Reviews
Ports Cafe was a very good restaurant during our recent Finger Lakes trip. The service was fast and congenial, and I appreciated the easy reservations and ample parking. The decor inside was standard fare, but it was lively on a weekday night. The food options were similarly fairly standard, but everything we tried was good to great, and the wine options were delicious.
4.3/5
Friendly and helpful servers and we loved the ambience! Plenty of parking at the location. They have a fantastic selection of drinks and we tried the pomegranate martini - highly recommend this!
Mushroom soup - Creamy mushroom soup with a string flavor of red wine! Sprinkled with the perfect amount of blue cheese which tied the whole thing together.
Mussels - in the most incredibly flavorful Dijon tarragon cream sauce (think it had a string taste of fennel in there as well). To die for!!
Mahi - cooked well but a touch under seasoned. Served with saffron rice and roasted veggies and garlic. Loved the combo!
Tandoori Chicken - tandoori chicken was missing a bit of tartness and the rice was a little harsh (spices weren’t cooked through enough imo). Regardless, the dish was incredible and I would highly recommend it! Served with some pita. I think the dish could’ve used or some freshness with a mint or cilantro chutney.
Great find for dinner. Very good food. Not inexpensive. Bartenders were really nice while we had drinks at the bar waiting for our reservation time. Server was nice and attentive. Very busy. Loud. Thought we'd have a lake view based on Maps, but not really.
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!
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!
If I have to travel to Upstate New York to eat a (very well) seasoned meal, so be it. I had the Delmonico Steak and let's just say plans are already being made to visit again. This place is good. Want to change your life? Get the mushroom tart and the calamari-shrimp fry. My word, it was divine. If the drinks and dessert matched the apps and entrées, I would have given 5 stars. Go make your reservation- you're welcome.
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!
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)
