit wonderful. Absolutely five stars *****

Walking into a completely empty restaurant at lunch time on a beautiful fall day should have been a sign for me to go to one of the other nearby establishments which all seemed to have plenty of guests but I ventured into NY Kitchen Cafe anyway. No one was anywhere to be found as I approached the host stand so I ventured to the bar where I found a thin male manager and blond female employee with an eye patch in the middle of some type of altercation. I awkwardly asked for a menu although I felt that I was bothering them and again should have made a different choice. After sitting at the bar in the entirely empty restaurant the male manager took my order. While waiting the 30 minutes for my sandwich I was forced to listen to all of their complaints including thoughts on their employer and problems within the workplace and other employees/managers. Such an odd experience. After the 30 minute wait I decided to take my sandwich to go and eat in my car which was more enjoyable than this miserable setting filled with disgruntle, unprofessional employees.

My husband and I had a gift card and went to NY Kitchen restaurant for dinner on our anniversary. It was Labor Day weekend and we weren’t in any hurry and knew it might be busy. We were able to be seated right away. There was a very large party of a younger crowd celebrating a birthday. This was no fault of the restaurant, but it was on the loud side. There were fresh flowers on the table which was a nice touch. We were seated at a table with a nice view. It took a little longer than average to get our drinks. Again, we were not in a hurry and we were understanding of the wait. We ordered charcuterie as a starter. It was good and there were plenty of options for the 2 of us. It felt a bit underwhelming and not as high quality of meat and cheese for the price. The best thing on the board was the candied pecans. The cheese options were simple, summer sausage was one of the meat choices, and the sausage was on the bland side. We also ordered white chicken bacon pizza and Buffalo cauliflower. The pizza crust looked overly stretched out, brown along edging and undercooked on the bottom. It needed to cook maybe 1 minute more. The pizza itself was underseasoned and bland. Now, the white chicken bacon pizza has a lot of ingredients and usually on their own would be quite tasty. There was no flavor to the pizza. I’m not sure if it was an off night or if something was missing. The chicken on its own did not taste like anything. No salt, pepper. The caramelized onions were light in color and not flavorful, the mushrooms were thickly chopped. I was very hungry that evening since I did not eat much that day, so the first slice of pizza went down quick. It was definitely good. But it wasn’t very good. The second piece I was able to notice the lack of flavor. The Buffalo cauliflower was the best thing I ate. The only downside was it wasn’t very crispy, I know it’s very hard once you add sauce. The sauce was flavorful and had a little kick to it. I would order those again. Overall, the food was meh especially for the price and reputation. Everything seemed bland or not cooked as intended. I would guess it was an off night. I would consider attending a cooking class here, but I don’t think I would eat at the restaurant again.

We had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at NYK this past weekend and we couldn’t be happier! Evan had excellent communication throughout the time leading up to the event and I knew everything would go smoothly. They accommodated a last minute/in the moment addition for our party and did so seamlessly. They also provided excellent service and our guests were consistently checked on for if they wanted any more beverages! They provided dietary accommodations seamlessly as well. Our guests loved the steak, chicken, and falafel. They were very kind and let us continue enjoying our wedding weekend prior to sending the bill. It’s also a convenient location by the Lake House to continue the celebration. Definitely recommend if people are looking into NYK for a private event!
We waited an extremely long time to be served. Dinner was warm at best. The order was wrong and did not receive the correct protein until everyone else was done with their dinner. We then waited to long for the check we had to ask for 3 times. I would not recommend this restaurant.

I've done several cooking classes here now. It's pricey but not really when you think about what you would spend at a nice restaurant. The food is fresh and local and such a fun date night. We've gone with friends and just met other couples too. Always had a blast.

Our group had reservations for 6 people for a cooking class on a Friday night. We went to check in and they didn't have our reservation. Just kept saying "you're not in the system." Refused to do anything for us, basically said we were lying despite 1. having and showing them a confirmation email from Sebastian and 2. having paid nearly $600 months ago and had the charge on the credit card. After wasting 45 minutes of time trying to get a resolution, they FINALLY "found" our reservation and offered to issue a refund as if we were supposed to be so grateful for doing the absolute bare minimum. Never mind it's a summer Friday night in Canandaigua and no other decent restaurant had seating. Wouldn't do anything else for us that night, couldn't even give us any compensation to the NY kitchen restaurant on site (that is a separate entity apparently). Overall, very rude. Management absolutely failed the employee they had working that evening. There was no manager available to speak to us that night. No problem solving skills at all. Go at your own risk.
