The Blu Wolf was great!Stopped in for a great lunch with a darling friend. We enjoyed their soup and sandwiches to the fullest! I was too full to try a milk shake but I am coming for one with the husband soon! I can’t wait to explore the menu further and expand upon my review.This location was clean, well maintained and the staff was super friendly!Way 2 go Blu!

First time visiting Rochester and the burger was delicious! They had great options and the atmosphere felt comfortable and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: Mushroom Burger is available.

There was a buzz about this place, so we went. It was...meh. very slow service, server was chatting with people and not taking care of her customers very well. And the food was extremely average. We didn't get it.Thinking we might have hit an off night, we went again about 4 months later. Same thing.It wasn't bad or unpleasant, it was just incredibly average and there was nothing notable about the place at all, especially the food.

Bartender was great and she made delicious drinks. One of the waiters (I didn’t catch his name but he’s very short compared to the others, maybe 5’0 tall?) would not stop loudly complaining at the end of the bar.At one point he started sharing his opinions on people with autism. Saying “autism is a superpower” adds to the stigma of dehumanizing autistic people as they don’t take into account the cost that perceived ‘genius’ can have.Did not have food. Overall review 3/5, great drinks, ignorant waiter with napoleon complex took away from the vibes significantly.

Great little bistro with varied menu; something for everyone. Went with my son on a Friday night. We had a reservation, but there were tables available for walk-ins as well. Had a hard time deciding what to get because everything looked good. Our server was super friendly and very attentive. I ended up getting the Lawful Waffle burger, and my son got the fish fry, and we split a maple bacon milkshake. The burger was great, although slightly overcooked. My son said the fish was very good as well, but he couldn't even finish it as it was so big. The milkshake, which they kindly put into 2 glasses for us, was good but not as good as we'd hoped for; we wouldn't get it again. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would both recommend it and will return.

Came in for lunch at about 1:20PM in the afternoon with a party of five. I was absolutely astounded when we were told they won’t be sitting anyone for another 40 minutes since they are making the transition from “brunch” to their lunch menu. What I can’t understand is that the restaurant was almost full! We drove almost 40 minutes to come to blue wolf and then turned away. This isn’t the first time we’ve had terrible service but still was willing to give them another shot. Now we’re never coming back ever again. If you’re looking for a good quality service then this restaurant is NOT the place to go.

Second time going there for wings. The first time the fryer was broken. Could not get them. Other items were pretty pricey. So I went across the street to Jines. Its Park Ave so pricey is par for the course. My second time there I once again ordered the wings. They came out in 7 minutes. It was busy and this shocked me as they appeared to be cooked well. I ordered them Hot. They were neither Hot as in Spicy nor temperature. In fact, they were startlingly cold. I told the server and she offered to Redu them. My trust level at this point was zero. I could not finish them. At $18 they should have been Hot and Spicy.

Came for a Saturday evening anniversary dinner. Arrived at 7:00 pm to be met with a 45 minute que for seating. Staff took our name and number whilst we went down the street for a coffee. Arrived back an hour later, still waiting for our table, no call. We happily waited at the bar and ordered drinks while waiting another hour; with the bartender only finding us once to ask for reservice within the hour (at this point there were multiple empty chairs at the bar). Finally after no comment back from hostess we asked for an estimated time to be seated. We were told that the kitchen had just closed and they would no longer seat us or serve us food. Absolutely shocked and dismayed with the lack of communication between staff and customers. The bartender "kindly" removed only one of our two $15 cocktails from our tab for the trouble. Absolutely subpar service and ridiculous pricing for middle of the run meals and drinks. I usually don't write reviews but this is an exception for such a mismanaged "fine dining" establishment. With the lack of compassion from staff and management, I will kindly recommend to stay away from Blu Wolf to anyone in passing.
