Unfortunately my visit wasn't as super as it has been in the past. My coffee cup's lid didn't fit, and my panini was soaked in whatever sauce they used so it was very soggy and messy.

Nice size portion, very delicious, and served with chips and a pickle. For $4 more, I could have added a side(will have to try that next time). If you are looking for good food, and want something different than fast food, I would highly recommend this place.

Could be all the wine in me talking (though I don't think so from the way everyone was chowing down), but this was some Grade A BBQ!

Honestly - just way too good! Drinks. Food. Service. Company - 10 for 10!

This is the first restaurant we went to for dinner in Geneva and it was, unfortunately, a very…read moredisappointing experience despite their excellent reviews. Let me get to the details: Service: staffs were not attentive, friendly, nor helpful. The restaurant was busy when we came so we decided to seat outside. However, their outdoor tables were wobbly. Also, there were no bugs control devices nor heating lamps to accommodate us. When we asked to move inside, their response was we have to talk to the host and the hostess told us it is not possible because they were "too busy".... Yet we would see an empty table where they rather seat 2 people that come after us instead of us. On top of all that, our sever never came to refill our water. For service, this place is a zero star for me. Food: we ordered their famous heavy plate. The food size was loaded for the price, everything tastes fine but nothing was exceptional. Giving them some stars for the decent food. Atmosphere: inside has lots of booth style seatings and bar seatings. They can accomplish large parties. Outdoor seating is not great as their tables were cheap and they're seating on a slope. There were no heat lamps or bug controls so I don't recommend eating outside in the evening here. Overall: honestly, we felt ignored at this restaurant. I wouldn't come back here since they're not very accommodating or nice. Highly recommend management to train their staffs better.

At that point, they searched for it and discovered it had been sitting there the entire time, no one ever called my name, even though they were calling out other customers' orders. By the time I received my food, the sandwiches weren't even warm and the pancakes were soggy and sweating from sitting in a to-go container for far too long. There was no apology or accountability for the mistake. For a New York bagel shop, the food is shockingly bland, basic, underwhelming breakfast sandwiches that don't match what you'd expect at all. Overall, a very disappointing and disorganized experience. They need to get it together.

