We've now eaten here three times on visits to Geneva. The food is consistently fantastic and the servers and atmosphere only add to the overall experience. I will always look forward to the opportunity to eat here again!

First time dining here. The bread and dipping oil with herbs was delicious. I ordered the filet and it was cooked perfectly and was very tender. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus.We also ordered the seafood pappardelle, which was expensive but said it had crab, clams, shrimp and a lobster tail. We only had 4 shrimp and the lobster tail and when we asked where the other seafood was, the said it was cooked in the sauce. We would not have ordered, it was a lot of pasta and little seafood for $46.

Great restaurant with just enough ambiance. My husband and I arrived 10mins before our reservation time, and we were greeted and seated promptly by the sweetest hostess. She escorted us to our dining section and informed us of points of interest while enroute. Shortly afterwards, our sever took our drink order and presented us with the daily specials. My husband and I both decided to order from the main menu. I chose the spinach salad with goat cheese, hazelnuts and cranberries tossed with an cranberry-orange balsamic vinaigrette dressing, topped with grilled chicken. My husband chose the scallops sautéed in a lime butter sauce prepared over a bed of basmati rice. Both were divine meals. We were presented with fresh baked bread accompanied with olive oil, ground black pepper, balsamic vinegar and fresh pressed garlic for dipping which was quite tasty, leaving you wanting more! For dessert, we washed down the YUMMY peanut butter pie which was deliciously rich and creamy. Prepared by M.J. who doubles as the bartender. You rock! This establishment definitely deserves a return visit.

This would be a great restaurant for a date night. It's historical, cozy and quiet. My wife and I were seated upstairs, which we really liked. Our server was prompt and efficient. I note that they bring water to your table in a carafe, but you must pour it yourself. They also bring a plate of oil with garlic, red pepper and balsamic vinegar along with small bread cubes ahead of your meal. This is a fabulous little appetizer. They feature wines from the finger lakes (as it should be). I had a semi-dry Riesling. They also accommodated me by serving a half order of their Caesar salad. I had the scallops over basmati rice with asparagus as my meal. I thought the whole plate was cooked to perfection. We finished with the peanut butter pie and another drink. This pie was nothing like I expected. It was light and fluffy (not like cheese cake), and the peanut butter taste didn't overwhelm your taste buds. It was perfectly mildly peanut buttery! My after dinner drink was their twice Irish coffee. Along with Baileys, they put some Jameson Irish whisky in it. A nice touch, and not to alcohol tasting. Just like an Irish coffee should be. A solid choice for dinner when here in Geneva.

This place is so fun/warm/inviting/lively/delicious, that you'd be crazy not to check them out! The inside is so beautiful, and it smells of wood fired delicacies. We went for brunch and I went with the blood orange mimosa and the steak and eggs. My date ordered the wood fired cinnamon rolls and we wanted to bathe in the icing. To say they were delicious would be to drastically downplay how amazing they are. He also got the blackened shrimp Benedict. Everything was delicious!!! I can't wait to return and try more delicious brunch items, we really enjoyed our time here and are planning to return soon.

Excellent service by Kristy M Loved the free olive oil garnished with parmesan cheese, red chili flakes and balsamic vinegar served with bread. Enjoyed the entree of sesame salmon teriyaki. Loved the sauteed kale, raw pickled shaved carrots, quinoa and snap peas. Would have preferred less teriyaki sauce; I didn't eat some of the kale because it was doused with sauce. Wished the salmon had been prepared as requested (medium); it was more than well done. Was glad I brought a seat cushion with me, since I don't enjoy sitting on hard, unpadded wooden chairs. Wished we hadn't been seated in the room with the pizza oven. Occasionally, there was some smoke in the room coming from that oven. Thankfully, the smoke didn't last long. Didn't notice any prices on the dessert or dessert drink menu. Decided not to order anything for dessert. I can afford whatever price they were charging but was turned off by the mystery prices. I'm better off without dessert anyway, so I'm glad my not finding prices caused me not to order dessert.
