“I tried Galicia for the first time last night and I cannot recommend them enough! Their service, efficiency, atmosphere, and most importantly THE FOOD (!!!!) -- WOW. I have not had audible responses to an entire meal perhaps ever? It was outrageously amazing. Please go support these incredible folks - their heart and dedication is so reflected in the quality of what they do.”
“Ate here while visiting family in the area. Service was excellent and the food was great. I ordered the Cajun catfish with Harlem potato salad and coleslaw as my choice of sides. A server brought us a plate of BBQ samples to try. Everything was good. On-street parking available plus a nearby parking ramp (for a fee). The place was noisy but had a great vibe.”
“We are from out of town but visit ROC frequently because our son plays on the Jr. Amerks Juniors/NAHL team. He and some teammates discovered this place and go there for lunch literally every day they have home games. This place is the best-family owned and operated, great food great prices, great service! Tiramisu is my favorite thing in the world and Mamma G’s tiramisu is the best I have ever had. Carlo is the bomb!”

“What a great evening we had celebrating out son’s birthday. We received excellent instructions and had lots of time to practice before they taught us some games. We enjoyed a family birthday shot to celebrate! Great place and we’ll definitely be back.”

“We used Caramel for our wedding desserts! My husband and I had a special connection to Caramel, since we had a lot of date nights there, so we knew we wanted them to be involved. They were very easy to work with. Very responsive over email. We did a little tasting box and were able to pick exactly what we wanted. We picked up the desserts the day before the wedding and they were ready on time. The mini desserts were perfect for what we wanted for our guests and SO delicious. My mom won’t stop asking if we have more carrot cake truffles hidden somewhere! They also did our small cutting cake which was delicious. Highly recommend them!”
“Highly recommend Rochester NY Wedding Cakes. They did a beautiful butterfly themed cake for my sister’s bridal shower. It was exactly what we were looking for - gorgeous and delicious too!”
“Had the Crab Rangoon mozzarella sticks and they were amazing! They were apart of the spring specials and my family highly recommends. The portion sizes for eveything was great, everyone left with a togo box and our server was SO nice and helpful. We will definitely be visiting here again! ❤️”
“The people here are very nice and helpful, between shake recommendations, meal prep suggestions and their other resources. I highly recommend them (+ the PB&Jacked shake!!!)”
“Chicken Milanese is my favorite dish. I order it at every restaurant that has it on their menu. In my opinion, Cristo's version is the best in Rochester!!!”
“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 did a morning hike near Lake Ontario and stopped here for lunch. My wife had gyro sandwich and I had a burger with eggplant sauce and red lentil soup. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent and VERY pleasant. We would definitely enjoy eating here again.”

“I recently dined at a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant and had an exceptional experience, largely thanks to an employee named Yamen. From the moment we arrived, Yamen greeted us with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm, making us feel right at home.
The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, with a lovely mix of traditional and modern decor. We started with the veggie combo platter, which was a delightful assortment of hummus, baba ganoush, and fresh pita. Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.
Yamen was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful recommendations. I opted for the kofta kebabs, which were perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. My dining companion chose the falafel wrap, which was equally delicious and satisfying.
For dessert, we indulged in baklava that was sweet and flaky—a perfect end to our meal. Overall, the combination of delicious food and exceptional service from Yamen made this visit memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Mediterranean cuisine!”
“I went to Carmen’s cooking for the first time this afternoon with friends. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by the owner Andy. He is such a friendly host! He took the time to point out what the foods are, what combinations they come in and answer any questions I had. The food was absolutely wonderful. It is authentic and down home Puerto Rican cooking. I was impressed with the food but even more impressed with Andy and his wife Carmen who own the restaurant. I could tell their hard workers and take their customer service very seriously. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Went for an after funeral luncheon. The food was fabulous and the staff so courteous, kind and accommodating. Such a great experience.”
“Visited Strangebird today. And the atmosphere is great! Full service bar. Or tables available for larger groups. The food amazing. Our bartender Dee was epic!! 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.”

