“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!”
“Ate here while visiting family in the area. Service was excellent and the food was great. I ordered the Cajun catfish with Harlem potato salad and coleslaw as my choice of sides. 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 went to this wonderful restaurant today for the first time, and it was unbelievably great! The man who waited on us answered all of our questions, the environment is warm and inviting, the service was the best ever, service was great, and we were not hurried in any way. Prices are reasonable and the quantity of food is spot on for hungry people. And of course, don't forget the desserts. There is a whole case of desserts to choose, and they were DELICIOUS. We will definitely go back and go back again and again.”
“Our first time here and we will be back. This was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Thank you for the delicious meal, hospitality and the lovely environment. 🤍”

“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!”
“Pretty good food. Took me a few tries to reheat bc it's frozen, but I got the hang of it. The turkey meatballs are wonderful. Turns out I'm spending less for these meals than I paid at the grocery stores. I only have one issue, the chicken is always shredded and it dries out in the reheating process. Still trying to work that out. Delivery is free & timely. I'll keep buying.”

“Michael and his wife were wonderful to work with and made us the perfect cake for our wedding. My wife and I didn't have a great idea of what we wanted for a wedding cake and they walked us through the whole process, gave us all the options, and designed an amazing and most importantly delicious cake. It was worth every penny and I would highly recommend them for any wedding or special event. We will get another cake from them for our 1 year anniversary for sure! The cats on the cake were our doing :D”
“We had my sister 60th surprise birthday party at BTB. We used the private room they have. Fit 50 of us perfectly. We had several different pizzas, 4 different wings, caeser salad and caprese. Food was great! The staff was wonderful. highly recommend”
“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!”
“I'm so glad that my niece brought my family here for her daughter graduation celebration it was everything that one wants to share with love ones the place, food, it was a awesome experience thank you for your service”

“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.”
“I need to make you aware of a wonderful diamond in the rough on Rochester’s west side. My wife and I visited this quaint Lower Manhattan style eatery with my brother-in-law and his wife. This unassuming place from the outside pleasantly surprises once you enter with its quaint bar area, blacked out ceiling and twin open kitchen stations. First litmus test is the quality of bread with a full complement of spices to prep your own dipping oil. Check! Special of the day, Seared Halibut on a bed of risotto, didn’t disappoint, nor did my samples of homemade Rigatoni à la Bolognese (just like Mom’s Sunday sauce) or the Chicken Milanese! Completed the meal with an ample slice of homemade Ricotta Cheesecake with Berry Compote. The owner checked in with us several times. The table service was perfect. The glass enclosed wine cellar in the middle of the dining area completed an impressive ambience and dining experience. Run don’t walk to this most pleasant gastro treat!”
“Service and food were fantastic. The food was delicious and full of flavor. Every bit of meat was tender and the vegetable spring rolls were light and crispy. Absolutely will be back!!”
“I took my elderly mother here for lunch with my 15 year old because she has been craving Italian and it was close to where my mother lives. We couldn't stop talking about how nice of an atmosphere it was!! There was road and parking lot construction and since we weren't use to the area , we didn't know there was a ramp to help my mother, but every staff member was so courteous and friendly helping my mom and my 15 year old get them both in (while I went to park the car). The excellent customer service didn't stop there......... throughout our meal, water was filled up and they especially made sure my mother was comfortable! We were all also impressed how wonderful the food was! We stopped there on a whim, but you definitely have some new customers!”
“If you’re looking for the best boba tea near RIT, this spot is an absolute must. Obsessed is honestly an understatement ✨ From the moment you walk in, the vibe is everything chic, modern, and so inviting. It’s the perfect place to study, catch up with friends, or just treat yourself. The bubble tea selection is incredible, so many milk tea and fruit tea options! Easily some of the best bubble tea in Rochester NY. And the food? SO good 🔥 which is rare to find at a boba spot. Everything we tried was flavorful, high quality, and looked 🤤 If you’re searching for boba tea in Rochester, or just an all-around great food and drink experience, this place absolutely delivers. Highly recommend checking it out!”

