The Nines At Livingston

Great food, great outdoor patio. Pierogis to start, fish tacos, ending with key lime pie… All top shelf. Kids meals are a great value, big plates and an ice cream dessert.

I was at an auction in Geneseo and stumbled on the Nines for lunch when I noticed a sign saying outdoor patio open for lunch.
I ordered a Classic Turkey Club, yes I know it sounds simple but everything was wonderfully in harmony because it made my mouth sing (haha trying to express how fresh and great the ingredients were). The turkey was really fresh and cold which means it’s properly stored and not sitting out. The bacon was abundant, crisp and not over done. The wheat bread was dense and sliced thick. To top things off were the best tatter tots I’ve ever had. Our server Carly was quick, attentive, professional and adorable… Definitely an asset to the place, service like this is enough to make me a regular. All in all best meal I’ve had in a while!

5 years of fabulous food with friendly service… they never miss a beat… whether you want a traditional, tapas, or tavern cuisine… excellence is their trademark… a fantastic place for family and friends to gather in a casual and clean operation. Culinary Institute trained chef who’s versatile style appeals to wide range of palates… Homemade dessert that will blow your mind… The Nines is a gem like no other in Geneseo. Whether you’re a local or from out of town… This is the place you’ve searching for… You, your family, and friends will love it. Great outdoor bar and dining too… You owe it to yourself… fabulous food and friendly service… Congratulations you found it!

First, The Nines is a real restaurant on its own, as we found once we started going there, not an extension of the golf club at which it is located. The food is good and the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed. The restaurant entry opens into its pub section with TV’s and pub tables, and the next room has a separate dining section which is quiet and more upscale. We have eaten with our family in the pub and as a couple in the dining room and enjoy both areas.
The compact menu leans toward pub fare but has true entrée options as well. The food all seems to be made on site, not frozen from somewhere else. They update some of the menu periodically, which makes it easy to return for dinner as we have. There is a selection of rich, house-​made desserts which change with the season. The service is friendly and attentive. Parking is easy.

We had my bridal shower here on Sunday. Everything was amazing!

I just had the best meal I’ve had in Livingston County in a long time. I had a perfectly cooked filet mignon, absolutely wonderful parmesan risotto. It was a great dining experience. The wait staff is always terrific at the Nines, and the meal was fantastic! I would recommend to anyone!

The Nines at Livingston has made a great transformation from what it used to be. Having been closed for about a year or so, the entire inside has been renovated. Having a feel of more a moderately upscale restaurant than a public golf course tavern. With 4 separate areas it can cater to many with a classy bar area when you immediately walk in. There is a large dining room with a big plasma tv over the fireplace next to the bar. In the back, there are another 2 additional dining areas that could accommodate larger groups and be closed off. I definitely approve of the renovations and almost forgot that I was in Livingston County for a brief time.
Having just walked in all I could see was locals or «Townies» as I used to call them at the bar. For Geneseo basically being a town overrun by the students, I was shocked to see only one table of younger lads that looked like they just finished a round of golf.
Onto the food, we started off with the half a dozen of the pork wings and the half size of spinach and goat. The pork wings were kinda small compared to my normal chicken wings but they were juicy and full of flavor with the dry rub. The salad had a lot of the toppings that made it another great starter.
For our mains, I went with the waitress’ recommendation of their best seller of fish tacos and my sister had the Harvest (another salad). Fish tacos in Livingston? I know, I was very skeptical at first as well. Having taking the first bite I was pleasantly surprised to have lots of flavor and messing fingers! These definitely made me change my stance on how fish tacos are!
Overall we both enjoyed our meal and will definitely return. Sorry to all the townies, but the secret is out, hit up The Nines for probably the best option of upscale dining in Geneseo!