“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!”
“All aspects of our dining experience were excellent; food, wine, service, atmosphere. Their menu is fairly brief but they put attention into each dish and it shows. We had the olives, both menu salads, the gnudi, and the Sunday sauce.
I make a Sunday sauce I've been refining for years, and tasting theirs has suggested a new approach for me, just great. The bill was very reasonable considering the quality of the experience.
Angelina's is a real gem, a terrific upgrade to this location.”
“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.”
“I ordered the birria tacos...they were pretty good...but that fried rice!!! Hibachi who?!?! I swear I hope it's that good the next time I order...it was excellent!!”
“Hands down my favorite korean/restaurant in general in the roc area. I’ve been coming here consistently for over 6 years now. I am korean, and this is closest to my grandmothers cooking. I cannot say good enough things about this place. The servers are great, the food is delicious every single time, and the restaurant is cute/cozy. You get what you pay for and more, portions are huge.”
“We hosted our wedding reception here and had absolutely the best night! We had a list of demands and things that really needed to be done and Kristen made every one of them work. Every guest we had was amazed and loved the space and the atmosphere. The drinks were delicious and they were flexible on when we were able to open and close our tab. We would absolutely host another event here!”

“Restaff everyone with people who actually cares about their job. when an employee throws their head set on the counter then leans on the register like it's their home, I don't want to eat or give them my hard earned money. Also they can't even get orders right or even know who they made orders for.”

“In 2021, I had to manage our company picnic which included the meat choice. I live now in Greensboro, NY and knew of Calabresella and of Zweigle's hots, but the local 350 employees in this area, never had. This year since the hot's were so well received, that the employees asked in advanced for those again. They will not be disappointed”
“Stopped in for dinner and had a party of 4. It was a Tuesday night and told there was a 30 min wait. They offered us a high top at bar, and unfortanately it was really loud and hard to have a conversation.
The food was good. We previously had a catered event with the barbecue package and it was delicious. Was hoping those items on menu but they weren't.
We started with the artichoke cristini app. It was so good...we fought over the last one. I had an Asian pork sandwhich with sweet potato fries; my husband had a pizza and 2 other family members had burgers. No complaints about the food. Good portion sizes. Hot. Reasonable prices.”
“Your food went way way down the way outside is so long it's ridiculous then the food is cold doesn't taste like it should taste you should get back to cook she had there when you opened the ones who came from fornataros. Got to go food for Thanksgiving no one touched it the the artichoke French looked like chicken nuggets terrible look like it was baked not sauteed the clams casino were as big as to Wegmans water bottle caps I took a picture was going to even send it to them but you know they don't do anything anyways we got 25 clams casino maybe a total of those clams were four clams that's all small they were nobody even ate them I'm going to be calling to take them back but someone said don't bother they don't care about their food coming out they think because they had a name that they were good you got to keep up that good food otherwise people stop coming”

“Working with someone like Mrs. Anita Ephraim FX is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me every week. I invested my first $500 into bitcoin and Mrs.Anita FX helped me manage my account and i made $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first. Mrs. Anita Ephraim walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a … See more”
“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, we tried the cheesy garlic sticks, slices of cup n char, meatball sandwich, chicken parm sandwich, spaghetti with eggplant balls, and of course the homemade cookies. Everything was delicious, prepared fresh, all staff and the owner were extremely friendly. Great new spot! Can’t wait to come back and try the Utica greens and chicken rigggies!”

“Food was good. Had wings and beef on weck. Service was not good. Sat at a booth in the bar area. This was a Saturday at 4pm. Not busy at all. Took 15 minutes for a waitress to even acknowledge us even though there was at least 3-4 that we saw wandering around. Definitely not as good as the original, but hoping they’ll work out some of the kinks.”
“I LOVE this place. Create a pizza is my all time favorite spot. I’ve been coming here for years and I recommend it to every person I come across. Especially those with dietary restrictions. The food is always delicious, there are always friendly smiles behind the counter, and the prices are pretty unbeatable. Hands down, best pizza joint in Rochester.”

