“I grew up in Rochester and Wegman's is one of the few things that I legitimately miss since moving away. There is no other grocery store that can rival it and it appears to have only gotten better since I was a kid. They have vastly expanded the prepared foods, including subs, pizzas, sushi, and so on. A lot of locations even have seating for the cafe area. Prices have definitely gone up a little, but the quality supports it. Staff is always great and the stores are clean.“
“This place is awesome stopped in with my daughter for a game of pool. We are from herkimer ny. Very pleasant place. The other customers the bartender awesome ppl. 9-27-23 3:15pm. They checked ID. And I thought that was awesome as my daughter us early 20s. I'd give 10 star if I “
“The food really is delicious! They have tons of sauces that they bring to the table to try with your meal. Lots of gluten free options as well! The bar area is really nice, but there's not much ambiance in the dining area. I did have the worst margarita of my life here. Tasted like bad college memories. Would come back for the food over and over again though.“
“Terrific dinner experience traveling through Rochester! Our server, Jenny was amazing! Friendly, efficient and fun. Every meal came out quick and hot. Food was delicious. Would highly recommend this place and will be back. Would give this rating a 5 star but it doesn’t let me!“
“This place deserves five stars hands down. Dogtown was such an amazing fun experience especially for three people visiting New York. Even if you're a local or you're from out of town the dog plates did not disappoint so much great food the home style fries were just crisp and hot and fresh this place was delicious beyond belief.Parking: Just easy to park I was grateful for that cuz a lot of places in the downtown area you got to pay.Kid-friendliness: There wasn't really a lot for my kid to do but the staff and the cooks did not care that my son was a turkey so that made a place more enjoyable.“
“Im gluten and dairy free and this has been a god send. There are so many delicious options that I havent been able to try everything but I want to! The smoothies are some of my favorite with no added sugar which is amazing! Can't recommend it enough“
“Our first time here and we would definitely go back. There was so much on the menu we wanted to try. We ended up getting a bunch of small plates, all of which were excellent. My favorite, though, was the octopus. It was outstanding. The service was excellent as well.“
“Strangebird is a beautiful space and was bursting with energy when I stopped in for dinner. The decor reminded me of NYC or San Francisco, inspired design. The beers on tap are not your ordinary IPAs although they have a few of those. Sours, Belgians, and other interesting brews. I took home Mount Hope which is a lager with Pinot Noir grapes. I enjoyed the beers I tried, it pays to experiment. The food for me was decent, I opted for the smash-burger, which was serviceable, but the pizza looks like a good option. I would return to Strangebird. Outstanding service at the bar.“
“Absolutely great. From the people, to the design, to the food; of course.We had not been before last night which was a shame as I guess we stick to our normal places too much. But from the moment we walked in, every staff member was a absolute delight.Scott our waiter was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. We started with the REDD Wings. They are Thai Chili coated with sesame seeds and spring onions. They were perfectly cooked with an amazing crunch. We couldn't have been more happy with the perfect balance of sweet and heat, and the decadent flavor.Personally I was torn between two specials, and the classic steak on offer on the regular menu.The one special was basically a comfort food; the classic beer battered fish fry, which ultimately Scott recommended since it was a special that is only available during Lent.This choice was amazing. He was right in that it was a basic fish fry, but elevated. The fish was tender and flaky, with a perfect beer battered shell that had a great crunch. The fries were great and handcut with a pillowy softness to them, but the tartar sauce was absolutely killer. And while the fish fry was an absolute stand out on its own; that tartar sauce just pushed it to the stratosphere! Get this if you see it on their menu.My wife got the Wild Fluke with Clams. The presentation of the dish was amazing, with a creamy sauce, tender clams, a flaky fish, and a rice base that absolutely was creamy and delicate holding onto the sauce. She usually sticks to basics, but went off her beaten path, and she was glad she did.For drinks we tried a couple of their specialty ones. My wife had the spicy margarita which was amazingly complex, and not too spicy. But it is a back of the throat spice if that sort of thing bothers you. I had the Negroni which was great as well. I've found