“Roc City Sammich brought a food truck to the port beach for my rehearsal lunch/welcome party before my wedding. I booked them because the manager Joe was sooo friendly, responsive, and helpful right from the first communication. The food was awesome and we got nothing but compliments the entire time. Their staff was quick and organized and everything ran smoothly. They weren’t expecting tips from any of our guests which was unexpectedly generous but they absolutely deserved them. Highly recommend working with Joe and his team if you want a delicious and easy crowd-pleasing event!”
“First time visiting this warehouse today, and honestly, it went better than I expected — especially after reading some of the mixed reviews online.
I used Hammer to get there, and I highly recommend doing the same — it saved me a ton of time and got me exactly where I needed to be. My appointment was at 12:30 PM, but I showed up around 10:30 AM and they were kind enough to take me in early, which I really appreciated.
Quick tip for other drivers: if you're hauling a catload or empty cans, make sure you go around to the back of the warehouse — that's where you need to be. Look for the red sign back there; the yellow sign is for the main entrance. Also, keep an eye out for the low bridge — it's there, so just be aware and you'll be fine.
Overall, it was a smooth visit. The staff was accommodating, and with a little preparation (and the right GPS), you'll have a good experience too. I'd come back again.”
“Although my order was right, staff was friendly and my food tasted decent, that's not was this is about .... I feel like I am eating in a barn… I'm sitting at the furthest table from the kitchen as possible… There looks to be about 12 people working and I think they are ALL talking at the same time… They are definitely using their outdoor voices & it's very distracting… They are yelling to announce that guests are coming in the door, they are yelling, "Welcome to Wendy's!" to greet customers that are walking in, they are yelling names out customers whose orders are ready, they are yelling about taking the trash out because it shouldn't be sitting on the floor, they are yelling out things they need for drive-thru orders, they are yelling about someone needing to check the dining area... I just can't listen to any of this yelling anymore... I'm taking my sandwich to the car where it's quiet & relaxing ! 😳😡”
“Restaff everyone with people who actually cares about their job. when an employee throws their head set on the counter then leans on the register like it's their home, I don't want to eat or give them my hard earned money. Also they can't even get orders right or even know who they made orders for.”
“I had a great experience at the drive-thru today! Choo Choo was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, smiling, polite, and provided exceptional customer service. Her positive attitude really stood out and made going through the drive-thru pleasant.
Employees like Choo Choo are a great reflection of how outstanding customer service at McDonald’s should be. She deserves to be recognized for the way she treats customers and the genuine friendliness she brings to her job. Thank you, Choo Choo, for making my visit a great one! :)”
“Service was phenomenal! Everything is homemade including drinks and is so delicious!”

“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!”
“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.”

“Not only were the employees very kind, the food itself was wonderful for my first visit. We also got one of the chocolate chip vegan cookies and it is EASILY the best cookie I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect to like it so much (I’m not even vegan! It just looks yummy 🤭). Lovely little place with adorable animal photos throughout also. Employee was kind when I asked for an explanation for them. Loved finding out it’s a community board of loved pets alive and those also lost. They stated the community could bring in a photo of their pet to place on the wall. Great to see that small moment of recognizing the community and being involved to create that memorial & funny moments for the animals! Thanks for a great experience. For sure will be back.”
“Best tacos in the city. You'll wait a while for them and you'll smell like them when you leave but it's absolutely worth it. Order ahead if you don't want to wait. Approachable and friendly service. Al Pastor tacos are the best of them all. Parking is not the best but there are spots on the surrounding streets. Will be back again and again.”
“Visited Strangebird today. And the atmosphere is great! Full service bar. Or tables available for larger groups. The food amazing. Our bartender Dee was epic!! Had the smoked pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. A phenomenal pairing Tried the bbq spaghetti which nearly blew me outta my seat!!! The bbq sauce was epic! @strangebird you need to shrink the size of the bbq spaghetti to a fries size and server them with the handhelds in place of French fries with that bbq sauce. Cuz heck yes! That bbq sauce on the side as a dipper 🤩🤩🤩. Great job to the staff. Bigger vehicles might wanna park on the street. If it’s busy, the parking lot is very narrow.”

“We tried it for DoorDash dinner tonight, and it was very tasty! Great amount of toppings, and the quality of each ingredient was evident. We look forward to visiting the restaurant in the future. We aren’t able to dine out very often in the evening due to our schedule, so having it delivered was very helpful.”

