    Love the Vibe here. Great service. Great energy. Super chill tunes that are great for listening but also having dinner with someone. Food is fine, not spectacular.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Geist and would recommend going here! We visited in January, while the holiday decorations were still up. It was stunning! The staff was welcoming and engaging. My husband cracked a few jokes and they played along, making us laugh right back. The food was delicious— we started with the scallops which were cooked perfectly. I got the sea bass and my husband got the rigatoni. We liked both our entrees. The only issue was that there was a 30+ min wait between our appetizer and entrees. The restaurant requires you to order your entire meal at once. We aren’t sure if this is the typical pacing, or if something happened. We still had a good experience and would come back!

    We went to Geist for my daughters birthday. We were so pleased to see that their Christmas decorations were up until the end of January, and they were so beautiful! The team did a fantastic job decorating and making the restaurant feel cozy and inviting. The entire staff was incredible, and we felt so taken care of. The food was phenomenal, especially the pork chops and the blackberry tarte! We will definitely be back.

    Outstanding display of holiday decor accompanied by 3 world class dishes or duck, beef tenderloin and Risotto. The duck was tops and one of the best duck dishes I’ve eaten in quite some time. Well done, Geist!
