We found this café through my Seed Oil Scout app. We have come to Rochester for the eclipse and I just purchased the Seed Oil Scout app so I thought I would give it a try while we're traveling. This restaurant was recommended as a safe choice and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious! I got the Paleo salad with beef tenderloins. The beef was perfectly cooked, better than most steaks I've gotten. My husband got chicken Parmesan and loved it. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. We are so glad that we canceled the reservation that we had over in the Finger Lakes and decided to just stay closer to the hotel. Excellent decision!

Food and drinks were fine.I try to be as hornets as possible.Service was the issue. If you read through the poor reviews of the restaurant 75% stem for service.Very cute neighborhood restaurant but subpar engagement from staff. I ate a meal for 45 minutes with a drink and was not checked on ONCE; nor were those around me. I planned to ordered more drinks but I guess that was not the point of sitting at the bar ?Not awful but no one around me looked enthused by the lack of engagement or check-ins from the bar tender.

Second time coming here and thoroughly impressed AGAIN! This time I popped in for a quick lunch before brining my friend to the Airport. We were sat at the window at my request because i wanted to watch my car which was parked a little close, but not at all blocking the fire hydrant out front. The owner "Drew" introduced himself, and assured me it would be fine, then asked if he could take my keys and personally valet park my car which he did. He said he just wanted us to relax and enjoy our meal without any worrying. We sure did! Thank you Drew! Our waiter was amazing and I wish I could recall his name. We left him a 30% tip on the after tip amount as a result. The menu was outstanding! We had the prime rib sandwich which we split, with the Garlic Parm Fries as our side pick. We also ordered the Crispy Artichoke appetizer with the Cajun dip (I had it last time and it haunted me). Wow, so YUMMY, all of it!!! I will definitely be back. I honestly can't recall the last time I felt so at home, relaxed, and comfortable like I was a special guest like this before. Drew really impressed me as a perfect example of what a business owner should act and look like. Great job guys, keep it up! I understand now why it's been 13 years and going strong! Now, If you are reading and made it this far, be sure to check out Drew's other restaurant across the street too! "Classic Kitchen and Cocktails" - it's on my to do list next! I had no idea until today he owned BOTH!
My new favorite spot for prime rib! Pork belly buns are amazing too!

I asked for a box for my food, and my waitress said she would get an extra big box, she later took my food away with no box.Kid-friendliness: She didn’t like me for some reason

I always find this place to serve consistently good food. Lots of choices for all. I love their soup and pizza. My friend said their red sauce was delicious. Nice casual atmosphere- not loud.

First time for brunch there. The hostess was able to accommodate us without reservations. Food and service were great! Can’t beat a carafe of mimosas for $20! We will definitely be back!

Had an excellent dinner! Two of us had the strip steak special which was huge and cooked perfectly. Sides were good size portions and everything tasted delicious. One had smothered chicken which they said was delicious. We started with the fried calamari which had excellent flavor. Make reservations as it is a very small restaurant and you likely will not be seated without one. We would absolutely go again.

I ordered soup...tomato bisque... a burger and a bottle of beer. Take out. Very caring and focused staff. Everything carefully packaged not to "overflow" and was ready on time hot. The side of tomato/cucumber fresh salad was a surprise option which I chose over fries. All tasted good. Staff: upbeat, sincere and efficient.
