    Each dish was delicious! Very GF friendly! Dedicated GF fryers and knowledgeable staff. Our server, Emily C., was great! Comfortable yet elevated atmosphere and ambiance. Will definitely stop back in when we are in town.

    Kindred Fare is definitely a must stop-by establishment when you're in Geneva NY. The food was amazing. - poutine 10/10: flavorful, mouth-watering, and they used cheese curds from local farm shtayburn. - pan seared scallops 8/10: scallops and wild rice were perfectly cooked. However, addition of the plum sauce is excessive and I think the sauce is too strong and sweet to pair with the dish. Drink: I had a mocktail called feed the flowers, it was refreshing Service: staffs were amazing, friendly, and very accommodating. Atmosphere: modernly decorated. Has lots of space so it doesn't feel crowded. I really liked the restaurant has open and visible kitchen. Overall: we had a great time here. Highly recommend this place!

    Lovely dining option on the west side of Geneva-convenient to Canandaigua and Rochester. Lots of delicious options, great ambience and very attentive service. Gluten-free options available upon request Prix fixe on Monday nights!

    I've been to Geneva 5-6 times and yet only stopped by here by pure chance. Stayed at a nearby Holiday Inn, and there was a poster ad for this place in the elevator. Walked 2-3 minutes from said hotel to the front door of this place, and am so grateful for giving it a shot. This place is what I'd like to see at basically all other restaurants - in terms of staff, quality of the food, cooking times, ambience, and probably more besides. We'd planned on exploring additional acclaimed restaurants around Geneva / upper Seneca lake on our trip, but this spot was so good we had to come back to try out the rest of the menu. Our server was Lauren, and she's probably one of the best servers I've ever had. Really nice, super speedy, great recommendations on the menu and also has a sixth sense for when you're ready for more food / to pay the bill / anything that comes to mind. The culinary highlight of our whole weekend.

    Sunday night dinner, our final while in the FLX area. Located in a shopping strip mall type complex, we had a reservation for 8:15 in the hopes of some post-meal shenanigans. Dark theme, open kitchen, barn wood accents and Edison bulb decor type place. Colleen? Maureen? Was our waitress and was very nice. We ordered the Mac and cheese as an appetizer to start. Served in a cast iron pan this was very good with bread crumbs on top. Served with a nice cheese sauce and cheese on top - easily a must-try item if you stop here. I kicked around ideas for my meal and played it safe with the flank steak. Served with rosemary fries and several sauces, I ordered it medium. I really loved this steak - cooked a little under medium but still temp was good and the flavors were incredible. Best steak in FLX that I tried. Only drawback was the dessert menu. You have to have CHOCOLATE cake, cheesecake, sorbet or ice cream and some other fruit type item. We ended up at the ice cream stand around the way. Best meal we had - hands down - highly recommended.

    PEACH & GOAT CHEESE FLATBREAD
    Olivia M.

    I ordered takeout from Kindred Fare this week and am so happy I did! The star of the show was the Peach & Goat Cheese flatbread, this was probably the best savory fruit topped pizza I have ever tried. The warm peach gave a sweet balance to the spicy sauce, savory cheese and chewy crust. The house fries were perfectly seasoned and the house-made ketchup and sauce were great to dip in. The cherry on top of this meal was the rich chocolatey coconut tart that reminded me of a delicious fudge. The restaurant seemed cozy and nicely decorated and the food was ready right on time.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the area never fails! Every time I'm in town, I make sure to visit. I had another amazing meal the rice bowl with chicken and an egg. It was incredibly flavorful, and even the rice was delicious. Super zaza, which means very good! My mother had the crab cake bun, which was a bit rich but still very tasty. As always, the service was quick. I really appreciate this restaurant because the noise level is just right; it's not too loud, allowing us to hold a conversation easily.

    Came here based an a rec from a darling fella at a local winery. What a score! Got a last minute reservation on a Saturday night. Service was spot on! Absolutely everything was delicious! The fries to start...perfectly crisp. We split the pork chop and it was also stunning, with the best fresh veg sauté. Highly recommend!

    CRAB CAKE SANDWICH*
    Chrissy R.

    Super delicious, fresh and homemade pasta and food - it's a "scratch kitchen" so everything is made there! Got the chicken and veggie pasta (replacing the chicken w salmon). Salmon was perfectly crisp. Pasta homemade spaghetti. With buratta, broccoli, snap peas, edamame and pesto. It was SO good! Also got a non alcoholic drink, Shavasana (verjus - Green juice, turmeric, coconut and basil) which was refreshing and invigorating - like a health shot. They have daily specials which always includes a pasta. Can't wait to try a dessert. We will be back! Update: We ended up coming back every night because we loved the food and ambiance so much! Had the salmon and vegetables and crab cake sandwich. The desserts are so good too! Try the homemade ice cream and panna cotta!

    CLASSIC POUTINE*
    Wine O.

    Absolutely F'N AMAZING!! What more can be said. This restaurant came up on numerous searched for dinner spots in the Geneva, NY area. We were in town wine tasting and 5 vineyards recommended this restaurant as their first choice. With all of those odds, we had to go. DO...make reservations online. This place gets packed nightly. DO...get the amazeballs poutine. They should put the gravy in a to-go cup with a straw, it's that damn good. DO...come with an appetite. You will leave full and sassified! Portions, while may not look huge, they are substantially filling even for the biggest eaters. Our server was above and beyond attentive and quick with any requests we had. Even made sure they could make my wife the most perfect cucumber martini. Will come back and recommend this to others when they're in the area.

    What a bonus to discover Kindred has a separate vegan menu! We had the savory peach pizza and the crispy tofu with greens. The pizza was the perfect creative autumn mix of melt and fruit, while the tofu was a typical go-to for protein. The dessert really wowed us--a crispy quinoa and pine nut ice cream along with a chocolate coconut tart. Folks here are eager to please, so don't be scared to ask about variations for your veg food. We will definitely be back next time we are in FLX!

    House fries with beef burger. Very flavorful and cooked just right.
    Sheryl S.

    We had a delicious farm to table food meal. Even homemade ketchup that was really good. We enjoy the modern atmosphere and vibe. Our waitress was excellent. We didn't have reservations and our wait was minimal. We will definitely go back.

    16oz flank steak, med rare

    Late Bday dinner for wife's uncle, trying someplace new in the finger lakes area. (We don't get here often). New, modern-industrial chic decor/atmosphere. Location is convenient for hotel guests in both the Microtel and Holiday Inn. Excellent wine/beer/craft cocktail menu, but alas I'm driving back to buffalo in a few hours. Mostly a young clientele on a Sunday evening, matching the energetic servers. Service was a bit slow, we all entered at opening time, several couples and small groups, and ours was the last table to receive our food , but when it arrived it looked, smelled and tasted fantastic. My flank steak(generally a bit tough,as a cut) was cooked perfectly med-rare, and the accompanying house fries were crisp and lightly seasoned. Wife's crab cake was delicious as was uncles venison pasta bolognese (daily special). Place filled up quickly, obviously a popular choice for dining.

    The most incredible (and only) speakeasy in the Finger Lakes…read more After hours of driving, we knew we needed a cool spot to go to at night for some delicious wine. Of course, the Finger Lakes are KNOWN for wine so we're just thinking we're making reservations for a wine bar (with "speakeasy" vibes). Which that would've been totally cool with us. After continuous back and forth, changing our reservations 50 million times, adding and taking people out, we finally made it to Vinifera on a Friday night and were super apologetic since we had to make yet another change. The staff was absolutely incredible and accommodating, they made sure our party of 10 would be in the same room/table. The only "downfall" was that we'd have to share the room with another small party. Which was absolutely not a problem and we ended up being BFF'S with them by the end of the night. We met the owner Jim - the most incredible human - and he took us down to the speakeasy (which passes right through a super secretive door in the back of the main room upstairs). Side note - the main room upstairs is a vibe on it's own btw and we would've been absolutely fine and happy there. It's an actual wine store and you can purchase all kind of local wines. Be sure to ask and get all the recommendations you want. Not only did we get to enjoy an incredible time but we got a super cool VIP experience and learned the story and so much history about this place, the concept, the origin and what sparked the idea of creating it. That itself, was a treat. On to the actual speakeasy experience. When you go downstairs (through that fun super cool super secretive door) - you're instantly transported to another era, another time. It's dark, it's velvety, chandeliers, spiderwebs (the aesthetic kind, idk if there were actually any but it fit the vibe in my head), Leonardo Da Vinci, Mona Lisa, candles, curtains. There are two super cool rooms, one to the right (which is where our large party sat at) and one to the left - totally recommended for smaller groups, it's cozy, it's chill, you can interact and share with other guests too. Just by this, I'm wowed. As if this wasn't enough, the drinks were absolutely incredible. I ended up ordering some kind of a smoked drink and they happily substituted the regular old fashioned for mezcal. What a dream. Everyone was happy with their drink orders, some ordered some off the menu things and they happily made them - even though they technically only serve what's on the menu. Wine flights are also available if you're in the wine vibe. Bottom line: we loved this place SO much, we came back 2 night's later for our last night. We sat in the other room and absolutely loved and enjoyed it. I had a lavender drink and it was delish. This place is a GEM and you should absolutely check it out and support it if you're in the area. If you're not, well now you have a place I know you'll love to go to!

Let me get to the details: Service: staffs were not attentive, friendly, nor helpful. The restaurant was busy when we came so we decided to seat outside. However, their outdoor tables were wobbly. Also, there were no bugs control devices nor heating lamps to accommodate us. When we asked to move inside, their response was we have to talk to the host and the hostess told us it is not possible because they were "too busy".... Yet we would see an empty table where they rather seat 2 people that come after us instead of us. On top of all that, our sever never came to refill our water. For service, this place is a zero star for me. Food: we ordered their famous heavy plate. The food size was loaded for the price, everything tastes fine but nothing was exceptional. Giving them some stars for the decent food. Atmosphere: inside has lots of booth style seatings and bar seatings. They can accomplish large parties. Outdoor seating is not great as their tables were cheap and they're seating on a slope. There were no heat lamps or bug controls so I don't recommend eating outside in the evening here. Overall: honestly, we felt ignored at this restaurant. I wouldn't come back here since they're not very accommodating or nice. Highly recommend management to train their staffs better.
