It came with a salad and French fries. The steak was cooked perfectly and was pretty big. The fries were good as well. The salad was good, although the dressing was a little weak. We got a dessert too, but after 4 glasses of wine, I'm not sure what it was anymore. It was good as well. It was kind of hard to hear the presenters speak, because even though we were in a private room, it was pretty loud from the outer room of the restaurant. My wife liked her salmon but wished it came with a potato or rice.

Honestly prefer the desserts more than the food here, although we've had dinner here two or three times I think, but the desserts have always been what's most memorable to me. I still think about the apple cider donuts we ate here last fall. Whoever the pastry chef is here is amazing!! The dessert menu is constantly changing we can't even keep up, but it is always on theme with the season. This most recent time, we ordered the Smores Baked Alaska and Blueberry Shortcake. Both were soo good, but I liked the smores baked alaska the most--the different layered textures and flavors were perfect.

If you're looking for a cold drink, good food, and people who'll make you feel like you've been coming here for years, you've found the right place. As a fellow Marine, walking into a veteran owned bar just feels different. The military memorabilia isn't there to impress anyone. It's there because it's part of the owners' story, and you can tell. Let's be honest... this place is a dive. A glorious, unapologetic dive. If Joanna Gaines walked in, she'd immediately start looking for shiplap and then quietly leave. But that's exactly the charm. Nobody's pretending to be upscale. They just focus on good food, cold beer, and making people feel welcome. The staff and regulars are some of the friendliest people you'll meet, and that's what keeps you coming back. Sometimes the best bars aren't the prettiest. They're the ones where everyone seems happy you're there. Semper Fi.

We sat on the patio, they have shaded or sun and lots of tables. I had the Chardonnay and it was really good! We had the smoked salmon appetizer and the potato skewers. I'm not a fan of salmon, but with the sauce they provide, it was doable. The potatoes were so good, crispy on the outside, but they explode into creaminess when you bite them. We didn't have them this time, but the calamari appetizer is my favorite! We were having such a good time, we decided to stay for dinner. I had the Coq au vin and loved it. I usually get the Beef bourguignon because that is also really good. My husband had that and it did not disappoint. Service was great, as always! One of the best restaurants in Geneva.

It took a number of years but enterprising restauranteurs laid claim to appropriate buildings and neighborhoods opening places where you could actually get something interesting to eat. Hell, even BERWYN has a fine-dining joint (or 2)! The "3rd Street" corridor in Batavia is prima facie evidence this crusade is thriving, as there are a BUNCH of great places on that Rue to stuff your face in style, (and drink accordingly.) We've been working our way down the street; as I have been in the mood for French, Le Cochon was high on the list. It was late afternoon when I and a foodie pal of mine visited. The rooms were at once light, open and airy, yet personal. The bar was adjacent and it looked heroically stocked. The waiter was personable and pleasant. The menu shouted "Bistro", and actually was sort of irritating, 'cos even after poring over it online before, everything looked so good I couldn't make up my mind! But rules are rules, and I have mine. When I go into a place for the first time, I always try to get the specialty of the house. As this is a "bistro" I finally swung with the Escargot and Steak Frites. Cliche'd, I know, but c'est le cuisine. My pal bucked tradition and went with a Burger. I should say here the house is known for a Pork Belly dish, but Belly of Pork (unless it's cured into Bacon) is a protein I will not eat. There's not much I won't stuff down my gullet, but Pork Belly is one. I just don't like that much fat. The good news? More for YOU! But I digress... The 'Scargots were classic in prep and top-notch in quality. As expected there was a lagniappe course in sopping pieces of the excellent baguette provided from the bread service in the garlicky butter remaining after munching the snails. It was a Hanger Steak wot arrived on my plate replete with an herb-y compound butter. I ordered the steak "Rare-Bleu", and it was the perfect temp, even with serious char marking. The steak was chunk-cut when served. I blessed the chef for seasoning the steak deftly. The Frites came with ketchup and aioli, they were great. There was nothing out of the ordinary about my pals burger, but he IS a knowledgeable foodie and reported it was delicious. Burgers are pretty easy to do, but to get one of championship quality takes skill. Notable were the two rashers of excellent, thick Bacon hanging over the sides of the sandwich. The chef here hit the mark! The Predominantly French WineList is dizzying expensive for bottles. My pal is an experienced oenophile and says the list shows care, but Oy! the prices! He's a very successful businessman, and even HE thought the prices were high. In contrast, the "per glass" prices were normal. LeCochon IS in a posh neighborhood, after all. I had a glass of Rhône blend which was hand-in-glove with my steak. Flavors outasite! Fine coffee and a classic Crème Brûlée for afters. I know somewhere behind the bar they prolly had a Calvados, which would have topped the meal off with a gold ribbon, but I was driving, and there are many miles between LeCochon and Stately Breakwind Manor. A wonderful feed, and a surprisingly good value considering the high quality. I'll bet that "light and airy" vibe turns quite romantic after dark; but know the tables are actually quite cozy together. There are a few booths available-try to snarf one of those if you're on a date. Throwing 5 for this super boîte. Eat here soon!

I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. The only thing I would have changed is that my meal came with beans but not rice. I probably should have asked if rice could be added. The indoor atmosphere was warm, inviting, and a perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. Between the friendly service, generous portions, and tasty food, I'd definitely return and look forward to trying more of the menu.

I am a bit of a snob when it comes to patty melts, so when I say it was the best one I've had since Woolworth, that should tell you everything you need to know. My daughter got the kids grilled cheese. When I say grilled cheese, this was an absolutely beautiful sandwich that was put together with care. My daughter is very picky and wound up gobbling down this enormous sandwich, which surprised me because she eats like a bird. The beer there is top notch. I'm very opinionated when it comes to craft beer. Everything I've had there I have really enjoyed. I highly recommend this place. We had an app, kids meal, split an adult meal and 4 beers for $90.

We sat at the bar and the one bartender tried his best to keep up with the drink orders for the whole restaurant & the bar patrons drink & food orders. As we approached a wait of 1 hour & 35 minutes, we asked the bartender to have the meals placed in to go boxes. 10 more minutes go by without our meals and we asked to speak to a member of management. What was concerning was the restaurant manager on duty only came out when we requested to speak with a manager. In a calm tone, asked the manager on duty if a 1 hr 45 minute wait for our meals was reasonable. He tried to tell us that they were very busy and the kitchen was behind. Agreed. When asked if we should pay for a meal that was severely delayed he agreed the wait was excessive and he would cover the cost of the meal. I appreciate this reaction from the manager on duty. Unfortunately, when we took our meals to go, we didn't have a good experience with the meals. Received one chicken breast grilled and one breaded for the Portofino Pollo dish. Looked like they grabbed what was up at the time in the kitchen and placed it in the to go containers. Flavors were bland, likely a result of being rushed after a 1 hr 45 min wait. This might be coincidental but being short staffed at the Compton Hills location when they are opening a new location in Geneva is probably what led to the severe delays from the kitchen in servicing meals. Hope the opening of the Geneva location doesn't adversely impact the Campton Hills location beyond our dining visit experience. I gave a rating of 2 as the Manager on Duty did agree to cover the meal cost. The bartender tried to keep us from leaving by offering us a drink on the house to stay after we asked for the meals to be placed in to go boxes to take home at that point versus staying and dining. Proactive customer support would've helped versus a reactive attempt of customer support. Didn't penalize the bartender and provided a cash tip since the kitchen's delay was not his fault. Let's hope Portofino Trattoria does better in the future.
