“Wow this place does some business! Standing room only as you wait for a table. Constant stream of patrons coming and going. And through it all the staff proficiently manages the seating, service, take out and more. Our party of 5 only had to wait 15-20 minutes at 9 on a Saturday, fortunately. Service was friendly and spot on accurate. Great tempo to return to refill drinks. Food was very good and plentiful from omelets to quesadillas to sandwiches our crew was very satisfied. My husband was thrilled when he saw the fried bologna special. Even happier when he ordered it! Only thing that could be improved was the bagel. Looked and tasted like a genetic previously frozen grocery store bagel; definitely not an authentic NY bagel. Server wad prompt in taking and delivering our to go orders, too. Nice and hot for our departure. Usual diner-esque layout with booths and counter. Clean and spacious. Abundance of free parking.”

“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”

“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!”

“Outstanding food including presentation, Excellent Cocktails, worthy of more recognition, faultless service . Only major fault is the noise level in the main dining area - It is ridiculously loud for a luxe type restaurant and setting . We almost fled altogether as it would have been a stressful undertaking- We were persuaded by the Maitre D to try the bar which was an island of tranquility separated by a glass partition. The bartender was a delight , knowledgeable and extremely talented , who produced a series of faultless and faultlessly executed cocktails. Overall an outstanding restaurant but sit at the bar and enjoy the banter and ambiance there, not the maelstrom of the main dining area- a disappointing but avoidable fault in an otherwise stellar dining experience for Rochester.”

“Not only were the employees very kind, the food itself was wonderful for my first visit. We also got one of the chocolate chip vegan cookies and it is EASILY the best cookie I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect to like it so much (I’m not even vegan! It just looks yummy 🤭). Lovely little place with adorable animal photos throughout also. Employee was kind when I asked for an explanation for them. Loved finding out it’s a community board of loved pets alive and those also lost. They stated the community could bring in a photo of their pet to place on the wall. Great to see that small moment of recognizing the community and being involved to create that memorial & funny moments for the animals! Thanks for a great experience. For sure will be back.”

“My server Christine was absolutely amazing and attentive throughout my experience, I was impressed with her professionalism and good energy, so much so that it enraged me when I overheard the bartender, Mischa yelled across the bar at Christine to “pay attention to the door” where she looked away for a millisecond. As someone who has worked in restaurants for over 10 years I felt the tension in the employees interactions the moment I walked in and didn’t understand why until I heard Mischa being disrespectful to Christine. I took the time to ask him to come over and I expressed my concerns and he claimed he would apologize however I highly doubt that he will”

They happily added me back without issue. I am also hearing impaired. She gave us a table against the wall to accommodate us. All of our food was delicious and our waitress was one of the best servers we’ve had in a while. I am so happy to have this nice restaurant so close to home. It was very loud. I know that they are making changes to help with that issue. The noise was still worth it.”

Had the smoked pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. A phenomenal pairing Tried the bbq spaghetti which nearly blew me outta my seat!!! The bbq sauce was epic! @strangebird you need to shrink the size of the bbq spaghetti to a fries size and server them with the handhelds in place of French fries with that bbq sauce. Cuz heck yes! That bbq sauce on the side as a dipper 🤩🤩🤩. Great job to the staff. Bigger vehicles might wanna park on the street. If it’s busy, the parking lot is very narrow.”

“Hungy's Grill is Pittsford's local hole-in-the-wall eatery that offers great food at a good price. My wife and I ordered their Cowboy Burger and 5 Alarms Burger. Both burgers were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Their menu really plays up their 5 Alarms Burger, enough so that it felt like the adventurous option to choose. In reality, it was a pretty straightforward burger with some jalapeños and hot sauce to give it a little bit of kick. This burger was tasty, but it won't have you scrambling for a beverage or cause your nose to run. Our 2 burgers and a drink cost about $21, without any sides.”
