The Patten House - Geneva

Very beautiful setting and atmosphere! Wonderful outside seated area! We had USDA prime burgers, salmon salad, black beaned chicken wrap! The food is awesome ! The service is great! Very friendly staff! It’s highly recommended!!!

A restaurant with a good location/ambiance in geneva downtown. The food looked more delicious than it was... and the entrees were seriously overpriced. I paid less for better cuisine at RPM on the river in downtown Chicago. Add plating charges and a tacked on credit card surcharge, I am pretty certain that I will not come back to this joint....for ho-hum grub.

I would like to thank one of the ladies who did everything possible to give us a table. I recognize that it was our mistake not to have made a previous reservation for 9 people for Mother's Day. The service was excellent, and the food was also exceptional.

Honestly pretty bummed about my experience. My family decided to take a long morning walk on the river for Mother’s Day today since I work tomorrow, so naturally we were in comfy clothes. We decided to eat at Patten House. We felt we may be underdressed but checked and there is no dress code listed anywhere. We were treated like a nuisance and met with judgment from the second we stepped foot in the door. Additionally, the menu prices were listed as lower than they appeared on the check. When I brought this to their attention, they made us feel like we were the problem and not the fact that they are lying and false advertising. Their food was decent but overall I don’t feel it is worth the cost (especially considering everything actually cost even more than it was listed). They also made no comment to us and just started moving all the tables right around us. We were the only table in that room and we were made extremely uncomfortable and like they were anxiously waiting for us to leave so they could seat guests that look more upscale. Major bummer. My money spends the same whether I am in a pantsuit or leggings and a tee. But I guess they don’t believe you are worth good service and humane treatment unless you look rich.

Fantastic date night! This place is so welcoming and charming. The building has history in Geneva so ask about the building. Spacious seating is my favorite so you feel like it just your table in the room. The staff was so cheerful and polite. The drinks are poured to the very top which I like! Grits are out of this world. Parking was easy on the side of the building. The food was delicious and I highly recommend!
