This is my second favorite winery in Geneva. I have tried to eat there 3 times. The food is terrible! Great wine though!

Had the most wonderful evening here today. The food was amazing!!! Service off the chart and the live music was the best. Not a huge wine drinker but my sister 8s and said the wine was amazing. Highly recommend!! read more

Can't cook a dry aged steak. 3 tries, 3 strikes. Waitress was good, wine was average, food was bad. First and last time here. Maybe they can get away with it just because of their alcohol sales. Who knows. Manager was indifferent when brought to her attention. THEN, one of the owners responded to my criticism by both telling me I was wrong, AND that they were sad to waste the steak. Lol. Their 3 star rating is definitely indicative of the obviously flawed business they run. My suggestion is to try Ferrante's winery. Much better food, service and wine. Too many choices in this area to have to settle. Enter at own risk. Wow read more

My favorite local winery!! Wine, food, service and atmosphere are amazing. Love the rustic coziness and can't wait to go back!

Disappointing, unpleasant service, food was overpriced. Overall unenjoyable experience.

Went there for the ice wine festival yesterday. The food was amazing and the wine fantastic! Our server was okay.... she did over charge me when I wanted to refill my dessert wine bottle which was slightly annoying but mistakes happen. The gentleman that was at the register was so unbelievably helpful and apologetic and fixed it right up. Thank you! read more

Owner is extremely rude. Wine was not worth the cost and neither was the staff. Would not recommend this winery. There are plenty of wineries within driving distance (farrantes, debonne, & spring hill) that are way worth the money! read more

This place is the model of customer service and class. We walked in at 8:15 (they close at 11) and asked for a table to get some food. The hostess said that they were busy and needed to check with the waitresses. A less reasonable establishment might have told us that we had to wait or that the service might be slow. Instead the hostess told us that they would rather not serve us, so we wouldn't have a "bad experience". I was disappointed, mainly because I wanted to stick around and hear the baby boomers belt out more "Old Time Rock and Roll". Sorry hostess, there will be no next time to redeem yourself. read more

Went there yesterday after spending the day in Geneva on the Lake for some dinner and wine. We weren't able to sit on the patio (which is amazing) since it was all filled up so we ate in the dining room. Our server, Ryan was absolutely amazing. He was personable, had great recommendations and made our experience a complete joy! I don't know what they marinate their chicken in, but it was the best I've ever tasted. There were 5 of us and we enjoyed the wine, food and impeccable service! Each and every time i go there, it is better than the last time. It's my favorite winery/restaurant (and I've been to all of them) in that area. I will be back soon! read more

Not a good experience. I went because I heard some great things. Beautiful setting a neat place. You could smell the grapes driving in. All we wanted was a good meal and wine and 1 1/2 hours later we ended up with a so so appetizer and passable sangria. We noticed other tables that arrived after us were getting their meals. Finally one of our party of 4 got hers and it was wrong and not sure why the rest of us weren't served. We decided to leave and was told our waitress was a bartender who was asked to take a couple tables. On the way out they had put a table in front of the ramp so one of our disabled friends was challenged getting to the parking lot. We ended grabbing fast food but really wanted that steak! read more

The wine has been good as well as the entertainment. But service can be iffy and food has been average at best. The last time we were there I received a very dry pork chop. Couldn't send it back because it was the last! They are popular and usually busy, but we have never had good luck here. read more

Love the food, Love the wine!! I recommend the white fox wine very nice place with a nice warm feeling when you arrive. Coming back for sure read more

First time eating here outside of the summer season and first time inside. Plates were plastic, but food was good. Service was average. Much better spot to stop at for just wine on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Awesome winery, with lovely staff, and relaxing atmosphere. Live music every weekend and often throughout the week. The food was excellent and the Whitefox is quite the sipper.From servers to bar tenders to the hostesses, this winery gets 5 stars from me! My family and I come and visit pretty often despite living 25 minutes away. Cute date spot and still great with large parties! Megan is our favorite server!! read more

Great place for everyone. We ate outside on the deck with our parents and 2 kids while a guitarist played. Food and wine was great!

