The one lady who was cooking and serving was doing a great job, and we felt welcomed in and attended to right away. We had some trouble deciding what to have, as a lot of things on the menu sounded good, but it was unfortunately not to be. I ordered the breakfast garbage plate, which had hash browns, sausage gravy and two eggs (cooked medium). I added the house made hot sausage for $5.65 and got 1 approximately 4 oz sausage. The hash browns were fine, nothing special, and the sausage gravy was woefully lacking in flavor except for salt. The eggs were a little overcooked, but that's my fault...or the fault of breakfast cooks all over the country who don't do over easy eggs properly. I order over medium cuz I hate when the white isn't cooked. These were definitely cooked. The sausage was not good. It was sweet on the palate...like way sweet. It didn't taste much of sausage flavor, and there was a hit of heat on the finish. My sister had the sausage gravy & biscuit and she said the same thing about the gravy. I wish it was a better result-I'd love to give business to a local place that had good food.

And for the 2nd time (well, 4th technically - we came back multiple times over each weekend), we had a terrific experience. The staff are SUPER nice here. This time 'round we had Ellie as our server, who gave us great suggestions on the specials and main menu items - and also Justin when we sat at the bar on another evening (super talented drink mixologist). They're just really great at making you feel welcome, you're taken care of every step of the way. The food comes out quick, you have just enough time to relax and chat between dishes but we've never felt like we had to wait long - despite how packed the place always gets (popular spot, for sure). But yeah aside from the terrific service, the main reason we keep coming back is the quality of the dishes they consistently put out there. This trip we got to try the "Friendship Fries" as a moderately spicy, super flavorful appetizer, and then we split a whole branzino in a delicious horseradish sauce. And because we heard great things about their burgers, we came back just now for another dinner and split one of those too - predictably great, barely any condiments needed really. Juicy, well-cooked and tasty as heck. They have a super extensive wine selection from FLX, France, Italy and all across the U.S., but we tend to order from their cocktail menu - just tried the "Ship of Theseus" today. Unique flavor and delightful to sip on. We kinda wanna find another spot in Geneva just so we don't get overly attached, and end up spending most dinners here from now on, whenever we're in town. But so far nothing else has really come close.

The service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, polite, and attentive throughout the meal, making the experience enjoyable.

You could tell they were already wiped but they were providing excellent service with smiles. The place has a very old world vibe, with dark wood and curtained booths. I dig it. They also allow dogs which is how we found ourselves there in the first place. Appreciate their pet friendly policy! I love that you can order their draft beers in 5 oz options and they have a flight of local beer. Sadly the food is pretty basic and only half well executed. My shrimp skewers and my daughters fish and chips turned out great but both my husbands beef sandwich and my other daughters burger came out with soggy buns from sitting on them too long in the back. However I'm taking into account the opinion of the family that we came to visit who absolutely adore this place. I think a lot of the soggy buns can be blamed on eclipse days exhaustion.

When I start this review by saying "we arrived in town late on a Sunday," you might infer that I'm…read moreimplying this was our only dining & drinking option at the time. McDonald's and dominos pizza aside, you'd be correct. Geneva is a lovely town on the northern end of Seneca lake. Watkins glen is on the southern end. Geneva's economy appears based on colleges and tourism, plus wineries. Given it's thanksgiving week, and this region is not known for warm weather in November, many restaurants close early (7-8 pm) or aren't open Sunday/Monday. Let me tell ya: Beef & Brew turned out to be an oasis in the food desert! We walked in and were greeted by a friendly patron at the bar. He eventually made it known he wasn't an employee. Could've fooled me as he sounded quite "happy." We were seated near a lovely gas fireplace and good-sized model ship. The vibe is dark, woody, nautical. I liked it. Kevin came out and took our drink orders. The menu for drinks is HUGE. Tons of beer options of many categories: Normal lager (they had a couple drafts in the $2-4 range), IPA (because...everyone always has a million IPA's), stout, porter, non-alcoholic and low alcohol, etc. etc. Cider selections are good too if you're a celiac as my boo Nikki is. We didn't peruse the wine and spirits menu but they're definitely available. More on that in a minute. We both knew what we wanted coming in: beef on weck. It's a specialty from Buffalo which we'd never tried. We were very pleasantly surprised to find it on a menu this far east! They had gluten free rolls for a $2 up charge. I've definitely seen worse, $2 is really no worse than chick fil a. I ordered a 45 fathoms porter on draft, $6 for a 16 oz pour. SHHH, it would've cost me a couple more $ in NJ. The beer review places give it 92/100 and it earns every point of that! Highly recommend if you enjoy a dark beer with a reasonable 5.6% ABV. Nikki got a cider on draft that was good. She's asleep or else I'd ask her more about it. The cuisine was presented to us and it did not disappoint! The beef was juicy and warm, although not quite as rare as I like. To be fair, they advised it is typically medium rare. The amount of meat was nice. I cut my sandwich in half for dipping in the au jus and the horseradish spread. It really doesn't "need" either of those condiments as the flavor of the beef goes perfect with the salted caraway seeded roll. My side of fries were good. They're of the thicker steak fry variety. With some black pepper, dipping them in ketchup or horseradish was delectable. Nikki loved her mashed potatoes. If guy fieri ever put this in one of his eateries, he'd call it "GUY'S BANGIN BEEF" or something, and it would be worthy of such hyperbole. We ended the evening with a shot of their well vodka, which Kevin advised "really wasn't that bad." He was right - it was pretty good. They provided lemon and lime wedges on the side of the large shot glasses. I think this may have been a 2 oz pour? Bravo! Service was good. Kevin ensured the food was good, our drinks were full and even provided a new ketchup bottle. The star of the show wasn't the vodka shots, it was definitely the food. Quality comfort food / pub grub at its finest. 5 well deserved stars.

