- Recently, FLX Table in Geneva was rated as the country’s best restaurant, as listed by USA Today’s 10best Reader’s Choice Poll.

Not only that, but FLX Table boasts an incredible wine list, easily making it one of the best restaurants to visit in the Finger Lakes Region.
- Veraisons Restaurant at Glenora Wine Cellars placed 8th in the same poll above, and is also an excellent choice if you’re looking for an upscale and romantic dining experience. They source all of their meats, produce, and cheese from local Finger Lakes farms.
- Within walking distance from the Inn at Gothic Eves is Hazelnut Kitchen. It’s a must for our guests, and it’s also been listed as worth the 5-hour drive from NYC by the New York Times’ food critics. They serve up fresh, local produce with their simple and unique dishes. But don’t let the simplicity of their menu keep you away, as their preparation is magnificent.
- Get a feel for life in the Finger Lakes Region, as you enjoy a delicious meal overlooking beautiful Seneca Lake at Stonecat Cafe. It’s just 20 short minutes from the Inn. They also have regular live music performances that add to the experience.
- Atlas Bowl is also worthy of being put on any list of the best Finger Lakes restaurants, and it, too, is within walking distance from the Inn. Not only do they offer an excellent range of well-executed comfort food, but you can get in a fun game of bowling or crash pins while you’re there!
- Just a Taste in downtown Ithaca is a great place to go for Spanish-inspired Tapas. Their menu changes frequently, but it’s a great place to gather with friends, both old and new, and share a variety of delicious small plates.
- If you’re looking for a great lunch spot while you’re out wine tasting or otherwise exploring the region, try Heights Cafe and H Bar, also in Ithaca.
- Le Cafe Cent Dix, a timeless French bistro, serves up delicious traditional favorites like steak frites and Frisée Aux Lardons.