Four of us had lunch here on 9/27/13. We enjoyed our lunch and wine. The pear and Brie app was great as well as my crab cake sandwich and wife's salad. The service was fine no complaints there. In fact this was the best overall dining experience out of the four places we ate at in this area during our weekend stay. I recommend it and we will return. read more

Nice stop on a Sunday afternoon, good jazz music. Lobster roll was excellent , fun wine tasting!

Fun, lively atmosphere. great cheese and meat plate, the soup was very good. Wines are a little hit and miss, but overall a good experience. Definitely include this on your wine tour. read more

For the second time I have had a very bad experience. This time we were sat and ignored. We sat there for eleven minutes had two servers walk by and I ignore us. When leaving the manager realized that we had not been there long enough to have a glass of wine and I to him that we had no service he ran out to the patio to see why, but we were done. I will not go back! There are to many good winery's with good service and food to waste your time and money at GRC read more

Stopped in a few Saturdays ago and absolutely loved the special entrée; smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. The Brie & Pear app is one of my all time faves. Warm Brie with fresh pear and homemade sauces. Can't go wrong with that combo. The atmosphere is super relaxing and the waiter was very helpful by offering wine suggestions. I read a couple of reviews about plastic plates. Who cares. They can't have real plates because of a regulation but at least they're nice plates and it doesn't diminish the experience. Will definitely return for some good food and nice music. read more

Nice place, wine is not bad, but if you are going because you read the menu, it isn't as fancy as they make it appear. Sandwich meals came in plastic baskets. The lemon dessert is a cheesecake, so don't think otherwise. It was good, though. The pulled pork was fabulous! I was disappointed in the tasting choices. One chooses either sweet or dry, and I prefer a little of each. read more

Grand River Cellars is by far one of my favorite wineries to go to! From the amazing, home-like service from the moment you walk in the door to the delectable food, I could easily spend all day there. Let's not forget about that wine! If you have the chance and love pink wines, I would most certainly recommend trying Austin's Blush. It's a personal favorite of mine. read more

Poor service! All kinds of staff milling about but no one seemed to know what was going on or acknowledged we were there. Someone needs to get this place organized! read more

Let me start by saying I downloaded the Yelp app just to share my experience with this restaurant. We had a group of twelve and our waitress seemed very sweet at first. We ordered drinks and it took her no less than 15 minutes to bring my coke (I timed it because I am very particular about my service). She finally brought out our drinks after I watched her giggling with her co-workers not once but 4 different times. So we finally get to the food order, I ordered the ribeye and the artichoke and asiago cheese dip, the order went in and I went back to my conversation. The waitress returns and tells me "we aren't serving stake today" I was a little confused as to why it wasn't labeled on the menu so I brushed it off and ordered the burger. After 20 minutes (5 minutes after we got our drinks) I'm starting to wonder where the appetizer is at. Unfortunately the appetizer showed up after 35 minutes, the dip was inside a bread bowl and it was very tasty except there was hardly any cheese dip, it was basically bread (it was delicious bread). Ok now I'm not so hungry (yay), out comes the main course. Everyone gets what they ordered except me of course, she brought me a chicken sandwich instead of the burger I ordered. I mentioned to her that it was a mistake, she replies "thank you" not the sorry you would expect from a person in hospitality. That upset me a little but not as upsetting as it was for me watching my whole family eat while I have to wait another 10 minutes to get my food. I've seen Nightmare kitchen episodes that had better service, now I understand everyone has bad days but I felt disrespected as a paying customer. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Have been here before and my meal was horrible (lobster mac and cheese) so this time I ordered a buffalo wrap as it is hard to mess up, boy was I wrong. It took over 30 minutes to get drinks and over an hour before our food arrived and when it did it was a huge disappointment. The chicken was cold and bland, and the buffalo sauce was watered down. I also had to remind the waitress twice that she forgot my salad. I will not be eating here again. read more

