27 Best Wine Bars near East Rochester

“My niece and I went to El Greco tonight and it was a wonderful experience. It was even a great experience before I got there. I have dietary restrictions so I messaged weeks before going. Someone got back to me quickly and gave several options for me. When we went in tonight the environment surprised me. The inside is so inviting and comfortable. I loved the homely feel. The food was so good and it it service was top notch. Our waiter was a young man and he was wonderful and so kind. The owner came out and asked how things were and he shaked my hand and had a great conversation with him. Everyone was a wonderful human being and we had a great experience.“

“Amazing experience for my cousin's birthday dinner. First time at Leonores and it didn't disappoint. Food was delicious, well crafted and beautifully presented. Price is a bit steep for what you get. However, the food was unbelievable.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and delicious drinks! You can’t go wrong with any of their cocktails!“

“This is a great place for cocktails. They have a certain number on draft but can also make anything you like. I've never been a fan of martinis, but on a whim I tried their signature drink which happens to be a martini and honestly I was blown away. It was smooth, with just the right amount of bitter and sweetness making it incredibly well balanced.“

“What an absolute gem! 💎 the best food (tapas) and wine selections in the area. They offer local to international wines, and the food is made to order and cooked to perfection! We’ve been twice and are going back with friends to share the experience. Our first time was taking our daughter there before she moved to Spain 🇪🇸 and again for our anniversary 🍾🥂. The shaved asparagus salad, grilled octopus, duck, corn dog and chicken shawarma were all excellent! I can’t wait to go back to try more!“

“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!“

“Vibes with flavors, more than food“

“I have been to La Bola a few times for lunch and love their sandwiches on foccacia. Recently I went to a holiday party there and it was out of this world! What a cool place to have an event! They put out several different spreads to graze on, one was an eggplant and fig foccacia- fantastic. I also really enjoyed the craft cocktail options they had for the event which were winter themed. I will most definitely be back for lunch (or dinner) and I hope to get to go for an event there again.“

“Amazing food! Amazing staff! They’re willing to tell you everything about a dish if you’re curious. And sweet tamarin sauce should just be on everything you ever eat!“

“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!“

“Recently went for a girls dinner and was happy to find many gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu. Staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Food and cocktails were delicious. Celiac approved. Will be back.“

“I had my rehearsal dinner at Hose 22 in the Red Room. My sister handled most of the communication to book the event as I live out of town. She was able to tour the space and get photos and videos of it to share with me. The cost to host a small event of 25 people is reasonable. The food was delicious and there was plenty for all my guests and we did a consumption bar. The bartenders were kind and helpful throughout the night. My guests enjoyed the atmosphere and enjoyed the history of the old firehouse and the aspects of the firehouse that have been kept like the poles. One of my guests has a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating, everything we picked for our menu that was not already Gluten Free was able to be made that way for her. The plate of gluten free mac and cheese they brought out specifically for her was huge! Hose 22 is a great place to host a small event with delicious food!“

“I came for Pastry & Coffee, and decided to have a light lunch of Chicken Salad Platter. The Chicken Salad was delicious, fresh. The Salad Greens, Cherry Tomatoes, Mushrooms, refreshing and crisp Viennese Merengue Torte soft, creamy not too sweet. Service was nice and attentive.“

“Exceptional! Great food and service!“

“Great experience for girls night out! We started outside but then when it began to rain we moved inside and the service at both spots was great! Food was delicious, drinks were tasty and loved the atmosphere both outside and inside. Will definitely be back soon!“

“We loved the vibe here; everyone friendly and relaxed. Food had great flavor but oysters and musssls very small….hard and a bit expensive to piece together a meal. Think of the place more as a great place for a drinks and offering some good food appetizer accompaniments but a real meal.“

“fantastic dinner last night, the ravioli was the best I've ever had. Noah is a fantastic waiter and we certainly adore our Rachel.“

“We recently celebrated our anniversary at Pane Vino. They provided us a very quaint seat overlooking the river. They have done a nice job masking the noise level of their beautiful interior that is full of character. We interacted with 4 staff that were all very personable, professional, and efficient. The food was all exceptional and the wine list very nice. We were impressed that the owner checked on us several times, he definitely cares and pays attention to detail. We plan to return here on our next visit to the area.“

“The staff was amazing! Tim and Alana went above and beyond! Highly recommend!“
