“Not only is the coffee always perfect but the staff at this Tim's is the friendliest ive seen, and I have been to many Tims. I work close by so often eat both breakfast and lunch here. I love the ice cap and breakfast sandwiches, but I go here mostly because customers are treated so well.”

A server brought us a plate of BBQ samples to try. Everything was good. On-street parking available plus a nearby parking ramp (for a fee). The place was noisy but had a great vibe.”

“We are from out of town but visit ROC frequently because our son plays on the Jr. Amerks Juniors/NAHL team. He and some teammates discovered this place and go there for lunch literally every day they have home games. This place is the best-family owned and operated, great food great prices, great service! Tiramisu is my favorite thing in the world and Mamma G’s tiramisu is the best I have ever had. Carlo is the bomb!”

“There’s a reason why this place is busy ALL the time. The burgers and fries are made fresh and way better quality than fast food. Even the milkshakes are made with real ice cream and they even give you your bang for your buck. Definitely worth it!”

“Best Ethiopian food in WNY! Top tier customer service!”

“Shawarma on Mt. Read in Greece has delicious food!”

“We drive 45 minutes for dinner every couple of weeks or as often as we can and it’s always worth it. There’s nothing bad on the menu. The wings are our favorite, the chicken salad is my 7 year old daughter’s go to. the subs, the cheeseburger plates, the pizza, all the condiments and sauces-just try it all. Do not forget the chocolate chip cookies either!”

“10/10! I was blown away. Absolutely hands down one of Rochester’s best restaurants. Friendly and quick staff and the food… 🤤 oh the food. The food was DELICIOUS! Cooked to perfection, and as 2 chefs on a date who are highly critical of others cooking, we were BOTH impressed. Atmosphere was warm and inviting, and presentation was impeccable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I took some pics & vids and have a smaller social media of 22K that i plan on directing to go to this extremely good restaurant if they are in the Rochester area. The cocktails are presented with class and flare as well. If you’re looking for that perfect place for a romantic date night dinner, business meeting or just a foodie… this is a MUST-GO! Thanks to the amazing chef who was so accommodating! We will definitely be back!”

“We stopped in for a mid week lunch, were seated quickly, and had a great meal. My drink was addictive, the food was very tasty, and the service was average. We were very happy with our choice, and will be back for sure.”

“We decided to check out Shell for our anniversary dinner and it was just amazing. The atmosphere was quiet, dimly lit and classy. Great choice for a date night! We decided to make reservations at the bar due to the availability of seating in the main dining room. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chef and his staff do their magic. They were friendly and professional yet fun too!

Our server Diana M was wonderful. She was so professional, polite, knowledgeable and attentive. She made us feel special and taken care of from the minute we sat down. She started by serving a complimentary Amuse Bouche to get started which was so unique and delicious. We then enjoyed some delicious oysters and great wine( wine list has some great offerings) We then chose the fish of the day which was seasoned grilled Swordfish with roasted zucchini and house made pickled roasted potatoes all sitting on a light and delicious saffron sauce - omg delicious! We can’t wait to go back to try some of the other delicious looking entrees, as well as the “Chefs 7 Course Tasting Menu” which was a great assortment of their menu options and very reasonably priced. The selections all sounded and looked amazing.

We would highly recommend Shell not only for the delicious food but for the incredible service and beautiful atmosphere. They don’t have a huge menu but they focus on making what they do offer the most delicious food you’ll have ! Go check them out for a special experience.”

“The food was excellent. Our fish was cooked correctly and did not taste fishy. My husband had the fish fry and I had the Cajun broiled haddock, also definitely get the fresh cut fries. The service was great, from hostess to waitresses to busier. The team work is evident, even (what I am assuming was the owner or general manager) helped out by delivering food, drinks and even clearing tables. Go check them out.”

“This place is absolutely heaven!! Everything was fresh!! The owner was really nice and she even threw in a lil treat for my kids!! We definitely will be returning!!”

“Awesome beer, awesome food, and a great atmosphere and friendly staff”

“Fresh and delicious! Looking forward to our next visit 🍣”

“When we first moved to the area in January, we arrived to an apartment with a heater that wasn't working. It was the middle of a blizzard and we needed somewhere to weather out the storm a bit before heading to a hotel for a night. Shiki was there for us.

When the woman serving us heard that we were without heat or power in the middle of the blizzard, she offered to let us stay in the restaurant as long as we needed -- even long after close until they were ready to head home.

When we had our food, the ramen was the perfect way to thaw us out and make us feel right at home and safe in a community which cares about its people. We've since come back for gyoza, katsu, and sushi and all of them have been incredible.

The food? Amazing. The service? Incredible. Shiki has earned a lifelong fan and customer. I love them.”

“the kindest people and the food is incredible.... the coffee was so good and tasty...we felt relaxed and like we were in another land...”
