“We are out of towners and first timers to this spot. It will not be our last. The service was absolutely amazing. Our server had my beer in less than 2 minutes. The food was excellent. You can really tell when you come into a restaurant and people care about it. This place has a vibe that other restaurants should envy. Thank you for being awesome!”

“Such a classy place - Great drinks , food & prices .”

“Absolutely loved my visit to Working Class Coffee! The breakfast sandwich, seasoned potatoes, and coffee were all delicious — perfectly cooked and flavorful. The service was wonderful too. Derek and the barista were both kind and welcoming, and I really enjoyed chatting with Derek’s dad. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Our first time here and we will be returning, dishes are made to order so you can have them to your liking. (a little less hot for mine) and both our entrees were delicious. Tiramisu was homemade and light enough to follow meals. Wendy, the owner and daughter were friendly and attentive and we had great conversations. See you soon.”

“This was the worst. Burger is paper thin and no flavor. Blue cheese burger with Bleu cheese mayonnaise dressing. Brown lettuce. Tasteless. $30, one bite and left.”

“My new husband and I came to the Finger Lakes on our honeymoon. We were in Canandaigua and were recommended Wally's by a local for a late-night dinner. What a fantastic experience! We had the wings and the Wally's plate, and we’ll be thinking of both for a long time!”

“Delicious ice cream! We love coming here!”

“Just received my first shipment from Good Life Tea. I have ordered from other suppliers online before but I have been having a lot of trouble lately finding a good selection of decaf greens. So happy that I found this company. The tea is great and the personalization with the handwritten notes shows that they really care about their customers. Small businesses are the backbone of this country.Keep up the good work Susan.”

“Love it at Coho. I don’t go all the time. More like a treat when I’m in there area. When Caleb is there he runs a tight ship. Talks with customers. All the bartenders are great too. It all ties in to help your experience be epic! ML&R to the crew up front and behind the scenes - 🤘🏼🤘🏼”

“We had 8 of us show up and we were served outside with our two dogs while they were also hosting a huge indoor event! Food was delicious, drinks were right on and sitting outside with our dogs was lovely! I thought it would be a much longer wait for everything since they were so busy but it was not at all! They are also offering some kickball league, cornhole, and so much more! There’s live music every weekend and just an overall wonderful place to go.”

“Went there for dinner before a concert at CMAC yesterday and the food and service were AMAZING 👍! I strongly recommend the Peppers Pot Roast because it was the friggin SHIZNIT!!!!! The owners Abraham & Christie are wickedly talented when it comes to the meals and desserts 😁!”

“Thank you so much for the outstanding job on the cold cut tray we ordered for a birthday celebration. Everything from the meats, cheeses, toppings, condiments and rolls were fresh and delicious. Everyone enjoyed it and was a hit with our guests. The service was also appreciated as the young man insisted on helping me load everything into the car. Really appreciate the job you do and having you close by. Thanks!”

“The cutest little drive thru coffee shop! They will make anything, and have unique monthly special drinks. Love their iced chai lattes! Sam is always so nice, and makes the drinks fast! They even give pups a little treat. Highly recommend this over the local chains.”

“I absolutely love flavors restaurant. The food is incredible & the staff is very friendly as well! I drive 45 minutes just to get the chicken makhani with rice and naan bread, so delicious!

“We LOVED our first experience here. The homemade bread, sausage and baked goods were on point- along with one of the BEST biscuits and gravy ever- we honestly think this is one of the best places for breakfast in Canandaigua. We can’t wait to come back and try lunch! We loved hearing the history of this family woman owned and operated business! Cheers to a comfortable, cozy atmosphere with delicious food!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visit Star Cider all the time, and it never disappoints! The cider selection is phenomenal… so many unique, flavorful options that make every visit feel like a new adventure. Each sip is a perfect burst of sunshine in a glass!! Plus, they host such fun events that make every visit feel special! The staff are a huge part of why we keep coming back. They’re always upbeat, patient, and genuinely happy to be there. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, they make you feel welcome and appreciated. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and family-friendly. We always enjoy listening to the music, soaking up the sunshine, and sipping on the most delicious cider. It’s the kind of place that just makes you feel good!! Absolutely one of our favorite go-to spots. Highly recommend! 🍎☀️🎶🍻”

“My brother who is 83 couldn't find already popped popcorn at the grocery so I thought I would surprise him. I live in Missouri and called KP's in Canandaigua NY to buy and send him some. They politely said they only do events. Then they said they would drop off a couple bags at his house and wouldn't take pay for it. What a great loving company.”