you can tell a bartenders skill based on how well blended their Negroni is, and this one was masterfully crafted.Before I get to the deserts, their desert spoons have what seem to be a dent in them. It's supposed to be there. It's a French Sauce/Desert spoon that is supposed to allow the sauce or glaze of a desert enter the spoon without having to tip it too far and lose your bite on the utensil.Also, you may notice a small fork with a thick tine on it. That's a desert/pastry fork. The thicker tine is meant to replace you having to use a knife to cut the cake or pastry. The more you know.For desert was the decadent chocolate cake for my wife. It was rich and creamy with a scoop of ice cream. Great stuff. I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was fantastic as well, with the same requisite scoop of ice cream.So, after all that, just to once again say, this restaurant and it's food and people are well worth the visit. If you haven't been due to sticking with your normal haunts, you owe it to yourself to try it. Or, if you just only do a nice yearly sit down for a special occasion, make it here. After my friends and family all raving about REDD, I just wish my wife and I had tried it sooner.“
“We visited the restaurant with our daughter and 4 friends for Easter Brunch. The location, food and service were terrific. Service was great (always had someone at the table before our water or lattes were done), the food was worth its cost (portions were large and we all had leftovers for later in the day). Will definitely be back next time visiting our daughter in Rochester.“
“As a chef for a fine dining restaurant, I give Edibles Restaurant a 10/10. I have not been able to eat anywhere since before March 2022 since that was the last time I was off from work to go out for dinner. I am so thrilled that I was recommended this fine establishment with the most down to earth, kind, and most hospitable team members. I very much enjoyed the lobster ravioli and my friend enjoyed the flank steak. Thank you for this amazing experience and I look forward coming again and recommend all to check this place out!“
“The Genesee Brew House is a true gem,nestled in the High Falls District. You know the food is great,as the restaurant is always busy and fun. I love the full menu,including delicious appetizers,just for starters. I’ve never been disappointed,in my experiences there!! A quick tip for Rochester style trash plate aficionados…..their plate is beyond perfect and it will leave you full. Down stairs,you will browse through tons of Genesee tee shirts,hoodies,and gifts! A+“
“Loved this authentic diner on our short visit to Rochester. It's truly a hidden gem. Loved the atmosphere. The staff was very friendly. The food was exceptional. We tried their breakfast menu. We loved everything. The one thing we weren't too fond of was the hollandaise sauce on the Salmon Benedict. It wasn't as silky as it should've been. Other than that, everything else was on point. Our favorite was the nutella stuffed french toast. The french toast was warm while the fruits n whipped cream were cold. It is the perfect breakfast!“
“Some of the most amazing comfort food in Rochester. It’s restaurant quality food, but it tastes like it’s homemade with love at the same time. The owner is also supportive of human rights movements, so it’s a wholesome business all around!“
“This was our first time here. The staff were quick to seat us and very friendly. The food was great! Best clam chowder I have ever had. We like finding small mom and pop places to eat. This is one we will definitely come back. Also the price was really good.“
“Nice little restaurant. I didn't think there was anything stand out about it. I've been here few times, it's close to work and convenient. I usually get the Reuben and Arnold Palmer. It's got robot, that's kind of neat.“
“Food is really good and service is also greatThe fries have great seasoningThe only complaint I have is the chairs inside while light weight and easy to move are super uncomfortable and if you are 50-60 pounds overweight are a tad tight and the metal is not very comfortable at all and hurt to sit inI’m still giving a 5 star review because the food is what is important and I will eat here again“
“Love everything about it. Except that it is kind of difficult to find the price of goods in the refrigerator section ? ?. No price tag on the goods or on side or below the goods. So it's difficult to shop, when you don't know how much your paying for??? I only found out that the English claim chowder soup was $10.49 after purchase and have to ask for the receipts ? ? ?. I got to say that all food is delicious but on higher end prices.“
“We are always so welcomed and feel at home when we come here. This is our place to go after a long days work. The food is always solid. Amazing beer selection.. and best of all amazing service. Our Bartender Julie is so personable and real. We had the French dip tonight and it was amazing!! Wings great as always!!“