“Some of the absolute best subs I have ever had in my life! my favorites (all made to order) include: 1. Their December sub of the month, a turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cheese sandwich (opted for no cranberry sauce) 2. the biggest bacon egg and cheese I have ever eaten, and the best. lord have mercy, I am a sucker for crispy bacon and my God they delivered 3. Top notch cheesesteaks packed with meat. they do not skimp on portions! In addition to their delicious food, DiPisa also has some of the nicest staff you will ever encounter in any eatery. Buncha great people in there. Prices are EXCELLENT for the quality and size of the sandwiches too.”
“Three of us just finished dinner at Sinbads and it was marvelous! We had a pasta dish, a salad platter and a pizza and they were all equally delicious. The service was excellent as well. We look forward to returning, especially during warmer weather.”
“Food is always good. Always fresh and never an issue. Friendly staff as well.”
Fine Dining
“What a wonderful experience!!! The ambience is delightful, classy, warm and inviting. Our server and bartender were fabulous: knowledgeable and super attentive. The general manager, Sean, was so professional and did a great job checking in to be sure everything was to our expectations!! Thumbs up to the food, drink, staff and ambiance. I highly recommend a dining experience at this restaurant!!!!”
“I have visited the tea shop in person and I’ve also bought from their online store, both experiences were amazing! The tea shop is so cozy and the tea is delicious! When I ordered online, the tea came quickly and came with an extra tea sample and a hand written thank you note! I am sure my husband and I will be repeat customers forever!”
Cheap Eats
“The building looks odd. When you enter there is a small vitamin shop before the restaurant section. That being said, all of the food here was tasty. We tried everything on the menu. My favorites in particular were the stew, risotto and the plantains. You really can't go wrong no matter what you choose. Even the hot Chai was super good. This place is totally worth visiting.”
“Loved, loved, loved this grill! They have booths and tables. The food was exceptional-even the decaf coffee was rich and flavorful!! Everyone there working had a smile on there face which tells you they are happy working there. When I called there to ask questions the man who I talked to was so friendly. And... I must give A shout out to Courtney, our waitress, who was friendly and so helpful. Loved her too! We will be back😊 FOR SURE”
“One of my kids has pretty intense food anxiety and basically is only comfortable eating chicken fingers and fries when we go out to eat. Making it hard on the rest of the family as that limits our dining choices often. We were really excited to find the kids menu here. The sushi, ramen, AND chicken fingers and fries were all excellent, the prices and portions are good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.”
“Hands down my favorite korean/restaurant in general in the roc area. I’ve been coming here consistently for over 6 years now. I am korean, and this is closest to my grandmothers cooking. I cannot say good enough things about this place. The servers are great, the food is delicious every single time, and the restaurant is cute/cozy. You get what you pay for and more, portions are huge.”
“Goodman Baked is the best bakery in town! Pastries are so flaky, the pot pies are so delicious and homemade tasting! Pie crusts are buttery and wonderful! The maritozzi (Italian cream buns) are so fresh and heavenly…better than the ones we had in Italy! Treat yourself!”
“The people here are very nice and helpful, between shake recommendations, meal prep suggestions and their other resources. I highly recommend them (+ the PB&Jacked shake!!!)”
“We would highly recommend having your event with this venue! We booked the Beer Hall without seeing the room. It was decorated so beautifully, was set up perfect with large tables and offered ample space for socializing! The buffet was delicious and offered many options. They also provided us a gluten free dish for one of our guests! Nicole was amazing in serving our guests, making sure everything was taken care of timely and was fantastic to work with (which was all done over the phone). Thank you Rohrbach and Nicole for making our rehearsal dinner a memorable one! All of our guests were so impressed and truly enjoyed the evening!!”
“Rooney’s hosted my colleagues and I today for an amazing dinner. It was mine, and many others first time at Rooney’s and all said the same thing- WE WILL BE BACK. The food was delicious, service amazing, and ambiance was quiet, chic, and moody.”
“What an absolute gem! 💎 the best food (tapas) and wine selections in the area. They offer local to international wines, and the food is made to order and cooked to perfection! We’ve been twice and are going back with friends to share the experience. Our first time was taking our daughter there before she moved to Spain 🇪🇸 and again for our anniversary 🍾🥂. The shaved asparagus salad, grilled octopus, duck, corn dog and chicken shawarma were all excellent! I can’t wait to go back to try more!”
“I’ve been coming here for food for over 10 years, and the quality has always been excellent. The food is always fresh, especially the meat, and everything tastes delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is always neat and clean. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh, high-quality food and great service. It’s one of my favorite places, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!”

