We get here around 1pm for lunch and found a few tables seated and friendly staff behind the counter. They had a ton of baked goodies including scones, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc. inside the case and fall is looming so there were a lot of fall-inspired flavors that looked wonderful. I chose a black iced tea and the Chicken Salad Sandwich with chips. The sandwich was AMAZING. Delicious and fresh chicken salad and a huge portion. I ate and ate and ate. Highly recommend. My friend ordered the Cowgirl Sandwich which was a ham sandwich with avocado and she loved it. Huge portion so she only ate half. She has a soy allergy so the side she ordered wasn't an option for her once the kitchen checked so they graciously offered her the side of potato wedges as they were free of soy. She quickly prioritized those over the other half of her sandwich when they came out fresh, piping hot, and loaded with some delicious garlic parm seasoning. She raved about that! Ha. Decor inside is all centered around Women's Liberation and the Women's Movement which, love! Great location and has two of the statues featured in Seneca right across the street. We really enjoyed our lunch here and, as an intro to the town, it was a great first stop!

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.

We found the Elf in the Oak on Yelp and once we saw the menu, we knew we had to give it a try. The Elf in the Oak is nestled on Rt 414. If you're not actively using a GPS, you may pass it by. It's not a large place by any means, but there's more than enough seating indoors and out. We went on a Friday morning, so there wasn't a wait and we received our food quickly. We both wanted 'the Spicy' and I have to admit, it's one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had, which is high praise coming from someone who once worked at a popular bagel joint on Long Island. If we lived locally, we'd definitely go back, but I hope if you're looking for a quick casual brunch place to grab a bite, you consider visiting the Elf In The Oak.

Coming in on a Tuesday night, the place was busy and the wait was about 30 minutes -- but there was free seating at the bar. Fair enough, not many restaurants were even open in Geneva on a Tuesday. The food was solid -- nothing extraordinary, but nothing to complain about either, and the presentation on those big plates is genuinely fun. The lady bartender had her hands full preparing drinks while also serving everyone seated at the bar, including food orders. It was sometimes hard to catch her attention, but overall she did a great job juggling it all. What really bothered me: the owner (CB) is one of the few Master Sommeliers in the world and a big promoter of the FLX wine region (which I love), so can anyone explain why a glass of FLX wine costs about 40% more than a glass of California or even Australian wine? That's not exactly "Think NY, Drink NY" -- despite those charming stickers around the restaurant (which I do love).
