“Delicious food with reasonable prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful interior design!“

“This was our first time trying The Gate House and we were impressed! We came on a Thursday afternoon with no reservation and were seated right away. Our server was prompt and attentive immediately and continued through the duration of our meal. We tried the Xerox pizza as well as the Duffy burger and both were 10/10! Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend!“

“Tried pot roast, fried mozz, chicken tenders & crab cakes. All amazing. Highly recommend.“

“It was apparent that the new owner Vickie wants to change the whole vibe and not for the better. She could care less about accomadting you with options & if you have any food allergies. I do not recommend Nosh, not the same restaurant and feel its a turn for the worst. One out of the four meals one was acceptable we had 12/14/2023.The waitress very sweet but felt she was as frustrated as we were. Vickie the owner made no effort to accommodate us and was almost rude.I will pass this along, is a small coummiity in Rochester. Any postive reviews you read are prior to Vickie taking over restuarant.“

“Crispy Eggplant Parm Sandwich w/ House Chips and Chocolate Coconut Mousse were all delicious, and the service that I received from Ian was both welcoming and attentive. This was the first time that I’ve been out to eat in a while, when I didn’t have to worry so much about compromising flavor, in place of excessive dairy and meats. The Owl House is a winner- I’ll definitely be back! 🤤👍🏼“

“The menu never disappoints. Creative and fresh. The dishes are inspiring and delicious.“

“Really the best night out with my girlfriend!! The food was outstanding but the dessert was AMAZING!! It was a smoked s’mores affogato. Over all the food the staff was amazing. Out waiter Kiril was so attentive and the best waiter ever!! Elise the junior sommelier was great too. They also had a live band playing Xmas music that was so festive. I can’t wait to comeback!!“

“We visited Elevated Sol when the bar was open but the kitchen was closed for the night. Even so, we had a wonderful time chatting with Yvonne and Henry, two incredibly sweet and passionate people. They clearly love creating a warm, welcoming experience for their guests. They even let us sample some empanadas and plantains, which were absolutely delicious. My wife and I truly enjoyed ourselves. The cocktails were excellent, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere is unique, cozy, and classy. We’re looking forward to coming back.“

“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.“

“LOVED THE FOOD!! So good and the atmosphere is amazing! Such great service“

“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!“

“This is the greatest diner ever. The food is excellent and you are treated like family by the servers and the greeter.“

“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!“

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

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

“Great food!!! Great service“

“Great food, service and Friendly.“

“Whoever is behind the menu is a shaolin master. This food hits like Inspectah Deck dropping that iconic verse in Triumph. Like Kung Fu classics, I would stand in the rain for a hundred days straight to learn from the Master. The drinks are bomb as well. This has quickly become my favorite watering hole.“

“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.“

“Nasturtium decoration on the soup. Both were yummy.“

“Good bar with great music!“

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

“Innovative way of preparing yummy sandwiches with the choice of bed of greens. And people who work there are friendly and patient!“

“We just had the best experience! From booking a reservation, parking right out front, AWESOME wait staff. The food... every single bite of every single thing we ordered was FANTASTIC. We will absolutely be back!“

“Fun place to have delicious drinks and food. Swiftwater offers a great atmosphere, tasty drinks and food. We got the Irish nachos and Asian wings, everything had an incredible flavor. The wings were cooked perfectly, they were crispy but also juicy. Great place to come and hang out.“

“First time ever having iced chai but it was so good, kinda tasted like a s’more, Shirley temple was also really good :). I have yet to try any food but I’d imagine it’d taste just as good as their drinks. Their service is quick, especially for little things like drinks. The atmosphere is nice and the live music is pretty good.“

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

“Great food, great service, awesome flavor, fresh!“

“We went here for a date night and could not have chosen a better place! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was attentive but not too much so. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Went there for my anniversary. The staff were so welcoming and were happy to celebrate with us. Our waitress Meghan was very friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was classy and comfortable. The bartender Wyatt made fantastic drinks which was the cherry on top for this experience! Would absolutely go back!“

“Fantastic food as always!! Duck was cooked perfectly!“

“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!“

“We have done a 7 day canal trip. in these days, we have eaten at 3 different Irish Pubs. Mulconry's is truly something special. Best fish and chips we have ever had for one thing and the Irish Poutine brought tears to our eyes.“

“Just love this place in the summer!! It’s always like a HS reunion !“

“The staff and the bar were top notch. Cocktails and food were excellent. We will be back.“

“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.“

“Hands down the wings are amazing... the owner is very personable and all about his establishment!“

“We stopped in for lunch today at Fruit &Salad Co. and had a lovely lunch. The food was delicious as was the service! The manager was friendly and available to the customers. They have a wide variety of soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts. The dinner menu look wonderful too. We specifically picked this restaurant for their vegetarian options. 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!“

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

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

“Wow this lace is fantastic. We had a graduation party here. Venue was perfect with easy parking and a beautiful space. But then the staff, you can’t find better. Fast service, the best espresso martinis martini’s, old fashioned’s, and they remember you every time you cane up. Just a beautiful space, with amazing staff. Don’t think twice, book it now!“