“Food was good. Had wings and beef on weck. Service was not good. Sat at a booth in the bar area. This was a Saturday at 4pm. Not busy at all. Took 15 minutes for a waitress to even acknowledge us even though there was at least 3-4 that we saw wandering around. Definitely not as good as the original, but hoping they’ll work out some of the kinks.”
“I love the food, the atmosphere, the serving sizes, the menu pricing and the customer service is amazing”
“Ann was an exceptional waitress. We will definitely request her on our next visit. On point with great service.”
“Crispy Eggplant Parm Sandwich w/ House Chips and Chocolate Coconut Mousse were all delicious, and the service that I received from Ian was both welcoming and attentive. This was the first time that I’ve been out to eat in a while, when I didn’t have to worry so much about compromising flavor, in place of excessive dairy and meats. The Owl House is a winner- I’ll definitely be back! 🤤👍🏼”
“My family and I could not be more happy about using this venue for our sister Sue’s celebration of life. Kristen and her staff really care for the people they work with and made every effort for us to have anything we needed for a perfect celebration. They care for their business and the people who come through the door. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!”

“We went to Murph's with some friends to take advantage of the Coup De Villes band, a local legendary group, abs they didn't disappoint. Great old time music and dancing. Murph's is a fun sports pub with many tv's, plenty of fun noise, abs abeef we were there the crowd was older. The service was good. I would give my fish and chips a 3.5, which isn't available on the rating. Great crust and most fish. Fun server. Crowded and good. We seat in a booth. Much of the crowd was standing. Music is good for dancing, abs there is a small area available. Definitely a pub to experience!!”
“We love hanging at Living Roots! It’s a must see for wine lovers! The venues are awesome - yes, there are two, the staff friendly and knowledgable, and the wine… DELISH! My current personal fav is White Session Spritz 🥂And don't forget to try the Charcutterie, which is also delish! We love it so much that we’re heading to the beautiful Hammondsport location - which overlooks the LR’s vineyards & beautiful Keuka Lake - in October, for an autumn horseback ride, with a wine chaser! I can’t wait!
Cheers! 🥂”
“Came in to explore from Pennsylvania and chose this brewery at random. Great vibes and even better food/beer. Had a great selection of more than just IPAs or sours, which most breweries have fallen into this habit, and the wings were some of the best we have ever had in our lives. Such an incredible / original sauce!”
“Place is amazing, exceptional food and wonderful atmosphere. Would highly recommend.”
“Highly recommend. Great neighborhood “local” tavern. Excellent Beer list. Great food, large portions. Goes on the Official BeerRanger Trail Marker Roster.”
“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.”
“Dinner tonight was fabulous. Fresh, great quality. I had the French dip, which I honestly must say between the beef, bread, couldn’t be better! I had the homemade mashed as a side. Excellent! The garden side salad was perfect combination of vegetables nicely prepared. My guest ordered the cottage pie all I can say is wow and it was also said to be very delicious and beautifully done. I haven’t been in some years it was pleasant to be back. The bar drinks looked amazing as well! You can’t be disappointed here! Our server Hailey was friendly and provided great service. A big thank you for not changing All these years and keeping it amazing as it always has been!”
“Whoever is behind the menu is a shaolin master. This food hits like Inspectah Deck dropping that iconic verse in Triumph. Like Kung Fu classics, I would stand in the rain for a hundred days straight to learn from the Master. The drinks are bomb as well. This has quickly become my favorite watering hole.”
“My mom and I had a great experience- food, drinks and staff! My mom had the chicken BST quesadilla, full of flavor! She also enjoyed their Mule Tide drink special! I loved The Phoenix naan bread pizza, perfect size for one person and good balance of sweet from the honey and little kick of the soppressata! Their Livin Lav cocktail was very refreshing and the color is fun! Couldn’t resist dessert and the red velvet in a jar was the perfect ending to our meal! Staff was very attentive and friendly! We will be returning for sure!!”
“Tried pot roast, fried mozz, chicken tenders & crab cakes. All amazing. Highly recommend.”
“We come to Rosie’s almost weekly! The food is amazing! The staff is happy to share recommendations and they’re very accommodating to modify dishes for our five year old who loves a surprising amount of things not on her regular Dino nugget prefix menu!”
“Love this bar! It’s me and my husband’s favorite in the Rochester area. They have great food, good desserts, and great music. I love all the events they do for the community. It’s a good time.”
“We were there in March for the Billy Joel tribute band and dinner. The food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Loved the cool decor and plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.”
“Flight has wonderful hosts, bartenders and and large and varied selection of wines. Sue's wine suggestions are spot on! It's friendly and warm atmosphere. The patio is wonderful! They don't serve hard liquor. If you like wine, Flight is the place to go! If you want to try it come out on Sept 4 from 4 to 7pm and Sip for a Cause! Flight is generously donating 20% of their sales to Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy to help end Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.”
“Food was cooked to Perfection! The service was great! The flavoring in the Fried ribs was A1 and the sauce was delicious too! But those Greens whew chile❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“I love this place! It's my second time coming because of my daughter, but the cookies are great! I love that they aren't dense, too filling, and it's just the right amount of frosting or topping on each, and I love the app!”
