    Let me preface this by saying I am the biggest fan of NY kitchen. My husband and I regularly visit the cafe and tasting room, take classes here, and bring friends and family to visit when they are in town. Easter Sunday we decided to reserve a table for 4 for their brunch. The immediate experience wasn't great. Over two days I called, left a voicemail and finally day 2 at 5pm I received a call back to confirm reservations. Maybe it's staffing there - but we've been there enough to know it isn't overly busy. I don't understand how I was calling throughout the day and the cafe never answers their phone when their posted hours say they open at 11. I even left a message with the director. Maybe she encouraged the cafe to return my call, but I am unsure as I didn't hear from her. Brunch itself was weird - the food was ok. My food was lukewarm warm at best - the sausage, the potatoes, the salad, and the ham (ham was the warmest). We arrived right at 11am for our seating reservation. I wished they had explained the process as it was odd. We didn't get the go ahead to go stand in the buffet line until almost 11:30. Maybe because we didn't order drinks from the bar, but used the juice bar. The waitress assigned was the like the person who did everything- gave the go ahead and ran to the tasting room to grab drinks for people. As you can imagine- large parties who were ordering from the bar took awhile to serve which meant my family and I sat there until we were given the 'ok' to get in line. Same thing happened when bills were being cut. The waitress came back with a stack of bills - we had already been waiting to leave and the waitresses were no where to be found. I honestly thought there had to be some kind of team meeting out back because they were MIA - all of them!! When she did arrive with the stack of bills - ours was missing and other tables were grabbing her for drink refill requests from the bar. We waited again and finally received our bill and were able to hand the card right back, wait, pay & leave. Really odd business practice to assume that everyone would be done around the same time. My party of 4 was with a 94 year old, my teenage son, myself and my husband. Obviously we were done well ahead of the large tables of 8+, those managing little kids, etc. I'm a fan of NY Kitchen and will continue to visit. Definitely not for their special events. I know the experience was lack luster when my husband is consistent in asking me if I've shared the experience yet. For $50/person - I am very happy I didn't have to cook or entertain so still worth it to me - but $50/plate, I expect top notch service and food. Unfortunately, it fell flat for us this year.

    I have been here before for a cooking class with Pauly Guggilsmo and we had a great time it actually had a different name. It's now NYK it's a really pretty spot. It had a brand new terrace, a nice yet compact tasting room, seminar room and cooking area for classes. This area is really lovely and I would definitely come back here for classes unfortunately I really can't say anything about the food. The wines are all FLX in the tasting room and that's what you want and you should experience FLX Wines. They have a parking lot and street parking

    I hadn't been to NY Kitchen in a MINUTE and was so excited to attend a Belgian brewing class there this past weekend. A lot of incredible updates at this space, and even more goodness coming down the road. They have a gorgeous outdoor space, tasting room, buzzing restaurant, spectator kitchen, and more at this facility. The classes are always engaging and they do a great job bringing together the best of the Finger Lakes region for tourists and locals to experience. With the Lake House and Rose Tavern essentially on the same campus as this, it is hard not to be super excited about this growth in Canandaigua. Excited to stop by during my FLX trips this summer and making this a regular stop in my learning and culinary experiences.

    Took a knife skills class here on the weekend. Well worth it. After cooking for nearly 15 years, I now know how to properly use a chef's knife. My life is already better. The chef and his assistant were great teachers and answered every question anyone had. Plus, I got to take home all of the vegetables and a whole chicken that we learned how to butcher. From now on, I buy whole chickens and save $$$. Great classroom and venue.

    Came back and had a really enjoyable wine tasting followed by lunch. The wine tasting (downstairs in the tasting room) was $11 for 4 tastings. The selection of wines to choose from was OK, maybe about 16 or so with a mix of dry and sweet. Afterwards, we went upstairs to the cafe to have lunch. Limited menu but good. We split a charcuterie board and both had BLTTA sandwiches, which came with fries. Everything was delicious! Wine menu upstairs was very limited though and only featured 2 NY state wines. Service was quick and friendly though, and eating on the patio was scenic and relaxing. I'd love to come back here again soon.