“We’ve been ordering from the monthly cookie drops for a while that it was an absolute no brainer to request a custom cookie order for our wedding desserts. The hardest part was narrowing down our flavor choices from our running list of favorites! We ended up with 5 trays of different flavors that our guests raved about. We cannot thank Nicole and her family enough!!”

“My husband took me for dinner and ice cream this afternoon after a few errands. I was not able to enter the restaurant, as I have a badly broken foot and I rested in the car. My husband brought out a beautifully made sundae for me!! I would have gone inside and thanked the server, but I just needed to rest. Little did that server know, I will be having surgery in two days, and I have been in so much pain, unable to sleep, and hardly able to eat, from worry. That sundae cheered me up SO much!!!! You never know exactly who is on the receiving end of your work -- but that waiter made our sundaes as though they were a gift or from a fancy restaurant! I was so delighted! Thank you! (My husband said the server was young and had tattoos. Thank you for cheering me up!!)”

“Went to Rays for breakfast which was very good. Got the bill and there is charge for toast. Since when do you get charged for toast with eggs. The waitress should tell her customer that there is a extra charge for toast.”

“Has the best clam chowder!! Great meal and service. Will definitely be a return customer.”

“Great staff, fair pricing, and arguably the best pizza around! Love everything about their pizza! 🍕”

“Delicious classic ice cream with lots of flavor options. The place is colorful and cute, and the service is fast and friendly. There are plenty of tasty options to choose from”

“Love the staff and the food is great too 😀”

“Great staff and Delicious food consistently.”

“Outstanding service and delicious sausage sandwiches ice cold beer! Local and community based!! Thank you Joe and staff!🌲”

“A very peasant way to spend the afternoon in view of water. Fun people watching. Nice selection of brews and wines. The charcuterie board could use a little more bread per serving, but is very tasty. Service was a bit inattentive on a slow afternoon.”

“Always the best pizza in town.

Ted and Jeff. I'm heartbroken to hear you are closing. My trips back home just won't be the same without an outstanding Pontillos pizza and dozen wings. Thank you for over 50 years of tremendous service to our community and I wish you all the best in wherever life takes you.

“I am really surprised! I ordered the Garlic Sauce Pork for lunch. I usually order the Garlic Chicken when I go to Chinese restaurants. The vegetables they add are alot more than the usual. The flavors are really good, that I didnt have to add soy sauce or anything! Still it really surprises me! Usually any Chinese restaurant they lack flavor! Thanks for going above what other Chinese restaurants have always needed. Standing out from the rest!”

“Fun to order your food, have a drink, and listen to music!”

“Awesome restaurant- Fantastic food, Friendly staff”

“Mostly semi dry and dry wines but we did manage to find a wine my wife and I can both enjoy. This Taste of New York is an awesome place. That they're helping young people learn the workings of a kitchen or the differences in the various wines and beers available is commendable. The young lady at the tasting room was funny, happy, and thoroughly set the tone for a great time there.”

“Great atmosphere, Great food,Great people...”

“Good food, great bartenders, pool table.”

“Working with someone like Mrs. Clarice Haynes is a good experience and has predictive results for me every week. I invested my first $1,000 into bitcoin and Mrs. Clarice helped me manage my account to success making $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined after much loss in the past. God walked me through the entire process from start to fin”

“The first thing that sticks out to me is how clean and organized the store is. Good choice of flavors from hard ice cream to soft. Customer service was excellent from girl s working counter. Picnic tables and kids swing set add a nice touch. Overall area was spotless. Easy in and out with plenty of parking.”

