“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.

I also got a small side of sweet potato fries dusted with cinnamon with a side of honey. The hamburger's were cooked to our liking, the grilled vegetables were delicious, but the thick sweet potato fries were amazing!!😍😍 We did take out, but the interior is warm with an artisan flair. We will definitely eat here again with friends.“

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!“

“A classic Italian family pizza spot that is clearly doing something right.

I ordered a half cheese, half peppers and onions large pizza for a family birthday and it came out smelling exactly like the pizza my mom used to make when we were kids.

Everyone who works there clearly has decades of history between them, communicating in quick glances, jokes about family members, and sharing a warmth that you can only get in a place that is doing something well. Definitely want to try more of their specialty menu at some point and will be back for more.“

“Incredible sweet potato fries in a historic firehouse!

Hose 22 Firehouse Grill has such a fun and unique atmosphere. It’s a beautifully restored firehouse, and the classic decor throughout really makes the dining experience memorable.

The absolute highlight for me has to be the sweet potato fries—they are truly TOP NOTCH. I still get a vivid memory of that taste every time I look back at our pictures from that visit! The food is consistently good, and the staff does a great job maintaining the historic charm of the building. If you are in the Rochester area and want a great meal in a one-of-a-kind setting, this is a must-visit spot. Don't skip the fries!“