    While visiting the Canandiagua area we made reservations to dine on the patio of this restaurant which overlooked their beautifully landscaped grounds. Unbeknownst to us, there were several Friday night events going on at the restaurant. A large wedding rehearsal dinner, a culinary cooking session and an EXTREMELY loud band performing in the bar area of the restaurant (which made for an unpleasant indoor dining experience). Thank goodness we opted to dine outdoors amongst the beautiful night sky and their perfectly lush landscape. My husband ordered gnocchi and I ordered the house salad with grilled chicken served with a Riesling dressing, which was prepared perfectly. I'm certain the pleasant weather and the romanticism of the wedding rehearsal event made our dining experience much more appealing. All in all, two thumbs up to the cooks, servers/wait staff and bartenders. They did a good job preparing our meals and getting them out in a timely fashion.

    Took a cooking class here for my birthday and I had such a blast! Was able to meet amazing people, make good food and have delicious wine. I would highly recommend taking a cooking class here or going here for a nice dinner with friends or family. 10/10

    If you came here for food you may find it underwhelming. That was how I thought of the food. So the the three star mainly reflects the food and a little bit of the service. But we loved the view from the patio. Parking was not a hassle. We came here for a late lunch around 3:00 on a Saturday and there were a few other tables on the patio. Now, the patio was great because you get the view of the lake and if you would like to some sun as well. We shared three appetizers and a pizza. The fish tacos - fish was fried nicely but there was a lack of salt. The ceviche, well maybe because the fish was marinated in lime juice for too long, it tasted a bit rubbery. However the Caesar salad was done very well. Just enough dressing, big pieces of romaine lettuce and plenty of Parmesan cheese shaved. Then we waited for the pizza for quite a long time maybe an hour. At that time we were kind of full so we weren't in a hurry just wondering where the pizza was. The waiter came by and apologized that they had a small oven and they're backed up with pizza orders. Finally came and it was hot and fresh. The dough was nicely done. We got the barbecue chicken caramelized onion kind, a combo of savory and sweet flavors.

    I ordered the "Shane's Special". It's 3 mini meatball subs. It was so delicious. The staff there is great too and very polite.

The food was delicious, served perfectly hot and plated beautifully! Whatever your event and food need, these ladies will knock it out of the park! Certified Rock Stars! Thank you for making the wedding spectacular!

    The incomparable Boo Wells and her fantastic team catered our wedding this past May 31st at my…read morein-law's home in Theresa, New York. My wife and I couldn't be happier with how things went. From our first brainstorming meeting with Boo, in the garden at The Farm House Kitchen, we knew Boo was going to be a perfect fit. As a professional caterer and wedding planner myself, I knew finding the right fit for our wedding would be tough. Luckily, Boo came highly recommended from a trusted friend, and lived up to our expectations and her reputation. Her commitment to local, fresh and sustainable ingredients was in-line with our food values, her pallet sophisticated and mature, her kindness and confidence reassuring. Throughout the planning process, Boo was engaged and committed to our vision of the wedding. She met with us several times, both on-site and over the phone, coordinating rentals, sub-contracted vendors, set-up and clean-up of the event. Her staff was genuine and professional, and delivered a near-flawless service experience to us and our guests. On the day of the wedding, anywhere I looked Boo was there - smiling and managing every aspect of the event, including two separate cooking locations, a hired pig roaster, pre-ceremony refreshments, cocktail hour passed and stationary hors d' oeuvres, and a fabulous seated buffet that showcased the seasonal bounty of upstate New York. All of which took place on the sprawling lake-front property of my in-laws. She and her staff must have each walked five miles that day. We supplied our family olive oil from Greece, our own maple syrup and honey that were well incorporated in to the diverse and delicious meal. A local baker and friend supplied a half-dozen varieties of homemade pies, which Boo cut and served personally from behind the dessert buffet. A nice, and personal touch. I was nervous to hand the reigns of my wedding over to someone I hardly knew, as anyone would be, and while Boo's rapidly growing and diverse business sometimes delays her emails or call-backs, there is no one in the Thousand Islands region who deserves the success she is enjoying more than her. I may also be criticized for asking too much, but we invested a lot of faith and money into our big day, and wanted everything to be perfect. With Boo and her staff, it was. The food, service and attention to detail was magnificent, and the overwhelming response from our guests was that it was the best wedding they ever attended. My wife and I highly recommend Boo and the excellent staff of The Farm House Kitchen, and consider ourselves lucky to have had Boo and her team be a part of our day. Thanks Boo, George and Abby.
