Fiora’s

With great outdoor seating, a great wine list and a great view, Fiora’s was perfect for my wife and I’s recent date night. I’m always a sucker for a good lobster bisque, esp ones that are authentic like this one. I enjoyed the halibut and my wife thought the forbidden scallops were unbelievably good.
great time.

I loved it! The atmosphere was amazing! We sat outside at the bar and had a bottle of wine and a cheese tray. They have a live band outside Tuesday — Friday. The band was great, playing soft tunes from the past — not too loud, we could still have a conversation. Did I mention the wine was half price on Wednesdays? The service was wonderful, from the greeters to the bartenders. Definitely the place to be in Geneva in the summer!

Menu is fairly simple, but dishes are prepared well. Delicious. Patio was beautiful and comfortable. Great live music, especially for mid-​week, however, a bit loud. Service was ok — I expected better. Nice place for special occasion.

We requested a table in the sun room to celebrate our anniversary. We were told it wouldn’t be a problem. Upon arrival, we were told our table was almost ready. Suddenly, the man in front of us started raising a huge fuss that they didn’t have his reservation. All attention was focused on him and we had to wait while they accommodated him. After several minutes, we were seated in a small, cramped room with a nominal view. Very disappointing. That man and his wife were given our table. The food was good but I will not return. Poor customer service… unless you make a scene.

My wife and I popped in here for an impromptu date night. We both ended up picking entrée’s from their specials menu. She got a grilled halibut and I picked up a BBQ pork dish. Both were well done and the ambiance felt like a date night atmosphere.
I would agree with other posts I’ve read that the price point is a bit high but when you take into account the neighborhood the restaurant is in, you’re kind of paying just for the location.

What a wonderful restaurant. We took my mom there this past Saturday for an early Mother’s Day. The restaurant is beautiful. Our server was amazing. He was very personable, had great recommendations. We got the calamari and it was tender and tasty. Probably the best I have ever had. Got the filet and it was done perfectly. The bananas foster bread pudding is worth every calorie. Overall it was a great dining experience, and i can’t wait to go back. I just wish the restaurant was open on Sundays!

Swung in here for lunch. Ate on the patio. Good food. Nice portions. Staff didn’t rush us at all. Got crab cakes, Cobb salad, and chicken caprese panini (recommended!!!). Will be back.

Such a great experience from the wine to the live music to the incredible service! It was a night to remember. I will definitely be back!

There’s absolutely nothing to fault with this place. Service was spot on and food was pretty amazing. Had the lobster bisque (5 stars), the prawn and mushroom risotto (I loved it but my mother in law thought it was a tad too salty) and Thai calamari (while I loved this, the only thing Thai about it was that it as drowned in what tasted like bottled sweet chilli sauce)
Overall a definite recommendation to visit

I don’t even know where to start! My boyfriend and I came here last night for Valentine’s Day and wow! We started with the baked brie appetizer which was phenomenal. He had some kind of pork entrée (I don’t eat meat), and I had 3 sides which were all amazing. —asparagus, squash risotto, mashed potatoes—
Everything was so flavorful and fresh! I forgot to mention that their live music was very enjoyable, and I was given a red rose when we walked in.
We will definitely be coming back. This place is adorable, food is great, and the live music was a nice touch.

The service has always been an A+++! The food is good, pricey but good. I love coming here on Wednesdays for ½ price bottles of wine (which you can take with you if you don’t finish). The atmosphere inside is very charming. Their outdoor patio is my favorite in Geneva!

Love this spot. I try to get here everytim I’m in Geneva. It’s cozy in the winter time and lovely to sit outside in warmer weather. Lindsey is an excellent server.

Good wines, good food, great ambiance. Prices are higher than some but quality is as well. Servers (some) could use improvement, their attentiveness and professionalism doesn’t align with the atmosphere. Looking forward to trying patio.

I love the patio at Fiora’s. If you’re looking for a beautiful outdoor patio to drink a bottle of wine and enjoy a few appetizers, and maybe listen to some music, this is the place to go. The building itself if very nice; it’s tastefully decorated and the location is terrific.
The food is good, but for the price it should be phenomenal, and it’s just not that special. The last two times we went for dinner our server was very busy, and we had long waits between visits.
I’ll be back in the summer for lunch or appetizers on the patio, but we’re not returning for dinner.

Went here with my wife for our first wedding anniversary. The location is great, and the building inside and out is very nice. Overall the staff that greeted us were nice, but initially we had to play some musical chairs. We had a reservation and were placed in the wine cellar by the fireplace, but ended up getting sat first upstairs, then downstairs and away from the fireplace. Then when we asked a server if we could move to the seats by the fireplace, someone else proceeded to tell us «NOOO!» And then 5 minutes later that same person said that, yes, we could move, as that was actually reserved for us.
Food was good, as good as most restaurants, but much more expensive than similar quality/​service level places. Drinks were reasonably priced, and my wife’s sangria was great. Wait staff could have been more attentive throughout the meal, something I would expect at $ 30+ a plate, but otherwise it was a good meal.

We went there for lunch on Saturday and it was a train wreck. The server, who had quite an attitude, did not even want to explain items on the menu. Great location, wonderfull venue. Food was so so at best but the service was the key reason will never be back. too many other good options on 3^rd Street.

I’m a huge fan of downtown Geneva. I’ve always walked past this restaurant, but never really considered eating there. It almost looked kind of intimidating. (I don’t know why, but ha for me just a tad.) My mom and I decided to check it out for lunch and we were not disappointed! Our waiter was very prompt and thorough with our order. The food was great! I would definitely recommend this place for lunch. I’ll have to drop by for dinner one of these days.

Geneva has some of the best restaurants in Illinois yet Fiora’s has been named #1 for several years in a row. My husband and I tried it when we moved to the area this past summer, I was about 10 months pregnant at the time and everything always seemed to taste pretty good! However I remember thinking that my meal of crab cakes was good but not fantastic given the restaurant’s popularity.
This weekend we dined here with friends and again, this wasn’t a meal memorable enough to make me return especially because of the price. I ordered scallops over a sweet potato, kale & bacon hash. Food arrived cold, and the scallops were a little fishy tasting and didn’t seem to be seasoned well. The hash was good but even the sweet potatoes were cooked oddly in my opinion — they seemed steamed and mushy when I believe a hash is pan seared and therefore should have left the potatoes caramelized and crispy.
Also, my second glass of wine arrived and definitely seemed like it had been poured from a bottle that had been open a little too long. The waitress immediately replaced it so no complaints on service. In fact, I hate to give three stars when the waitress was among the best we have ever had! She was kind and professional, yet also playful with our group, and never missed a beat.
I’m really not sure if I will be back for dinner, but for a (fresh) glass of wine and their cheese course, definitely, especially since the restaurant is gorgeous and has a fabulous outdoor patio for the summer.

I am not good at writing reviews and don’t write many as I can be a bit snobby and most places only rate a 2 or 3 by my scale. I, however, felt compelled to write this one up.
My wife and I have eaten here several times before and have always had impeccable service. Ask for James or Leroy. They won’t do you wrong! We had New Year’s Eve reservations. Being New Years and a 2 hour time limit on seating we both did not expect too much. Boy, are we glad we were wrong! How a place that busy with that many orders coming in can turn food out that good and that well timed is impressive in itself.
They must have been full, as they sat us in the wine cellar. There were four tables in the room and a cozy fire in a fireplace to warm up the usually chilly room. Very nice touch!
We each had an appetizer and an entrée. Each of us had to rate each item as a 5. We had a crab cake and the lobster bisque for our appetizers. OMG, the flavor and seasoning of each was perfect. The bisque was rich, creamy and loads of lobster. The bisque was so smooth and delightful, the only chunks were the generous portions of lobster in every bite. We both could have had that alone for dinner and been happy. The crab cake was another pleasant surprise. We kind of expected the standard over mayonnaisey (is that even a word) fried clump with your poor bottled type Bearnaise. Uh, NO! this too was perfectly seasoned, filled with tons of sweet crab and cooked perfectly. The Bearnaise was fresh, creamy, perfectly balanced with tarragon and acid. It was truly wonderful.
My wife ordered the salmon and I the scallops for our entrees. My wife can be a true snob when it comes to salmon, yet she continues to order it at many places, only to be disappointed, but always hoping for that once in a while surprise. Well, this evening was that surprise that made her extremely happy. Cooked to perfection, nicely seasoned and served over a bed of delightful couscous and asparagus. She was thoroughly impressed. I have been married to her for 23 years. I know how hard she is to impress. ;) The couscous and asparagus, both prepared with just the right amount of crunch and texture, really highlighted the salmon. Nice job!
My scallops were sweet, huge, nicely sauteed with a hint of crust on the outside and smooth and velvety throughout. This was served over a bed of sauteed kale with just the right amount of lemon and garlic as to highlight the sweetness of the scallops. Yep, again, perfect! I seem to be using that word a lot here.
Being the gluttons that we are, we went with a single lobster tail to split between us. Cooked and seasoned to perfection with about the best side of seasoned clarified butter you could ever have, this just complimented our entrees even more. We sat there the entire time, ate each bite slowly and savored each taste. What a great evening.
There are very few restaurants, I find, that are actually good enough to not put anything other than silverware and napkins on the table. Well, tonight, Fiora’s did themselves well. What a fantastic meal!
We will be remembering this one for a long time. Thanx for the memorable evening.

I really enjoyed this place, for it’s atmosphere. It seemed very laid back.
The food was pretty good. I got a Chefs Burger, and I enjoyed it, except for the Guinness aioli. I think that was a bit much. But I love any piece of meat in a pretzel roll with cheese, you almost can’t go wrong with this.
Our server, Nick, was very funny and charming that made my experience even better.
And they had live music outside. It’s a total win package.
It’s a bit pricey here, but well worth it. It’s not an every week kinda place but maybe every month or so.
