First time visiting this place. Sorry we waited 3 months to try it!!! It was quiet when we arrived,…read morebut we immediately noticed that it's clean and surprisingly roomy. The fenced patio is decent-sized new concrete with funky old wooden spool-type tables (check out the names in the concrete outside the fence...fun!). The men's room is a hoot, if you care to explore! Emily was tending and serving. Very nice, fast on her feet, and made us feel right at home. Great smile! Happy attitude! She should train people for those positions in every restaurant from Albert Lea to Owatonna! Jason was doing the cooking. We didn't get to meet him, but we sure liked what he sent out from the kitchen!! He's gifted! We started with the broccoli cheddar bites--so so SO good! Should've gotten two orders. We had the special (chicken, mashed, rice, slaw and a roll), and the taco salad (without taco meat, and Emily didn't even bat an eye at that weird request). Both meals were wonderful! I do wish they had a grown-up's grilled cheese on the menu (say, with sunflower nuts, or potato chips, or fries in it), but that's just my bizarre taste, and it certainly won't keep us from returning. We were so happy we finally checked out this place! The service and the cooking made us fans. (That $150 pulltab didn't hurt, either!) WELL DONE, GENEVA BAR & GRILL!!!! L & C

Anytime the server asks how you want a burger cooked it usually means good things, and in this case it did not disappoint.

They also have daily specials. My favorite food items are: The spinach and artichoke dip The chicken wild rice soup (best in town) The Cajun steak bites The walleye (grilled with Cajun seasoning) The French Dip Their blue cheese dressing is so good! The Downtown Grill is connected to The Bakery bar next door. Most times when we're there, the door between the two establishments open. Normally, not a big deal, but sometimes the clientele at The Bakery come in from a smoke break and if you're sitting on that side of The Downtown Grill, you might get a waft of cigarette smoke-filled air while you eat. Kind of ruins the elevated vibe of the place. Service can be a little slower so not the place to eat if you're in a hurry. But we just plan accordingly.

So far, we've been to at least five restaurants and this one is still our favorite in Albert Lea.

Both of our burgers came out well done. When I told the waitress that they were well done, she said "well I put it on the ticket" and walked away. I tried to take another bite but it really was way overdone and for me it was not worth eating (my husband ate his and said even though it was way overcooked he was too hungry to not eat it). Next time the waitress came around my husband flagged her down and told her that my burger was much worse than his and I really couldn't eat it. She said she would take it off the check , but didn't ask if I would like anything else or have it re-made. Luckily I had ordered a side salad and ended up just having that and eating something else once I got home.
