“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!“

“We love food and the service. We come a couple times a month and have always had a good experience.“

“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 went to this wonderful restaurant today for the first time, and it was unbelievably great! The man who waited on us answered all of our questions, the environment is warm and inviting, the service was the best ever, service was great, and we were not hurried in any way. Prices are reasonable and the quantity of food is spot on for hungry people. And of course, don't forget the desserts. There is a whole case of desserts to choose, and they were DELICIOUS. We will definitely go back and go back again and again.“

“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!“

“Service and food were fantastic. The food was delicious and full of flavor. Every bit of meat was tender and the vegetable spring rolls were light and crispy. Absolutely will be back!!“

“Best tacos in the city. You'll wait a while for them and you'll smell like them when you leave but it's absolutely worth it. Order ahead if you don't want to wait. Approachable and friendly service. Al Pastor tacos are the best of them all. Parking is not the best but there are spots on the surrounding streets. Will be back again and again.“

“I took my elderly mother here for lunch with my 15 year old because she has been craving Italian and it was close to where my mother lives. We couldn't stop talking about how nice of an atmosphere it was!! There was road and parking lot construction and since we weren't use to the area , we didn't know there was a ramp to help my mother, but every staff member was so courteous and friendly helping my mom and my 15 year old get them both in (while I went to park the car). The excellent customer service didn't stop there......... throughout our meal, water was filled up and they especially made sure my mother was comfortable! We were all also impressed how wonderful the food was! We stopped there on a whim, but you definitely have some new customers!“

Your food is consistently tasty and healthy. And I love how customizable your plan options are! That flexibility helps me ramp up or down how many meals I get based on how I’m feeling. It’s been a game changer in my life!“

“Three of us just finished dinner at Sinbads and it was marvelous! We had a pasta dish, a salad platter and a pizza and they were all equally delicious. The service was excellent as well. We look forward to returning, especially during warmer weather.“

“I love the burgers here, and my dining companion raves about the pizza! Today I tried their version of Nashville chicken.

Way too much bun for the chicken, which was tasty but not special in its flavor. Nice and crunchy but bland. No kick at all. Way too many pickles - no problem, just picked a few off and ate a few separately. I usually really like their rosemary garlic fries. Today they were hard, cool and very salty. Surprising because they'd just opened.

Overall the customer service vibe was off today. Our server was excellent, however the way we were received could improve. I had planned to meet someone at 11:30 am. That's when they open, and trust me, not a minute earlier. As a matter of fact, 2 minutes late, with staff making sure to not make eye contact as they prepared. There was no seating outside the main entrance, situated within a mall. It was about to start raining, so it didn't seem wise to sit outside. Tough on those who cannot stand for long periods of time. When the staff finally unlocked the door, they just turned the bolt and walked away. I would've expected them to physically open the door and welcome the small crowd that had gathered.

It's never a good idea to assume that business will always be robust. A little friendliness goes a long way.“

“A++ all around, staff knows what they are doing“

“Nasturtium decoration on the soup. Both were yummy.“

“The building looks odd. When you enter there is a small vitamin shop before the restaurant section. That being said, all of the food here was tasty. We tried everything on the menu. My favorites in particular were the stew, risotto and the plantains. You really can't go wrong no matter what you choose. Even the hot Chai was super good. This place is totally worth visiting.“

“Amazing food! Amazing staff! They’re willing to tell you everything about a dish if you’re curious. And sweet tamarin sauce should just be on everything you ever eat!“

“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“

“An excellent breakfast tastey and perfect hot coffee with excellent service!“

“Consistently good“

“Excellent food! Highly recommend! Fast & friendly service. A great little gem for pho & noodles.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for food for over 10 years, and the quality has always been excellent. The food is always fresh, especially the meat, and everything tastes delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is always neat and clean. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh, high-quality food and great service. It’s one of my favorite places, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Best Wonton Soup all time medicine for the soul !“

“I love the food, the atmosphere, the serving sizes, the menu pricing and the customer service is amazing“

“My family and I could not be more happy about using this venue for our sister Sue’s celebration of life. Kristen and her staff really care for the people they work with and made every effort for us to have anything we needed for a perfect celebration. They care for their business and the people who come through the door. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!“

“We love hanging at Living Roots! It’s a must see for wine lovers! The venues are awesome - yes, there are two, the staff friendly and knowledgable, and the wine… DELISH! My current personal fav is White Session Spritz 🥂And don't forget to try the Charcutterie, which is also delish! We love it so much that we’re heading to the beautiful Hammondsport location - which overlooks the LR’s vineyards & beautiful Keuka Lake - in October, for an autumn horseback ride, with a wine chaser! I can’t wait!
Cheers! 🥂“

“Found this randomly when I was traveling. Stopped because of the awesome name, and it certainly was Naan-tastic! Had a Tikka paneer rice bowl, and it was so delicious. My only complaint is you don't have locations in Massachusetts where I live ❤️ 1,000 Stars!“

“10/10 recommend! Had the best time with our kids this afternoon. Food, games, fun drinks. Everything was amazing! Thanks for a great Saturday afternoon 🙌🏻“

“Ann was an exceptional waitress. We will definitely request her on our next visit. On point with great service.“

“Great food for good price! wish they had real butter though.“

“We went to Murph's with some friends to take advantage of the Coup De Villes band, a local legendary group, abs they didn't disappoint. Great old time music and dancing. Murph's is a fun sports pub with many tv's, plenty of fun noise, abs abeef we were there the crowd was older. The service was good. I would give my fish and chips a 3.5, which isn't available on the rating. Great crust and most fish. Fun server. Crowded and good. We seat in a booth. Much of the crowd was standing. Music is good for dancing, abs there is a small area available. Definitely a pub to experience!!“

“Visited tonight for bingo! I loved it there and everyone was so friendly. Drinks were great and I had the best seltzer I’ve ever had. I will for sure be returning! Such a fun and welcoming 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 love this place. dim sum and noodle dishes are all top notch“

“My girlfriends and I love going to Original Steve's Diner in Victor. The restaurant has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell the staff really loves their jobs and they give excellent attention and service to patrons. The owner John and his wife Elizabeth have truly mastered the art of upscale diner cuisine. Although many people love the ultra delicious pancakes, I was ecstatic when they added crepes. The cheesecake crepes with berries paired with a side of bacon are the perfect pairing of sweet and savory. I will definitely be a regular customer.“

“Highly recommend. Great neighborhood “local” tavern. Excellent Beer list. Great food, large portions. Goes on the Official BeerRanger Trail Marker Roster.“
