The good: phenomenal service. Our waiter is also a singer, and he was singing in the middle of the restaurant, and it was the highlight of the meal. He sang like Frank Sinatra, but also does opera. The steak was done perfectly. It was so much better than some of the other steakhouses in town, especially after having such a horrible experience at Gio Prime. Best ribeye I’ve had in a long time. Pork belly appetizer was very tasty and was one of the better pork belly dishes I’ve had . Octopus is very good. Maybe not as tender as Bonnie & Clyde , but it was still really good. Mushrooms were excellent. My wife’s lamb chops were excellent as well. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. the bad: it’s very small so it ended up being very noisy. Tables are squished together really close to each other. Very tight parking and you might not get a spot so you might have to park across the street. I recommend it overall.

Came into town for a show at the arena and had the most wonderful time. Scott was knowledgeable and positively delightful. If we’re ever back in town we absolutely will be returning!

Steaks were rotten, Over charred and under seasoned. Ordered the porterhouse and the meat smelled like rotten meat. Absolutely disgusting. Do not recommend to anyone. Apps were okay and sides were mediocre.

We did go about a year ago….i was looking for fabulous restaurants in Rochester for next anniversary meal….lets start from the beginning….when I asked about what waygu beef was. My server told me it was “very expensive” (yes pretty woman scenario exactly) pretty much went down hill from there. Nothing was cooked to satisfaction . And yay for Maxs….they can probably delete this review. Never again. I wouldn’t go to an establishment unless I was prepared to pay. Sorry I don’t look your east side type! I’m west side and can afford anything I want. Boo Max’s!

Food was delicious but presentation was bland and overall meals were pretty pricey. Don’t get wrong food is great but visual presentation was not up to standard.

I had dinner with my daughter and granddaughter, table for 3. I came in late and saw that they were seated in the bar area. To my dismay my daughter told me that the inside tables were for 4 or more. I was talked out of asking for another table by my daughter. So we had dinner in the bar area. Very noisy, had trouble having a conversation, and felt annoyed being seated near the bar. Jen, our waitress, was on point and the service was just fine. I had the ribeye steak, and each bite felt like the first bite, delicious. The prices are top shelf (6 oysters, $24) and if I had to be seated, even for a table of one, at the bar, I would walk out. Doubtful I would ever return.
This is a GREAT hidden gem, a non-corporate small restaurant with a very personal touch. AMAZING steaks, with a fantastic selection to include very high-end cuts not usually found at other restaurants. Delicious steak, sides, and a very good old fashioned. They were a touch slow getting our dinners out, but it was later at night and understandable. We will return for sure!!!!

Amazing experience from start to finish with our waitress! From the cocktails, to the wine, steak entrées and dessert. Everything was excellent and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend going here and we will be coming back for sure!

You name the high end steakhouse in NYC and I've been there. This is on par with those. Way better than anything else you'll get in Rochester.

Had a delicious steak, and Mac and cheese. I was dinning at the bar and received quick and friendly service. They have a lot of regulars. I work next door i see the same cars every week. Atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff treat you like family in profesional way. The food alone makes this place standout because of the level of perfection each plate is prepared too. Each bite of my steak transported me into another world.

Pomme frites are the best in town
