A friend and I were invited to an event at this private club, and it was a wonderful experience. Established in 1885, this is one of those places you either know about or you don't a hidden gem in downtown Rochester. Seriously I e driven past many times and never went in. The grounds are truly special, with magnificent mature trees and a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city, despite its urban location. The clubhouse itself is elegant and inviting, featuring soft colors and beautiful spaces that can accommodate a variety of events. Like most private clubs, hosting an event here would likely require sponsorship from a member. The venue offers ample space for weddings, luncheons, celebrations, and other gatherings. There are lovely outdoor areas, as well as an outdoor pool and, I believe, tennis and pickleball courts. The staff was professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The food was delicious and well prepared. Another plus is the convenient on-site parking. Overall, this is a beautiful and unique venue that offers a tranquil setting for special events and gatherings. read more

My wife and I joined the Valley Club recently to expand our social network and also for our small children to participate in more activities. So far we like what the club has to offer. Our 3 year old has picked up some tennis lessons and we have attended a few brunches (Santa) and happy hours. I foresee us using the Club to entertain out-of-towners and for dinner on special occasions. I will all try to pick up paddle or pickleball at some point. I imagine it's also a good place to network for business (not for me) and to meet people you wouldn't necessarily meet in your existing network. read more

Genesee Valley Club - Social Clubs Near Me - Rochester, New York

The most phenomenal dinner/experience for my 35th birthday this past Saturday 1/14. The reciprocal dining was unmatched. Everything was more delicious than the next. I had the Caesar salad to start followed by the shrimp and scallops scampi. Fresh hot rolls were served up as well. Drinks were a plenty and the night was spectacular. It definitely made this birthday super special and one to remember for a long time to come. The birthday cake with the fresh raspberries was the finishing touch. It was easily the best cake I have ever had. read more

This is a lovely, beautiful restaurant with many servers to assist you. The menu is detailed with many choices. And their carrot cake is hands down the best I've ever had, and that goes for the cheeseburger, using Gruyère cheese, a "jam" consisting of bacon and caramelized onions. And the meat was super. I rarely eat cheeseburgers or hamburgers. This one was, again, the best one I ever had!! A wonderful experience. Thank you! read more

Genesee Valley Club - Social Clubs Near Me - Rochester, New York

We were invited to a dinner/ kid's party. We have never been here before. This is a gorgeous building. The staff was attentive. I had salmon which was cooked perfectly. The veggies were crisp as well. We drive past this location all the time and had no idea it was a club. So, it's low key but luxurious at the same time. read more

Best in class service and food. I have had two meals there so far and can't wait to get back. I highly recommend this place.

Visited here for a work event. The building is magnificent!! The original trim and detail are so rare. The food and staff were excellent too. Parking was easy and plenty of handicapped parking as well. Gorgeous facility read more

I was reluctant at first to join, But my wife rally wanted to since her Business partner and her Sister and Brother in law were all members already. The food is the best in the city of Rochester That I already knew from our Wedding Reception and previous dinners as guests Genero does a super job in every aspect of dining. This applies to both the Fine Dining Section and to the Armstrong Grill and to the outside dining by the pool The great point is that no matter how badly our children misbehave, The staff and other diners do not look at us rudely but accept us the way we are read more

My brother and his lovely wife had their reception here over the weekend. I enjoyed this venue and was treated like a prince by the waitstaff and bartenders. As a person who slams water like it is my job, the glass was only empty at the end of the night. While drinking booze like a champ I appreciate the hydration. We lounged in the billiard room earlier in the day and bumped everything from Dr. Dre to the Kooks over a loud system and did not receive a complaint. This is the type of place you can leave your valuables laying around and not worry about them. For dinner a salad to start was delicious. For the main course a piece of chicken stuffed with spinach and steak with mashed potatoes, asparagus, sautéed summer squash tomatoes and onions. Everything was well cooked and had nice flavor except for the steak. In order to get food out for over 100 people around the same time it's not easy to be consistent. A solid medium rare the steak was but too charred on the outside for my liking. I believe it took away from the flavor of the beef; but I still ate the majority of it. Dancing outside underneath the tent was soo much fun. Having a couple of the flaps open for ventilation would have been nice. The grounds were well manicured and I felt I had free reign. Someday if I were a baller I would consider joining a social club such as this one. While playing billiards I flipped through a book on the history of the GVC it was interesting to say the least. What a great weekend at historic section if Rochester. I enjoyed my time here and I am sure many other guests did too that evening. read more

The GVC is more than a restaurant. It is an experience; an experience in world-class service, food, attention and restaurant management. I don't hesitate in placing the GVC among the top 2-3 restaurants in the area. Your every need is promptly and professionally anticipated by the staff. Everything flows flawlessly and the food is outstanding. Five stars are not enough. The GVC is a clinic on the art and presentation of fine food and customer satisfaction. Place the GVC on your "must do" list. read more

I don't know anything about their everyday amenities but I came into Rochester for the first time from Phoenix to attend a wedding. This place was very nice and the food was amazing. Very professional staff that was always around with appetizers, wine for dinner and rolls during the meal. The bathrooms were nice and clean too, the patio is where I spent most of my time and there was plenty of space. read more
