Geneva has a well-deserved reputation for its restaurant scene: exceptional, nationally recognized fine dining and innovative “farm to table” establishments, campus and neighborhood favorites, international cuisines, and a fine selection of bars and grills serving local beers and wines in a convivial atmosphere. Geneva’s Italian heritage is evident, as well as the bounty of its local farms and fields, wineries and breweries. Linden Street and its surrounds host a wealth of establishments within walking distance of The Smith and hotels, or wander a little further afield in the city and its surrounds. The following is a selection of the possibilities.