The staff are excellent, we had a server who was super charming and checked in on us all evening. Easy process to book a table, helpful people all around. 2.The place itself is snazzy and upscale, but not excessively so; we enjoyed dressing up a bit for a nice dinner there, but didn't feel like the vibe was overly stuffy or anything. 3. The appetizer we split (mussels in a slightly spicy broth with focaccia on the side) was excellent. Easily the highlight of our meal, would order it again in a heartbeat. The downside, unfortunately, is that the main part of our meal was nothing to write home about. I'd found this spot online and booked a table for two specifically to really "wow" my wife and enjoy an excellent meal together, and was really looking forward to some good food after reading all the stellar reviews here on Yelp. It certainly has high-end prices for the FLX (spent over $250 for dinner for two, without a dessert or more than a glass of wine each), which in general I'm happy to pay - if the quality is there, that is. But our entrees were just unimpressive, and actually slow to arrive. Took them a solid 40-45 minutes to bring out our mains afterwe finished the appetizers, but worse was the fact that both dishes (rack of lamb for myself, and short rib gnocchi for her) were simply bland. Best part of my dish were the mashed potatoes honestly - the lamb itself was unseasoned, and the sauce was watery. My wife's gnocchi weren't terrible, but the sauce had an odd, almost burnt aftertaste that neither of us cared for. For a regular restaurant, with more regular prices and reviews, we wouldn't have minded honestly - but because this place is kinda marketed as one of the better restaurants in Geneva, and priced as such, having a bit of a mediocre meal left us fairly disappointed. Again, great service and fun spot just to be in, and _some_ of the items like the appetizers are pretty tasty (I'd happily come back for another taste of their mussels and focaccia). But we likely won't be coming back anytime soon, particularly as we live out of town. Hope it was just a fluke and that they bounce back.

We recently spent a weekend in the Finger Lakes for an end of summer getaway. We had the pleasure…read moreof having dinner at FLX Table and opted for the pre-dinner wine tasting at FLX Provisions too. It is a communal table so we enjoyed making conversation and getting to know the couples at our end of the table. The reservation process asks for food allergies and dietary restrictions so I believe that was factored into the menu. You are so offered per course drink pairings of wine, beer, or N/A drinks so we did one of the wine pairings with dinner. We started with their Farmers Board which included crudite, 4 dips, 3 butters, and a loaf of focaccia. I was already convinced this was going to be a fantastic meal! The second course was a tuna belly crisp in a Thai coconut lime sauce with tiny teardrop peppers. It was absolutely decadent! They offered anyone who was interested a caviar bump paired with a shot of horseradish vodka so we had to say "yes, please!" The next course was probably the most memorable and interesting. It was a corn course since we have so many local growers of corn in the Finger Lakes region. It was simply cut pieces of cooked corn on the cob served along side a "corn flavor wheel" that included 12 different flavor profiles to add to the corn with each bite. The simplest was butter and salt which who could complain about something as delicious as that, right? But there was miso, and gochujang, an elote flavor, hoisin peanut, and tom yum curry to name a few. Next course was duck breast served over a saffron sauce with black olive bits. It was lovely! Dessert was a raspberry clafoutis with plum sorbet that was yummy. We were escorted next door to FLX Provisions for the option of after dinner coffee, tea, wine, etc... There was a lavender gel type candy bite for everyone (I'd describe it as a gummy but then you'd get the wrong idea). We leisurely chatted with the couples we met at dinner and we were even able to purchase a loaf of focaccia to take home. All in all this was a wonderful experience and I hope to be able to do it again...maybe a yearly thin