“Girlfriend and I went to Rooney’s last night for Valentine’s Day. Every thing we ordered was cooked perfectly and delicious. We had the plantain crusted shrimp with mango salsa, salads, and beef tenderloins with potatoes and brussel sprouts. Excellent service. Can’t wait to go back!“
“Founders Café is a Rochester treasure. AMAZING food - everything on the menu is great, even if I tend to get the same thing most visits because I love their salads so much. But everything else - quiche, sandwiches, baked goods - are all phenomenal. Very friendly service and we're definitely always made to feel at home. Love it here.“
“My friend and I went there for dessert and a beverage. The selection was outstanding. I ordered the Viennese Mirangue Torte, it was delicious. My friend has the raspberry cheesecake, she said it too was delicious. The service & attention from the waitress was excellent. We are planning on going again.“
“Wow! It had great reviews so we decided to try. It was Friday Fish Fry. Halibut. This was some incredible fried halibut. One HUGE pc....very fresh too! I chose fries & onion rings. They were great too. My son had a burger, sweet potato fries, and a shake. He destroyed his food too! The sweet potato fries were probably the best I've ever tasted.“
“Service was excellent. The server was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the food and offerings. The atmosphere was also was lovely. The building was very old and quaint. Beautifully decorated. I you need accessible entrance I would check. My friend struggled with the old and uneven stairs, but there was just a couple at the door and one off the porch. Vegetarian friendly. I had the cauliflower toast which was quite good and plenty for 2 to share for an appetizer. Black bean burger for the main entree was delicious and made there. I had crème brûlée for dessert, it was a little runny but flavorful. A nice dinner.“
“No matter the season, always a great atmosphere either inside or outside. Had Sunday "brunch" with a couple of pints. The salty breakfast pizza was perfect for two. The beer cheese adds great flavor to it. IBC is becoming one of my favorite venues!“
“Love this place. Wings and burgers are exceptional. In fact, wings are some of the best in the area. Haven’t tried the pizza yet but everyone loves it. Reasonable prices. Service is top notch. Great atmosphere. Fun people. A good place to watch the game.and have a few drinks.“
“The food here is really good! They have a limited menu, which allows their food to be delicious. They even have a vegetarian option, which I feel like you don't often see on limited menus. Our server was very attentive and checked on us several times without being over the top. The inside of the restaurant is nice and quiet...easy to have a conversation.“
“The meal was excellent, the service was wonderful. The staff was very efficient and friendly. I enjoyed hearing the owner come out and describe how the meal was prepared. Overall an exceptional and enjoyable dining experience. A nice atmosphere.“
“World class beers & excellent food. The staff is well versed in the product, and the hand-made bar and tables are gorgeous.2024 Update. It's only gotten better.Dietary restrictions: Good options for vegetarian and vegan.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible“
“First time for us and we enjoyed it very much. My wife enjoyed the crab cake Benedicts and I the burger. My only complaint was the tomatoes were frozen and the fries sat for a bit and were cold and flacid. Looked like a great selection of Beer and other drinks. We will definely be regulars here. The waiter was great as “
“I’ve had a lot of fried chicken in my day from all over the USA. However, I gotta say Chris and the coop take the leg. We tried the wings, a chicken breast platter, and the broccoli cheddar soup. My fiancé says this is the best broccoli cheddar she’s ever had. I have to agree. The seasoning and homemade love is real. Homemade sauces, Mac n cheese, cornbread… the list goes on. My wings didn’t even need sauce- light, airy, and crispy. You won’t be disappointed. Pay them a visit!!!“
“Donnelly's is a classic Irish pub - friendly but low key, you can sit at the bar and chat or snag a table in the corner for privacy. The beer selection is excellent with a good rotation, and the food is also very good. This is my go-to place in Fairport!“