“Had a great well cooked steak, green beans phenomenal, corn was delicious. My wife says the chicken is good and the bread is perfect! Our waitress is attentive, spot on with refills and courteous recommending ideas to complete the meal. Go early to avoid evening rush”
“If this place was outside of the airport I’d be here more often. One of the best Italian cafes in Rochester. Ordered an espresso and the guy asked “tall or short”- last time someone asked me that I was in Italy. Proper coffee and proper service!”
“Came here for the first time and was BLOWN away. My only regret was not being able to eat more. Picturesque dishes perfectly cooked. Can’t wait to come back for more.”
“It was the perfect family friendly brunch spot. Service was great and the menu had something for everyone. Cannot wait to come back!”
“Amazing food and even better service. The bar manager was so kind and attentive and made our whole experience that much better. && She makes the BEST mocktails!!! We will definitely be back!”
“Food was delicious!!! Staff was very friendly and working hard. Desserts are unbelievable- you must try. Go there!!!”
“Me encantó!! Deliciosa la comida y excelente atención! Lo recomiendo 100%”
“Some of the best sushi in Rochester. Everything is clearly made to order and always very fresh. My husband doesn’t typically like sushi, but he loves the Samba roll. Volcano roll is another great one. But the seared tuna appetizer might be our favorite! This has become our go-to place for date night.”
“Enjoyed a lovely dinner this evening with my family at Sabra India restaurant. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere so welcoming. I would highly recommend it, looking forward to my next visit.”
“Late night arrival into Rochester on a Tuesday evening and I chanced upon Branca Midtown via Resy. We took a chance and I am so so glad we did. This place was divine. The host and the servers were impeccable. Sassy, funny, and attentive to a T, we were incredibly impressed and immediately relaxed with the atmosphere and the people. The ricotta appetizer was incredibly and reminded me of a favorite dish in Florence Italy, and the swordfish was perfection. Drinks were delicious, so thank you to the obviously talented bartender, as those were very much needed after our long drive. We will definitely make a point of stopping back then next time we are in town.”
“Ate there last night. Service was good. Manager Julie super friendly and welcoming. 3 of us had fish fries, 2 battered, 1 breaded. Large portions but a bit overcooked. Coleslaw portion small though. Broccoli with garlic butter had a topping that was a bit salty until I mixed it up. Delicious. Super attentive waitress. Never had to ask for a refill of ice tea she'd bring it upon noticing it was getting low. Wedge salad ginormous!! Almost entire head of lettuce!! Friendly staff and good service. Definitely going back for a 2nd try on the fish.”
“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!”
“We celebrated a family dinner and was very pleased with the remodel which none of us had been aware of. We had an amazing waitress , food was fantastic.: wine went down well.. and even the bread was delish. We can have a critical family but tonight everyone went home very satisfied . We will be back SOON. Thank you so much.”
“Food, atmosphere, server very good! Bruce picture of mimosas is where it's at. My only reason it's not 5 stars is that we had a weird miscommunication with he server. 2 people at the table asked for a side of churros and the other had chicken and churro entree. The server came over and said that they can't do the churros and so the person with the chicken and churros ordered side of fries instead and they 2 others with the sides of churros asked for sides of bacon instead. Fast forward, all of us got our entress instead of 1 person. They waited 15 minutes longer than everyone else. Then all of a sudden 3 sides of churros came out. The server said ok the kitchen is trying these. So now at this point everyone had their replacement sides and now 3 sides of churros. We assumed they "were testing them" since that's what the server said and they would be on the house since now that's too much food. But when we got the bill we were charged for the curros and the other sides. It was just confusing overall with the communication on that and then also we got charged for sides and the cjurros when we wanted 1 or the other not both. The manager, which I think is the owner was very nice and they comped the churros. It sounded like the server told them that we didn't like the churros, but it was more of the principle of being charged. Would definitely go back, I would never hold a miscommunication against a restaurant, but just wanted to voice a few things. Overall cool new spot”
“We recently ordered a fairly large quantity of food and drinks from Mullers for my sisters baby shower. They were easy to work with, gave us a great deal and checked in a few times to make sure everything was on schedule. When I arrived for pick-up they greeted me at the door by my first name with smiles just like I was family. They also helped to load everything into my trunk. A few days after the event they even checked in to see how everything went! This is how you run a business! It’s hard in 2023 to find an establishment with that kind of class and professionalism. I highly recommend Mullers for any catering needs. Even better yet, stop in and enjoy some drinks, cider and food with some friends or family. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Party of 6 last Friday. Service was excellent, nearly everything we ordered was amazing except the scallops. They were small, not cooked well and dish was rather bland. I love seafood so i was quite disappointed but we will definitely be back. Overall 8.5/10”
“I had my birthday/retirement celebration at I Square Wine Reserve Saturday night. Sara the event coordinator and Mike helped me make my plans. It was fabulous. Appetizers were delicious and the.Arancini’s were amazing. Everyone was complementing the chef. I was so happy to celebrate my special occasions there. A big thank you again to Mike and Sara and Olivia our bartender .👋👋👋”