Well well well, I'm sick and tired of establishments like this one right here! I went here with my daughter and we ordered the chicken corner blue and it wasn't even blue!! And we also had a tossed salad that wasn't even tossed, I then asked for the transgender waiter to send it back and get us something better but then she told me that he was triggered. I couldn't believe how outrageous it was acting, I demanded for the chocolate moose as compensation, But you're not gunna believe this! But it wasn't even an actual moose, it was some freaking crappy ice cream! Never cumming here again! read more

The atmosphere was really nice with plenty of seating inside and out, very nice flowers and land. Also we got to walk outside by the vineyards. The food the chicken was good but tasted like Boston Markets, the Salad serving portions were very tiny with a small amount greens and had olives. The sides were pretty solid and my wife enjoyed the Mac N Cheese. Ordered the cheesecake which was good but a very small piece for $ 5. The sangria is awesome for $ 13 you get a huge jug that can fill about 10 wine glasses and give you a nice relaxing buzz. Also the Dober Carey Smith band was playing and did a nice job with relaxing jazz music. read more

Extremely rude staff! With the inside nearly empty, four of us sat at the bar to sample wines and were told to move seats because they were expecting someone to come in 2 hours later. We got up and left quietly only to have the server behind the bar make comments to us the entire way out. He was a total jerk and we will not be coming back here again. We headed down the road to another winery and had a great time. read more

We live in the area so we stop in at least 4-5 times per year. Love the location sets off road with long drive through grape vines to winery. The entertainment is always fun and the wine is so so. If you like wines on the sweet side this is the place for you. We had a party of 9 and sat in the enclosed patio area at the end of Dec. They have a very difficult time regulating the heat we were either shivering or sweating. As a whole we were ok with the food but it was not exceptional. We started with artichoke dip in a bread bowl with chips it was good the bread bowl in the dip is very good. My daughter ordered the crab cakes for 19.90 they were not much bigger than a fifty cent piece and she only received two. We had eaten a late lunch with friends so I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. The chicken was the bagged thawed strips That were cold is if they were just removed for the fridge. My son in law had the MAc and cheese and my wife ordered a chicken sandwich. My daughter and I had water my wife a glass of wine and son in law a beer Total cost 82 thought it was a little on the steep side for what we received. We have been coming to grand river for years and it seemed as if the crowds are starting to get smaller each year. I think it has a lot to do with the saturation in the area and cost cutting. We will return but will come mostly for lunch to sit on the outdoor patio in the summer. read more

We really enjoy this winery. The wine is very good and their have a very good selection of wines. They also have a nice lunch menu with a good verity of foods. My only negative comment would be we were there for lunch today and I do think the server could have been a little more helpful when I ask a couple of things about the menu. I do know it is not an easy job but their were not at all busy only four other tables of people. read more

If you want to be treated extremely rudely, not be accommodated for a disability, and eat your lobster tail and steak on plastic, then go here...otherwise, I would skip it. I brought my 74 year old mom here for her birthday with my dad who is also 74 and has a disability and my aunt who is 72 and just had foot surgery. We made reservations days earlier. They put us at a high top table at the bar (note to Grand River Cellars: high top tables are for the BAR. Regular seating tables are for dinner and the main dining room). We asked to please be moved to a regular table because my dad with the disability and my aunt who had the foot surgery could not manage a high top table. There were plenty of lower top tables. They said they had no where else to put us because of people with reservations. We had made reservations days earlier AND we were there first. Finally after arguing with them and being treated extremely rudely, they put us at a not so ideal table and told us we had to be out by 7 for the next reservation! I couldn't believe it!!! After continued arguement, the manager rudely said "fine, I will take care of it". The table next to us heard the whole thing and were very supportive of us. They said they thought we handled it exactly how we should have and that they had just gotten there a couple of minutes early with NO RESERVATION and got a decent low top table. The food was good but very basic. This is a low class place with a higher class facade where you are treated terribly by the management. Our server was really nice and that is the only reason this place isn't getting one star. The food was served on plastic plates, plastic bowls, plastic cups. The amount of waste they are creating every single day is phenomenal! Not ecofriendly at all. Not even remotely. So unless you like your $38 lobster tail served on plastic, I would avoid. Also heard two ladies in the restroom say "they are pretty rude here aren't they? Let's go somewhere else". I don't recommend. The wine is not anything to call home about either. read more

