“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.“

“Delicious. My family has never had a problem. My favorite part of Rucks is all the different kinds of pizzas. So much more variety than just pepperoni and cheese.“

“First time there. Recommended by my friends. Took the lady of the house out for her Birthday, . Very satisfied, with the service and food. Bathrooms very clean and well kept. Great atmosphere. Had the pizza and Mahi Mahi. Alos the steak salad, Just remember to say how you like your meat. Or it will be served on the rare side. Will surely good back without hesitation.“

“Decided to celebrate a special occasion so we chose this place. We had dined here before the current management and had great experiences. We informed the host that this was our first encounter here and were looking forward to it. We were seated in a VERY noisy area (we are older and most older folks appreciate a quieter dining environment usually). However, we were moved to a quieter table upon request. Which was wise as we had alternate plans if the seating wasn't suitable for us. When we are spending upwards of 200.00 for a meal out we expect a certain level of service. Our meals were very good, but the 'extras', bread and salad were lacking in substance and quality I'm afraid. Our server was adequate but not as attentive as we would have liked. (restaurant was not particularly busy at that time (5:00 PM). We will probably return here at some point but as there are so many other local options for dining out we will pursue those before returning here. Thank you.“

“We just had an spectacular dinner at Horizons to celebrate our son's graduation! From the moment we entered the restaurant everyone was kind, welcoming and so accommodating!! We had the salt bread, flatbread andcrab cakes for appetizer that we shared, all excellent. I had the pork chop and all I can say is WOW! And the desserts were phenomenal! The best part? The service! Aga, our waitress, was warm and friendly and helped us pick the perfect dishes, Christy and Andy made us delicious cocktails and Valentin and Maddie made sure our cups were always full.
My only negative about the whole experience is that we haven't been here sooner!! Can't wait to be back!!!“

“My elderly dad was having a fit about his Beef on Wek sandwich not being right, after I explained to him that it was, but two different management people very patiently worked with him on it three different times and tried to get it to what his expectations were. I was losing patience and never really got to eat my meal because I was attending to dad. I just wanted to thank you (at the Avon location) for helping me through this and not making it worse! Thanks“

“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."“

The food was impeccable, the service was amazing (thank you Gabriel) and the atmosphere was very nice. The entire staff was very helpful and friendly, ensuring you had a great experience all around.

Just off the beaten path, but definitely worth it!“

If you are looking for a quiet but quaint place to get a bite to eat in the Fairport area don’t hesitate to stop in here. Five stars all the way!“

“We had a great time and experience here at Petals. They have a great selection of food to order. We got the appetizer called the munchies. The appetizer called the munchies is the perfect combination of a little bit of everything on the appetizer menu all on one dish. The service was good and fast. The bartender was very friendly, attentive, and is very good at what he does. The atmosphere is very laid back lounge feel. Petals is inside the hotel. Both sides of Petals is very laid back.“

“During my recent stay at the Hilton Hotel, I had the pleasure of experiencing the bartending services at their stunning garden bar. The ambiance of the tranquil setting was enhanced by the remarkable skills of their bartender, Jeff.Moreover, their ability to engage with guests, and making you feel welcomed. He walked me through his years of experience with the hotel and it was quite comforting.“

The waitress and waiter is always attentive and polite. At this location you don't have to wait a long time to be seated and serve.“

“Family Fathers Day Dinner party of 12 and our server Christie C was wonderful! We had to wait 50 minutes for a table but that is to be expected when you have a large party. The restaurant was very busy but she kept us informed of the delays with our food and was attentive to our drink refills. She also made us laugh and we just enjoyed her personality. She was patient in straightening out the checks as to who order was on whose receipt and she volunteered to take our group picture. Just overall great experience!“

“Took our 10 year old for his birthday on a whim, and the waitress (I wish I remembered her name) asked us if we were there for anything special. After telling her it was his birthday, she came back a few minutes later telling us she got a “personal call from Dave & Busters and they wanted to give this very special boy a free play pass”. He was SO excited and it made him feel extra special on his day, so we really appreciate that. He even got a light up ice cube and gummy worms in his drink, and he was so happy.“

“Good burger and great server named Kelly. 😎“
