“Excellent food quality and so flavorful!“

“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!“

“Rooney’s hosted my colleagues and I today for an amazing dinner. It was mine, and many others first time at Rooney’s and all said the same thing- WE WILL BE BACK. The food was delicious, service amazing, and ambiance was quiet, chic, and moody.“

“Great Diner, somewhat crowded during breakfast due to it's popularity plus it closes at 2pm which is the typical time for small diners. Food is very good. It can get a bit loud during peak times and be prepared to wait after giving your name, note the waiting area is very small but worth the wait !!!“

“We went to Angelina’s for dinner on Halloween night. Impeccable is how I would describe the experience. The drink menu was incredible, food was truly shareable with portion sizes that reflect the price.

The carrots and the arancini are heavenly and not to be missed. I was so into the meal that I forgot to take photos, save one of the short rib!

Go the Angelina’s!“

“A++ all around, staff knows what they are doing“

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

“The food is amazing. The service is great, and the eggnog latte is to die for.“

“Stepping through the doors of TK's I felt as though I had wandered into a dream—one where candlelight glows like captured starlight and the air itself seems perfumed with possibility. Yet even in a place so artfully enchanted, nothing could have prepared me for the poutine that arrived before me like a revelation on porcelain. This was not merely poutine. This was a culinary sonnet, a whisper from the gastronomic heavens. A dish so sublime it felt almost mischievous to call it by its familiar name. The Wisconsin cheese curds announced themselves with unapologetic pride. You could taste their birthplace—lush dairy fields, cows humming contentedly, the whole pastoral romance. Each curd held its integrity just long enough to declare, “Yes, I am from Wisconsin,” before surrendering into a gentle, buttery melt that can only be described as perfection liquefied. They didn’t just melt—they blossomed across the warm potatoes in creamy, celestial ribbons. And then there was the demi-glace. Oh, the demi-glace. Calling it a “half” anything feels adorably modest. This sauce was appropriately named only because it is indeed better than half of a glace—it may be better than all of them. A rich, velvety pool of umami velvet, it cascaded over the fries with the elegance of a silk gown in motion. Deep, complex, and infinitely comforting, it managed to be both bold and tender at once, like a secret told in a familiar voice. And what of the phrase “better than Canada”? Risky, perhaps. Blasphemous to some. But after a forkful of this poutine—this enchanted mosaic of potato, curd, and demi-decadence—I found myself whispering it involuntarily. Not out of disrespect for our northern culinary champions, but because sometimes a creation transcends borders and loyalties altogether. This poutine is not better than Canada because it compares itself— It is better because it dares not. It simply is. In short, the dish is a masterpiece. A warm, glowing, cheese-laden love letter to indulgence itself. If a restaurant can be judged by its poutine, then TK's is nothing short of the north star of flavorful delirium. The view of the falls isn't demi bad either.“

“Great breakfast and fantastic service.“

“Service was phenomenal! Everything is homemade including drinks and is so delicious!“

“Grew up in Rochester and this is was a really good, classic garbage plate. Add a bit more seasoning the mac salad and it would be 10/10“

“so good!!! have ordered from here twice and the food has been amazing. the b.o.b burger is by far the best burger ive ever had and the salad is fresh and topped with a lot! so excited to try new things.“

“The atmosphere and food is so good. Excellent service and wonderful dining experience all around.“

“Great food, great service. Very nice atmosphere. The owner came to our table 3 times just to check on us.“

“Too expensive in the food's not as good as it used to be“

“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

“always great...!! been coming here for near 50 years 🙂“

“Food, atmosphere, server very good! Bruce picture of mimosas is where it's at. My only reason it's not 5 stars is that we had a weird miscommunication with he server. 2 people at the table asked for a side of churros and the other had chicken and churro entree. The server came over and said that they can't do the churros and so the person with the chicken and churros ordered side of fries instead and they 2 others with the sides of churros asked for sides of bacon instead. Fast forward, all of us got our entress instead of 1 person. They waited 15 minutes longer than everyone else. Then all of a sudden 3 sides of churros came out. The server said ok the kitchen is trying these. So now at this point everyone had their replacement sides and now 3 sides of churros. We assumed they "were testing them" since that's what the server said and they would be on the house since now that's too much food. But when we got the bill we were charged for the curros and the other sides. It was just confusing overall with the communication on that and then also we got charged for sides and the cjurros when we wanted 1 or the other not both. The manager, which I think is the owner was very nice and they comped the churros. It sounded like the server told them that we didn't like the churros, but it was more of the principle of being charged. Would definitely go back, I would never hold a miscommunication against a restaurant, but just wanted to voice a few things. Overall cool new spot“

“My husband and I don’t make it into the city too often, but when we do, Roam on Park Ave is always a go-to. The food and drinks are always great, and I’m obsessed with their espresso martinis! We came in a few weeks ago and had Kylee as our server — she was fantastic and made the whole night even better. Thanks for another awesome visit!“

“Ate here while visiting family in the area. Service was excellent and the food was great. I ordered the Cajun catfish with Harlem potato salad and coleslaw as my choice of sides. A server brought us a plate of BBQ samples to try. Everything was good. On-street parking available plus a nearby parking ramp (for a fee). The place was noisy but had a great vibe.“

“Every time my fiance and I go to Rochester which is pretty far from us we try to stop at Nick Tahou's. They are always so friendly there. One of the workers was talking to my toddler and making him laugh. Love everything about this place. And the food is always a 10/10“

“Late-Night Gem: Hungry in Pittsford, NY

After 9:30 PM, finding a spot for a quick and delicious bite can feel like a challenge, but Hungry in Pittsford delivered beyond expectations. I ordered their Hungry Wrap, Italian Sausage, and Platter Combo, and they whipped everything up in no time!