“The atmosphere was was great. Our waitress Bella( at the Rochester one) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly sling with our hostess and other table help. Was a great experience. The only thing I was disappointed in ( which wasn’t any of these peoples doing) was my porterhouse steak. For the money, it should have been a nice cut. It was an end cut, one that even some stores don’t use…let alone a very upscale restaurant. It was also supposed to be med rare n was med. I didn’t send it back because st least it was pink, but it was well past med rare. My crab cake was very good. The lobster and crab mac and cheese was also very good. I’d definitely recommend and go back. Just not sure if I’d get the porterhouse again. Probably go with just the filet.”
“Absolutely loved the new menu. The whole staff was exceptional and professional. Food was delicious and served promptly. Really liked the “at table” type of presentations from the servers. \n\nI’ve been there several times over the years and found tonight’s experience was the best of all.”
“I'm so glad that my niece brought my family here for her daughter graduation celebration it was everything that one wants to share with love ones the place, food, it was a awesome experience thank you for your service”
“It was the perfect family friendly brunch spot. Service was great and the menu had something for everyone. Cannot wait to come back!”
Cheap Eats
“Our family stayed in an airbnb on Averill Ave, just down the street from Cheesy Eddie's, and I picked up a 2lb Key Lime cheesecake to share at our big family New Years get together. MAN did that cheesecake go fast. I only got a tiny slice myself, but it was delicious. I should have gotten several of them.”
“Went in for dinner tonight for the first time and it was INCREDIBLE! A wide variety of drinks and food! Staff was attentive and friendly. They answered any questions we had about the menu. Even though it’s not sit down service the staff still brought us extra plates when needed and offered cups of water which was nice! Food came out fresh and hot! We will return again for more!! :)”
“Loved, loved, loved this grill! They have booths and tables. The food was exceptional-even the decaf coffee was rich and flavorful!! Everyone there working had a smile on there face which tells you they are happy working there. When I called there to ask questions the man who I talked to was so friendly. And... I must give A shout out to Courtney, our waitress, who was friendly and so helpful. Loved her too! We will be back😊 FOR SURE”
“The place was really nice. Staff was friendly too. I had a pasta (Malfaldine corta) which was $14 and it was really yummy but the quantity was not enough. Also I had two cheese pizza slices and each was $5. The taste was okay but I think it was expensive. Plenty of parking available. You have to order first and then they will call your name when it is ready. Kind of Self service. Also, ice cream was available. They had two flavors chocolate and sea salt caramel but chocolate ice cream was only available on that day. A restroom was also available.”
“Great coffee in a lovely atmosphere! The workers were so kind and knowledgable about the different coffees they serve. I got the Pandan lattee and it was so good! I'm definitely coming back again. This seems like a great place to bring a book, relax and read.”
“Had a great experience at The Cub room! My 1sr time there. Highly recommend it. Best hollandaise sauce I’ve ever had!!”
“Went here with my wife for her birthday. Staff was super friendly and the food was fantastic!”
“10/10! I was blown away. Absolutely hands down one of Rochester’s best restaurants. Friendly and quick staff and the food… 🤤 oh the food. The food was DELICIOUS! Cooked to perfection, and as 2 chefs on a date who are highly critical of others cooking, we were BOTH impressed. Atmosphere was warm and inviting, and presentation was impeccable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I took some pics & vids and have a smaller social media of 22K that i plan on directing to go to this extremely good restaurant if they are in the Rochester area. The cocktails are presented with class and flare as well. If you’re looking for that perfect place for a romantic date night dinner, business meeting or just a foodie… this is a MUST-GO! Thanks to the amazing chef who was so accommodating! We will definitely be back!”
“The food and atmosphere were great. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It felt fancy without the high prices. Definitely recommend.”
“Tried pot roast, fried mozz, chicken tenders & crab cakes. All amazing. Highly recommend.”
“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!”
“Have been meaning to come here for ages since they're dog friendly. Kicking myself for not coming earlier! Service, food, drinks and atmosphere were all 10/10 and our pup Darby enjoyed her time too ?”
“So delicious and a lovely addition to the community. Will be back again and again!”
“Our first time here and we will be back. This was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Thank you for the delicious meal, hospitality and the lovely environment. 🤍”

