Chef-driven, wine-list-considered, view-when-the-light-drops. Reservations recommended at all of them; required at three.
The Geneva Inn's dining room since 1990, panoramic lake views from a room built for a wine list and a slow dinner rather than a boat-day lunch. Sunday brunch and a genuine wine cellar set it apart from the marina-adjacent crowd; reserve ahead for a table with the view rather than the bar.
Lake Geneva's only combined winery and distillery, on Sheridan Springs Road — wine and spirits made on-site, a patio with live music Friday and Saturday evenings, and a gift shop for the drive-home bottle. Closed midweek in the off-season; check the current schedule before making the trip out from downtown.
