“Great first day at Spotted Octopus in Rochester! Loved the beer, food and especially the service. The new systems threw the team a few curveballs, but the staff kept their cool and made customer satisfaction the #1 focus. Opening on parade day proved to be the perfect pressure test and they definitely succeeded.“

“Party of 6. Drinks are fantastic. Food not so much and here is why. If you are in the large lounge where we were, your tables are low round coffee tables, so you eat hunched over for something like a beet salad which ended up more on the floor than in our mouths. Charcuterie tray is scant and feeds 2 at best. The oysters were watery and the taste was slightly off. We ordered 8 small plates and everyone said we are gonna need an ABV run for dinner. So I recommend small parties - no more than 4, else you will collide with the next group of tables. Great place for drinks but plan as pre or post dinner stop over like you would Savoy.“

“I've been going to Crabapples since it was Crabapples. Need I say more? Amazing place. Relaxed atmosphere. Among the best beer selections in Western New York. What's not to love?“

“Excellent! Been there numerous times; food is consistently excellent and made how you like it (spiciness). Highly recommend for Ramen soup.“
