“A Gem in Rochester! Came back to my hometown and had a surprise dinner party for my mother last night for a party of 9. The food was excellent, and the staff was wonderful. My daughter hand picked some flowers to give to her grandmother, and the waitress went back and came out with a vase for her to set her flowers in. They even took our store bought cake, cut it up and brought it back out looking like the fanciest dessert ever- drizzling with some deliciousness! Kudos to the Chef, and thank you to all at Rooney’s who made our evening so successful and such a memorable experience!“

Parking: Shared parking with other surrounding stores

Kid-friendliness: Highchairs available and great kid menu

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't have a wheelchair but I do have a stroller and teying to get it in there and move around is rather difficult.“

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

“I love the steak Bomber sandwich 🍔“

“burgers are awesome I would definitely recommend“

“This is by far the best plate in Rochester!! The garbage plate wrap is AMAZING! They also have a sauce called panther sauce that elevates the plate! The only suggestion I have is they need to figure out the phone situation. I feel like they unplug the phones on purpose so they don’t have to take more orders. This makes it hard when wanting to order ahead, we have to drive there and hope for the best when it comes to a wait time. Other then that I HIGHLY recommend!“

“Wonderful little pub! The plates we got were amazing and huge. The workers were nice and attentive to us as soon as we walked inside. Everything was clean and as soon as another table left the workers were cleaning it up. A nice place for a quick lunch and a drink.“

“Never a bad meal or experience. THE place to go for a consistently great meal. If anything is not right, Ken and the staff will bend over backwards to please, just don't be shy. Mac and cheese is amazing. Now I'm hungry and will be going tonight!
Had the Mac and Cheese with Cajun chicken. OMG! Wife had the rice bowl with chicken. Great menu addition.“

“We visited the restaurant yesterday for the first time. I had a trash plate, and my husband had a chicken finger basket. The plate was really good! The meat sauce was sweeter than it was hot, which I prefer. The burgers looked hand made. The chicken fingers were light and crunchy and you could tell they were cooked in clean fryers! The staff was very friendly, and we really enjoyed the whole dinner. We even started chatting with the table next to us, and liked how the entire atmosphere was so nice! They had drink specials which I would like to try sometime, including an espresso martini. We go to a lot of restaurants, and usually avoid ones with bars but I would go back to Creekside Inn again. I was very impressed with our whole experience.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Today we had a problem with a takeout order at Flaherty's. The order we picked up was inaccurate. We called and the person who answered said to come back in a few minutes. When we returned we were greeted by the manager who offered his apologies for the mishap and offered to give us a free meal for our inconvenience. In summation: A problem resolved! Thank you Flaherty's, see you soon!“

The rooms are clean and tidy, quiet nights rest , breakfast is always good and we were on our way again.Will. be using this hotel again ! Again a big Thank You to Diamond, definitely an asset to the hotel.“

“manager should be a little more of a team player. I had a lunch special and my server was awesome and the food was great but you could tell that the manager was stressed and could have helped out her staff a little more. The bar tenders name is Mynisha she was AWESOME!“

“Delicious. Great service. Definitely coming back.“

“Went in late tonight and was greeted by the kindest young lady I’ve ever met! Lindsay was very kind, and she explained the menu very well for it being my first time in there! She had a smile that was infectious when I first walked in. She was patient when I changed my order 3 different times! She was just such a lovely person to talk to! The cooks did amazing job with the food and tasted all so well! Good job Lindsay for making me feel so welcomed! I can see that you really love your job, and good job to your boss for letting you love your job so much! I’ll definitely be back. 💕“

“Sunday brunch on the Erie Canal before heading for the Syracuse Crunch vs. Rochester Americans hockey game. Great service by Maggie, who is very friendly. The ham/cheese omelette was delicious as was my wife's all-american breakfast. Look forward to dining here again soon.“

“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.“

“Best milk and eggnog there is!“

“Crazy that folks have a bad experience here. This place was phenomenal. I sat at the bar and had a great steak with a bottle of Napa wine. Small talk with the gentlemen behind the bar about the area was very knowledgeable. My coworker had the pork chop which he rant and raved about the excellent flavor all evening long. Business brought me here, but rest and relaxation will bring me back. Thank you for the hospitality.“

“fantastic!! Highly recommend!!“

“My friend and I went there for dessert and a beverage. The selection was outstanding. I ordered the Viennese Mirangue Torte, it was delicious. My friend has the raspberry cheesecake, she said it too was delicious. The service & attention from the waitress was excellent. We are planning on going again.“

“We had a table of six, we all enjoyed our food. The portions are generous and the service was excellent!“

“Great food and awesome waitresses!“

“Ok…let’s discuss…. The best wegmans ever. That’s it. Small and has everything you need. Have been shopping here for 20 years. Even though everyone loves Wegmans already…just something special about this store with its original sign and smaller space. ❤️“

“Michael's Valley Grill is a warm, welcoming bar/restaurant with a nice ambience, which is important to people like me, who appreciate subtle lighting over brightly lit rooms. The current owner and staff are friendly and attentive, professional but not stuffy. There are some booths in the dining area that are somewhat private, and tables with white table cloths that feel elegant but not overly fancy. Or, one can choose to sit at a table in the bar area. Tonight we chose to dine at the cozy bar. There are black board specials but honestly, the regular menu is diverse and with plenty to choose from. Today I had panko breaded chicken Romano with mozzarella and tomato sauce over penne and it was wonderful. Everything is good there. You leave feeling comfortably pampered after having had a unique and special dining experience.“

“The wait was long due to the busyness, but checking out the merchandise in the shop was very nice and sped up the wait time. The hostesses were very kind and accommodating. Then, with a party of 6, we had the BEST of the BEST server, Latisha! It was a pleasure having her serve us, as she was friendly, always with a smile, efficient, caring, and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable! THANK YOU, LATISHA!! Also, the food was excellent!“

“We Just had breakfast at Sunny’s and besides the fabulous food I have never seen a waitress as attentive, friendly, cheerful, just simply awesome. Heather! Thank you for your excellent service and friendly personality. We will be back!“

“I had the cocktail, poison fruit, cocomo sushi truffle fries.“

“Awesome food! The Macs breakfast plate is the best!“

“Ate there last night. Service was good. Manager Julie super friendly and welcoming. 3 of us had fish fries, 2 battered, 1 breaded. Large portions but a bit overcooked. Coleslaw portion small though. Broccoli with garlic butter had a topping that was a bit salty until I mixed it up. Delicious. Super attentive waitress. Never had to ask for a refill of ice tea she'd bring it upon noticing it was getting low. Wedge salad ginormous!! Almost entire head of lettuce!! Friendly staff and good service. Definitely going back for a 2nd try on the fish.“

“Reunion of a few hockey players from the 1970's for lunch today . Our waitress was Molly and she was (Johnny on the Spot) from ordering to getting refills on our drinks . We were very pleased with the Tenders , French Onion soup and the Burgers ! Even the popcorn was great . The $11.99 lunch menu was perfect . Molly was one step ahead of us whatever we needed and it cost us about HALF of what we paid at Distillery on our previous lunch .

Parking: Lots of parking“
