We first visited last summer and then again this past week. Can't wait to return again and again and again! Menu is extensive (at least 8-10 additional offerings than on the printed menu), service is friendly and just-right pacing, nice selection of Finger Lake wines, very fresh food cooked just how you like it. Tuna and duck dinner specials were... more

I met a friend from college for dinner. The food was amazing. The special menu is staggering. Our waiter was nice enough to leave the list with us so that we could browse the list and details. We all ordered from the specials menu. The roasted pear salad was delicious and the seafood kabobs were fresh and done perfectly. I... more

We had hoped to spend a leisurley evening tasting Finger Lakes wines and enjoying good food. We were disappointed to learn that only 4 local whites were available by the glass. Everything else was great. They served a 3-glass 'flight' of wine for $8.00. The meal was excellent, our waiter was friendly and helpful, and the decor was cheerful and... more

Who would ever guess that tucked next to an ice cream stand is one of the best kept secrets in the area? Don't bother with the menu. Almost 20 daily specials will be sure to tickle your taste buds. The chief knows his stuff and gets it right. Great wines and beer selection. Be prepared to stay a while. The... more

My husband and I have dined here a few times now and we love it. Service is always good. The menu is small, but the daily special list is very extensive. Everything is fresh and always amazing!! We try something new and different every visit and no complaints. It's the place we take friends and family when they come for... more

At the recommendation of our B&B, Los Gatos, in Penn Yan (which is amazing--definitely consider staying here if you're looking), we ate dinner at this restaurant on Friday night and were very pleased with our choice. Very extensive menu, a little Italian (penne with meatballs), mexican (nachos, fajitas), steaks, fish, and so on. I think there were 8-10 specials that... more

We stopped at Port's at around 4pm on a Saturday to browse the menu, as the place was highly recommended by a gal at a local winery. We were greeted promptly by a very helpful gentleman, who turned out to be the proprieter. The menu was interesting and we decided to make a reservation. They had only two tables available,... more

The service was friendly and attentive. The decor was fine. Unfortunately, the food was very mediocre. The greens were slightly wilted, the barbecue ribs were unbearably salty, the lamb chop was tough (despite being medium rare) and the sundae had chunks of solid ice (evidence that the ice cream had melted and been refrozen). more

Port's came highly recommended to us by friends -- and for good reason: it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had in the Finger Lakes. The menu is diverse -- but we made our selections from the long and interesting list of daily specials. A relaxed unpretentious environment with exceptional food and good service! more

My wife and my sons joined me for a great meal recently at Ports. By far, and I mean by far- the best dining in the Geneva area. And I speak from experience. Tasty food, great wine and good service was delivered at a price that is a VALUE. more
