This has got to be one of the best restaurants I've been to. The ambiance is casual, but the food is elegant! Our waitress helped with our ordering decisions by letting us know what the locals usually ordered. The place is very popular, so make a reservation (which is easily done online).

Nice staff, apologetic about two out of the four coffee urns being empty which included the flavor I desired. I was there nearly an hour, urns still not filled. Like the new signage and outdoor seating in this increasingly hip town but... the workflow needs work.

I drove by Bagels and Cakes each day I was here and the parking lot was always full so on my last day decided to see what the hubbub was about. Good breakfast food with a wide variety of options. From bagels, muffins and breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, traditional breakfast and other more creative options there is something here for everyone! Great price also and the coffee is really good. Highly recommend!

We stopped in on a Monday night after a day of wine tasting. This restaurant was highly recommended by friends who are vineyard owners in the area. We were not aware that Monday nights are prix fix dinner specials (Salmon) for $35.00 which my wife ordered. I had the fried chicken and poutine. Poutine was excellent, so was the salmon. My take on the chicken was that it was OK. The bartender was very good, beer and wine list were good and since we dined at the bar we were able to partake in happy hour. The location is a bit oddly located but the space is deceptively large while being welcoming. Definitely worth finding.

Cozy atmosphere, attentive staff, and great food. After several visits, this restaurant has held on to its high standards of innovative dishes and cool cocktails. I just love the Korean BBQ wings and the flank steak sandwiches - but you really must try the bacon-jam burger. They sell out fast, so order early. This place has become one of our favorites!

A college visit to Hobart and William Smith colleges brought us to Geneva and the Beef and Brew. What a terrific place. Fire in the fireplace and interesting menu choices made this place a perfect pick for a cold and rainy night. The beer cheddar soup and cabbage soup were great starters. We had delicious beef sandwiches. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the choices at this place. They will make any sandwich to order. Very friendly wait staff made for an excellent visit. Can't wait to return.

Ventosa Vineyard offers not only a great selection of wines, but a nice food selection, with great views. We chose to eat on the expansive back patio over looking the vineyards and Lake Seneca. It was a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the day.

Located on one of the Main streets (not the highway) in Geneva. We went here for dinner. The areas was very quiet as it was a week night. It is located on the street level of a 4 or 5 story brick building. When you walk in the main double door it appears that one side is the bar and to the right side the restaurant seating area. The restaurant was a typical sports bar decorated with various sports memorabilia with an emphasis on New York teams. The menu offered the usual bar food, but there was some interesting unique items like Fried Bologna, Poutine appitizers and a Sammy Gravano which was a sandwich of chicken fingers, mozzeralla sticks and french fries. We stuck to the hamburger selections which was quite extensive. The meals were great as was the service.

A group of 16 friends had dinner here after a day on the Finger Lakes Wine Trail (Seneca Lake). Our server was terrific. Separate checks? No problem! We ordered everything from salads and apps to full dinners. Our server kept up with all our requests for water and other drinks. Food came out quickly and our server knew exactly who had what - none of that "Who had the burger?" stuff. she was very friendly, efficient and professional. Food was good all around. It was a good spot to meet and rest after a day on the trail.
