My family and I arrived to the Ravines Geneva tasting room on Sunday 5/10 (Mother's Day) at 4:43pm…read moreand upon entering were promptly told the tasting room was closed as they were closing in 15 minutes. We have previously been Ravines wine club members and frequently enjoy stopping into their tasting room for wine tasting, food and purchasing bottles. We would have happily purchased some wine to take home with us (likely a case or more) but the staff was incredibly unfriendly and unwelcoming. When I asked, for future visits, when the tastings usually stop, I was told 4:30. Ravines may want to update their website and online presence to reflect this (everything posted says 5pm close) as we were disappointed to be unable to finish our Mother's Day celebration at their tasting room. Due to the completely unfriendly welcome (customers were walking past us with fresh pours, clearly having just been served), we opted to leave without purchasing any wine - a significant loss for their business, not only in sales but also in customer loyalty. No one apologized that we couldn't be served or asked if we wanted to purchase any wine. We won't be back any time soon and will share the experience with friends so as to help them avoid a similarly unpleasant experience. We were once loyal but now disappointed Ravines customers.

Stonecutter Tavern at Belhurst Castle: Come for the view. Don't expect dinner…read more We were told there'd be a 20-30 minute wait, so we spent the time enjoying the beautiful grounds overlooking Seneca Lake. We came back 30 minutes later to find the restaurant nearly empty. We were seated immediately, handed menus... and then completely forgotten. Twenty minutes. No server. No water. No drinks. Nothing. The tables around us started asking us if we'd seen a waiter. When someone finally asked the hostess what was going on, her response was, "I have no idea and I can't really help you." For a destination restaurant that markets itself as a special occasion experience, that's simply unacceptable. Beautiful castle. Beautiful lake. Spectacular setting. Zero hospitality. We got up and left, as did the other two tables.
