Wow! First time here and we will definitely be making this a part of our regular places to eat! We…read moreare trying to change to a more vegetarian/vegan diet and they have tasty, fresh options to build the bowl you want or some great menu items to choose from. I got the harissa bowl with tofu, and my husband got the Bangkok bowl with tofu, we shared a Healthnut smoothie. I would have taken photos but about 1/4 of the way into demolishing our food we were so impressed that we needed to stop and write reviews! Also dangerous for us that it has a drive through Inside, it has a simple, clean design, good music at a good volume. Staff was super helpful as it was our first time here, very patient and giving recommendations. We will be coming back to try all of the other menu items, maybe next time I'll remember to take photos of our food first!

Whiskey Bend has a name that helps you choose what to order. Of course there's tons of liquors to choose from. These and the food can get pricy but there's a happy hour for money saving. Coming in here it was surprising we could get seats at the bar. It's got a happy hour. This is when to save money on the expensive menu. Got a few good things out of it. The liquor menu has tons. It's $10 for an Old Fashioned. This is a pretty strong one. Also has cheaper prices on food such as burgers. There's just not a ton of things here for vegetarians. It's about $16 for the Avocado Salad. This has cilantro, cucumbers, red onions, and tomatoes. A lot but it wasn't that filling. This is still probably the healthiest thing you can order. Got to come at happy hour. It's from Mondays to Fridays and includes drinks and some food items. They're open later on weekends.

Good friends of ours have been trying to get me here for a long time, they love it. We finally made…read moreit on a cold weekday night. I never even noticed it right next to Ghoulish Mortals. It's nice inside, they have a bar on one side and tables on the other. Our server was very good, answered questions and was attentive. We started with a Bourbon and Berry Lemonade that was recommended to us and those were outstanding. Not too sweet, very balanced and dangerous. They had me at beef tallow fries, I had to get a sandwich. Our friends love the smash burgers and that is what my wife got, I was in a different mood and went with the Alabama white BBQ sauce chicken sandwich. The fries are pretty great, perfect double fried, just like I like them. The Chicken sandwich was underwhelming, it tasted good everything was good about it but it was this kinda small, fast food looking sandwich. Plus it was like $18, for that I need more. These days with all the big impressive chicken sandwiches around, it left me very underwhelmed and disappointed. The other issue was my wife's massive impressive looking burger across the table, sure didn't help. Her burger was messy, juicy and very good. She's not big on fries and got a side salad, and it was a substantial salad, I can't wait to go back and try other things, for what we ate and drank I felt was very reasonable.

There was an eclectic blend of choices but they didn't have two titles I was seeking, and the clerk seemed slightly annoyed when I inquired. The restaurant, though small, was more accessible, and had some great food! I had the roast pork apple sandwich and my friend got the signature salad, and we split the bourbon pecan pie, all of which were delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive even though it was busy, and other servers also kept an eye on bussing empty plates from our table. Parking is across the street; both crosswalks had steps leading down from the parking lot. Would certainly return for the cafe!

If you're looking for an incredible meal in downtown Geneva, Gia Mia is the spot. From the…read moreatmosphere to the service, everything was top-notch, but the food is what will keep me coming back. * The Calamari: I don't say this lightly--this is some of the best calamari I have ever eaten in my life. It was perfectly crisp, tender, and seasoned to perfection. If you go, do not skip this. * The Pizza: Truly fantastic. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and a proper oven. The crust had that perfect chew-to-char ratio that only a great wood-fired pizza gets. Geneva has a lot of dining options, but Gia Mia stands out as a clear winner. Whether you're a local or just visiting for the day, make sure this is on your list. I'll definitely be back!

Fun spot with unique cuisine, this restaurant may be small but the food packs big flavor. On my…read morevisit here, I had the opportunity to try two dishes off the shareables menu and was super impressed with both of them. Service was also quick and friendly throughout the entire meal. The Birria egg rolls were a bit on the smaller side but made a big impression with its preparation. I've never had birria wrapped in anything as crispy as the wonton wrapper this was wrapped in. The birria was flavorful while being tender and not being too salty. The white cheddar and chihuahua cheese added a small amount of extra saltiness and a bit more fat, which matched well with the chipotle aiola. The duck poutine was incredibly flavorful, while sitting on the edge of potentially being too bold. The fries were incredibly crispy though there was quite a bit of gravy on the dish and the white cheddar cheese curds did a great job of keeping the entire dish hot throughout the meal, while adding a little bit of extra flavor. The bacon and onion added some umami though it almost made the dish a bit too salty and the duck confit added a nice protein element. Overall a little pricey, but given the more unique menu and quality of both the flavors and textures, it's worth the premium. The food here is definitely memorable and in line with excellent options available in Geneva.

Tiny portions & terrible customer service when told I would like a mistake fixed or a refund . The girl here tossed my order ( brought back in within minutes ) without refunding or replacing the meal. I was forced to call the police after she refused to remake or refund on top of trashing what was uneaten and paid for. After the police arrived she took the order out of the trash and handed it back to me. Even after a police visit, she still did not correct or refund my simple $16 order. Unprofessional, terrible sanitation practices, argumentative, prejudice and not worth a dime.

The restaurant has a beautiful aesthetic that feels modern, bright, and inviting. The private room where the party was held was perfect and conveniently located right off the main dining room, which made it feel both intimate and connected to the rest of the restaurant. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, consistently checking in and making sure everyone had the drink refills they wanted. She did a great job managing a larger group, which really added to the positive experience. The food was phenomenal. As a starter, we had the prosciutto and fig bruschetta, which was a standout. I had never tried anything like it before, but I absolutely loved the balance of sweet and salty flavors. It was unique, well prepared, and a great way to start the meal. For the main course, we sampled a variety of dishes, including pastas, chicken parmesan, and the wood-fired pizza. Everything we tried was flavorful, and there were no complaints from anyone at the table. I loved the margherita pizza and the pepperoni pizza! I also ordered the Ibisco Fizz mocktail, which had an amazing balance of hibiscus tea, peach, and lemon flavor with a bubbly texture from the soda. I'd order this again, too! Overall, this was a wonderful first visit with great food, service, and atmosphere. I would love to come back for dinner in the near future to try more items from the menu.
