Kindred Fare

Geneva's coffee and food scene has been somewhat disappointing so far but Kindred Fare certainly made up for it! Ordered the fried chicken under the kids' menu and it was perhaps one of the best fried chicken I've had. The cornmeal crust tasted incredible, and the chicken was fried to perfection. 🍗 Both the service and the ambiance of the place were amazing, too.

Great atmosphere, fantastic service and delicious food! Justin was a great server and walked us through the menu with great recommendations. The house-made bread and gluten free crackers were amazing, followed by the steak and pan seared salmon. They make an awesome old fashioned with house made bitters too with a taste of cinnamon. Overall great spot for dinner or a special occasion.

Just splendid! I had my birthday dinner with my partner here on a Monday night. We had a reservation for two and got in easy with no wait. We went with the Chef’s Menu which was strawberry themed this week. Everything was amazing! We also had the poutine as a starter. The salads are an absolute must here. My partner and I both agree it was the best out of all the dishes we had. I also had to get the cherry Sunna Wellness Elixir since I was so impressed with them from the previous Wellness Elixir pairing dinner I attended here. Our server, Emily, was also very kind and attentive. Thanks for making my birthday great!

We stopped before a show at the Smith Opera House, and ended up wishing we had more time for dinner. The atmosphere was lovely: brick, black accents, plants. Our server Ellie was bubbly and knowledgeable. Our entrees were a tasty crab cake with a tangy slaw, and a burger drizzled with garlic aioli and crunchy pickles. We each had a glass of wine as well (LOCAL Anthony Road winery....bravo!) Alas, we only spent 40 minutes there. I look forward to coming back when we have more time to linger over small plates, cocktails, and maybe dessert.

Had a light meal here, came because of the poutine, but got carried away by the field salad. Apparently they have seasonal fruits in the salad and yet still manage to make it delicious. The poutine was delicious as well but the gravy was a tad bit salty. Would definitely come again for both.

We have been visiting the Finger Lakes area for several days now and this is one of the restaurants that I chose for dinner. I chose this based on recommendations from a Facebook group and also the reviews on here. We arrived at 7:15 and we’re immediately seated. I can’t remember our servers name, but she was very nice and very proud of where she worked when she told us that everything that can be made in the restaurant was made there. My partner started with a glass of Billsboro Chardonnay and I had black iced tea. He thought the Chardonnay was just OK. My iced tea was very good. I ordered the flank steak with french fries and instead of the garlic aïoli I asked for the homemade ketchup. My partner had the pasta Primavera with chicken and he also ordered a side of the focaccia bread. The flank steak I ordered was cooked to perfection. The homemade steak sauce and homemade ketchup was excellent. My partner enjoyed his pasta Primavera entrée. The focaccia was a little on the dry side, but the homemade butter was excellent. We shared the three scoop ice cream flight which consisted of a scoop of vanilla, a scoop of chocolate, and a scoop of melon sorbet. For $15 it could’ve been better. They all had good flavor, but in my opinion, I think they were put into the jars ahead of time and put back into the freezer which made the vanilla and chocolate icy. Overall, a good experience, but there were still a few misses.

Breaking up our drive back to Ohio from Canada and decided to stay a night in Geneva, NY. I was looking for dinner options on Google Maps and am glad I stumbled across Kindred Fare. What a fantastic meal and service to match from Lewis. I had the crab cake sandwich and chocolate coconut tart, and they were delicious. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend dining here, you won’t be disappointed.

Aesthetically, this place is cozy, interesting, adorable, and gorgeous. The cocktails and menu items are innovative and tasty. The wine selection was expansive and had some great local options. I really loved this place, and I'm so happy I stumbled upon it!