Birthday dinner yesterday with friends......service was poor.....it took 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered and then one meal had to be sent back. Wine was good as usual. Food was a little pricey for what we had especially eating on industrial plastic. Dinner and wine was $80 for my husband and I, add the tip and it was close to $100. From now on will go there to share a bottle of wine and hear a good band, not for dinner. read more

Very disappointed! Went there on a Thursday and I believe they did not have a cook that day. Brie and Pear appetizer had runny caramel topping plus the bread was so hard I couldn't eat it, salad with crab cake added had so much feta cheese I could not even eat that and told them so. (They took that off the bill.) My husbands spaghetti sauce tasted like it came from a bottle and he didn't eat much of that either. We have been there on a Saturday and the food was much better (although they took my steak off our bill that day too). So I don't think we will be going there for quite awhile and will not recommend it like we have been doing. read more

We came here for a bachelorette party. The appetizers were good, but the food was bland. The hostess and the bartender were great, but our server was awful. I get the kitchen being backed up, but after an hour we just asked her if she had any idea of how long it was going to take. She said she'd been arguing with the kitchen to get it out faster. It would have been better if she just told us they were backed up and that it would be awhile. We also told her we'd been sitting there with empty beers for at least 20 minutes. She said she'd been to our table and that we said we were fine. She did run past our table and grab an empty plate, but she didn't even make eye contact with us. Then she grabbed my glass and ran off. Another girl at the party said she saw her roll her eyes as she turned around. The food came not even 5 minutes later. It was luke warm, so I'm guessing it had been sitting back there before we even asked about it. She never stopped by to see how it was. We rushed eating and got the heck out of here. I don't think anyone in our party will be coming back. read more

Five of us landed on their patio last evening...with at least 4 tables on the patio open, the hostess insisted that they were reserved for later. I asked how much later, we would only be there 45 minutes to an hour. She walked away saying let me see what I can do. Another group of three white women came in an asked for a table for three (not "we have a reservation") and they were seated immediately. We stood around, as the staff seemed disturbed that we were not leaving after being told "we cannot accommodate us." Frustrated, hungry, and irritated by this racist foolery, I went outside on the patio once again and spotted at least two empty tables near me that were empty as well as people vacating other tables. I once again approached the staff regarding a seat pointing out the empty tables. Once again, I was told that they could not move a chair (5 of us) because it would block people from being able to move around. Now with 15 minutes invested and me continuing to persist that there were plenty of tables available, one of the servers abruptly began to clear an empty table in her section, telling me that we could have this table.....my friends were already walking angry. My response to her was that we would never eat here and they were the most racist, rude, unaccommodating restaurant I have ever been to. Most hostesses will at least tell you "if you are willing to wait 15-30 minutes we can seat you".....NOT HERE it was very clear that they did not want us to eat there. read more

I had never been to this winery, before, and all I can say is, what a really pleasant surprise! We sat on the patio for a mid-day gathering and everything was perfect! We intended to just get some appetizers to accompany a few bottles of wine, and opted for the warm Brie and Pears ($11), served with blackberry & lemon glaze and crusty French baguettes. There was plenty on the plate to share among the four of us, and it came warm, gooey, and absolutely delicious. So, after a few bottles of wine, we opted to stay for a sandwich. My Blackened Chicken with Bourbon Sauce ($9) was really nice, and everything I would have expected from Blackened Chicken; crusty outside, hot and juicy inside. The only thing that would have made it better would be if they served a side salad as an option to the slaw and chips, as I don't eat either. Service was fast, the food was wonderful, and the wine selection was fantastic! I had a bottle of their Niagara wine, "White Fox", and I have to say, it's the perfect Niagara for me; not too dry, not too sweet. It is my new favorite and I'm very happy to find it's available at the local Giant Eagle! Thank you Grand River Cellars, for a most pleasant afternoon! read more
