“Salena’s is a NOTA staple and I’m so glad so many of our theatre events end up at Salena’s. I always have the pleasure of having Nando as our bartender and he always knows exactly what the vibe is. I’m terrible at knowing what I want to drink and Nando always knows exactly what to whip up. Honestly, Rochester wouldn’t be the same without Salena’s!“

“We stopped in for a light, late lunch. Wow. Just WOW! our food was delicious, absolutely fresh. The best Focaccia and Burrata I've ever had! I had a delicious Limoncello Spritz too. Fantastic!“

“We had Cheesy Eddies cater desserts for our wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were so nice and accommodating and the desserts were so delicious and reasonably priced. All of our guests loved them and the delivery went smoothly. I would highly recommend them for your wedding or any event!!“

“Red Fern has been my favorite restaurant for 9 years now. It is literally the best food I have ever eaten, no other restaurant compares in my book. My favorite meal ever is the Mac and Cheese Nachos, best thing I've ever eaten but I also love the compost plate, the Buffalo bleu, steak bomb, baked Mac, flatbreads and omg the jam bars 🤤“

“The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and courteous!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life it is so so soooooooo good it is almost orgasmic, just thinking about it I am drooling 🤤 a mist try if you are a cheesecake fan ! Also tried the banana bread it is really yummy and those ginger turmeric bar are also really yummy. The bread is different a little like a pumpernickel I really liked it ! Love this place it’s one of the hidden gems of ROC glad we tried it ❤️“

“Had dinner here tonight. Great service. Food came out hot and as fast as I was able to eat. Dishes are hearty and vegetable forward, plus there was a fabulous appetizer of spiced sultanas, nuts, and what I think were freshly battered/fried chickpeas. Dinner is very reasonably priced at $5 a plate. Delicious. Fancy but feels homemade. Reminded me of my sister's cooking and she is a wonderful cook :') I will definitely be going back!!“

“Amazing sweets in northern Greece off Dewey with incredibly fair prices! Full vegan menu which is hard to find options for in Greece. I would say try the cookies, but I got one of everything and they have all been so good!“

“Spectacular Sushi, beautifully crafted, served exceptionally.“

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

“Great food, excellent service!“

“This love story began 20 years ago 😆 in the artsy Southwedge part of Rochester, NY!
It’s like it melts in your mouth, easily in the top 3 of all things cheesecake. I’m serious folks.
You have to try it, just go lay your eyes on it. Looking away is impossible, after just one bite you’re hooked…my mother seconds this❤️“

“We had a friend introduce us to this bakery a month ago as we we're searching for a good gluten free bakery to get some deserts for our daughter's graduation party. I stopped in a few days prior to the party and picked up a variety of items, their assorted mini cookie tray, a few of their frosted cookies and a variety box of cupcakes. All of our gluten free guests LOVED the options and devoured the sweets pretty quickly. My daughter's favorite is the Carrot Cake cupcake. We will definitely be making more visits, especially before our daughter leaves for college.“

“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. 🤍“

“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! 🤤👍🏼“

“Absolutely one of best Italian restaurants ever frequented. Exceptional“

“Amazing food. Way better than Bella pasta“

“I’ve loved everything I’ve tried here! Even if I’m doing a quick market trip, I grab a delicious coconut bar, breakfast blueberry and banana one or soup to bring and enjoy later because I know it’s going to taste great and be packed with flavor. You can really tell she puts so much love into the menu and food and I love this place.“

“My husband and I have been using Get Caked for years! He is dairy free and it is the one bakery he can count of time and time again to make the best cupcakes without all of the milk! We recently used get caked for my bridal shower and our wedding and I have never received more compliments on a dessert before! People LOVED everything!!! We will continue to get Get Caked for all of our celebrations!!“

“Got introduced to chefs catering food at this years #lilacfestival and cannot say enough good things about them. Their food was amazing (especially the plates and mac salad) 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a catering vendor.“

“We have the best public market 😄“

“Scratch has made quite a few different desserts for my family and they have gone above and beyond expectation every time. Just when you think their cakes are the best you’ve ever had, their cookies and fresh doughnuts enter the arena too. 🤣 I cannot stress enough about how great their treats and staff are. ❤️“

“Java's is a Rochester gem. Friendly staff, lots of options on menu, warm inviting atmosphere. Big fan of this place.“

“10/10 recommend! We loved having Marty’s at our event. Awesome food and great service. 👏“

“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.“

“Mama Napoli Foods is a family owned specialty producer of Authentic Arancini (stuffed rice balls). Mama Napoli Foods is the only place that offers gluten free arancini. They are primarily a wholesale operation but do have a small store front where you can purchase their products. They also offer catering for your events.“

“The ultimate in Park Avenue dining and drinking was the perfect spot for spending a couple hours with our family between a wedding and the reception recently. Great conversation comes easily in the laid back atmosphere whether you take a table inside, outside or at the bar. Highly recommend... it's not often that a place is both a favorite of mom and dad AND their young adult children...but ROAM has been defying norms and succeeding fantastically for well over a decade. There's a reason for that. Great food, great drinks, great service. It doesn't get better than ROAM.“

“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.“

“Best coffee & healthy food“

“The food was great! Our kids are super picky and had never tried Indian food before. They were able to sample several new flavors and even liked a few!“

“Fantastic food with fresh and tasty ingredients. Fantastic service, and dedicated owners. I highly recommend trying anything from here. I have had the Sandwiches which are hand down amazing, the bread itself is a 10of10. I have also had the duck soup, I recommend leaving the red pepper alone if you don't like spice. also the spring rolls are to die for. Hands down a new favorite of mine.“

“One of our favorite spots! The cheesy hot tots and the Mac attack burger are amazing“

“I remember coming here as a kid with my two friends. We used to always walk to the market to mess around and see everything and never had enough between the three of us to purchase one full meal. The lady that worked behind the counter was somehow always able to stretch our $2.00 in change into 3 delicious hot bowls of chili and 3 cups of hot chocolate. Over 20 years later and I still remember this and the nice people that work there. I always stop by when Im back in town.“

“The sweets here are usually very good. They have a good variety to choose from. Their brewed coffee is never that great. They do have the biggest selection of flavor shots however so that sometimes covers the taste. The drinks besides normal coffee are typically good as well“

“My picky vegetarian 9-year old loved Susan's battered tofu, Asian noodles and rice. Chef Susan catered a menu designed to her tastes- while offering variety to the rest of the family. My daughter even asked for seconds! There was plenty of food for all of us and the cost was extremely reasonable. We had a nice, healthy family dinner tonight.“

“Love sitting inside near giant glass windows... or outside in warm weather. Wonderful, lovely music. Quiet atmosphere. Food is very good & generous portions. Nice variety of coffees & teas. Also really enjoy looking at all the decor, based on Susan B. Anthony & other important women. Location is where she originally (illegally) voted ! Friendly, nice place > to meet or on your own.“

“Amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Steaks were awesome and perfectly cooked. One lobster tail was a little overcooked, the other one was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend and will be going back“

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

“Absolutely delicious breakfast - beautiful, fresh and so so tasty! Service was fantastic - will definitely return!!“