“A gem in Rochester! The cuisine, vibe & service is all top notch! Our crew enjoyed delicious plates (and big portions) of pizza, pasta & the infamous chicken cutlet! The salad was also so crisp & fresh with a tasty dressing to top it off. We also enjoyed a bottle of Lambrusco on special - 10/10! Thanks for a lovely evening out; we will be back soon! PS don’t skip dessert - the lemon ricotta cookies are to die for!”
“This venue, with it gracious hosts and hospitable staff, is a terrific place to hang out and watch the world and people pass by with a glass or two of wonderful (and reasonably priced) wines of all kinds. It is also the perfect stop pre or post river stroll and views of downtown.”
“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! 🤤👍🏼”
“We wandered into Living Roots Rochester location on a whim on Mother’s Day this past spring. When I say we fell in love, that would be an understatement. The wine is exquisite; something for every palate. The space is beautiful; inviting and comfortable through the changing of the seasons. The windows are wide open with fresh air in warmer months and the tasting room is cozy during our typical upstate winters. The staff is exceptional and make you feel like you are at home. Ultimately, the ROC location and staff knock it out of the park with their hospitality, space, and most of all their delectable wines. We are so lucky to have them as part of our community.”
“After a tip from friends, we checked out Merchants Wood Fired Pizza & Bistro. It's in an out of the way location, but is so worth your trip. Nestled in a city neighborhood, this place is delicious with a super cute patio. Food gave off an "Old School Italian American" vibe in the best possible way. We enjoyed flavorful housemade meatballs in a great sauce. Burrata was tasty with the most delicious charred tomatoes (we omitted the prosciutto at one diner's preference). The salads were just the right size if you wanted to have those and split a pizza, which two of us did. The Funghi Pizza was tasty and had just the right amount of truffle (some places go overboard). This was a super hit -- very crave-able! For our pickier diner, the Spicy Cup Pepperoni Pizza was the perfect option. Both pizzas had a nice crust, baked nicely, and a perfect amount of cheese. Service was friendly and attentive. Everyone greatly enjoyed the meal. We'll definitely return.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Rooney’s hosted my colleagues and I today for an amazing dinner. It was mine, and many others first time at Rooney’s and all said the same thing- WE WILL BE BACK. The food was delicious, service amazing, and ambiance was quiet, chic, and moody.”
“We recently ordered a fairly large quantity of food and drinks from Mullers for my sisters baby shower. They were easy to work with, gave us a great deal and checked in a few times to make sure everything was on schedule. When I arrived for pick-up they greeted me at the door by my first name with smiles just like I was family. They also helped to load everything into my trunk. A few days after the event they even checked in to see how everything went! This is how you run a business! It’s hard in 2023 to find an establishment with that kind of class and professionalism. I highly recommend Mullers for any catering needs. Even better yet, stop in and enjoy some drinks, cider and food with some friends or family. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Just when I thought you couldn’t beat their fizzy cocktails (we loved the Bitter Sea & French 75) - the gin martini was one of the best I’ve ever had, complete with a lemon twist & punchy onion garnish. 5 stars for friendly service, a great atmosphere & delicious rillettes, charcuterie, bread & mussels. I can’t wait to return & try some more menu items! Thanks to the Cure Crew for a great night out!”
“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.”
“Went on the first day. Serves was great and food too. Since it was the first day everything wasn’t running all smooth but they tried. The egg tart wasn’t like how I usually have it. It was overcooked in the middle but the crust part was good. Had the chicken feet, rice cake (shrimp and beef), black sesame dessert, fried dough with meat inside, beef tripe, and short ribs. All that was good. I’ll come back to try the rest. Plus they had the bice robot that played music and served us our drinks and food.”
“We (son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter (18 months) had a great meal at Vern’s last night. We ordered several of their specials and we all enjoyed them. My granddaughter had several firsts, which added to our fun experience.”
“We planned a special dinner party for ten with the expert help of Mariel, who accommodated all our requests in advance. It was delightful to work with her. Sarah was our server that night and she paced the evening perfectly, with care and enthusiasm. The dining room was busy with a happy vibe throughout the restaurant. The manager Melissa took time to speak to me too. Our friends raved about the delicious food and creative cocktails. A+ experience!

