2 Best Restaurants in Geneva, The Finger Lakes

Overlooking the water about 3 mi south of Geneva, this casual eatery serves eclectic fare. The chef prepares fresh-cut fish and steak specials daily, in addition to a regular menu that moves from Indian to Mexican in dishes like tandoori chicken in an almond-onion curry and house-smoked spareribs with honey corn bread. Finger Lakes wines accompany your meal, and the staff is trained in wine pairing. Nachos, calamari, and other small plates are always available. Reservations are essential in summer, especially around sunset.

Continental fare is served with contemporary flair at this restaurant in an 1825 Greek Revival farmhouse. Dishes might include veal scaloppine, bourbon-glazed duck, or goat-cheese-and-vegetable lasagna. The breads and pastas, as well as the chocolate soufflé, are made on the premises. Fireplaces add to the elegant but cozy ambience. Balcony and porch dining are seasonal alternatives.
