Restaurants in Geneva

“The absolute best restaurant around- and by around I mean most of NY. This place is extraordinary in both food and service, and it is impossible to be disappointed here. I promise- try it. You’re welcome.”

“Great spot in Geneva, great quick service, good wine, cozy and very comfortable place. We've stopped in a few Sundays in a row, chicken riggies are delicious but different than they are in Utica.
And if your coming from Rochester the French sauce wouldn't be my top choice.”

“Showed up on a Sat afternoon, about 1 pm. Parking lot was full and thought there would be no seating inside - however, we were able to get a table. Was not familiar with everything on the menu, so it took a while to decide on what we wanted (while standing in line and slowing down others behind us - sorry) We ordered the 3-meat sampler tray - brisket was very tender (wish there had been a little more). Ribs were very tasty and tender (only 2). We also ordered the half chicken. Came with 2 sides (we had the mac salad and salt potatoes). Meal came with a big chunk of cornbread. We split the meal between 2 of us. I have an issue with some flavorings and spices, but this meal did not cause me any problems. The 'salt potatoes' were not true salt potatoes, had garlic and were somewhat smashed. I would have preferred them according to what was expected. Condiments were a sweet sauce and honey mustard sauce. The sweet sauce was exceptional (do they sell that?) The cornbread came with actual corn in it. Our dining companion ordered the pulled pork dinner - came with three servings featuring the different sauces. Noticed complaints about the ordering and service style, but we didn't have an issue with that. I can see how the ordering line can get backed up, tho, during the busy times. Our food took maybe about 20-25 min to be ready. Overall - everyone enjoyed the food. The seating consists of wooden chairs, not the most comfortable, but may be their way of hurrying people out once they have completed their meal. It was a pleasant winter day with sunshine and mild temps - we did notice some outdoor seating. I presume during seasonal months there are options to eat outdoors. Pricing for 3 diners was ~ $100, with tip, but with leftovers, we did get another meal out of it.”

“The food was outstanding but the menu is a little limited and very specific. The volume of the restaurant and music is on the louder side so if you are looking for a quiet place this isn’t it. It’s also not cheap so be prepared… but again the food was great!”

“The experience was incredible. The knowledge of the staff, service and food was impeccable‼️🥰❤️❤️We will be backl‼️”

“Yummmmm ! Thank you Water St Cafe for reaching out, supporting, and feeding our troupe!”

“My husband and I stopped here tonight and had a lovely dinner. Atmosphere is so cozy, beer and food were great!”

“The Habachi chicken and shrimp is good.. but the yummy banana rolls are awesome!!!”

“We visited Vinifera on Saturday the 2nd of March. The place was hopping. Was a wonderful atmosphere. The host Kate was very fast, personable, and informational of the questions we asked. We will be going back and suggest to anyone who happens to be in the area to book your spot and experience the place, you will love it.”

“We've been there many times for cocktails. I like to try new drinks and the bartenders deliver. Don't think I've had a cocktail I didn't like. Started going there for brunch, as well. Chef is quite creative. Had a Breakfast Gumbo that was absolutely delicious. Perfect seasonings/heat. Casual atmosphere. The street is closed on weekends during the summer. There are other eateries and bars and the atmosphere turns party like. Highly recommend!”

“The best BBQ in Geneva! 🔥”

“Great place to chill out and have a glass of wine”

“Excellent hoagie. The bread melts in your mouth it’s so soft. Good quality meat, fresh ingredients, very friendly staff. Wholesome hole in the wall experience, typically my favorite spots, off the beaten path and a place only locals go. Must try their, mixed Italian, get all the fixers, Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo, oil, sweet peppers ??9.3/10”

“Dana hit a Grand Slam with us last night. As always the food was delicious. If you haven’t already had a meal and you’re hungry Dana’s won’t disappoint you. Thank You for the great food and service.”

“La Oaxaqueña has truly excellent quesadillas that will fill you up and have great flavor. I'm really impressed with recent improvements as well, it's great to have more seating to sit and stay a while. They also have great pan dulce, don't miss it!”

“Stopped in on my travels. Felt like I was on the couch in my living room. Very relaxing and the coffee was delicious! Will be back for sure!”

“This place was awesome! The price and serving size was great. There was no line and plenty of staff working. The best part was the large playground and sitting area behind the shop!”

“Friendly staff and the best cup of coffee I’ve had in a while !”

“The best experience of wine tasting in your entire life. Top #1 winery in the Finger Lakes. Everything tastes good, looks good, feels good and absolutely beautiful. They offer something for literally everyone and they just make your experience from start to finish so memorable!”

“My 17 year old said the bento 🍱 box he got was the best food he has EVER had in his life! 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Love it all. Cakes are the best ever”

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!”

“Very good delicious food plus there’s a bar if you would like to have your little drink”

“Thank you for being 100% dog friendly! We came down on memorial Day weekend with our pup, it was raining and kind of crappy out, but, Lake Drum brewing had great ciders, popcorn, an awesome vibe, and Sam, the bartender was the best. Our dog Cora had a great time and so did we! We will definitely be back.”

“Always fresh alway tasty.”

“Last June I came up to see my partner and we went to Long Pier Icecream, we each got a cone and they were bigger than I expected, the staff were super friendly as well. And the area around the shop is so scenic.

Once I finally moved up the first thing I wanted to do this summer is head down there to get some icecream with my partner.”

“Great place!! Great staff! Bands are awesome!!”

“This is the best place to go out to dinner!”

“Twisted Rail Geneva is a beautiful venue for music!”