“Great place! Love Gigi and their executive chef creates the best meals. Had their blueberry rib eye. It was fabulous and the presentation was beautiful. Thank you”
“We loved the vibe here; everyone friendly and relaxed. Food had great flavor but oysters and musssls very small….hard and a bit expensive to piece together a meal. Think of the place more as a great place for a drinks and offering some good food appetizer accompaniments but a real meal.”
“Your food went way way down the way outside is so long it's ridiculous then the food is cold doesn't taste like it should taste you should get back to cook she had there when you opened the ones who came from fornataros. Got to go food for Thanksgiving no one touched it the the artichoke French looked like chicken nuggets terrible look like it was baked not sauteed the clams casino were as big as to Wegmans water bottle caps I took a picture was going to even send it to them but you know they don't do anything anyways we got 25 clams casino maybe a total of those clams were four clams that's all small they were nobody even ate them I'm going to be calling to take them back but someone said don't bother they don't care about their food coming out they think because they had a name that they were good you got to keep up that good food otherwise people stop coming”
“First time there - the food is AMAZING! Some of the best food I’ve ever had. So reminiscent of El Ricon, but yet different. Huge and intriguing menu. The quesadillas are so delicious as are the sopes, & chile rellenos..the flan is creamy & caramel and the chocolate dulce de leche is sinful. If you haven’t been - GO… does not disappoint! I’ll be back for sure.”
“The front counter ladies and the folks making the food were awesome I'm just sad I didn't get to take some of their gelato this first time coming but my goodness they all looked so good and the sweet potato casserole gelato was so yummy for a sample taste I felt guilty not getting any after lol please don't change this place”