The Platter Combo was a crispy, indulgent medley of fried treats, cooked to perfection and paired with tangy sauces. The Hungry Wrap was a cheesy, flavorful delight—each bite was a symphony of fresh ingredients and bold seasonings. The Italian Sausage was packed with hearty flavors, perfectly balanced by caramelized onions and peppers in a soft, crusty roll.

Every dish was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Hungry not only nailed the taste but also the speed—an ideal spot for late-night cravings. If you’re ever in Pittsford and need a quick yet satisfying meal, don’t miss this place.“

“These people are family, every Saturday morning. They food is delicious, rotating and seasonal specials. It wouldn’t be a Saturday morning without Gina and Stephanie!!“

“Went in with my family for the first time since the new owners opened in December 2024, amazing food & drinks! had an amazing experience with our waitress Nicole! she was so friendly and helpful! she recommended the artichoke & broccoli french appetizer & the brussel sprouts, she was spot on wen she said “it’s the best french sauce you will have” , the brussel sprouts, OMG! absolutely amazing! they were cooked and seasoned perfectly! We also ordered wings & she recommended the Sweet Heat BBQ for the sauce , & it is the perfect mix of heat & sweet ! Cocktails & Mocktails were delicious! Nicole gave us an amazing dining experience! We cannot wait to go back & try the smash burgers & fish fry’s! We will definitely be asking for Nicole as our waitress!!“

“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.“

“Attended food truck Tuesday in Larkin Square…got the caprese Mac and cheese…..phenomenal! Fast friendly service!“

“My boyfriend and I had decided to do a lunch date here today. It was our first time. It was a great experience, the food was great, with good prices. The atmosphere was nice and calm, and the restaurant clean. The server was friendly and made us feel welcome (I do not remember her name but it was a blonde woman) We will definitely be back!“

“The food is AMAZING! First things first, they are open on Mondays when nearly everything else is closed. Second: I had the fried chicken sandwich with side salad. The chicken had a light batter, perfectly cooked-tender and juicy. The salad was made with kale, shaved brussels, red peppers and the dressing was so delish! My partner had the chicken pot pie that had large pieces of chicken and lots of veggies with a tasty pie crust. He said it was the perfect hot dish for a freezing cold January night. Third…the old fashioned cocktails were perfectly crafted. Bonus: Happy hour drinks 4p-7p. Thanks for a great meal on a night when we didn’t want to cook but wanted delicious food.“

“Delicious. Great service. Definitely coming back.“

“All you can eat, allergy accommodating dining hall that puts it's students first. The staff is really welcoming and always says hello. You can get everything including pasta, the wok station, salad, fruit, soup, burgers and fries, sandwiches, desserts, ice cream, fresh bagels and English muffins, and whatever the hot entree's of the day are. Lackmann is always trying to find new and exciting things for students and loves getting feedback. Overall, a fantastic dining hall on campus!“

“its the best, great way to meet people and talk about your pursuits“

“I’ve never had oxtails until coming here today, and the meat and gravy had my 15 month old and I licking our fingers. They know what they’re doing 👍🏽
The jerk chicken was 1 of the best flavored chicken I’ve ever had in my life, and the beef patty was so comforting. Delicious and outstanding food! Thank you for feeding us 🤎“

“When my family is in Rochester we always make a trip to drifters!“

“Excellent service Friendly staff“

“Super friendly staff with amazing food. I appreciated the diverse menu and had the smash burger. It was PERFECT. I wish I lived closer because I’d eat my way through the menu and The Old Stone Tavern would be a regular spot. If you’re a local that hasn’t discovered this gem, run, don’t walk. If you’re just passing through Rochester and want to try a local place with amazing eats, find the nearest exit.“

“Visited from out of state and was told I needed to try a plate. Quite the culinary experience! I’ll definitely be back again when I’m in the area.“

“Absolutely delicious breakfast - beautiful, fresh and so so tasty! Service was fantastic - will definitely return!!“

“Long overdue - needed to get some plates to go - road trip to Syracuse AND the owners (husband and wife) packed everything the way I needed it to go in a cooler. Warmed it all up 7 hours later and the plates were perfect! Portions are huge, taste is fantastic! Grateful customer since the mid 90’s.“

“showed up for dinner and they aren't open anymore“

“We love the Red Fern! The food is delicious and the baked goods are AMAZING. Our all-time-favorites are the hot chicken sandwich and every single cake they make, but everything else is great too. We also love their kombucha options.“

“Catina & Grille is one of the best restaurants on the RIT campus for students to have breakfast and lunch. I visit the restaurant twice a week, and my favorite dish is the burrito Rice Bowl. This dish is a perfect mixture of all the healthy ingredients, and they add a variety of protein, like chicken, beef, pork, etc. The restaurant's ambiance is excellent; people can work on their laptops while enjoying the food. The restaurant service is up to the mark from 12:30 to 2:30 PM. There is a huge crowd of customers at the restaurant, so your order can be delayed due to the same, but apart from that, the overall experience at Catina & Grille is excellent. I highly recommend people living in Rochester and nearby areas visit Catina and Grille and especially try my favorite dish, "Burrito Rice Bowl."“

“Absolute gem of a restaurant. My wife and I have been here ~7 times since mid summer when we discovered it, and have only had great experiences. We typically share 3-4 appetizers and/or one of the specials, and every time leave so satisfied. The vibe at the bar is also lovely and the specialty drinks were great (Manhattan & espresso martini are the go to). Highly recommend this place“
