    Asiago bacon ranch chicken wrap
    Morgan H.

    Great spot to pop in for a quick lunch or just to enjoy the games. I came in around noon on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating available. I ordered their wrap and loved that they added ample dressing so it wasn't dry. I opted to sub the kettle chips for their macaroni salad which I highly recommended because it wasn't overly dressed up with mayo and had the right amount of celery for that crunch. Bonus because there's a parking lot across the street with plenty of spaces available.

    Mo, a good friend and regular took us here to eat. Glad he did because everything was incredible. It's definitely a cool bar/restaurant. I tried the Dusted wings with an All the way Burger both were amazing. Also try the green front downtown golden ale pairs well with wings. Our server Allysa T kept the drinks flowing and was very personable. Plenty of free parking across the street. Bathrooms are clean

    Pretzels and a cider
    Marti C.

    We ran in here to get some dinner and out of the rain. Had a great cider pretzel and pizza with the husband. Even in a busy rush hour, service was amazing. Highly recommend. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable about drinks and the menu. The pretzels were delicious. They were fresh and pillowy soft. The beer cheese made it perfect. We shared a chicken bacon Margherita pizza with a truffle balsamic vinegar drizzle. So good. Dough was thinner and crispy with a good yeast pull. Loved it. If we lived near here, we would definitely be back.

    My husband and I took a Friday off in December and enjoyed lunch at The Greenfront. Nicki is always wonderful to see, my chicken Caesar salad was delicious, and my husband highly recommends the ham sandwich!

    Chicken sandwich with side salad
    Susan B.

    Repeat customer! Local bar restaurant that has that hometown feeling. The staff are always welcoming. Stopped in on a Sunday a little before 1pm and our party of 5 were seated immediately. Had a sample of the new Genesee specialty that was on tap...Black Cherry Vanilla Kellerbier. Food order was placed and received promptly. Everything was delicious...grilled veggies wrap with chips, small white garlic pizza, chicken sandwich, double house garden salad with chicken!!!

    Garlic Parm wings
    Laura S.

    Second time here. And we continue to be blown away. We're from Buffalo, but our first visit was so great, we won't ever pass through without stopping again. And their garlic parm wings are the best I have ever had. Strong statement for a Buffalo girl. Same for the chili... incredible. The staff is also so friendly, and a great lineup of drinks on tap.

    Beef Sandwich w/ the Works

    Had an absolutely delicious beef sandwich with the works. Perfectly cooked and juicy. Au jus is delicious and authentic. Host and server created a friendly environment which matched the bar and dining experience. Great place to grab a drink and watch a game. Always get the beef sandwich!

    Spacious restaurant with pretty good food overall. The pretzel was stuffed with cheese and it was so yummy. Unfortunately it was barely stuffed with jalapeños and was not spicy. The salad wasn't very fresh and was ok. The pizzas were good particularly the white garlic one. Good service and right on the Main Street in Canandaigua.

    Kevin and server, Sandy.

We came as a larger group and they were nice enough for us to order from the breakfast menu as they switched over the lunch menu at 11:30am. Our table enjoyed the food but all agreed it wasn't worth the price point. I tried the chocolate croissant with homemade butter and maple bacon jam along with the Canadian bacon Benedict. The chocolate croissant was nice with the maple bacon jam but definitely not worth the price point of $12. The croissant was quite smaller, like the chocolate croissants you can get from Costco or Starbucks. The Canadian bacon eggs Benedict however was delicious and I really enjoyed it! I just am not sure again it was worth the high price point. However I definitely felt the service was missing. As we were the only ones in the dining area, I felt the service was missing the mark. The server saw we were carrying a baby in the restaurant but didn't ask if we wanted a high chair. My mother-in-law spied it in the corner and then we had to ask for it and we proceeded to set it up at the table. As I was with 2 young kids, I ordered some simple items before the main course like their chocolate croissant and fruit cup. I assumed the server would ask if we wanted those ahead of time but that didn't happen. He also had forgotten my son's drink order and which my son actually had to ask him after some time "where's my juice?" My older son had ordered the s'mores waffles and it looked good when it was delivered but as I cut some of it for me to try later on, I soon realized the batter was uncooked in the middle of most of them. I was thoroughly disappointed he had eaten some of it before I discovered it was uncooked. The server throughly apologized and they remade the order which in the end, we ended up taking home with us. They also didn't take the order off the check for us which normally that would happen. For such a classy restaurant, we would think they would know how to make waffles and for more top-notch service. I think next time we will just enjoy the nice views and choose to eat somewhere else when we are in the area.

Edit: the manager was very empathetic and rectified the situation once i spoke with her. i think maybe they just had an off night.

It also includes 2 strips of bacon, a piece of ham, and a sausage patty. Sounds delicious, but the home fries are not from home, they are likely frozen, and they were way overdone. I couldn't even get my fork into many, and they were so bland. I doused them in ketchup and the "awesome sauce" on the table. No help. The pepper and onions were largely absent.. They were so finely diced, and also overcooked, it was easy to miss. Sausage, bacon, and ham were VERY crispy and a little burnt, but they were still tasty. The eggs were spot on. It came with meat sauce or sausage gravy. Both were very rich. I passed on my meat sauce (too much allspice and/or nutmeg for me). Husband ate his gravy.

EDIT: If you post a sign on the door with specific hours but don't update your hours on Google, it can create confusion for customers. Additionally, there seems to be a discrepancy between the chalkboard outside, which lists a closing time of 2 PM, and the sign allegedly on the door which stated 11:30 AM close. We didn't even see the 11:30 sign. The hostess also mentioned a noon closing time. It might be helpful to ensure that all sources of information are aligned to avoid misunderstandings. For those seeking consistency, another option nearby, such as Simply Crepes, might be a better choice. If the owner is responding to Yelp reviews, I'm sure he's tech savvy enough to update hours on Google. Also, if last call is 11:30 and we walked in before 11:15, not sure why we weren't able to be seated.
