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.”

“Exceptional pasta and food quality. Don't forget to order the focaccia with ricotta for an appetizer. Olive oil cake for dessert is a favorite.

Service was top notch and very attentive. Recommendations spot on.

Parking lot was a little tricky as it was busy and there was limited parking. The bar has a good atmosphere at the front and had live music. Maybe a little loud for an intimate dinner but there's the back dining room which was a perfect for a date night.”

“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 absolute best place to eat in the Fingerlakes! Very accommodating for those with food restrictions or allergies/intolerances! The food is healthier than most restaurants (hello, no seed oils). But, more importantly it is undoubtably delicious! This place is gem! Make this place your next meal out!”

“Patti, our server was engaging and funny. She made sure we had everything we needed, even spoons! She deserved a much larger tip than we left.”

“Excellent food, excellent service. Highly recommend and will be back!”

“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!”

“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.”

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

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

“The most enjoyable time meeting the owner Joe, and experiencing his Manhattan and Vieux Carre. Great attention to detail and a master at craft cocktails. You need to visit Linden Social if in Geneva!”

“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.”

“Love This Place! Best Chai Latte Ever!”

“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!”

“My husband and I got married at Club 86 and chose Bagels and Cakes for our desserts, mostly out of convenience at first, but we are so glad we did! We got a cutting cake, as well as other assorted desserts - lemon vanilla cupcakes, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes, snickerdoodle bars (my favorite), brownies (his favorite), and cream puffs (everyone’s favorite!!). Our family is still raving about the desserts days later. It was all beautiful and so very delicious.

As a side note, we have also eaten lunch here a few times and enjoyed all the food! Can’t wait to go back!”

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

“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!!”

“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!”

“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!”

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

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

“Awesome local bar with some amazing staff. Great location downtown. They have an outdoor area right on the sidewalk with a DJ on Thursday nights. We had a great time and the staff stayed open late to accommodate our group. We got some take out pizza up the street and enjoyed it on the outdoor bar with the DJ. They do have some political posts on the windows but don’t let that affect you since the staff are friendly to all patrons.”

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

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

“Great pub in the heart of the Finger Lakes, in Downtown Geneva. Wonderful atmosphere, that makes you feel at home no matter what walk of life you are from! When food is offered it is top notch! A wide selection of drinks including Irish Brews, Ales, Lagers, Craft Beers, and Cider, (light beer options as well). Extensive liquor options! The owners and staff are lots of fun, it's always a great time at Kelly's Irish Pub!! Don't miss out on this old school style Irish-decor pub!!!”

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

“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.”

“Great food and staff! Great place!”

“A staple of geneva for many years, now under new management. Fun place to chill 😎 Drinks at a great price! Highly recommended for friends and fun! The jukebox is pretty cool too!”

“We had this pizza tonight in Geneva, New York. It was a 35 minute wait on a Monday night. All 4 of us all thought the dough was really tough. We ordered extra sauce and they did not disappoint; it was really good. We got a 12 cut - pepperoni pizza 🍕 Rating: 6/10”

“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.”

“The Truffle Portobello Mushroom Ravioli is amazing!”

“Ordered Scallops Alfredo they were terrible. I took it home bc Alfredo sauce had too much parm cheese. I took it home made an au gratin sauce it was fantastic”

“Lovely restaurant with a terrace overlooking the vineyards and lake. Fast, friendly service.
The menu was a bit surprising - from a winery restaurant, you’d expect something more refined than pizza.
Still, we had a wonderful evening, enjoyed the atmosphere, and the local wine was excellent and reasonably priced.”

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

“We love ordering Salvatores’s pizza. We recently ordered a large turkey sub after a the movies. It was huge compared to the W. grocery chain. The bread was so much nicer as well. I highly recommend their offerings.”

“Steering my car through the drive-thru at this Arby's was a breeze – quick, easy, and exactly what you want when a craving hits! And, as any true Arby's connoisseur (or even a casual fan) knows, those curly fries are a masterpiece. They're consistently delicious, and frankly, they never disappoint.

For me, stopping at Arby's is always a special treat. I opted for the BBQ Bacon Burger, and it was absolutely fantastic – a perfect blend of smoky, savory, and satisfying. Being from Korea, where this glorious establishment doesn't exist (sadly, a fact I lament often!), every visit feels like a pilgrimage. So, yes, you could say I was beyond satisfied. It's more than just a meal; it's a taste of something wonderfully elusive!

If you're in the Geneva area and appreciate a fantastic burger like the BBQ Bacon, along with those iconic curly fries, definitely swing by. You won't regret it!”

“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! ?”

“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!!!!”

“We love Tim Hortons when we are in the area.
Breakfast sandwiches are better than the usual fast-food items at other chains. Good coffee, nice selection of pastries, and reliable friendly service. Wish there were Tim Hortins in our part of the USA!”

“best Chinese food ever!!!!”

“Erin is AMAZING!

The restaurant is clean, seating and service were fast and good. But Erin made this meal extra special. She is friendly. She was attentive, coming to check on us throughout our time. And I noticed that she has regulars, they know her name and smile.

God willing, I'll open my business this year. Be careful Denny's... I'm coming for Erin!”

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

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

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

“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.”

“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!”

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and really solid food. Stonecutters Tavern has that perfect balance of relaxed and welcoming while still feeling like a place you want to come back to. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you’re in the area.”

“This place was awsome. We looked at the reviews and were skeptical but so glad we came. Our waiter Josh was amazing. He was courteous always checking and asking how's everything? Do u need anything? Couldn't be better. Treated like royalty. My salmon and risotto was tasty. My fiance had scallops and risotto which he enjoyed even had room for desert. Gluten free chocklate torte. Our experience was great 5 stars!!!”