“excellent food and service”

“We chose Geneva, NY because it is halfway between our two families and we both really love wine. Zugibe was on the top of my list from the beginning, but I was so happy that it was just as beautiful in person as it was in the photos. We had the whole venue to ourselves, which was so great. The views were spectacular, and we for to watch the sunset during dinner. The wine was delicious--we drank rose all night. Amy was so easy to work with and her staff were so on top of it. She was flexible with us doing our rehearsal two days early, and allowed us to drop things off at the venue well in advance, which was so helpful. There was not one thing I asked Amy that she did not find a way to make it work. We originally wanted to do the dancing outside in front of the pavilion (due to weather we ended up under the tent), but Amy was so helpful and willing to make that work. We had a perfect day at Zugibe.”

“just go. you will like it.”

“Great food and staff! Great place!”

“The steak dinner was amazing and great night out, thank you Chuck and staff.”

“Great place to eat if you are in the mood for some Caribbean Cuisine! Ceviche is not on the menu yet, but the owner makes it if you ask him. We had great time! Sea snail in garlic oil was very good! Margarita is excellent!”

“Today my wife and I grabbed slices for lunch, and I must say it was pretty delicious, cooked to perfection, with zero flop. I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza and would happily eat there again and will be. Bravo Guys!”

“Had a Chill Out Stout. .. it was delicious!”

“Love this place! Super great family that owns and runs this place, great cooks, and awesome Chinese food! You can customize your orders (X-Spicy, X-Crispy, Xtra sauce etc) 😋 👌 and delivery is always pretty quick w/ piping hot food!”

“This is one of my son’s favorite places to visit in Geneva. Geneva Gelato always has delicious flavors to choose from as well as coffee, tea, and other desserts. Recently, Geneva Gelato hosted my son’s fourth birthday party, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It was a wonderful venue for family and friends to celebrate. We were able to come a little early to do a little setting up, we were able to bring our own cupcakes, and they even gave goody bags to all the kids who came. The staff was so accommodating and kind; they even joined us in signing Happy Birthday to my son. What a fantastic place! I highly recommend visiting or asking about small events.”

“Stopped in with my daughter and her friend and was very pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere of the store. The cashier was very friendly and approachable and knowledgeable.The manager in charge was very professional, friendly and courteous..
Thank you for making a quick bite to eat such a enjoyable experience.”

“We went to the mother's day brunch and found the food to be great and the atmosphere friendly.”

“Our server daisy was polite and helpful when we didn’t know what to get also was very funny with good energy will most definitely come back best service ever”

“The soft ice cream is absolutely delicious. Very good quality. And the staff there is very friendly very good place to go.”

“All good here now that they include everything in my pick up orders! They didn't in the beginning. Things would be missing regularly. Its been perfect tho lately thank god because these are the best trash plates in the state!!! Best meat sauce ive ever had. The ice cream place at the bottom end of geneva who sells trash plates...idk what the hell that sauce is, but its unlike any sauce that ANYONE puts on trash plates ANYWHERE! Its so odd. Its 90% liquid and tastes/smells like some badly made chili. I've gotten 25+ cheeseburger Salvie plates since they opened in Geneva. The girls would vouch for me on that im not exaggerating. The beautiful ladies working the front counter have improved drastically with customer service too. Glad to see this place thriving like it should”

“I felt they were a bit pricy the first time I ordered a sub, but it was so large that it fed me for three days. One can not complain about that! And it was delicious.”

“very expensive and horrible service…the waiter had to be told what we needed instead of asking us first,food was COLD not warm but COLD…we were sat down without plates or napkins when given our appetizer and when asked it took almost 15 minutes to recieve them the waiter also never asked how the food was or anything else…FIRST AND LAST TIME GOING HERE!!!!”

“Kudos to this establishment, it's the most personable Subway I've ever been to. Happy, friendly, and so helpful. Arrived 10mins after noon, and they operated like a smooth running machine! I will definitely return to this business! Congrats on a very happy customer! ?”

“best Chinese food ever!!!!”

“Came for the Friday Fish special and was not disappointed. It was popular and we had to wait about a half hour for a table at dinner time. There is a large selection of draft and bottle beers. The service was okay and loved the atmosphere. Would return the next time around town.”

“Way better than Dunkin! Better prices than Dunkin with their app too! The donuts are the best I’ve ever had. Their always fresh and no matter what Dunkin I go to the donuts just aren’t as good”

“Great Food Ever 💯 Recommend Stop By and Get The Menu For The Best Food Ever in Town The Hideout …. Delicious 😋”

“Our family planned a surprise birthday party in their private dining room this week. From the moment we walked in to set up, the staff especially Phyllis met our every need. Within our first five minutes through the door, we had drinks in our hands and support with anything we needed. Everything from the property to the food, and even the music, was exactly what we were hoping for. Phyllis spent the entire time thinking about how she could help. Everyone truly enjoyed their time there.”

“Pizza is always hot and on time.....and delicious!”

“I just had one of the best fish fry’s ever! Way to go Joe Shell!”

“Always a great time! We love the food/wine pairings and Judy at the tasting bar! Glad to see Morton roaming the deck on Sunday!”

“Best fish fry in town!!! Great food, great service and amazing atmosphere.”

“We were there for a late lunch on a beautiful day and ate outside for the view. The seafood chowder was delicious! Great selection of sandwiches etc. Everything was acceptable although a little on the pricey side for lunch. Would I go back? Definitely for the soup (can I get that recipe?). I also think on a cold day inside at the expansive bar (with a view) and the stone fireplace would be great.”

“The salman/risotto/brussel sprouts was delicious, and my husband loved the filet. The burrata appetizer and choc. crusted cheesecake were the perfect book ends, and the view and spectacular view of Seneca lake made for a memorable evening. Brandon was an exceller server, thank you!”