“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!”
“One of my kids has pretty intense food anxiety and basically is only comfortable eating chicken fingers and fries when we go out to eat. Making it hard on the rest of the family as that limits our dining choices often. We were really excited to find the kids menu here. The sushi, ramen, AND chicken fingers and fries were all excellent, the prices and portions are good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.”
“Had a great well cooked steak, green beans phenomenal, corn was delicious. My wife says the chicken is good and the bread is perfect! Our waitress is attentive, spot on with refills and courteous recommending ideas to complete the meal. Go early to avoid evening rush”
“I had my birthday/retirement celebration at I Square Wine Reserve Saturday night. Sara the event coordinator and Mike helped me make my plans. It was fabulous. Appetizers were delicious and the.Arancini’s were amazing. Everyone was complementing the chef. I was so happy to celebrate my special occasions there. A big thank you again to Mike and Sara and Olivia our bartender .👋👋👋”
“Great food, really nice employees, clean and fun environment, and great games. My wife took me here for my birthday and we had a lot of fun. We will definitely be back.”
“Fresh seafood centric dishes. I would recommend the clams in curry broth with a side of rolls! The location is small which creates a fun environment but it isn't great for medium-large groups. Also, the menu is small so it may be worth taking a look before going to make sure everyone finds something.”
“We would highly recommend having your event with this venue! We booked the Beer Hall without seeing the room. It was decorated so beautifully, was set up perfect with large tables and offered ample space for socializing! The buffet was delicious and offered many options. They also provided us a gluten free dish for one of our guests! Nicole was amazing in serving our guests, making sure everything was taken care of timely and was fantastic to work with (which was all done over the phone). Thank you Rohrbach and Nicole for making our rehearsal dinner a memorable one! All of our guests were so impressed and truly enjoyed the evening!!”
“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 wife and I finally had a chance to dine at Veneto. We enjoyed a delicious meal with amazing service. Thank you.”
“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.”
“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.”
“cheap price good food fast service just about everything is great!”
“Wow! Thank you! Such a great date night. I called early in the day on a Saturday and they were pretty full with reservations but I asked about coming right at 5 and they got us in. I wish I could remember the bartender/waitresses name, Jess I think?!? She was AMAZING! The entire place filled up so quick and she just danced around and was so pleasant! She was a whole vibe! The rest of the service staff didn’t come until closer to 6 and all the tables and bar were full. She didn’t skip a beat. She recommended my new favorite roll of all time, south beach. I also ordered the sushi bar salad and asked if we could get an extra bowl. They split it and presented it so beautifully! I wish I had a picture. This is also now my all time favorite. I can’t wait to get back. Seriously addicted! Thank you guys. We needed a dinner date and this was beyond what we had hoped for. Yum! See you guys soon!”

I didn’t send it back because st least it was pink, but it was well past med rare. My crab cake was very good. The lobster and crab mac and cheese was also very good. I’d definitely recommend and go back. Just not sure if I’d get the porterhouse again. Probably go with just the filet.”
“The food is good and you get a lot of food 🍱 GOOD Eating y’all”
“Adelitas has the most amazing food, and great service. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Syracuse NY location! Pedi para llevar y deje decirle 5 ⭐️ rico rico rico por fin 🙌🏾 ya llevaba un año esperando lol”
“The location is small and intimate. The service was great. If you don't have a reservation it may be difficult for you to get a table. The bar serves the full menu. The espresso martinis are fantastic.”
“Tonight we tried Mr Dominic's and man were we so happy with our experience. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. We celebrated a birthday which a 10 person party with two kids. Our waitress Taylor was beyond amazing our food came out quickly and fast. They even had a cute kids basket for the kids to pick out a toy. We will definitely be back. Thank you again Taylor for your amazing service, patience and bubbly personality.”
“We stopped in for lunch for the first time the other day. The people who work there are very nice, along with a nice casual atmosphere. The food was excellent! We weren't fond of the drinks (too sweet). Definitely worth a return trip and is recommended for everyone!”
“Our favorite local sushi place. No other sushi place in Rochester comes close. The rolls and all are just ok, but if you’re after authentic high quality sushi, this is the place.”
“I had my 50th Birthday party here and the staff was very friendly and helpful the venue was beautiful the food was amazing and everyone had an amazing time. We will definitely hold future events at La Luna. Thank you for everything!!!”
“celebrated my sisters 30th, the food was incredible. i plan to return asap for valentines day! I highly highly recommend”
“Food was cooked to Perfection! The service was great! The flavoring in the Fried ribs was A1 and the sauce was delicious too! But those Greens whew chile❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“This is a really fabulous sushi spot nestled in Village Gate. They have a nice mix of standard fare and really creative rolls. Our favorites are Sunny Day and Sweet Potato Tempura, though everything we've tried on multiple visits is fantastic and fresh. They also have a really interesting and tasty Seaweed Duo Salad. For the non-sushi eater, don't hesitate to order their ramen. It is wonderfully prepared. Service has also always been friendly and fast. Special requests were accommodated with a smile. Prices are reasonable and the portions are good. If the weather is nice, enjoy dinner on their patio. This is one of our favorite spots in the city. It will not disappoint!”
“Hands down the wings are amazing... the owner is very personable and all about his establishment!”
“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.”
“Where to begin? The quality and taste of their coffee is amazing!! Its so flavorfull and savory, it stays with you 30min after you drink it.”
“I wanted to taste some of the dishes, they looked very good. I could not due to the fact i cannot eat seafood. All dishes are made with fish. The fish is cooked down and they prepare the dish afterwards. They are expensive, but consider the ingredients that are used bring the cost up. Quite a few vegetarian dishes.”
“A hidden gem on Park Ave. This place was excellent. The food has quality ingredients and made with love. The best beef stroganoff I have ever ate. The waitress with the red hair was friendly and accommodating. Definitely visit again.”

