Very cute place! We were the only table seated yet waited quite a while for a server to come. The chips are spicy (does not state that on menu) the chicken in the fried chicken sandwich is spicy as well both should be listed as spicy as our party has reflux and would not have order this item had we known it was spicy! The server didn't come to the table after the food was served to check on us even though we were her only table!

Great vibe for sure and the mains were tasty but there were some irregularities that could be ironed out. Why give so little bread with the decent sized brie and feta? Why charge $10 for a ridiculously small sized side of salad? Why did we have to stare at our completed starter plates for 15 minutes before they were taken away, have our small salad there sitting in front of us on its own (delivered way before the mains) and then all three of us say this was borderline unacceptable to have to wait so long for our mains.The mains did turn out to be delicious but we couldn’t bear the possibility of another long wait (for dessert) so instead went to an excellent ice cream shop nearby.

Enjoyed a wonderful Sunday brunch. The food was delicious. I ordered the Keto Scramble, so yummy. My friends ordered the Avocado Toast Turn’t Up and the Better Than BLT and they thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Love the atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday with a larger (18) group of friends and family. We were in a semi-private room, and I was a little concerned about sharing the space with other guest, but the atmosphere was great and CRISP was incredibly accommodating. They even set up a few simple decorations that I brought in ahead of time. My wife and I had been to CRISP a few times and always enjoyed the drinks, atmosphere and food. Despite being such a large party, there was no fall off in the quality of service or food.Dietary restrictions: CRISP has a good selection of gluten free options.

Atmosphere is great. Service was good… food not so much. My enchiladas had a very sweet cinnamon taste not something you would want for a dinner.. my friends salad has anchovies?? Also was un expected.

We did a girls night out for our first time visiting Crisp and it did not disappoint. We all decided to get the special which was a steak with garlic mashed potatoes and zucchini and squash. It was delicious! We also got the churros to share along with the big piece of chocolate cake. Everything was great and we definitely come back here again.

Not a great experience. It was a slow moving night service wise. You could tell FOH staff was a little overwhelmed because they were a little snippy right off the bat about our table. My friend had made a reservation for 12 people for her birthday. She was actually intending to cancel after finding out her grandma died the night before, but thought it would be better to be with friends and because there was a steep charge for canceling.We waited about 15 mins past our reservation time because they were still preparing our table. Waiting seemed to be the theme of the night. We waited over an hour for our food to arrive with no communication from the server or management. When it did arrive, 2 dishes were cold and 3 were missing. The birthday girl had just ordered fries and that was one of the dishes that took an additional 15 mins to arrive the other two dishes were a charcuterie board and a salad.I've worked in restaurants for a long time and can understand a night where the kitchen just can't keep up, but no communication or apologies for the delay was just not cool.Many of us hadn't been there yet and won't be going back.

I’m not sure why Crisp is rated so highly.Our server was indeed wonderful, but the food and drink were problematic.We ordered cokes and mine tasted like anti-freeze. The garlic mashed potatoes were strangely dark brown with an atrocious flavor - and I LOVE garlic mashed!I planned to ask for a new coke, but after complaining about the mashed I felt awkward complaining again.The truffle honey chicken was tasty but cold as were the potatoes. The place wasn’t even busy! I’m not sure why they serve cold food that should be hot. My replacement fries were average but hot at least!Overall the experience was disappointing.
I’ve been here a few times, and the service is always amazing! The staff is kind, attentive, fast, and friendly. However, the food is personally hit or miss for me. Some really great stuff and some just-average stuff. The summertime on the patio is surprisingly nice for the location too!

Crisp is perhaps the finest location in the city of Rochester. Hands down a 5 star experience. Food is unbelievably delicious. Staff is friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is charming and invites you in from half a block away. Do not leave without dessert and enjoy every course with an amazing craft cocktail. 10/10 will do it again.Vegetarian options: Get the vegan meatloaf. It's just like you wish your mom made.Dietary restrictions: Vegan/Vegetarian options galore. Still plenty of options for meat eaters too.

Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our dinner here. The ambience is great and the service is perfect. No notes, keep it up.The menu has a lot of veg / GF options for those with dietary restrictions.The food was generally excellent, with a couple exceptions. For our starters, the charcuterie board and billionaire bacon were tasty and well executed.I had the Heaven in a Bowl, and well, not a fan of the dish. It was swimming in a thick sauce that utterly overpowered every ingredient in it. I got 5 bites, tops, before I was done. I love gorgonzola, but this was just too much. There's no point in 5 other ingredients if you can't actually taste them.My wife had the burger, and it was outstanding. Luckily she got full and I was able to eat half of it for her, so I didn't leave hungry. The chips that came with it, wow. Loved them.For sides, we had the pork belly mac and cheese and the garlic mashed potatoes. The potatoes were good, I like the rustic texture of leaving some skin and solid bits. The Mac and cheese was a bit on the bland side, it needed a bit more seasoning and/or some more "cheesiness". The pork belly was a nice addition, but there were like 4 tiny little cubes of it. More of a garnish than an ingredient.That being said, I'd absolutely go here again as they had several menu items I really want to try.