“First, the food took its sweet time getting to us and the meal timing was off. My guest received their meal 13 minutes prior to mine. The food is absolutely delicious and the service/hostess/waitress were extremely nice. I love the Lost Meatball Ragu pasta dish but it’s a bit pricey at $22.00. All in all, a great experience. Perhaps they can tune things up a bit and work on those price-points. 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“It was apparent that the new owner Vickie wants to change the whole vibe and not for the better. She could care less about accomadting you with options & if you have any food allergies. I do not recommend Nosh, not the same restaurant and feel its a turn for the worst. One out of the four meals one was acceptable we had 12/14/2023.The waitress very sweet but felt she was as frustrated as we were. Vickie the owner made no effort to accommodate us and was almost rude.I will pass this along, is a small coummiity in Rochester. Any postive reviews you read are prior to Vickie taking over restuarant.“
“This place is awesome, fast, affordable especially with a family of 5 and the food is delicious. The only thing I question is the kids meal comes with free ice cream if they're good. Both times we went we had to ask for it. The scoops of ice cream as a dessert are expensive so I don't know if they're trying to save on cost. It'd be nice to be asked if they want it. Regardless of that we'll be regular weekend customers ?❤️ I had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. They were super tasty!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu options“
“My husband and I came here for the first time this past weekend. We were immediately seated after confirming our reservation, and our server (I wish we got his name/remembered!) was amazing!! He was very good about telling us where everything was sourced from, and he was also very convincing about how good the food they served was. I was interested in the Amish Chicken but was skeptical since I had no idea what a cream sherry was. When I asked him about it, he answered that it was rich in flavor and that he really enjoyed it. He must have still sensed my hesitancy and said, "Would you like to try some?", which I was so surprised about! He brought me over a small bowl with the cream sherry, and it was really good (savory with slight tartness to it). Everything we ordered was amazing, but it was his service that really made our experience so wonderful - thank you SO much!! We will definitely be back again!“
“Hands down BEST diner we have ever been to! We frequent the area from out of town for doctor visits and it’s always so busy…telling us it’s popular! We finally decided to give them a try! So glad we did!! Well kept-stylish exterior, absolutely beautiful interior that is so clean you’d think it was just built! Cleanest bathrooms Ive ever seen in any public place! The staff is fast, friendly and attentive. Food is absolutely amazing!! This is our new favorite place in Rochester!! Can not say enough wonderful things!“
“The Owl House is one of those places I expected to dislike, but came away pleasantly surprised. It's a converted house, redone in a somewhat arch and artsy manner, with Alice in Wonderland motifs all over the walls and old-style cutlery and furniture to match. The food is over-priced, like all food everywhere nowadays, and the dishes quirky. And yet I've always enjoyed the meals, and had a good time there. Maybe it's the music, or lack thereof. No overpowering rap, throbbing techno, or wall-to-wall Superbowl. Just a nice quiet attractive place to sit, thoughtfully prepared food, and pleasant and unobstrusive service. The last meal I had was some intricate sampling of differently seasoned potatoes, but each one was just delightful, and the atmosphere was just subliminal enough that I could delight in my date too. I've never had a bad time or a bad meal here--elsewhere, for sure, but not here. I'll be coming back, I'm sure.“
“Great food! Great music! The sound was on point! This little venue is so intimate. It just invites people in to have nothing but a good time. This thing you might be small but the bands they bring in are not! I recommend this place highly if you're looking to have a good time with some good music and some good people!“
“My wife and I had a wonderful night out at this establishment. Food will definitely keep us coming back. As well as the great waitress and manager Angelina who were all very welcoming & made sure we had all we needed throughout our meal.“
“Fantastic!Cocktails, food, service and atmosphere are perfect. I highly recommend the deviled eggs as appetizers. My friend had the salmon and ate every last bite. I had the burger and cleaned my plate. It's a little pricey, but worth it. Also easy parking if their lot is full there is another lot right next door. Make reservations and enjoy!“
“Double date night! Wedge salad was excellent. A little heavy on the crumbled blue cheese and creamy blue. My boyfriend had the house salad to start and an iced tea. Split a funghi pizza with double chicken Vanilla crème brûlée to top off the night with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I also had the basil martini. I don't typically drink. I wanted to try something new. It was phenomenal. Our friends had the Risotto and Chicken Marsala. A few glasses of wine later and they had a great time and meal. The service was prompt. It was a busy Saturday night around 7pm. We will be back soon for another yummy dinner! No pictures this time around. We were enjoying time with our friends.“