“From 24 hours away this is the spot we came to wings are super crispy beers are cold and bartender is super friendly. I thank Cody for all his friendship and hospitality all those guidance on fishing the pier and all those guidance on the best alcohol to drink if you’ve never been to New York, and you decide to come check out Jose and Willie‘s on the pier!!!!”

“Would definitely recommend! Stopped while in town for the weekend and was glad we did. Everything was really good, friendly staff and quick service. Mac plate as is with pulled pork... 👍👍 delicious!”

“Everything was absolutely amazing!! Our waitress was Jenna and she was absolutely incredible, we didn’t have to ask for a refill once she was on top of it! We had two appetizers: Buffalo Chicken Dip and Spinach and Artichoke Dip, they were both incredible! The spinach and artichoke dip had a tasty layer of cheese on top and the Buffalo chicken dip definitely had some heat but in the best way, sooo good! I ended up ordering the Jack’d n cheese after Jenna helped me pick and it was so good! It was spicy, creamy, the tenders were nice and crispy, everything about it was just phenomenal, also the cheese left in the bottom of the skillet is perfect for dipping chips and fries into! My parents and partner got the meatball sub and they couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. We will definitely be back, and really hope Jenna is our waitress again!”

“Celebrated my birthday at Casa de Pasta and it was great. My husband and I enjoyed a drink at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and made a great martini. At our table, our waitress seemed new but was friendly and the service was pleasant. The herbed whipped butter and bread were great. My gnocchi with a meatball was delicious, and my husband enjoyed his seafood fra diavolo. Very nice way to celebrate a birthday date night!”

“Great brewpub on the lake. Nice selection of their beers on tap, and the bartender offered to let us try a sip before committing. Food was unexpectedly great. $3 taco's on Taco Tuesdays is a great deal.”

“The food is decent, but a few items i got, i barely at bc it just wasn't tasting right or texture was off.

Vegetarian options: The sweet sour chicken and the red sauce it cones w were delicious but lacked portion size. I ordered it large and felt it was a small”

“My wife and I love going to the Hive not only for the food, which is always consistently delicious but the friendly and accommodating staff. We also love the customers because it's like being in an episode of "Cheers" (if anyone remembers that show) Everyone Knows Your Name!!! Highly recommended!!!”

“Went after a CMAC concert. Great place to wait out traffic. Kasey was the best server I had tonight. She recommended that half price apps, and drinks…and wouldn’t ya know…they were half price. Ask for Kasey, she’s a good time.”

“Food was good service was decent. place was deserted. looks as if they get no business. Please support your local businesses before we lose the places we love.”

“the Mexican sundae is out of this world yummy!!!”

“My boyfriend and I decided to try Nick’s for dinner tonight. We were very pleased from the front door service/seating to our waitress Annmarie. She was fantastic at recommending drinks and our main course. The atmosphere had a cool jazz club with the ambiance and music. We highly recommend the prime rib! We will definitely be repeat customers”

“This is hands down, the BEST Starbucks in the Rochester area. I’ve frequented many in Rochester and in my travels. This Starbucks is hands down one of the best-run locations I’ve been to, because of the store manager, and what she does with the team. it’s clean, organized, and the energy is actually good which is rare. The drinks are consistently on point, made quickly, and you can tell the team actually cares about what they’re doing. They make the drive thru FUN! The baristas KNOW good customer service, and I attribute this to management. A lot of Starbucks lack on this - not this store.
The store manager herself sets that tone. She’s attentive, kind, and clearly leads her team in a way that makes people want to show up and do well. It shows in every interaction whether it’s a regular or someone coming in for the first time.
It’s the kind of place where you don’t just grab coffee. It enjoyable there!
If you’re anywhere near this location, it’s 100% worth going out of your way for.”

“The remodel looks great!
The staff was friendly and helpful!
Kaylee(?) seems to be running a good store!
The relaunch celebration seemed successful - only thing is that it could have more visibility from the street! Better advertising/presentation. A mascot/Shaker box person at the corner perhaps?”

“Like a zoo fast service !”