“My kid’s plane was delayed so I had 45 mins to spare and happened upon this diner. The menu is broad with old favorites like all-day breakfast and chili and sandwiches, but there’s also Greek/Mediterranean options. I got Moussaka and salad for $15 and took half to my son, portions being generous. Good prices and good food.”
“I almost don't want to give a review. This is the best food service and portions in all of Rochester. I was being selfish trying to keep the secret to myself so it would not get busier lol. I cannot do that to the owners and staff because they really are number in food and friendly service!”
“I love this shoppe. the pasta is excellent. I recently tried the Arrabata sauce although I usually make my own and it is wonderful. my last trip I tried one of your cannolis. I would have made a trip right back to your shop to buy more except I am a little embarrassed over my cannoli addition.”
“Had a party for a friend recently. The Hostess was the best, she knows what you need even before you ask. Always with a smile. The Chef/Owner prepared (the food) everything well. All guests were so pleased. The atmosphere is pleasant and safe. I recommend; if you are passing through town or need a go to place for good food and great people------ go here. You will not be disappointed.”
“Julia K just catered my husband's Celebration of Life service at the Memorial Art Gallery. I was an emotional mess when we first met to talk about food and couldn't make any decisions, but Julia assured me that every detail would be covered, and that I could call her personally at any time with questions or requests. And I did. Julia came up with a wide variety of menu items that my husband loved to eat-- as well as what my many grandchildren, and gluten free and vegan friends would eat-- and decorated in colors that reflected him. It was a beautiful spread! While saying "thank you, I love you and goodbye" to one's lifelong partner is the ultimate in challenging life events, Julia and her catering family (biological and work fam) made the evening infinitely easier on me... Julia even tracked how I was doing and brought me food and drink when she knew I hadn't had any. She's a jewel!”

“The wait was long due to the busyness, but checking out the merchandise in the shop was very nice and sped up the wait time. The hostesses were very kind and accommodating. Then, with a party of 6, we had the BEST of the BEST server, Latisha! It was a pleasure having her serve us, as she was friendly, always with a smile, efficient, caring, and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable! THANK YOU, LATISHA!! Also, the food was excellent!”
“What a wonderful experience!!! The ambience is delightful, classy, warm and inviting. Our server and bartender were fabulous: knowledgeable and super attentive. The general manager, Sean, was so professional and did a great job checking in to be sure everything was to our expectations!! Thumbs up to the food, drink, staff and ambiance. I highly recommend a dining experience at this restaurant!!!!”
“Not only were the employees very kind, the food itself was wonderful for my first visit. We also got one of the chocolate chip vegan cookies and it is EASILY the best cookie I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect to like it so much (I’m not even vegan! It just looks yummy 🤭). Lovely little place with adorable animal photos throughout also. Employee was kind when I asked for an explanation for them. Loved finding out it’s a community board of loved pets alive and those also lost. They stated the community could bring in a photo of their pet to place on the wall. Great to see that small moment of recognizing the community and being involved to create that memorial & funny moments for the animals! Thanks for a great experience. For sure will be back.”

“I bought some pizzas for my employees a week ago and we all agreed that they have the best pizza on the west side. Fast forward to today, my 4 year old is demanding pizza at a time where all the good pizza places are out of slices. I called and the owner offered to make a mini pizza specifically for her and also refused to let me pay him. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing people. Thank you!”
“A genuine welcoming environment filled with guys that love their job. Food was fantastic!! Me and my husband both got a chubbz classic combo (double) but I got loaded fries with mine. After eating we doubled back for a hot dog and onion rings bc the original food was so good”
“I consider myself an expert at coffee shops. Elvio’s is the best in the business. The food menu has something for everyone whether it be breakfast or lunch. The coffee is done right and made to order. The atmosphere is 5 stars! Check out their hours and make it a weekly visit!!!”
“Great food and nice atmosphere. There is a room in the back for larger parties. The service was really attentive and they were very accommodating to vegans. Some of us got the dinner buffet and some ordered off the menu. All the food was delicious. We will definitely be back.”
“Outstanding food including presentation, Excellent Cocktails, worthy of more recognition, faultless service .
Only major fault is the noise level in the main dining area -
It is ridiculously loud for a luxe type restaurant and setting .
We almost fled altogether as it would have been a stressful undertaking-
We were persuaded by the Maitre D to try the bar which was an island of tranquility separated by a glass partition.
The bartender was a delight , knowledgeable and extremely talented , who produced a series of faultless and faultlessly executed cocktails.
Overall an outstanding restaurant but sit at the bar and enjoy the banter and ambiance there, not the maelstrom of the main dining area- a disappointing but avoidable fault in an otherwise stellar dining experience for Rochester.”
“My mom and I had a great experience- food, drinks and staff! My mom had the chicken BST quesadilla, full of flavor! She also enjoyed their Mule Tide drink special! I loved The Phoenix naan bread pizza, perfect size for one person and good balance of sweet from the honey and little kick of the soppressata! Their Livin Lav cocktail was very refreshing and the color is fun! Couldn’t resist dessert and the red velvet in a jar was the perfect ending to our meal! Staff was very attentive and friendly! We will be returning for sure!!”
