Restaurants in Geneva

“Great food!! Great atmosphere!! Very fun!!”

“Top tier food quality & customer service! I’ve been here a couple times and they never disappoint. Consistancy in both taste & service. Definitely recommend trying their food if you’re in the area!”

“Love this place! We eat here frequently on Sundays!”

“6 PM reservations Saturday and the place is packed. We were seated right away, service was prompt and attentive. Food was delicious. What more can anyone ask for? Definitely will be back.”

“I ordered a dairy free smash cake and a regular cake from Eye Candy Bake Shop for my daughter’s birthday. Everyone raved about the birthday cake and my daughter loved her personal cake! I was shown how to properly cut the cake and had help bringing the cake to my car - something most bakeries don’t do anymore! We will definitely order more cakes/desserts in the future!”

“The best pizza we have ever had hands down! We finally tried the location in Geneva a couple weeks ago and already have ordered from there twice! Also the staff is very welcoming and friendly! Easily 5 stars!”

“Delicious homemade soup and sandwiches, served hot, generous portions, and fast service w/ John Colias”

“My husband and I had our 1st meal inside the restaurant. We’d dined on the patio several times. We loved the ambiance inside. We began with the burrata appetizer-outstanding. I opted for the lamb chop special and my husband had the misto de mare, both were delicious. To finish our wonderful dinner, we had the lemoncello and mascarpone cake. Scrumptious!”

“Being a celiac person, I love that they have options for me and I feel safe ordering, knowing they take care in preparing the meal. The food is very tasty, I love that I can get cheese curds.”

“The 1st hour was terrific. We were celebrating our anniversary. Then a very loud group of four were seated right behind us. They obviously had been in the bar before coming to dinner. The remainder of our time was spent in silence since we couldn't hear each other. No fault of the restaurant or staff. Just self absorbed rude customers.”

“We had a wonderful lunch and our server, Mia was just as friendly as could be! Absolutely loved everything about this place! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon! :)”

“My granddaughter brought me to Gia Mia for my birthday. Food was excellent and the service was beyond excellent…very attentive to detail and everyone was very pleasant. From appetizer to dessert, it was wonderful. Hopefully I can celebrate my 80th birthday at Gia Mia next year. Maybe a small party💕 thank you Gia Mia for a great birthday dinner. Huge thank you to my special granddaughter, Olivia for a wonderful birthday! Treat!”

“We enjoyed the great selection from the pick two menu. We dined inside. Our server was amazing. So bubbly and kind. We are eager to go back. The food was delicious.”

“Great bourbon. The drink and bartender Rochelle was outstanding. Also you can buy bourbon here!! Win win!”

“Food is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and chill. The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. We were there with my 7 and 10 year old for dinner. My son has special needs and they were so great with him. At the end of the dinner when they could see I was struggling a bit with my son, one server came to me and said, “don’t worry mama, we got you.” So kind. Thank you Stockholms for being an amazing place. Highly recommend. Highly highly recommend.”

“Great food & customer service...!!!”

“It’s the best plate to grab a wine and snack.”

“My daughter and I had a delicious lunch at Foxfire today! The service was wonderful, and the lobster roll was one of the best I have had. Certainly a bright spot in our rainy day! Thank you, Foxfire!”

“Walrus Room is a solid five star restaurant. Table service is fantastic. Our server knew the menu inside and out, provided useful recommendations and was very attentive without being pesty. Starting with the appetizers four of us had Shrimp DeJohgne, the Burrata, Curds and Chorizo Mussels. All very very good. From their extensive lists the ladies had wine and I had bourbon. For dinner we ordered the walleye on rice, Amish roast chicken and the prime steak frites. All really good although maybe the entrees were a bit salty. We ordered too much food and drink so the nearly five hundred dollar bill was our fault. Great service, fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.”