Wasn't sure if I should post this under Ravines Wine Cellar or under the Ravinous Kitchen, so this…read morereview might be making appearances in both.... My husband and I have been to Ravines Wine Cellars several times since 'discovering them' during a special farm-to-table dinner and wine pairing at Good Luck a few years back. That night we enjoyed a 5-course meal and each course was paired with a different wine. It was the first time we ever experienced drinking finger lakes wines that we really enjoyed and could see ourselves buying for private consumption! Shortly after that, we made the trip out to the wine cellar in Geneva to do a tasting. On our first trip, we did the wine and cheese tasting - loved everything and went home with a bottle of Meritage. On the second trip, we did the wine and chocolate tasting (which features chocolates from Hedonist) and came home with a bottle of the Vignoles. Fast forward another couple of years and we took advantage of a holiday event which featured food pairing tastings from Brown Hound Bistro at the Ravines location in Hammondsport. We left with several bottles of wine for holiday gifts. Every experience was great, with friendly and knowledgeable people, enjoyable atmospheres and yummy goodness. Most recently, I was lucky to attend a special dinner at the Ravinous Kitchen as part of a company event. There were 12 of us for a 6-course meal on a Sunday evening (usually they are closed at this time). Included was a tour of the winery and wine cellar, with time spent with the owner and the head chef. It was amazing. The chef prepared really, really delicious dishes for each wine: --We started with glasses of their 2009 sparkling Brut Rose which was delicious. Paired with a bacon puff and served with herbed crème fresh, this was a lovely little bite. --Next, while we were in the cellar, we were served a parsnip bisque with caramelized cheese. We ate that while tasting their 'new' 2015 Meritage right out of the barrel. It was cool in the cellar and the bisque and wine was a perfect little warm up. --First of the 'mains' was a large serving of local Lively Run chevre, with a side of kale and some pomegranate drizzle, served with their 2015 dry Riesling. They also gave each of us a fresh baked roll, and mine was gluten free - the most perfect gluten free roll I've ever had - truly crusty and 'French-bread-like'. I could have died happy after eating this course. --Second 'main' was a stuffed squash with some kind of spinach or creamed green inside. This was doused in brown butter and served with a smear of red miso. The dish was served with their 2013 Pinot Noir. Holy deliciousness. Unlike any squash dish I've ever had, this was definitely the table favorite. Super savory and umami, great depth. Super yum. --Final 'main' was braised beef short rib served with shaved brussels sprouts and a mushroom 'cream' made by roasting a medley of mushrooms and pureeing them with cream. This dish was served with au jus and the 2013 Maximilian red. A rich, delicious combination. I have to admit at this point I was over the top stuffed, but even so, when the chef brought out extra servings of the short ribs, I forced myself to have a bit more. The au jus was delicious and the meat was totally fall-apart tender. So good. --For dessert, we were served a butterscotch 'risotto' - basically a rice pudding with white chocolate, apricots and toasted oats. This was served with the Vignoles. Take a bite and a swig and swirl them in your mouth - flavor explosion! I really love the Vignoles. Even those at the table who are not fans of dessert wines/ports/ice wines drank every drop! (Too bad because I was offering to finish whatever anyone wasn't going to drink, but no takers....) Ravines is definitely at the tippy top of my list of favorite wineries and experiences in the finger lakes. And with all the new awesome eateries in Geneva and the focus on making the little college town a foodie destination, I highly recommend you join the Ravinous club, rent an Airbnb and go there to spend a weekend of eating, drinking and merriment!

I don't know. I appreciate that it feels relaxed though. My friend and I each ordered honey lavender lattes (which aren't large at all), while my friend ordered a berry muffin and I got a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Those four items together + tip (20%) came to $30.10... which was far too expensive for lattes that lacked in flavor, a rather small breakfast sandwich, and a muffin that was more "meh" in comparison to something my friend or I could have just picked up from Wegmans up the road. In terms of service, it was just... lacking? Nobody was rude or anything, but they weren't warm or inviting either. For what I'd typically consider to be a nice little neighborhood coffee shop, nobody working there seemed engaged or mindful of the "community" aspect of the service experience. TL;DR No neighborhood coffee shop thrives on chill ambience alone, and there's not enough here in terms of delicious eats, tasty treats, or flavorful drinks to make me want to make a return visit. :-/

Grounded Coffee is an adorable little cafe right in the heart of Geneva that has so many creative and yummy drinks to offer. They are family and locally owned by the sweetest people I've met. We stumbled upon their shop when they were having technical issues with their espresso machine - but we didn't mind waiting. They were so kind in comping our drinks for the long wait. We talked to them for a good 30-45 minutes before my grandma and I even sat down to enjoy our drinks. The service and kindness we received here was well worth the wait for our drinks (which we both LOVED by the way - and that's amazing considering my grandmother is a 93-year-old woman who only drinks black coffee). It was a struggle convincing her to try a flavored latte and NOT her usual go-to black coffee. But she did admit she enjoyed it! The quality of the drinks and the service is just one of the many reasons you should try out this adorable cafe if you're in the area. Even if you're in Rochester - It's worth the commute.

Previously drowning in herby butter and serving as the perfect accompaniment to the wings above, it seems there's been a change in recipe. First of all, 3 of the 4 knots in my order had raw, stretchy centers. The outsides were golden and still brushed with herb butter, but now there's a healthy sprinkling of shredded cheese that adds a strange taste. Ordered takeout and my wings were still perfect after the journey home. Hoping for a better experience in the future with my beloved garlic knots. The employee who took the phone order seemed very confused by basic requests, as well.