“The staff were friendly and helpful. I ate before I left, but the food others were getting looked and smelled delicious. They let my cousins put on a birthday bash for my cousin who passed away and all word his shirts to support him. Will return.“
“I was in town for business and we went here for dinner. What can I say amazing. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect. And the service was great. Keep up the great work. I look forward to coming back when I’m back in town. Thanks for a great evening.“
“Finally, some place that really does know how to make a veggie sub. When I first opened up the container I thought they accidentally gave me a Philly sandwich. Normally when I asked for a veggie sub someplace, I get like three pieces of lettuce one and a half slice of tomato and a sprinkling of onion. Usually nothing much but bread. Nobody knows how to make them. But you guys do... it was outstanding. Very nice service“
“Wow. I’d read about the garbage plate, and on a recent trip to Rochester, decided I had to try it out. I’ll say that it’s a little difficult to find the restaurant. The signage looks like it is a few decades out of date, and you wonder if there’s anything in the building. The building is also kind of falling apart. You’d never know that a veritable goldmine of culinary delight is hiding behind the crumbling brick. Go around the back and enter in the glass door that is unlabeled. The staff was very eager to explain the various garbage plates. It’s not fancy, but it’s great. I loved everything about my dining experience at Nick Tahou Hots. Food was wonderful and served within five minutes of ordering. I’d give it six stars if it were allowed.“
“I give this place 5 stars not because it is very upscale, but the food is always hot, exactly as ordered, tasty, and the customer service is great. I've been 3x so far, and have added this place to my list of go to breakfast/brunch spots. Every time I've gone the crowd has been middle and upper aged, of all demographics, and pleasant. I will definitely be back, and recommend it to tjose who prefer good food and qaulity customer service. I'll also add, I took my 4 yr old with me on my second visit, and all staff were very pleasant with her even after she knocked a cup of tea over. This may seem a small deal to some, but how you're treated, especially with children, tells a lot about a business.“
“Michael's Valley Grill is a warm, welcoming bar/restaurant with a nice ambience, which is important to people like me, who appreciate subtle lighting over brightly lit rooms. The current owner and staff are friendly and attentive, professional but not stuffy. There are some booths in the dining area that are somewhat private, and tables with white table cloths that feel elegant but not overly fancy. Or, one can choose to sit at a table in the bar area. Tonight we chose to dine at the cozy bar. There are black board specials but honestly, the regular menu is diverse and with plenty to choose from. Today I had panko breaded chicken Romano with mozzarella and tomato sauce over penne and it was wonderful. Everything is good there. You leave feeling comfortably pampered after having had a unique and special dining experience.“
“We've been hearing great things about CRISP Rochester and it did not disappoint. Despite being a little busy, they handled us with ease and a smile. Food was creative and tasty. There are several options for both vegetarians and vegans. What's really nice is that these offerings aren't an afterthought, rather they are creative options even an omnivore like me can enjoy (my spouse is vegetarian/pescatarian). The pimento cheese appetizer was fantastic. As good as I've had when traveling the Deep South. Unfortunately they were out of the Shrimp & Grits entree we wanted to try, but what we ordered was just fantastic. Our only comments are the "for the table" section's items are more single serving sized than true sharing portions. Still amazing, though we might have ordered more in advance if we'd known. Finally, there was a nice selection of mocktails as well as traditional cocktails. Like the comment about vegan/vegetarian options being creative, it's nice to see creative mocktails instead of just virgin versions of the same tired drinks. We will definitely return. The patio was lovely and the food great.“
“Vegetarian options: They have vegetables and salads. Lots of bread and potatoes.Dietary restrictions: You can ask for cheese and dairy to be withheld, amongst other things... They are very accommodating!Parking: Huge lot in Country Club plaza, Has a Wegmans and still has tons of empty spots.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. There is a ramp at the curb and door is wide.“
