Her service is consistently phenomenal: friendly, attentive, and always welcoming. She truly goes above and beyond to make our time enjoyable. And of course—the food is fantastic! We always leave happy and full. Highly recommend stopping by The Pub and asking for Amaryllis. She’s the best!“

“My wife and I found this place while looking for parking. Turns out Mary's was a great discovery. I had a Reuben which was excellent. My wife had a burger that she wasn't thrilled with ( was from a frozen patty), and her fries were greasy. But we had great service and there is a friendly staff. We would go there again though.“

“What a neat place! The food was amazing, the service, and getting a reservation. My husband loved that they had mocktails on the menu too. The lemon cake … fantastic. The only thing that would’ve made it better, is if we could’ve sat closer to the water.“

“Always a must when we are in Geneva! Great food and prices. Fast and hysterical service!!! See you in May!“

“This is a great place to go for breakfast. Many selections on the menu. The food was good and prices are reasonable. Irene interacts with the patrons and makes the atmosphere welcoming.“

“Absolutely delicious food! Excellent service.“

“We’ve added The Boot to our regular rotation of restaurants. Wing Wednesday is crazy good and the wings are huge. We’re also big fans of the Friday fish fry. The soup sampler is genius and the soups have been really good. We have in the past had waitress issues, as others noted, but they have been really good lately. It’s loud and the ambiance is that of a no-frills local restaurant, but if you’re looking for an unpretentious place with great and affordable food, this is it.“

“Ice cold beer, great food and awesome people... You won't find a friendlier atmosphere on the strip. You're treated like family here...... And there's always something going on at the Lounge.. Karaoke Night, on Thursdays is a good way to have fun and show off your talent. Also on the weekends, are various bands. Come join the party.“

“10/7/2023: 10 of us from Canton Ohio walked to the “Water Street Bar” from our rental at 430 N. Broadway. It was a 1 minute walk to Water St. and another 1 minute walk down the St.. We had a great time at this little gem of a neighborhood bar, playing pool (2 tables). Very clean and spacious , lots of bar seats at the bar while watching pool. The owner Ernie, was generous buying us drinks and accommodating our various needs. Great place after a day of wineries. There was no food because they were only open 2 weeks after shut down from Covid but food was in their future. Friendly neighborhood bar, left a $100 Nike OSU jacket there that night and they had it waiting for us to comeback for it the next evening!“

“Amazing food and Nicole is the best so friendly and kind truly an amazing person!“

“Great prices and food. Went there to check out the karaoke cause I using go to the High Tide when I come up to GOTL. This is the best Karaoke venue in GOTL. Great system and DJ. Barry Weaver does a amazing job. I'm a DJ/Karaoke host myself in Northeast Ohio. I love singing there.“

“Great people and Great food. Stop in there for a great experience.. Thank you all.. Your the best...“

“The lobster lasagna was delicious! Very buttery and yummy. The cost is a little steep at $30 but it was worth it. The rest of the menu is very reasonably priced. The balsamic dressing is some of the best I've ever had. Service is a little slow. If you're thirsty, you might want you order 2 drinks at the same time. The lobster dip is great too. We love the old shooting game behind the bar. It still turns on after all these years.“

“Absolutely Great Food! Service is great and fast! Prices are very reasonable! Go get some!“
