Ports Cafe

What a gem of a restaurant. Outstanding food and exceptional service from Ruby.

Nice decor that was warm and intimate. There is a bar area and a large indoor seating area.

There were so many choices on the menu but we decided to go with the specials. I selected the burnt brisket ends with mac & cheese and pickled veggies. Karen went with the flank steak and scallops.

We both loved our dinner, well seasoned and cooked to perfection.

If you are looking for fine dining with fresh ingredients, then this place is for you.

I do recommend making a reservation. You wouldn't want to miss out.

Our experience was fantastic. The place is very cozy. We were lucky to get a reservation on the same day. Our server at Billsboro winery actually told us to come here over anywhere in Geneva, and we were not disappointed. We had the mussels and they tasted great. I wasn’t a huge fan of the “chunky”-ness of the sauce, I’m a fan of just a great broth with little extras when it comes to mussels. I chose the pork special and my fiancé had the gnocchi. Both were excellent but the pork was better. This place is worth a stop for sure!

New in the area & my bf took me here for my bday dinner. Staff were very nice & accommodating, did not have to catch her, stopped by our table from time to time to check on us. Food were amazing as well, octopus appetizer is a must try! & their crème brulee is one of the best I’ve had. Kinda had a glance of the lake view . Will definitely come back & take my friends here when they come visit me!

My husband and I have been here a handful of times but tonight we came for “date night” and everything was absolutely outstanding! From our drinks, appetizers, entrees, and the homemade salted caramel cheesecake for dessert. Delicious!! We also had a wonderful server, Emily!!!

We were referred to Ports Cafe from a friend who highly recommended it. WOW! What an AMAZING dinner experience we had! We were wine touring with my parents and we were all extremely impressed. Thank you for a wonderful dinner, a beautiful atmosphere, and the special memories that were made ❤

Fantastic dining experience. A friend recommended Ports Cafe to us. This gem sits all alone on the road but looks are deceiving as the food was amazing. We started with cocktails and apps, moved along to main courses which were all perfectly prepared, and finished with dessert and coffee. Everything was wonderful. We hope to be back!

I dream about the 10 hour short rib ragu and gnocchi. The staff are excellent and the flavor never misses. Seriously, anything you can think to order will likely be a hit.

My only regret from my time in Geneva is not eating here more often.

The food was amazing and the service was even better! Definitely will be coming here again. Gordon Ramsey would be proud!

(If you are sensitive to noise be warned it can be rather loud at times)

Great food with bold flavors. I had a rack of lamb with peppercorn crust and cabernet demi. My wife had chicken and shrimp pasta with Thai peanut sauce. Big hits. Dessert was Bourbon Pexan Creme brulee, which was cooked perfectly. Kudos!

Duck bites (liver pâté on phyllo dough) This was the bomb! I also had the famous short rib with gnocchi and the amazing berry dessert. Everything was great!

Came here with a couple of girlfriends during our winery weekend. We all left super satisfied, could not have been happier. The food was so flavorful and delicious, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything. The brie app was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted and I don’t typically enjoy brie. The scallops, salmon, and gnocchi were all amazing choices and would highly recommend!

One of the best meals we have had in a long time. Best restaurant in the finger lakes. Hands down. 6 courses that just got better and better.
Get the lobster roll sliders. Best lobster roll of my life.

Delicious food and great service. Very nice atmosphere.

Incredible food, impeccable service by our server, Emily. Atmosphere is casual, but inviting. The food is definitely a cut above the usual fare. Excellent!

We had 7pm reservations for 4 of us on Saturday night. It was busy when we arrived but we’re seated right away near a wonderful fireplace.
We each ordered cocktails that were delicious. The specials menu was pretty large and in combination with the regular menu, so many choices. We ordered the tandoori chicken, salmon, mani, and a large salad. Everything was delicious but the tandoori chicken was AMAZING.
I finished the meal with the chocolate martini which was a lovely ending.
Everything was wonderful and cozy and delicious- thank you!

Too busy eating all of the amazing food we ordered to take photos but I included some of the exterior and interior.

my husband and I were spending our honeymoon in the finger lakes and we stumbled across ports café. I am so thrilled that we found this spot because the food here was seriously to die for. Looking forward to our next trip out because we will definitely be making this a stop on our list!

A fantastic experience start to finish! The specials are quite numerous, you can't go wrong. The mussels were great, the scallops were huge and delicious, the steak was perfectly done, the short rib was tender and flavorful, the gnocchi were perfect homemade pillows! And please... For the love of all things holy, do yourself a favor and order the caramel cheesecake for dessert, I don't know if I've ever had a better dessert. Can't wait to come back!!

Fantastic food and great ambiance. I had the delicious winter salad (greens, apples, walnuts, cramberries, feta with raspberry vinaigrette) and the unbelievably mouthwatering ricotta gnocchi with red wine braised short rib. The best gnocchi I've had outside Italy, every bite was heaven! The chocolate gnache torte with raspberry was a great ending. Jade was a great server. Excellent menu choices, get here!

The service and the food were both above average. The sauce on the ribs was bland, but the ribs themselves were meaty and nicely slow-cooked. The rest of the meal, and the atmosphere were right on point. Having a table with a lake view was a nice bonus. Not being able to put in an appetizer order until our party was complete and we could also put in our main course order was a bit odd… will be prepared next time. Looking forward to sampling the desserts when I go back.

Hands down one of the best steaks I've had in my life. Perfectly cooked. Extremely tender. The Bacon burgundy butter took it to a whole new level. Calamari was so tender and well seasoned. The best part overall though was Caralyn. Great service. Very attentive without being overly such.
It wasn't just food, it was an experience and it showed.
