“My family of 7 celebrated my daughter's birthday here on Friday, March 4.... a large variety of food choices were ordered by us and everyone was very pleased.Our server was great and very patient; even considering that it was Friday! The staff were happy to help us with the birthday cake and a song, too.? The menu is quite diverse and we all look forward to going back to sample some fish or veal.“

“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.“

“Great food!!! Great service“

“Great happy hours with $1 oysters every day . Classic and contemporary cocktails that are pleasing to the eye and palette. Great appetizers, and excellent plates till relatively late . Will completely change your mind about a hotel bar. Great Jazz and a patio in better weather. One of my favorite bars in Rochester!“

“This place was great! I mean, walking in was almost like a portal. The aesthetic was on point for a spiritual parlor with so many interesting and detailed poems and art to take in. And the drinks, omyyy.. seriously, among the best crafted drinks I have ever had. My partner and I both enjoyed immensely.. a+!! The drink menu is super interesting to read, with a light intro into the origins of the spiritualist movement. And, you can ask to pull a tarot card to drink for whatever the universe calls for. Speaking of tarot, Seamus was on the corner doing readings.. and mannn was he legit. He has a reverence for the cards and life in general. I really appreciated his knowledge and outlooks. The owner, Jake, has put so much energy and heart into this parlor, and he runs it effortlessly. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you are into spiritual practices of any kind. Oh, and shoutout to Henry on the old piano. What a treat to add to the atmosphere.“

“Marge’s Lakeside Inn is a magical place that has the vibes of a tropical paradise and a bar named Cheers! Francine, Fran, Ron & Marge, together built this fun, relaxing & memorable haven that has become engrained in our hearts and memories. ❤️“

“Great rooftop bar. Great service and good food. Cocktail and food menu have been more limited after the pandemic, but you can't beat the views. For example, the limited bar seating faces the sunrise over the Rochester city line.Bartenders know their craft though, don't be afraid to order cocktails off-menu.Pro-tip: Call ahead, as the rooftop venue is often reserved for special events.“

“Nice little bar known for "kocktails" - it was a fun after work stop at a long day with a friend. There weren't other patrons there when we arrived, but that picked up, and we left with the place still full. The downside of the cute and newly renovated space was how cold the AC was!“

“OMG! Had no idea how great this place is. The food, ambience and service were excellent tonight. Highly recommend checking it out. Outstanding food!“

“Love this place! When I go there during weeknight evenings it's quiet and slow which is nice ambiance but I'm always afraid they don't have business. My friends says it's hopping on the weekends tho! The nice brunette lady at the counter was very sweet and said how unpaid for my first was romantic, very thoughtful of her to say ?“

“Late night arrival into Rochester on a Tuesday evening and I chanced upon Branca Midtown via Resy. We took a chance and I am so so glad we did. This place was divine. The host and the servers were impeccable. Sassy, funny, and attentive to a T, we were incredibly impressed and immediately relaxed with the atmosphere and the people. The ricotta appetizer was incredibly and reminded me of a favorite dish in Florence Italy, and the swordfish was perfection. Drinks were delicious, so thank you to the obviously talented bartender, as those were very much needed after our long drive. We will definitely make a point of stopping back then next time we are in town.“

“Lenore’s is a rare gem where the service truly outshines even the great food - don’t miss the baby Brussels, they’re to die for! However, the real highlight of our night was our server, Fred. They were simply wonderful: kind, sweet, and genuinely fun, keeping my partner + I laughing all night!

Also, HUGE shoutout to the entire team!! I left my wallet there on a crazy-busy Friday night, and when I went back on Saturday, they had it safe and sound, untouched. This place has great vibes, great food, and an even better crew. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Exceptional! Great food and service!“

“First time there - the food is AMAZING! Some of the best food I’ve ever had. So reminiscent of El Ricon, but yet different. Huge and intriguing menu. The quesadillas are so delicious as are the sopes, & chile rellenos..the flan is creamy & caramel and the chocolate dulce de leche is sinful. If you haven’t been - GO… does not disappoint! I’ll be back for sure.“

“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.“

Thank you Branca, for our special night!“

“Always packed with a trendy customer base because the food and atmosphere are A+.“

“Very attentive staff. All of their food is made in-house, so it’s nice and fresh and of the highest quality. I had their wings, Buffalo Mac and cheese, a mule, and crustless cheesecake. All of which were FANTASTIC. Very lovely decor and well-maintained. The food is expensive, but you’re getting what you pay for. I recommend this place all across the board!“
