I highly recommend choosing another location for your dinner reservations, because the policies at this restaurant are questionable at best. I'm also very disappointed with the front desk. I should've asked for a manager, but I was so shocked at how our group was treated. I stopped in before running next door to Red Eagle with our group of 8 and put our name down for either bar seating or two tables of four. I was told we would receive a phone call when tables were available. I was also told they would have room at 6pm for our group.We didn't receive any phone calls, even though I had my phone out and received other notifications. So our group went back at 6pm and were told we were out of luck because they never got a hold of us. I asked if they left a voice mail and was told no. I do not believe they ever called me. One member of our group pulled out his phone and called, mine rang immediately.On our way back to the parking lot, another group said they had the same issue with the hostess'. No call, returned at the appointed time to be told no tables were available. Two other groups that overheard us talking that were planning to eat here turned around and went elsewhere as well. It's a shame, as I've heard they have good food, but I won't be returning here after service like this and we generally make a trip to Geneva several times per year.

The staff are wonderful and knowledgeable. They put together a good experience in a very clean and cozy tavern. Perhaps I'm not the target audience as the current menu could use something for plain folk.

Incredible food and atmosphere. The menu changes very frequently, but each time we've dined it's been amazing. The house bourbon is one of our favorites and their pretzel tart dessert is probably one of the best desserts I've ever had. Go to red eagle, then go here. Perfect day.Vegetarian options: They serve many vegetarian and gluten free options. Just recently they had a sweet potato taco dish that was amazing.

Exceptional food and cocktails. Prices are commensurately upscale but worth it if you have the means.

Honestly we had a five star experience last year. This time it was subpar. Limited menu, a waitress who seemed disinterested and we did call in a special request that did not happen

We have eaten here quite a few times and it never disappoints!We love all the natural wood beautifully restored that instantly gives you that relaxed feeling.What we really enjoy is getting to try several things each time we visit. On this visit we tried the asparagus flatbread, veal meatballs, Caesar salad, deviled eggs & the ricotta gnocchi! The gnocchi was the best I've ever had! The gnocchi was light ( yes light in texture)and the sauce was rich in flavor and delicious! The Meatballs were great, the sauce & a little crunch from the peanut sauce on top oh so good! Everything else was equally as good and we love that we are not rushed and can savor the flavors of the food. Great attentive service without feeling rushed. Keep up the great work! We are so happy this restaurant is in close proximity to where we live.