“Great tasting and fresh food and drinks! Some of the best I’ve had”

“The staff have been really rude to me ever since I pointed out that my tab was wrong and I was overcharged. I wasn't upset about the double charges, I just wanted them corrected. I've barely been waited on since then it seems. I tried to step in a help once when a patron had been over served. It wasn't welcomed at all. I was given the same look as I get when I walk up to the bar to get a drink. Too bad, it's really close to home to me. I haven't been in over a year and have no plans on returning.”

“Wonderful place to enjoy a glass (or two) of wine!”

“We have been coming here for over 15 years and among all the places we done at, Country House is by far the best. And that is not only due to the great food but more than anything the outstanding service from the staff. We have always filled so valued and appreciated as patrons. The experience is second to none. Specifically, Michelle and Kristin in the bar area are some of the best people who have ever taken care of us. We hope Country House stays here for a very long time.”

“We attended for our company holiday party and everything was great. The drinks were delightful, all of the food came out hot and the sushi was on point!”

“I am so happy they are opened again. They were temporally closed which finding another restaurant that services the same quality of food is a challenge in this area. We always order take out and the food has great flavor and cooked well. We always order the fried rices and lo mien which any of the versions are good. General Tsao and Sesame Chicken.”

“Ice cream has never been my first choice of desserts but Candy’s Creamery may have just changed my sweet tooth preference. Tonight I had a scoop of mint chocolate chip with a scoop of dark chocolate…and oh my goodness it was delicious! Highly recommend!🍦🍦🍦”

“The Alchemist is quite simply fantastic. I can’t think of anyplace where you can get better seafood. So many cocktail bars offer drinks with great names but with no pizzazz when it come to the taste. All of The Alchemist’s cocktails have pizzazz, and if you don’t see something you want, have the bartender mix something up for you on the spot!”

“Staff- service- and the beer selections???? What else????? They are the best!”

“The steamed BBQ pork buns are a must! Beyond delicious. I also am a huge fan of the gluten-free thin rice noddles that I substitute in my main dish typically! The spicy ramen broth is delicious (my husbands go-to). If you are in a rush, this might not be the place for you. A true mom and pap shop, perfecting every dish before serving. For my husband and I, it’s well worth the wait for the authentic divine flavors. Great portion sizes as well!”

“Love their pizza! The right amount of sauce and cheese. Never a long wait.”

“Geneva ale House, good food, good staff/service, great beer selections. An ever changing beer menu with a nice of local and standard beers. Go during lunch for a more 1 on 1 friendly atmosphere. They also have some hard liquor that you don't see at some of the other bars”

“Found this hidden gem and so glad we did! We’ve been in twice now and both times had great customer service. They also offer pup dough which is another plus. Definitely check it out and enjoy! We will be back every time we are in Geneva!”

“We love Egg Harbor in Geneva,IL. Fantastic menu, superb staff, all round great place. Bring back chilled overnight oats!”

“The Apple Cider Donut Seltzer is delicious and the staff is AMAZING! I recently had the pleasure of visiting Penrose, falling in love with the seltzer, and leaving my purchase behind. The staff mailed my cocktails to Wisconsin... talk about customer service. These guys deserve a six-star review.”

“Service was awful! Our server, Joselyn, slammed down the glasses of water 5 minutes after we were seated, took our order and never saw her again until she slammed the bill down at our table. We saw her for a total of 3 minutes in the 45 minutes we were there. Unfortunately for Joselyn, her tip reflected her poor service. I tip 20-25% for good service, she lost out and made the restaurant less desirable to return. However, the burger was juicy and delicious, the macaroni and cheese was outstanding!”

“Cozy diner and fresh food.”

“Just don't rely on the app waitlist...when you get this message: You're next in line to be seated! Please head to the host stand now. Enjoy your brunch! Text "cancel" if your plans change. DONT EXPECT YOUR NAME TO BE CALLED....standing next to the host stand waiting to be called, not text, standing 3 feet away....I finally looked at my phone and I was cancelled...warning keep your heads on your phone, impersonal but it's the way it is.”

“Best steal burrito I've had. It was an actual steak, grilled then cut to pieces, not the chopped steak that's been on a grill forever. Perfectly seasoned, almost didn't need any salsa (and that's part of my reason for getting burritos!). Husband loves pastor and is a bit of a connoisseur and said it was phenomenal. The red sauce is a good actual pepper red, not too hot. The green sauce is the best verde sauce I've had. Very authentic on both. The house salsa was very fresh and bright, with some heat to it. Or server was very polite and accommodating. We may have found a new favorite. 5/5.”

“Food is amazing!! Pastor tacos and red sauce enchiladas is to die for!!”

“Healthy choice, no added sugar, smoothies are so good. Kids love it !!”

“The perfect spot for singles, couples, groups or parties. Fantastic wine selections and availability”

“Nosh has very quickly become our favorite breakfast place! The food is stellar, the staff is outstanding! Whether its your first time in or your hundredth, you are treated like friends. There is a reason we eat there sometimes multiple times a week!”

“This Kilwins is very clean and comfortable. The young guy who helped us (I think his name was Jin) was really nice. We sampled a few flavors and ended up choosing Geneva Mud and Pecan. Also picked up some seasonal cookies, super cute!”

“Always have a fabulous sub. I’m gluten free so they have a fabulous GF bun. I love most of the staff. They remember you and are funny ......It’s my one treat that I enjoy so much ....always get #2 extra meat and dressing. Thank you Jersey mike for keeping it real”

“I wish they were open longer hours this has helped me so much on my fitness journey. I sometimes crave them for dinner snacks too

I've tried a ton of the flavors they are all pretty good 👍 my faves are pineapple upside down cake, salted carmel, and better finger ♡”

“Just moved to the area and after trying LOTS of Italian spots, Antonio's has quickly become our favorite! :)”

“My favorite Geneva taco joint! Great tacos and tamales! I love the quick service and counter seat lunch spot atmosphere. A great spot for us tradespeople lookin for a hot fast and delicious lunch. Memo does a fantastic job and is always consistent! Enjoy!”

“This is a Geneva staple known and loved by locals. Love the gyros and hot dogs. Nothing fussy or complicated, just good food. I'll take Munchie P's over Portillos any day of the week.”

“Wow what a great location filled with fun and talented people! Get there if you want to relax and get caffeinated.”

“I have been eating here since I was a teenager - and even though I live a little further away now, I always come back for more. The food is excellent, and the staff and owners are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. I have eaten there hundreds of times and I only hope to come back hundreds more! If you like authentic Thai food, you will love it here.”

“I would recommend their gluten free pizza!”

“sooooooòoooooo good!!! pumpkin pie cheesecake!”

“Stopped in with a friend after a metra ride. Hung out at this establishment while we waited for my phone to charge up and for Uber to come. Typical mixed bar of locals and commuters. Sports oriented. Did not check out the menu. We just ordered a beverage. Wait staff was kind, cheerful, and attentive. They have a nice patio as well. A great place to relax as you wait for a train or a great place to unwind after a day downtown and long train ride.”

“They have single handedly guided through PMS, a breakup, and of course happy times too.
Do yourself a favor and get a cupcake during Fall times so it comes with the cutest little whipped cream pumpkin”

“We absolutely love Cotto A Legna!! We have been coming here for years and we just recently had our birthday celebration there for a large group!! They were easy to work with everything was amazing!!! We highly recommend Cotto A Legna for a night out, casual family dinner(super kid friendly) and even a special event!!”

“Owner was an incredibly chill guy along with all the staff I've come across when going there. Everything from the boba to the icecream (made fresh in store by the owner) to the other treats are extremely delicious.”

“I love Currito!!! This is my favorite place ever! I have told so many friends and co workers to go! My boyfriend and friends love it to. This place is my first choice if I’m hungry!”

“The apple fritter French toast was amazing!! I would highly recommend! Moreover, I would recommend seeing Josh! We had great service with a smile and a fun personality!”

“This tiny coffee roaster inside The Berry Shops in downtown Geneva is everything any coffee lover needs! The smells, variety of beans and ground coffee, and price for an iced coffee ($1.50!!) are beyond amazing. The owner was knowledgeable and friendly and made an amazing ice coffee, she’s a must meet for any coffee enthusiast. Her specialty is flavored coffee and there are so many to choose from; there’s something for everyone! Literally, run here for the coffee and stick around for the friendly service and offerings.”

“Used for catering for 200 people at a work event. They had everything ready, honored our schedule, and even helped set up. Strongly recommend using them for any workplace catering.”

“I LOVE the Friday Fish Fry, but they’ve got enough menu options for everyone to enjoy a meal. The fresh fish, awesome wings, burgers, and rib-eye steak sandwich are all delicious. Pair any meal with the beer or drink of your choice, catch a game on one of their multiple TVs and you’ve got a nice evening! Be sure to say hey to Natalie and Archie, they’re two of the best bartenders you’ll meet.”

“The best almond croissants 🥐 However sometimes the centers are still too doughy and wet.”

“Excellent cupcakes and coffee. We also got a box of toffee that was very good as well.”

“Delicious food and fast service! 5 stars!”

“Aurelio’s is a terrific restaurant! It has an awesome atmosphere easy to enjoy with friends and family. I’ve always had a wonderful experience there. They have great food, drinks, as well as live music on their wonderful back patio. Their service is excellent, and I highly recommend this to anyone looking have great restaurant experience and night out on the town!”

“Very happy baristas in the wee hours of the morning . . . what would make me even happier would be if they could serve me cold brew diluted with hot water instead of cold water and ice, as I have requested multiple times and have been denied 😭 "Cold brew is 67 percent less acidic than other varieties, which means that it may be easier for people with sensitive stomachs to digest." And I would prefer it warm instead of iced on these chilly mornings 😘 Is this really being too particular . . . at Starbucks?!”

“Beat tuna salad, cookies, paninis. And also in the refrigerator ready to go their smoked chicken enchiladas”

“I've been ordering here for years and never disappointed.”

“Hi. I would like to say thank you to Jacki at the Crystal lake location. She was so kind and showed empathy when I was there on Thursday 8/1/2024. It’s been a difficult week and my mom had passed away that morning. That was my first meal in about a week. She was so kind to pay for our meals. Thank you so much. I would like for that owner to know this and we will be returning back soon! 10/23/2024- we had Maya as our server today. She is also another wonderful asset to your team! Thank you for the Bingo night!”

“Liam and Joey are always super helpful, very nice, and professional. They do an excellent job. I always have a good experience when they’re working. Thanks guys for making this a great Jamba to visit!”

“I had my very first buffet at the restaurant in Geneva and was very impressed by the quality and freshness of the food. The chef, the server, and other employees were very friendly and attentive and made good recommendations for the overall dining experience. My family decided that we would definitely go back there again.”

“My wife and I have stopped by a few times and have never been disappointed. The scallion schmear with the jalapeno and cheddar bagels are " to die for". Great service, selection and the food delivers.”

And that is not only due to the great food but more than anything the outstanding service from the staff. We have always filled so valued and appreciated as patrons. The experience is second to none. Specifically, Michelle and Kristin in the bar area are some of the best people who have ever taken care of us. We hope Country House stays here for a very long time.”

“Rating this place is difficult because I love BBQ and I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile. The first time coming here (take out) was fantastic. Plenty of food, good prices, good service, and delicious food. The second time (dine -in) following a few months was not the same. Food was not all that tasty and Mac & cheese is always spicy regardless requesting without spice. It just didn’t hit the same. I do enjoy this place and want to visit a third but unsure if it’ll be like loving my first visit or settling like my second visit. Regardless, I still believe this might be one of the best BBQ place in the suburbs, which coming from is says a lot. I have had plenty of ribs from plenty of places!”
