You might miss this place driving down Route 14, but keep your eyes peeled. It's right across from Roy's Marina. The food is always good and different. (But not so different that it's a turn off to a traditional pallete!) Service is quick and friendly. More

We ordered 2 Delmonico steaks to go as we were staying at the Cobtree cabins - the steaks were way charbroiled on the outside almost crispy! The sauteed vegetables way to greasy to enjoy and with 2 small side salads to go $60! Really disappointed after all the great reviews I based my decision to go there on. More

This place deserves more than the highest circle rating of five. One of the best dining experiences I have ever experienced. The prices were very reasonable as well. Do not miss this restaurant if you are nearby......even if you're not nearby. Everything we ordered was out of this world. More

Trip advisor rankings haven't let me down yet. Never been to Geneva before, I selected the Port's Cafe based on the rankings. It turned out to be a great choice and you won't be disappointed. The building is nothing to look at, and if you didn't know the restaurant's reputation you'd likely drive on by. But don't, the food is... More

set a date and GO! you will love it and will most certainly be going back again and again. The food is amazing, it makes the meal an event, an occasion. You are pampered by your wait staff as well as the overall charm of the place. Our server, Tom, was great, knew everything about the specials, offered suggestions and... More

This is a great little place, but go early or late, it gets packed, and you must reserve a table in advance. The food was excellent quality all around, except for a steak special I got which was tough, but the staff immediately took care of it. Very attentive, and overall nice place, we will be back. More

Ports has become one of my favorite restaurants in the world. My daughter attends HWS college and I am so sad she is graduating this year because I will miss our frequent visits to ports. It is the specials menu that is always unique and the chef uses the freshest seasonal products. Every single menu item has been special and... More

Atmosphere - Tops in the area. Food - Absolutely cannot go wrong with any of their multiple daily specials. Time and time again the kitchen staff wows us with their entrees. Service - Extremely knowledgeable and experienced staff, eager to help you pick out the perfect dish. Drinks - Great local selection of wines and beer. However, liquor libations are... More