“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.

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!”
“Nine of us, including 4 kids (ages 3-12) ate there on the outside patio on 5 August. Food was very good; very tasty and in large quantity. Service was great -- young lady server worked really hard to help keep the kids happy. We spent about 90 minutes there. I'd definitely go back -- very enjoyable experience.”
“Loved, loved, loved this grill! They have booths and tables. The food was exceptional-even the decaf coffee was rich and flavorful!! Everyone there working had a smile on there face which tells you they are happy working there. When I called there to ask questions the man who I talked to was so friendly. And... I must give A shout out to Courtney, our waitress, who was friendly and so helpful. Loved her too! We will be back😊 FOR SURE”
“Hands down my favorite korean/restaurant in general in the roc area. I’ve been coming here consistently for over 6 years now. I am korean, and this is closest to my grandmothers cooking. I cannot say good enough things about this place. The servers are great, the food is delicious every single time, and the restaurant is cute/cozy. You get what you pay for and more, portions are huge.”
“My wife and I are saddened to hear of your closing. We went there yesterday. Our Server was Ally G. A good server and very attentive. The lunch portions were very ample and tasty. Again, we are very saddened about your closing because this has been a go to place for us for decades.”
“Tina, I just wanted to thank you and your family for the wonderful food and service at my daughter's graduation party. Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Communication was ongoing and the event was worry-free. I would not have changed a thing and would rebook in a heartbeat! My party guests and myself would highly recommend "Wraps on Wheels". I now look forward to enjoying in the community! Thank you again! Jennifer”

“I recommend the salad bar if youre going for salad. I dont recommend the meat. --‐--------------☆ Visited Tuesday June 25th, 2024. Rochester- I'll start with the greats, than the not so greats. The GOOD- The atmosphere, presentation of building, bar. Bathroom and salad bar absolutely beautiful. This place has full potential. Our server she was fantastic, kind and respectful. She did forget two drinks when asked a couple times but we had a party of 11. So it was understandable and her manager came to help. Hopefully kind about it towards her. I feel terrible I don't recall her name but she was a red head and was so sweet and patient. She even took our groups birthday photo at two separate times. The salad bar was fresh, tasted and always kept full it was delicious and I would go JUST for the salad bar. The drinks from the bar were on point as well and absolutely delicious. SO-SO- Parking is horrendous, so if you can't find parking you're walking a bit and paying for parking. Now for the BAD- We were sat in the back the farthest from kitchen. We bairly had and meat come back due to this. The closer to the kitchen they were going to them tables first. I really wanted Sirloin- I asked my server. Server came back 20 minutes she asked if they came. No. Server said something again. Still did not come back. Manager was told. Now we're onto almost 40 minutes of waiting at this point. Manager says okay. Manager comes back 15 minutes says it'll be another 10 minutes. It's finally did come. And all I can say is it didn't taste like it at. Especially when we told the server were more of a red meat table. The garlic parm Chicken was not to par. very salty as well and grizzle. Alot of the meat here is ALL SALT so be aware of that as well. The little bit of steak that came around earlier was SO salty you couldnt even stomach it. I'm really bummed because the one we went to several times in Canada was WAY better than this and they had a couple servers out with same meats so the whole restaurant was being attended to properly. I wouldn't come here for meat again, maybe the salad bar but honestly I think we'll save our trips for Canada. We had high hopes, and surely were not met. We were celebrating my mother's 49th birthday- the birthday plate written Happy Birthday was a cute gesture too. Maybe it would have been better if we were closer to kitchen. *It was child friendly *it was wheelchair accessible There is alot of potential.”
“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”

“These are by far the best subs in Rochester, definitely worth paying a couple dollars more for! The service staff is always so friendly, you walk out blessed just from short conversations with them. Highly recommend getting your sub Mike’s way, and the spicy relish is incredible! Also, I’m excited to tell my wife they now have gluten-free bread too.”
“We did a morning hike near Lake Ontario and stopped here for lunch. My wife had gyro sandwich and I had a burger with eggplant sauce and red lentil soup. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent and VERY pleasant. We would definitely enjoy eating here again.”
