“We began our meal with an order of focaccia and hummus (served with warm pita bread) -- both were wonderful. My husband had the Mafalde wild boar ragu. I had the vegetarian dish, Gnudi. We were both pleased with our meals. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert so we shared a French Press of coffee. Although not the quickest, our server was sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable.“

“For a restaurant that is located on busy 2nd Street in Rochester the Canadian honker has easy parking behind the restaurant and also a lot that’s across the street. Walking into Canadian honker there is a cozy and homey feeling.The service was spectacular and the food was delicious. No take-home boxes were needed. We stopped in for breakfast and I had a lumberjack with French toast. I will definitely be back.“

“We’ve eaten at Tilda’s and ordered for pick-up, and have not been disappointed! The pizza is delicious with unique options. The place is quiet (I hate when you have to yell over the music or others’ conversations). And when we pre-ordered for pick-up, it was hot & ready at the exact minute we requested. Fantastic place!“

“We stopped in for a dark beer in the middle of the afternoon. The place has a nice downtown vibe. The bartender, Adam, was friendly, and we enjoyed a cold beverage with some light hearted conversation. The beer menu wasn't as extensive as their west side establishment, but still good. We didn't eat, but their menu looks quite similar, so I'm sure it's delish.“

“Food is hit or miss. Examples: pork tacos are simply chopped & cubed pork. Odd choice. Chicken sandwiches can be a bit dry, just a little more sauce away from being good. Waffles fries are great.Also there are low-hanging opportunists to boost the table experience. The QR codes are peeled up off the table & the order numbers are ‘floppy’. Fix thisStaff is great, attentive, and quick.“

“I ordered from Glynner's this day because it was Friday during Lent. I looked online around town to see what other restaurants were offering for Lent specials, but what made me choose Glynner's was the various options. They offered Walleye. another type of fish, and shrimp all made two different ways. The shrimp tacos and the Walleye strips were amazing. My only letdown was the onion rings. They were extremely greasy. Definitely recommend trying Glynner's on a Friday during Lent for these specials.“

“This was a welcome dinner option for my mom and me when we were done with her Mayo Clinic appts for the day. She had a chicken wrap and sweet potato fries and was super happy with her choices. I had a walleye sandwich and regular fries (which were legit great, although I recommend asking for half seasoning). We split a Snickers pie for dessert which was decent. Prices were also reasonable. I very much appreciated being able to treat her to a decent dinner after a long day without having to leave the hotel!“

“We visited for the first time for dinner. We were welcomed warmly and promptly seated by Eva. Eva was also our waitress. Serive was excellent with good timing. We had the Rising Sun Drop and Oaked Cherry Blossom cocktails; gyoza; onion soup; unagi nigiri, salmon, yellowtail, and white tuna sashimi; and chicken and filet mignon hibachi with teriyaki noodles. The food and drinks were all delicious. The steak pieces were wonderfully tender and juicy. The gyoza pleasantly reminded me of Japan. The sashimi pieces are fresh and HUGE. The chocolate torte is very good and would benefit from small cups of raspberry sauce and creme Anglais for dipping. A very enjoyable dinner. We will be back. They have a very good sake selection and offer a flight.“

“Bartenders are amazing! However, popcorn machine broke over a month ago but owner is too cheep to fix it. Apparently he won’t let them turn on the a/c either and it’s super hot in here so you might want to call ahead and confirm the temp before going. If you like a sauna feel it’s perfect on a humid night.“
