Restaurants in Geneva

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

“Great cocktails, fresh ingredients and diverse menu. From the moment we walked in the door without a reservation, we were treated like royalty.
Our server Brennan was a pro! We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“The food is outstanding! Super fresh, local ingredients, cooked properly. Ordered the specials of the day: grilled rainbow trout and ribeye with potatoes. The ingredients itself was so high quality-beef that tasted super beefy, medium rare done at exactly medium rare… the sides… the sauces… nothing was overly seasoned or salty, all the accompaniments were done well. Ordered seasonal local veggies as an appetizer… omg, so fresh, so good! Atmosphere is comfortable and airy, service so nice and friendly!”

“excellent food and service”

“The best BBQ in Geneva! 🔥”

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

“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!!”

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

“This place is the bomb. I’m from Colorado and I come to Geneva for work every year. I always make sure to stop by Lake Drum. Great atmosphere. There are always cool people to talk to if that’s your thing or plenty of room to just chill. They have a nice assortment of beer as well.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Will always love grounded! Best coffee, great atmosphere, and the employees are always nice!”

“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!”

“I really like bagels and cakes for breakfast lunch or dinner. My kids love going here and playing games while we wait for our food. They have a book shelf with board games and card games for patrons to use. The dining room is cozy with dining tables you would find in someone's home. The food is always good and the prices are too. One of my kids always orders a chocolate chip pancake no matter what time of day we go. While my other child likes the acai bowls. I love the breakfast sandwiches, burgers, pasta, salads pretty much everything on the menu. They serve beer and wine too. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Geneva we eat here about 2x a month for easy quick dinners. Their specialty cakes are amazing. If you really want to impress a group or individual on a special occasion recommend the strawberry layered vanilla cake!”

“Such a cute and unique ice cream spot! This was my first time seeing an ice cream shop with a drive-through, which was really nice. You can either park and order from the window or simply use the drive-through.

They had a good variety of ice creams, and everything we tried tasted really good. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and quick with our order. The hot fudge was definitely a standout and one of my favorite parts.

Prices were also very reasonable for the quality and experience. Overall, a fun little place with good ice cream, great service, and a unique drive-through experience. Definitely worth a stop!”

“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.”

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

“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”

“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!”

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

“Love this place and the ladies behind the bar are excellent at what they do!”

“Great food. Sometimes they put in a little extra for you to try - keeps you coming back!”

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

“Definitely my favorite restaurant in Geneva! Always feel welcome and have great meals.”

“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!”

“Excellent food and very kind people. I had the half chicken dinner and it was delicious, especially the mac and cheese. I added a slice of sweet potato pie for later and I'm glad I did! I will definitely be back”

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

“Always fresh alway tasty.”

“Great staff, delicious beers, excellent music, and beautiful lake view.”

“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.”

“We tried their wine ice creams, particularly their strawberry daiquiri and Bailey ice creams. Both ice creams were delicious and wonderful! Staff were very nice and courteous.”

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

“This place is great. We found it on a weekend trip to the Finger Lakes. Very welcoming atmosphere & the owners were awesome! Can't wait to go back! Your friends from Cleveland, Ross & Trav”

“We had a great experience last friday. The food was delicious, the staff was fantastic, and the owner was super sweet and friendly. We'll be back for sure”

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

“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.”

“Great food and staff! Great place!”

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

“just go. you will like it.”

“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!”

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

“waterfalls catering Brisket!!!!! Mac salad is the bomb...”

“Tuscan vibes!!

If you’re planning a Finger Lakes trip, Ventosa Vineyards is an absolute must-stop! The moment you arrive, the Tuscan-inspired architecture and peaceful valley setting make you feel like you’ve escaped to the Italian countryside.

The real magic happens around sunset. The beautiful views, rolling landscape, and quiet atmosphere create the perfect backdrop to slow down and soak it all in.

Whether you’re visiting with your date for a romantic evening, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying some peaceful solo time, this place has a special charm that works for every mood.

Come for the Tuscan vibes, stay for the sunset! It’s one of those places where you can sit back, enjoy the scenery, and let the moment do its thing.

If Ventosa isn’t on your Finger Lakes itinerary yet, add it. You’ll thank yourself later!”

“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!”

“I hope y'all read this that run this place. First off this is one of my favorite Chinese food in the area including the one in phelps. You guys need to pay attention to your small shrimp. This is the first time I had bad shrimp from here. The last time I had bad shrimp was also the small ones in phelps. You guys make excellent food but throw out the bad shrimp please. This was last night and im missing work bc of it. Your food would've had 4 stars but bad shrimp is a serious thing”

“This place used to be a Pizza Hut. They kept everything the same where possible, and so that old-school atmosphere is there. The food is great! Best Salvatore's in this area! On this visit, we dined in and got slices. But we've also gotten take-out several times and have not been disappointed. The owner is nice and personable. Keep up the good work!”

“These guys did a great job making it right when the app messed up over charging me they absolutely made it right foods hot and fresh and service is fast Ty guys for upgrading my food to make up for the app messing up”

“We didn't know they closed at 9 and we got there at 835 but they still let us come in cause we both got something simple to make. Highly recommend and I have gone here before the food never disappoints.”

“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!!!!”

“best Chinese food ever!!!!”

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

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

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

“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”

“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! ?”

“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!”

“All four of us really enjoyed our food and drinks here. Mine was a grilled chicken wrap with bourbon BBQ sauce that was amazing. Several craft beers on tap as well as Yuengling. Lady with us loved her pulled pork sandwich with same sauce I had. Good service good portiond you can chat and reasonable prices and attentive service.”

“This was my first visit to Bellhurst Castle. I'd heard about it for years but never went until now. My husband had the Toasted Italian Panini and was very satisfied with it. I had the Grilled Chicken Caprese. It tasted great with a mix of chicken, pesto mayo, balsamic dressing, tomatoes on a toasted garlic bun. Just a fair warning, it's messy and the bun got soggy. Dessert was scrumptious. It was a chocolate chip cake and I would recommend it. The atmosphere felt a bit stuffy with dark walls and carpeting. We ate at the bar and I thought they had the most comfortable bar chairs I've experienced. Yes, it was pricey. Over $60 before tip.”

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

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

“I love this denny's. I've been twice since moving here and it's been the most wonderful experience both times. The staff is so utterly welcoming and joyful it's so wonderful. The server I had last night, Mike, was absolutely amazing. He gave such amazing service and was so funny. He delivered my hot chocolate in a way that could never be imagined and created a lifetime memory with my friend. Truly a great man. Thank you Mike. All the servers and workers there are so kind- multiple checked in to make sure our food was good. Overall this denny's is amazing. And it's decorated for fall and is so cozy. Please, go to this denny's. Especially at any time after 8-9pm.”

“Absolutely amazing experience ! We got engaged at the Belhurst castle and had an amazing dinner afterwards.
Ronnie was amazing and so sweet , helped make our night so special!!”
