Had dinner tonight and it was amazing! The calamari appetizer was delicious! Also had the pork special, osso bucco which was out of this world! You must try this place. The service was impeccable also. Wish I knew our server’s name. From start to finish including dessert l can’t give this place enough stars!! I will be returning soon for another great meal.

Everything about the experience there was fantastic.The cocktails were perfectly balanced, whomever was making drinks knew what they were doing, it was a great subtle blending of flavors.We ordered apps that came out promptly and blew us away right from the start. We had the wheat berry risotto which we ordered just because it sounded interesting and it ended up being more delicious than anything we had had in Rochester in a long time.The entrees, also perfectly timed were also great. We had the pork chop and the skirt steak. The pork chop was the best dish for sure. The sage chimichurri and corn hominy that came with it were such an amazing combination. Everything was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly portioned.The server described everything so well that she sold us on dessert even though we were stuffed by the end of the meal. We had a grilled lemon pound cake that hit with a citrusy brightness that perfectly ended the meal.I loved it. Highly recommend. Definitely up there as some of the best food and drinks in the city.Parking: There is a ton of parking there. It's the Public Market area, it can fit hundreds. No worries with parking. Very well lit and safe at night as well.

Six of us just had dinner here, ordered 6 different appetizers and 5 different mains and all were outstanding. Delicious creative food and some of the best French fries in town and we are French fry nuts. Maria was a great help in ordering, lots of fun and Cassidy was really attentive. Nice people, relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. It was a great night out. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Bibimbap, falafels, starter salads and a couple of fish dishes if you eat fish.

Public Provisions is the perfect addition to the public market scene that extends beyond the weekend. The food is excellent and always evolving, the vibe welcoming and it feels like a community space.Parking: Outside of market Saturdays, there is ample parking.

My price per person includes drinks. Honestly without, around $24 each. I am already fond of this place. Chill, relaxed, vibe.If you like calamari...this is definitely one of the best. We ordered the beet falafel and it was great. The most moist falafel we've ever had...not dry at all.Then we had the circle chicken which is a very tasty chicken roulade. Nice alternative new wave music in the background.We'll be back. Great serviceWelcoming place. Next time? BRUNCH!! Then back to try more dinner selections.

Went here for my birthday dinner and loved it. The staff was wonderful - personable and very knowledgeable about the menu, wine list and cocktails. The burger was phenomenal, as well as the chicken, scallops and appetizers (risotto and shrimp). The pork chop was a little disappointing. Loved the local and fresh aspect of the menu. Looking forward to going back for meals and expanding cocktail program.

I had a wonderful experience at the Public Provisions after seeing Michele Ashlee-Meade’s work at the The-Yard-Collective tonight.Caitlin took great care of me ? I tried the Mando salad, Crispy chicken circle. It was absolutely delicious !! I have come here before for breakfast (which is also wonderful) but this is my first time for dinner. The Food was fresh, tasty and good portions.Thank you Caitlin, I appreciate you taking the time to educate me on the menu and for making this a wonderful dining experience ?????The Chicken Circle included greens, and butter potatoes. “Unbelievable” is the only word I can think of. I couldn’t eat all of it so I took some home for a snack tomorrow. Like I said, in the review, great portion size.This Mando salad was delectable ? I could have had it for a meal it was that good ??
