We don't do this sort of thing often, but the food and drinks were incredible. Loved getting to know a cool group of strangers and and enjoyed everything we ate! Service was awesome. read more

This was a fun spot for a special splurge dinner, though it was interesting sharing a table with 12 strangers on our anniversary! We went a little early and had a delicious cocktail before being seated. You are snuggly seated around the large table. The starter course is lots of fresh raw local produce (much of which would be easier to eat with our hands than a knife and fork but it didn't seem like that kind of place). The next courses were a surprise before we sat down but all were delicious. We did the local wine pairing, and many times brought us two different versions that we each had half of, so it was a great way to explore. read more

My mind...literally blown! The experience here was nearly earth shattering!! I'm trying to be intentionally somewhat vague with my photos of the food/identifying it since this experience is a blind multi course meal, meaning when you sign up, you won't know what food items will be served. If you're somewhat adventurous with food and like trying bits of everything, this experience is for you. The quality of food was perfection! The table was set beautifully with such vibrant foods as part of the decor. And the service was prompt, attentive and warm. My only critique is that the sommelier who was conducting the wine pairing option was speaking way too quickly to understand the information about the selected wines. I one million percent will be returning! read more

This was our second visit to FLX table, having dined here during a Finger Lakes visit in 2022. During our visit then, we were seated at separate tables that were arranged in the room in a u-shape. I guess this was a post-covid precaution as during this visit we sat at one large table with all dinners booked for our reserved time. It was fine with us, but just something to be aware of. Service upon arrival and throughout the meal was great; we were greeted and sat right away and offered the options of sparkling, still or tap water. Once all guest were sat they explained the farm board (which to me is the best part of the meal- a mix of dips and dippers). The garlic rosemary focaccia and curry butter are the stand outs and we bought some focaccia next door to take home with us at the end of the night. There was a variety of vegetables to dip and bowls of fruit on the table to choose from. They leave the farm board on the table throughout your meal to pick from. They also offered the different wine pairings- we went with the notorious option and were offered to sub in wines from a list provided. We opted to go with the pre-selected options which paired well with all of the dishes. Our menu then included a turo (tuna) dish, a potato dish that I dubbed a fancy loaded potato (roasted and smashed potato with raclette, bacon, etc) which was the standout of the meal. Our main was a roast duck dish with a sprouted lentil salad. Both were good separately but the salad was overly acidic and took a bit away from the duck. We finished with a panacotta which was also good. Overall another excellent meal from start to finish. read more

I'd give this experience a solid 5 stars for the Finger Lakes region--while nothing was exceptionally mind-blowing, it was a very enjoyable and well-executed evening overall. We started with a wine tasting at FLX Provisions, which was a lovely way to ease into the evening. The grazing board and dips were one of the highlights--beautifully presented and flavorful. I opted for the "fun" wine pairing; while nothing stood out as particularly memorable, it was a nice complement to the meal. For the starters, we had asparagus with hollandaise and a crab soup--both were genuinely delicious. The ahi tuna was also tasty, though the portion was small and the dish didn't quite hit that wow factor. Our main course was venison served with sprouts; it was flavorful and well-cooked, but with just two small pieces of meat, it left me wishing for a heartier plate--maybe something with more carbs for balance. Dessert was my least favorite part--the cake was a bit dry and underwhelming. However, the overall experience was elevated by the presentation and service: the sommelier, waiter, and even the chef personally delivering courses gave it that intimate, traditional tasting menu feel. Sitting with other guests at a shared table was a unique and enjoyable touch that made the evening more social and memorable. While the food wasn't the best I've ever had, especially for the price, it was still very good--and paired with the overall ambiance and experience, it definitely deserves 5 stars within the context of the region. read more

What a great experience we had. We went for a pseudo-surprise birthday party for my wife's 60th birthday party. We had 11 people. The table holds 14 and we shared the table with a family of 3 from Germany. The courses were great. They accommodated our vegan, vegetarian, and allergy request in an amazing way! I loved how the chef talked about each course as they brought it out. Thanks to the crew at FLX Table! read more

A memorable evening. Truly talented and imaginative chef and great service. Reasonable price for the tasting menu and optional pairing. No tipping allowed. Limited to 16 diners at a community table. So reserve early. Other than one local couple, all the other diners had traveled far. read more

An interesting concept in the middle of Geneva. My husband and I had been James Beard members back in the day so was drawn to this place because of their nomination. It is a community table for 12 with a tasting menu. You don't know what's included on the menu until you sit at the table. A really cool atmosphere at the restaurant with one big farm table for twelve as the only seating option. You can also grab an early drink at the community bar table in a separate room as it opens 15 minutes before your seating. The restaurant gives you the option to add a wine tasting to your dinner as well. My husband and I booked this last minute while we visited town for the weekend. The food was a hit or miss. Loved the homemade focaccia! Serves warm and notes of olive oil and rosemary. Interested dips and butters were served with. The actual meal had some good points and bad. The tuna belly had great taste but not the best feel to the actual tuna. The pasta was amazing! The kangaroo main course was a bit tough and too gamey for our liking. The panna cotta dessert had mixed reviews. The wine pairings did add to the experience. We finished the night in an intimate 6 person room at the back of the restaurant where we were offered after dinner drinks and coffee. Not sure how that works when there are more people in your seating. All in all, an interesting experience and included some interesting conversation with two couples we had never met before. Service was outstanding. Dinner was pricey and came to about $400 for the two of us. I do wish they indicated the price of the dinner, at the very least when making your reservation. read more

We did the super secret winery private chefs table tonight and...I don't have words. The atmosphere was so incredibly cool I will give you that. The presentation of all of the dishes was impeccable. But, omg, the food...abysmal. We started with crudités with a champagne pairing. This was good and no complaints. Next was a black cod with radish paired with a white wine. This was still good although the dish was a little salty. The second wine I finished approximately half of. The third fish course, oh boy. They gave us a brown Riesling which was paired with caviar fish and roe. I tried the Riesling with the caviar and gagged. I couldn't deal with it. That Riesling is the worst wine I have ever tasted. I had them box the rest of this dish because my palette was ruined. The fourth pairing was a Chateauneuf-du-Pape and venison over a lentil salad and morel mushroom. It was so incredibly salty and the lentil salad tasted like grass clippings. Absolutely horrible. I left it. The dessert was a vanilla cake with pop rocks and a port. This was quite tasty but the port was so tart. Also they gave us a bottle of water but never refilled it. I was so parched and then the check ins during dinner were so long I would be glad to see a human who worked there and black out and forget to ask. All in all, cool experience but absolutely not worth the cost of the private experience. Zero stars if I could. read more

Went with my husband while we were on our mini-honeymoon. The atmosphere was so incredible. We had the earlier seating, met wonderful people, had good food, and just such a wonderful experience. We did agree that the food was nothing earth shattering, but the wine pairing elevated it SO much. Atmosphere and experience is definitely the best!!! read more

This was, hands down, one of the best meals I've ever had! The food, service, and atmosphere were superb. I wasn't sure I would enjoy a communal dining experience with strangers, but our host set the mood encouraging us to socialize and enjoy the experience together. Before we knew it, the room was filled with sounds of chit chat, laughter, and at one point singing! The chef served a delectable menu, provided thoughtful and humorous commentary, and had a little surprise for the table! While I didn't opt for the wine pairing with our meal, those who did found the sommelier's selections were impressive and complemented the courses perfectly. If you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, the staff will make the experience particularly memorable! read more

Wow -- what a disappointment. First off, a little heads-up about the communal seating would have been nice. Maybe I missed it, but squeezing 16 people around a table that comfortably fits 10 is unacceptable. We booked the high-end "Notorious" wine tasting, and while the vintage wines themselves were exciting, there was no space to actually enjoy them. The five-course dinner was poorly balanced -- far too much filler salad and very little protein. Portions felt cheap and unthoughtful. On top of that, the sommelier situation was unprofessional. The stand-in admitted he was only there because the real som couldn't make it, and it showed. The pairings made no sense: sparkling, then red, then white, then back to red -- with food pairings that didn't complement the wines at all. Overall, this was a major letdown and absolutely not worth the cost. I will not return, and I cannot recommend anyone else waste their money here. read more

What a dinner/experience! Very impressed by the atmosphere, quality of food/wine, and overall experience at FLX. I learned that they typically sell out of both evening dinner windows (~5:30pm and ~8:30pm), which seat anywhere from 10-20 people total (ours was 3 tables, one of 2, one or 3, one of 4, and one of 7). One member of our group had to check back quite a bit for a reservation opening, but a few weeks in advance, we were able to lock in the later slot on a Saturday. We arrived a little before 8:15pm, and we were able to enjoy a glass of wine as the team finished setting up and transitioning from the first dinner (each lasted ~3 hours). The staff took the time to explain each of their courses, where the ingredients were sourced, and how each was prepared (including the sommelier re: wine pairing). Everyone was incredibly friendly, willing to answer our questions, and I'd definitely come back for a special occasion next time I'm in the area! read more

I came here on May 13 for the dinner service for a mother's day present. In a nutshell, I would not recommend this place based off 2 things. Professionalism and portions. I texted AND called them days before my reservation to let them know my mom was a pescatarian. It says to do this in the reservation as the menu is pre determined the day before. When we got there, her menu did not reflect this. When we politely told them, they acknowledged it. Then, he proceeded to serve her an ONION ( I am not kidding, it was a quarter cooked onion. I wish I could make this up!!) for the main course. Now, we knew they had fish because 1.) The table behind us got it and 2.) I called & called them days before and they acknowledged the receipt of information! I couldn't believe it,especially for that price point AND we followed all the instructions. My second issue is the menu in general is not constructed well. There is very very little meat protein. The lamb was the size of my thumb and I am a small woman for perspective. It is so small you can't even appreciate the dish because its two bites. The biggest catch is in the beginning they serve you a HUGE!!! piece of foccacia bread. It's so largee... almost as a way of concealing how much little food you get throughout the service. Then you won't be hungry at the end to complain but honestly it felt like a cruel gourmet joke. If you havs seen the Menu (movie) it felt almost like that. The ONLY THING that was good about this restaurant was the sommelier who did the wine pairing. Wines he picked were amazing, and he should leave that place and open up his own restaurant or wine bar because this ship is not going to stay afloat. Attached is proof of the text because I'm not making this up. Go somewhere else and save that money for delicious wine tasting. read more

We had the most amazing meal at FLX table. Every dish we tried was delicious. We did the FLX wine pairing with it and tried some great local wines that paired beautifully with the food. I wasn't sure what to expect eating at a communal table but we had great conversation with the other diners. Highly recommend! read more

4.5 Star experience overall. I think FLX Table truly excels in the area of hospitality. Their sommelier Michalis Kalampoukas is particularly exceptional at welcoming guests while dropping wine knowledge to guests as the FLX Table sommelier. The rest of the staff is also attentive and friendly. Michelin star level service in my opinion. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the food presentation is a bit theatrical, with an introductory spiel for each menu course. However, I think it's fitting for a small restaurant like FLX Table and adds to the overall dining experience. FLX Table scores 5 stars in regard to service. I've visited FLX Table twice. The first time was a bit disappointing food-wise actually. The courses just didn't appeal to me at the time. There was an apple gazpacho that a bit too sour and also a terrine dish that had an odd texture. The food during our second visit was much better. The farmers vegetable board with spreads and salted bread was excellent. The smashed cucumber salad was nice and refreshing even though I am not a huge fan of mayo. Our lamb main was a bit small in portion, but was cooked well and nicely accompanied with the quinoa tabbouleh. My favorite plate was the roasted strawberry, rhubarb and lemon curd dessert. It was the perfect combination of sweet and sour. Keeping my first experience in mind and not being blown away by any single dish, I would give them 4 stars for overall food taste. In terms of atmosphere, FLX Table is cozy restaurant with very limited seating. Despite its size, it remains open-concept with high ceilings and a visible kitchen. It's got a rustic / farmhouse style feel to it. The intimate ambience is in harmony with the personalized dining experience - 4.5 stars. As far as price and portions go, the regular Table Dinner is ~ $79/person, which I think is a good deal for a 4-course meal. The portions for the main dishes are on the smaller side, but even the biggest appetites should not leave hungry. The wine pairing can be just as expensive as the dinner, ranging from $59 to $179, but they have some pretty impressive wines on their list, including various vintages of Lafite Rothschild. Michalis did a good job picking out wines that complimented the food well. Overall, FLX Table offers a truly unique and intimate dining experience. The single communal dining table will be back in August I believe, but tables are still separate for now (for better or worse). It's a good place to visit with friends or family for a special occasion. Even from Rochester, I think the drive is worth it (just make sure you have a designated driver). I will be back again! read more

Our group was welcomed, my coat was taken, I was shown the seating. I was brought a drink menu and a small bite to try. Our table was set up in the kitchen area where the chef was busy with our meal preparation. Our table was beautifully set with mismatched silverware, wine glasses and our first course, the Farmer's Board. Beautiful focaccia bread studded with garlic cloves and herbs on top. This was accompanied by a selection of butters and dips and raw vegetables. We had a five course tasting menu, a combination of hot and cold dishes all plated with perfection. Our food menu was price-fixed but there were options for adding wines for each course, (at different price levels , nice touch) as well as a beer pairing. There were silverware changes for each course and the service was stellar. My favorite course was the Walleye Quenelles with a perfect spoon of caviar. I will definitely be back for another special occasion. read more

We had 4 people do wines around world and 4 do wines from the Finger lakes. You would swear the all came out of a box. For $150 per person and was not worth it. We had fixed menu (?) corse 1 was a single strawberry with a stripe of green sauce paired with Ripple level wine. Corse 2 was a single radish paired with a Boonse farm ditty. I would not recommend this facility. They won best place in NY i 2017 and now should be worse. read more

My husband and I returned for a 2nd time (first experience was 2 years ago) to celebrate our anniversary. Since our last dinner, we've been talking about coming back when we can afford the Notorious wine pairing. Overall, this experience was definitely less magical and would have been disappointing without the wine pairing. The Notorious wine pairing was worth every penny for both tastes of wine and experience. Last time the dining experience felt more communal and like a dinner party (we even all wore hats to celebrate a birthday). We were hoping for the same experience this year and even prioritized arriving early for pre-dinner drinks before dinner as invited via e-mail, but were disappointed on arrival that everyone was seated separately for drinks (which we really didn't need, had just hoped to meet our dining companions before dinner). The food was also disappointing this year. I requested a pescatarian menu and learned that my entree was cabbage. Though my husband, who was very much looking forward to his venison (a favorite meat), thought the cabbage was actually better. I ended up filling up on almonds when we got back to our hotel which felt disappointing for the cost. My favorite course was the Farmer's Board, which was raw veggies and delicious homemade focaccia. Fortunately the wine pairing more than made up for the dinner. We were pleased and surprised that the somm poured each of different wines (we tasted each other's) and somehow figured out our individual palettes! Standout was a 1966 Corton-Charlemagne that my husband will talk about for years to come. I also felt like dinner ended abruptly and that the staff was ready for everyone to leave vs. last time where they kept the party going by giving everyone a marshmallow on the way out. We'd like to give FLX Table another try in the future. read more

FLX Table is a dining experience that I recommend trying at least once. The ambiance is outstanding- the community dining space is gorgeous. You have to make online reservations in advance for one of two seatings offered Th-Mon. It can be difficult to get in during peak tourist season. You pay at the time of reservations and can choose beverage pairings at this time. You can indicate dietary restrictions at that time. They call to confirm a few days out. The seating is for about two hours and everyone eats at the same table. If you are running a few minutes behind don't sweat it- as we did- to find that the first 15 minutes or so is a time to grab a pre dinner drink and socialize with your fellow diners. Seats are assigned with playing cards. I've been here twice- once with my husband who was underwhelmed with portion size. The other with a friend who is vegan- she was thrilled they could accommodate her but noted the meal was light on protein. I think it's a fun and unusual special occasion restaurant. The service and food both times were very good. I enjoyed my 'fun' pairing each time and they allowed me to modify what they were pouring the second time based on my likes. Overall I really dig it and would be glad to bring any dining companion that also may enjoy it. read more

One of the better restaurant experiences I've had in a long time, and one I will remember forever. They do a few seatings a night, so everyone eats the same dishes, which are themed. You are sitting adjacent to the open kitchen, so the chef (and staff) can explain all of the items, while you are being served, and its seamless. Back when I was here for America's b-day (sorry it took so long to review), the theme of the evening was strawberries. The best part was the fact that strawberries were interwoven into every dish, and were never more sweet than they naturally are. The staff really believes in whole-animal cooking and low waste, as one of the butters in the snack course was made from the drippings of the porchetta, which was the main course. Additionally, they own a fried chicken joint, so we were served the hearts. The shrimp tostada was a perfect vehicle for the strawberries, which was balanced with much acid and more brininess from the squid ink. The dessert was an innovative play on a strawberry shortcake, where the cake was made with (extremely flavorful) corn and a truffle cream: it was truly mind-altering, as it certainly leaned savory and earthy, rather than sweet. Bonus points for playing a ton of The Roots during the actual eating portions of the meal. And obviously the wines were good, given their locale, they clearly hand selected the best in class. read more

Had an incredible dinner experience here. Our party of 8 began with the wine tasting prior to dinner. Four, generous pours of delicious wines from their som. Dinner then began with a giant plate of fresh vegetables, fruit, and bread served with unique butters, hummus, cheese and chimichurri. Such a great concept that allows for so many different flavor combinations. Next course was a sweet corn app that mimicked a small elote experience. Next was a delicious shrimp ceviche gazpacho. I'm not normally a gazpacho fan but wow was this amazing. Insanely fresh flavors and great texture. The main was a perfectly cooked duck with fresh kale salad. Everything was incredibly fresh, we had to ask our waitress where they got their vegetables from so we could grab some on our way out. With each amazing dish, comes a pairing of delicious wines from all around the world. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering help and explanation throughout the entire meal. As you leave, you get a fresh honey dipped marshmallow caramelized to your liking. Left stuffed, buzzed and feeling very grateful. read more

Had high expectations for this dinner based on reviews. Unfortunately, our experience fell below expectations. First off, there was a weird "dinner theater" vibe to the whole evening. The employees were friendly but conversations felt forced and scripted. They came around asking the same questions and presented each course in a way that felt rehearsed. Felt like a bad comedy show. We weren't into the small talk and they didn't seem to catch on. The food was good but nothing blew us away. Started with veggies and dips which were good. Second course was corn with "flavors of the world" various sauces. Then chicken with various sauces, majority of them lacking significant flavor. Nothing stands out. At the end of the meal they mentioned that there was a "surprise final course." They then proceeded to bring us out to a different table on the sidewalk and gave us each a toasted marshmallow (without any plates, utensils, or napkins). Again just kind of bizarre. Probably would not return. read more

Had a wonderful experience dining here. Love the simple atmosphere and well thought out courses. All the courses we had were well thought out, perfectly portioned and paired with a great wine (or beer). the Chef accommodated one of our vegan diners not as an after thought, but with as much dedication to all the meat eaters.

My awesome boyfriend surprised me with a dinner at FLX table for my birthday! I was overjoyed when I found out. The restaurant is in such a cute town, I wish we were going in the summer when it was still daylight. Our table told us Geneva is usually much more crowded and lively in the summer. We got the 8:15 pm seating and didn't leave until a little past 11. When we got there we were greeted by the sommelier (Mihaelis...? Not sure how to spell his name) and JJ the hostess (I think that's her name). Both of them were very nice and remembered everyone's names, amazing. There is a small waiting area as we waited for the seating before us to leave. The dining area is in the adjacent room with an open kitchen. The dinner moved fast when we sat down. We started with a generous farmers board consisting of various roasted vegetables, fruits, butters, dips and salt bread. Two people share a board and the table had 2 sets of dips and butters. This was my second favorite course. The vegetables and fruits are fresh and lightly seasoned. The bread was warm, soft and delicious! The butters and dips were my favorite. There are too many to type about , but the standout for us was the duck fat butter, wish we know where we can get that. The board is left out throughout the meal so you can munch so don't feel pressured to finish it. You have a lot coming. The next course is FLX's take on okonomiyaki. This was my favorite course. The base was cauliflower which retained its great cauliflower taste. The sriracha mayo and bonito flakes compliment each other so well and the hazelnuts provided such a great crunch texture. I loved this dish and wish it was bigger. Our next course was the Gnudi, it's like a super soft gnocchi. To my surprise they offered extra truffle shavings for a small charge, gah! Of course we got the truffles, one was from spain and I forget where the other one was from. The one from spain was amazingly fragrant. The gnudi was deliciously decadent yet delicate at the same time. They melted in your mouth. Our entree was a lamb rilette. It was a hockey puck shaped lamb seasoned like shwarma. This dish was my least favorite. Though the flavors were complex and more special than your normal shwarma, the lamb itself was dry. I think this is due to how it was prepared. Interesting dish and nice to try though. Our dessert was an apple tarte tatin. It's a puff pastry with salted caramel. I wish I wasn't so full by this time so I can appreciate it more. The puff pastry was light and soft. The apples were cooked down really well, and retained their apple flavor and tartness. The whipped topping cut through the tartness perfectly. It was a light way to end the meal! One last thing I need to touch on is the wine pairing! My boyfriend and I got the baller pairing. I either really liked or loved every wine that I had. They were pretty generous pours too, so if you're light weight like me, pace yourself! I had four glasses of wine in front of me at one point and they were so accommodating and made sure I actually liked the ones and offered to pour me new ones. They just didn't know I don't drink much so it's impossible for me to finish every glass in a timely manner. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience and already are planning a trip back! read more

I feel sorry for the people of Geneva to have F.L.X. Table as their metric for fine dining. Somehow the highlight of the meal was the focaccia, which makes a ton of sense because the portions of the next 3 savory dishes needed all the help they could get. Loading your patrons up with bread was a smart move on their part, as the rest of the meal turned out to be a disaster. Our first course was the stuffed squid; one of our diners noted her shellfish allergy prior to our visit to F.L.X. When the chef stopped by to verify the allergy, we were sure to reiterate that her allergy included both mollusks and cephalopods. So when her dish was substituted with a dolmades, but still included cuttlefish ink on the plate, we immediately notified the hostess Elizabeth that there was an issue. Well the chef immediately WALKED BACK the dish! His words were "this is why we ask tables prior to the meal if they have allergies". Doubling down on serving you guest an allergen is absolutely wild. One of the most important things a restaurant can do is understand food allergies and not question when a guests tells you than an ingredient on their plate is an issue. We explained that a cuttlefish is a cephalopod in the squid family, and he, without apology, picked the dish back up and remade it without the cuttlefish ink, but not without delivering it with zero emotion, apology, or feeling. Had I not been with family who has travelled across the country to be here for Christmas, I would have walked out at this point. Dish two was a lentil dish with bacon and confit duck. The duck meat was shaped into a rectangle reminiscent of how meat comes out of a sous vide ziploc, the shape was absolutely bizarre and completely lacking texture and structure. Unsurprisingly, the bread and lentil dishes were the largest portions of the night, further emphasizing the strategy of loading the meal with cheap carbs. Our last savory dish was by far the worst however, a venison medallion coated in seaweed powder topped with ikura (or caviar for an upcharge), greens, a sunchoke puree, and black garlic. The venison was cooked well, but was lacking salt. The Japanese intention of the dish with the salmon roe and seaweed powder was extremely strange and, in my opinion, made no sense. Most of the diners in my group chose to scrape off the seaweed and ikura. Finally, the dessert course was a boozy eggnog with homemade cookies. Honestly, no complaints here, although I wouldn't describe the eggnog as being made with an amalgamations of bourbons, it just makes it sound like we are getting the dregs of the bottles in our dessert. This was par for the course, I suppose, as the chef's messaging throughout the meal seemed to be an exercise in bragging about the travelling he has done. The tackiest part of the experience, however, had to be the end of the meal. Not two minutes after our dessert arrived, the hostess explained that we were to pick up our cookies and eggnog and head into the next room, where we would find our coats, and have an opportunity to order more cocktails. Asking your patrons to carry their meal through the restaurant is absolutely unhinged, but even worse is having them walk through a glorified gift shop on the way out, using our coats as the bait to get us into that section of the restaurant. The old man who greeted us seemed bewildered that we didn't want anything else, and asked for our check. We were so happy to have left, and I feel sorry that Finger Lakes residents only have F.L.X. as a metric for fine dining. The silver lining of this experience is that we had a lot to talk about on the car ride home. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone who has any sort of passion for cooking. read more

Theater of Food. I was able to attend my first seating with FLX Table recently, and I was blown away by the experience. The whole dinner experience reminded me of a show that was performed for us. The food was cooked right in front of us, and when the food was brought to the table, the chef told us a little bit about what we were about to have. My wife chose the Wine service and I chose the Non-alcoholic service to accompany the meals. The drinks were spot on with the food. We started with the Farmer's board which had a variety of vegetables, spreads, dips, and great bread from the Amazing Grains Company. Once everyone was finished, they brought out the Microgreens with Octopus which was not only beautifully presented, but also very delicious. Next came the Congee. This was something I wouldn't have ordered on my own, but it was incredible. Great taste and again, an amazing presentation. The Porchetta(Pork Belly with crispy skin) came out and it smelled and tasted wonderful. Finally, the Chai Asian Pear to end our show. Everything was made right in front of the group, and the chef explained everything about the dish to us. If you are looking for an experience that you might find on Top Chef, stop by and enjoy the food and show. read more

By far one of the best dining experiences I have had in a while! Friends our ours booked the reservation so I really didn't know what we were in store for. This is communal dining at its finest. 1 communal farm table that sits 14 people. The table is the same room as the kitchen so the interaction between guests, servers and chef is awesome. It is a preset menu that you can have paired with wine if you choose. They can tweak dishes depending on allergies which is great. The room is awesome, food fantastic, staff super nice and the playlist was great. The bread was ridiculous!!! I could have eaten that with every course. I can't wait to head back to Geneva and eat here again!! read more

We were here last year, both times w did the "super secret wine shop dinner", prix fix, separate room w wine pairings. They really get so close in places to getting things right but can't help but hit some very avoidable potholes 1) it's clunky, getting into the special room. There's also a speaker blasting music right behind you (they gratefully turned it down upon request) 2) pacing was rough as it feels like they take care of you between windows of other guests in the main dining room. We've been here over 90 mins and are awaiting the 3rd course (yes, I'm typing this live during the experience (hey, I have time, lol) 3) I'm annoyed at chunks of corn cob served along w a lecture on the value of corn. I get it, I grew up in Ohio, corn feeds the world. I don't eat corn on the cob, so here I am, trying to cut it off w a butter knife, spraying it everywhere 4) for one of the pairings, we were each given different wines - for the same course. We were told to pass our glasses if we wanted to experience the alternative wine. I feel like this is weird, just serve 2 half pours 5) the somm was really dismissive of our feedback on #4 and just generally uninterested in anything we had to say about the pairings 6) last time we were here, the dishes were good but the ingredients weren't at par w what they were trying to do or the price point. This time was different, the main this time was lobster vs chicken the last time 7) the staff care..I do think the place genuinely has heart but I just wish they'd see things from the guest's lens. 8) the menu was super seasonal, which was great 9) the somm has some interesting wines in the pairings but runs thru his speech at lightning round and is outta range stat...i find him a bit condescending but I don't know if that's just me? Hubs and I are split on if we'd go back again. The somm, the pacing and corn on the cob chunks as one of 4 courses were the biggest issues to me. read more

We love this place! I'll share the menu and our opinions soon with our party of four. We enjoyed a cocktail of rye, cognac flavored much like a Manhattan. Delicious!! One diner had a flight with his meal and thoroughly enjoyed the education and different beers in the flight. Our meal started with delicious Ancient Grains bread....ohhh so good. This bread was accompanied by 6 different butters, which were turmeric, brown butter, truffle butter, Pork fat gravy dripping and cottage cheese with Spanish oil, hummus, and a butternut-acorn squash mash!! I may have forgotten one but ALL were great! The vegetables were pickled daikon, roasted Brussels sprouts, spiced apple slices and peppers. Now that was just the beginning! We had four courses all good except for the beef brisket. Which wasn't flavorful and slices we received two of us had fatty servings. Dessert was gingerbread that was moist with pastry cream (could have had more on the plate) a quince jam and grape gel with pop rocks! At the end they served on the way out a custom flamed honey marshmallow! Soooooo good! They should sell those....absolutely divine! Chef Hanna and the entire staff were very accommodating and pleasant! A must stop in the Ginger Lakes for sure!! Can't wait to return! read more
