Niche began its story ten years ago when the historic post office in picturesque downtown Geneva was transformed into a space to bring the community a new source of culinary enlightenment. The response to our quest was well received and encouraged the evolving staff to continually strive for perfection. Delving farther into the traditions of the Earth’s diverse cultures, our goal is to balance the exotic with the familiar. Global diversification of ideas and practices introduces guests to a whole new experience each time they dine with us.  An accompaniment to our rotating menu ranging from Small Plates to well orchestrated Entrees is an impressive list of carefully selected beer, wine, and spirits.

    Jeffery was great!! We've eaten here a number of times and Niche never fails to impress! We even just stop by the bar and have the appetizers which are just as good as the entrees.

    Unfathomable that it has taken me ten years to dine at Niche. Food was outstanding, drinks were a mixed bag of reasonable to kooky . . . . $11 for a Tito's martini and only $9 for Duvel were relative bargains, versus $22 per glass for Laurent-Perrier Brut ($40/bottle retail). I guess that isn't that ridiculous. Either way, the experience, other than the pricey, semi-underwhelming soup, was top notch. Service was excellent. Cheese plate was a bang up starter. Salad of purple kale was delicious. Soup, as mentioned, a bit underwhelming for the $9.50 price. Scallops perfectly done though the couscous they were perched upon was a tad soft. Pork tenderloin was properly cooked and had enjoyably smoky accompaniments. Cotton candy and a Blanton's bourbon were a more than fun way to wrap up the night. Will definitely return as soon as humanly possible.

    This restaurant delivers such a personal experience! Very intimate feeling. As a diner with celiac disease I always feel safe eating here and the kitchen is outstanding.

    Not a fan of restaurants where you sit on top of other people and hear their entire conversation. I also had to send a drink back to the bar because it was awful. Food was meh... way overpriced. Limited menu. Overall, won't be returning and wouldn't recommend.

    A wonderful experience; crowd is diverse enough to make anyone feel comfortable, jeans to suit and tie all are welcome. Food prices are fair; however, drinks and wine are a little escalated. Try it you won't be disappointed.

    Brand new waitress, didn’t know the menu and was super slow. Food was ok. I asked for my steak butterflied and super well done, minus the ciopollini onions. For $51 it didn’t even come close. On a busy Saturday night I wasn’t going to send it back. Instead I had it boxed to take home. First time taking my daughter there and it was a big disappointment, I was almost embarrassed after talking it up to her.

    Place is fantastic and it always is. Top notch. We had Jeffrey as our waiter tonight and he killed it. Kudos to the entire staff there at Niche.
