Amazing food and service. Very nice restaurant in downtown Canandaigua. The place was packed, but was able to be seated at the bar immediately. I was promptly given menu and offered beverage. I decided to go with the clothesline bacon appetizer. I was pleasantly surprised when I was presented with a clothesline with bacon hanging from it, and rosemary on top. The chef then pulled out his torch and heated the bacon, and set the rosemary on fire. What a show! The people next to me had to order it just because it looked great(and tasted great too!) I ordered the Shrimp Alexander and really enjoyed the dish. It came out quickly, and was delicious. Even though it had bacon on the shrimp, I enjoyed eating the clothesline shrimp at the same time. When in town, stop by and enjoy some amazing food and company. Keep up the great work Kix! read more

We went to Kix on Main because we read about it. The atmosphere was lively despite the second floor being closed to accommodate an event. We had 2 Kix burgers and the Fried Chicken sandwich. Burgers were supposed to be medium rare. Both were undercooked and too raw. Macaroni salad was bland and cole slaw had so much horseradish it only tasted like horseradish. The fried chicken was excellent but the sandwich was huge so I would recommend splitting it if you are not famished. Service was good and made the experience positive. It's just the food was not as good as the reviews we read about. I would not go back to this restaurant. read more

Great evening at Kix with friends for dinner. I had the scallop gnocchi November special. It was super rich, so I couldn't finish it. I do feel like I should have ordered something else but next time. The French onion soup was delicious. Our waitress was super friendly. My husband had the turkey gobbler special and he enjoyed that. read more

Had a reservation for a party of 6 people at 6:15pm on a Saturday night. Seated 5 minutes before our reservation time. The table was upstairs in the enclosed rooftop for the colder weather. Food arrives at the table at different times, don't expect it to come all together. Not a problem when you are aware. Food was good but nothing to write home about. I did really enjoy Furdock's Mexican Corn Elote Dip, though. Our waitress was very personable and attentive. Expect to drop some dough for your meal and drinks. read more

It's was kinda blah. We made reservations and still waited 15 minutes for our table. The lavender mule was yummy. The French onion soup was a little tasteless and WAY too big for a before dinner soup. I finished half of it. I really wanted the beef wellington, but I do not like mushrooms and they wrap the inside of it with the paste, so I had to pass. I got the chicken france' and it was also kinda blah. It was weirdly sweet, but the chicken itself was good. Ambiance, I give a 2. It is so dang loud and crowded in there, so if you aren't a fan of that, don't even try this place. Bartenders, 8 give a 5 Staff, I give a 3. We had to ask for silverware. read more

I had a very upsetting experience here regarding gluten safety. I made an OpenTable reservation, and when we were seated, I clearly informed our server, Josh (who was training another staff member), that I have celiac disease. I ordered the GF cauliflower wings and a Caesar salad with salmon. After getting home, I became extremely ill for the next two days due to gluten exposure. I contacted the restaurant via email to let them know the items were not safe for someone with celiac disease. When I spoke with Josh, he claimed he had explained the difference between "gluten-friendly" and "gluten-free," but that was not communicated to our table--I confirmed this with others dining with me. He apologized and offered to look up my card in their system and issue a refund for the items, which I appreciated. However, I never received the refund. After a few days with no response, I was eventually contacted by the owner, who was extremely rude and dismissive. He insisted the items are only "gluten-friendly," not "gluten-free," and said they make no guarantees. When I mentioned that Josh had offered a refund (the items totaled about $45), the owner called out to him in the background, and Josh then denied ever offering one. This was extremely unprofessional. This experience was not only disappointing but also concerning from a health and safety standpoint. If you have celiac disease or a gluten allergy--or are dining with someone who does--I would strongly caution against eating here. Based on my experience, there does not appear to be adequate care taken to prevent cross-contamination or ensure gluten-free safety. Unfortunately, they have lost my business, as well as the business of others in my party. read more

I had the Osso Bouco and it was amazing, the pork was so tender, it fell off the bone. My husband had the Beef Wellington, I had a bite of that and that was amazing too. Well done to the owner and chef I would have never thought that I would order Beef Wellington and Osso Bouco from a bar like setting.. Our waitress was funny and on point, she made us feel comfortable for our first time there. We sat across from the bar and the atmosphere was great, this was a great find and worth every cent. If you're ever in the Canandaigua area, stop here for a great meal and good drink. We didn't make reservations but they got us in, I would recommend that you make a reservation, because it got busy and you might have to wait awhile if you don't. I wish I had taken pictures. read more

Not sure where the rave reviews are coming from, but we found the staff rude and the food pretty terrible. I had a turkey club and the turkey was bad, so if they can't even get that right, I doubt they are killing it on more complex dishes. Not quite sure why the food does come out one by one.. they said something about being an "artisan" kitchen but I mean, that's clearly not it. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend. read more

Four of us went on a hazy Tuesday summer night and were seated on the rooftop. There was a breeze so it was nice. The tables were clean and we were greeted promptly. Three people ordered salads and one nachos. The waitress told us as we ordered our food that things were served "as they came up in the kitchen" and we may not get things at the same time. My friend and I got our salads about 25 min after ordering. Next order was another salad, 15 min later. By the time the nachos came, the first two were about done, about 15 min after the third. It took a total time of an hour to get all of our food. I'm hoping this was a mistake because that's not acceptable when we are eating together. The food was great, I loved my wedge salad. The atmosphere is also pretty good and it has a bistro vibe going. It's a shame they serve the food the way they do because I'd hesitate going again in a group. You'd be best off sharing dishes so that each of you could eat something at the same time. read more

Kix hosted a dinner for my bachelorette party for 20 gals and it was amazing! From initial outreach to paying for the check, they were helpful, accommodating, and friendly. The family style dinner had huge portions! We enjoyed the beautiful upper balcony and many drinks. Would be remiss if I forget to mention the amazing espresso martini's! Truly couldn't have picked a better spot in Canandaigua. Thank you Kix! read more

Today was the second time I have been here and the food was amazing both times! Service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was nice, they sure did redo the place from the back in the day dive bar. They have a somewhat different way of serving (food comes out when it's done not at the same time), but in my opinion that's the way it's done in many countries and I'm happy for the food to come out hot and fresh at any time if that's an issue for you maybe pass but you're passing up on some excellent food!! What we ordered: Beef Wellington, Chicken French, Blackened Salmon and sous vide pork shoulder special. read more

Great food, great service. Haddock sandwich was fantastic. 12" long fillet on 6" bun. Breaded perfectly along with the homemade tartar sauce and coleslaw. read more

We were robbed! We had reservations for Friday the 18th. We had to cancel. We called at 1:30 pm to cancel. A few days later we noticed they charged us $80 to cancel, $20/person. What the hell. I am no longer interested in going there. I'm not sure I could afford the hidden fees. read more

Our waiter was very kind and patient. The music was great and the style of the restaurant was really unique. Overall I had an excellent time at Kix on Main. read more

We came out to Kix a few nights ago and it was the first time in a couple years we were there. We had a reservation and it did take a few mins for our table to be ready but it was understandable because the place was absolutely packed. Our server Margaret was absolutely amazing and very nice. She had made a recommendation on the calamari and it was some of the best we've had in a long time. We got the chicken French and the beef Wellington. Both entrees were amazing! For dessert we got the season cheesecake that was a lemon and blueberry cheesecake and it was so refreshing and light. It was a great experience overall and I'm sure we'll be returning again soon! read more

This was our first visit to Kix and we were quite pleased. The service was great and the appetizer and entrees were delicious! We ordered a Monkey Garlic Bread and couldn't eat but half between the two of us. My wife ordered the Bruschetta Wedge with shrimp and I had the Buttermilk Chicken & Slaw. We both enjoyed the food. The portions were enormous. There were enough fries for three people! My wife barely finished half of the wedge and we brought the leftover Monkey bread home. The reservation station is oddly placed and people entering have to walk halfway through to find the hostess. Since we were seated close to the door, I saw firsthand the number of confused patrons- including us. Also- hot sauce wasn't available. We will be back again soon! read more

Pricy for what you get. Ordered the cauliflower wings. There were about 8 on an over sized plate thrown on, literally $18. Good but either give me more or lower your price. Same with dinner wedge salad also very good but very thrown together. read more

This place WAS great, but the last 2 times I went there were MANY issues. 1. Seated on the roof the waitress was no where to be found most of the night our cups were empty. Even when she came to see other tables she ignored us. 2. Fry's visibly burnt and hugely over salted. We did not eat them. 3. Avocado on salad was not even ripe. 4. Chicken on salad was sooo salty 5. Hardly any dressing on salad 6. Entree was cold and we were told that it gets cold on the walk from the kitchen upstairs The french onion soup was good. read more

Over promise and under deliver is the title line. Menu items (both bar and table) are appealing but delivery and execution lack. Service is lacking but management is clueless. Bar is slammed but chef is shaking hands and kissing babies while staff drowns. Poke nachos looked good in theory but I couldn't tell you if they were because the abundance of hot sauce made it impossible to taste. Tuna dishes don't have to be hot to be good. read more

Kix On Main - Chicken parm - New American Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

Pretty good menu options. I had the beef stroganoff and my husband had the chicken French. My dish was pretty good and flavorful. My husband said his dish was too wine-flavored. The place was packed and I'd recommend a reservation because of how busy they looked. We sat at the bar though which didn't have any wait. The service was great, the staff was super personable. The food comes out as soon as it's cooked, so if your meal is prepared before your date then you'll be eating first! We didn't mind this style, but it's something to consider if you're thinking about a first date. read more

Dimly lit very noisy the entire restaurant smelled like somebody's fish dinner. The menu is extremely limited. The food is overpriced and pretentious. I do not recommend the "Kik Balls", meatballs should not be mushy but rather have a firmer consistency. Their attempt at a trendy vibe fell way short. The big guy at the desk was rude. When he told me my table was ready he didn't move or give me indication where the table was so when I simply asked "Where?"he pointed at a table nearby and said, "It's right there...the only unoccupied table in the place" Silly me. Having never been to the restaurant and not knowing their floor plan I guess I should have read his mind. Apparently it is "Trendy" to be rude and obnoxious. read more

Have been here a few times now. Every meal has been great. I usually go with the pork chop which is amazing. Last night I changed it up and went for the fish sandwich. Was great and the coleslaw was as well, they use a little horseradish to make it spicy. Wife had chicken parm which was enormous and delicious. Definitely becoming a regular go to. read more

Kix on main is a bit pricey but their food is quite good. I've ordered several different menu items and am always happy with the flavor and presentation. The menu is solid, and I adore their cauliflower wings. I would eat here regularly if I had more funds. read more

what an absolute disappointment. extremely overpriced, awful portions- had to go out somewhere else to get enough to eat. no sides, was told the kitchen was too small to provide bread or salads. entire dish was floating in a stick of melted butter and food came out 20 minutes apart from my wife- 2 meals. will tell everyone to avoid and never step foot in there again. only $135 for a gross mess with zero accountability. read more

Food is good. Customer service -perfect. Menu very variable, everything is served freshly prepared. Onion soup is something to crave for

Absolutely amazing food. One of the best meals I've had in a while. The Gorgonzola dressing was out of this world with flavor. The Steak melt was heavenly, so tender and the bread was toasted with cheese. Perfection. Service and mixed drinks were great. Thank you, Jordan, for the awesome service. read more

The food was very good. The service was excellent. I wanted a different cheese on my sandwich and I was told absolutely not. Therefore, I will never go back there. Prior to posting this, I did try to email them, but they do not have an email address to give them an opportunity to explain why they have a no substitution policy. I couldn't do that. I'm posting this note. read more

HELL YES!!! But make sure you have a reservation! This place was packed for a Monday. I was lucky enough to sit at the bar and didn't need a table. Steve behind the bar was a Rockstar and Noah was his right hand woman were a dream service team. The food was top notch and very large portions! Thanks for an awesome experience!!! read more
