I hadn’t been here in a while and I was hoping it was as good as I remembered. It was! Delicious dry aged steaks are just the start (I had the bone in ribeye - fantastic). We had three appetizers at the table: baked crab cake topped with lobster sauce, ravioli, and wagyu meatballs - all were great. Beside the ribeye, our table had a wonderful fillet and two fantastic seafood dishes. Sides included gratin potato casserole and fresh seasonal veggies. We shared two desserts even, but the carrot cake / cheesecake shown in the picture was by far best in show.The service was excellent as always and the bartender in the bar was great as we waited for a table to be ready. Great all around.

Jines Restaurant

Reviewed By GalFromNY10

Jines has been in operation for many years and is especially well-known for its great breakfasts that feature just about anything one might want. I have tried a couple of omelettes and they were first-rate. I have also had lunch there. The various sandwiches and salads don't disappoint. On one occasion, my young nephew enjoyed a thick steak that was cooked to perfection. The waitstaff shows concern for providing good service. Prices are extremely reasonable. This is a good spot to visit in the Park Avenue area.

Hose 22 Firehouse Grill

Reviewed By Rhonda H

After we finally got seated the waitress took forever and a day to take our order and she was not friendly at all. We waited a very long time for our food and in the meantime the waitress didn't stop by our table once to see if we needed anything or if we wanted refills on or beverages. Once the food finally came out we informed her she gave my boyfriend the completely wrong meal and reiterated what he did order. She looked at him as if he was lying, took the food and said it will be ready in a few. After another long wait she brings him yet again another completely wrong meal! We asked her what the problem was and she gave us a dirty look, took the plate and ran off. A few minutes later a manager came over and asked what happened. We explained and she didn't even take anything off the bill for what we did get and gave us a lousy $10 gift card. REALLY?!! Talk about adding insult to injury..like we would ever step foot in that overpriced place again. Not to mention the tables were pushed so close together you felt like you were dining with the strangers next to you.

The Owl House

Reviewed By Lori T

While visiting in Rochester, we dined out at a unique and quaint venue located in the heart of the city on Marshall Street where there is plenty of on-street parking. Literally a front-of-the-house step-up porch took us to the entryway where we encountered a greeter at a host stand. I also noticed the cozy bar on the first level to the right as the host took us upstairs – there was seating throughout the “house” - we passed a room with diners, and then we were taken to an adjoining room to our 4-top table (no linen or condiments, but tableware, napkins, and water glasses) with other diners nearby. I also noticed as I looked out the back second-story window an outdoor deck with several individuals who were dining on this beautiful evening. Our server was very friendly and efficient as he took our drink order - Carmine Sour Cappelletti, Franco-Italian Collins Cocchi Americano, and a Mikkeller Windy Hill and Decaffeinated Coffee Fabricator by Joe Bean @ $3 and our food order - Buffalo Cauli Wings @ $12 brought out while we were waiting for our entrees (they were delicious and accompanied by vegan bleu cheese and celery slaw), our Entrées were brought to the table once the Buffalo Cauli Wings were consumed to include: Grilled Eggplant with carrot puree, moroccan lentils, harissa aioli @ $19; Cripsy Tofu with rhubarb barbque sauce, sweet corn succotash, grilled fennel @ $19; and Grain Bowl of wild rice salad, grilled fennel, zucchini, asparagus and smoked tofu @ $14. The entrees all comfortably portion-sized meals were attractively displayed, and deliciously made with fresh ingredients. The restroom is on the second level, well-maintained but not accessible along with the rest of the property. Our server informed us that The Owl House was celebrating its 10th anniversary and it is understandable by the number of diners we saw that evening. In summary, The Owl House is an interesting venue, unique in its setting, unique in its simplicity, unique in its menu and drink selections. I would strongly recommend making reservations as there is limited seating along with a sizeable number of clients I noticed dining at The Owl House on this Saturday evening.

Gate House is known for its speciality burgers and did not disappoint during our visit. It also has a pretty nice salad selection too. The service was fairly efficient and there was a quick turnaround on receiving entrees

East Ridge Family Restaurant

Reviewed By BillK455

I stopped by this place after a dentist appointment to grab some breakfast before going to work. I passed by the dessert display as I headed to my seat and started watching the local news as I glanced through the extensive menu.I ordered scrambled eggs, french toast and bacon which I got in quick order and hit the spot. The service was very good and I will most likely consider going back for lunch some time as their menu has a lot of choices and if my breakfast was any indication, this will be a nice place to frequent.

Cool spot overlooking the river in Rochester! It was packed with people. Food was ok, but certainly not gourmet. We all had a solid meal. Beer is all Genessee (well, it’s Rochester). ‘Nuff said! Would absolutely come here again. Be prepared to wait , it’s busy on the weekends.

Good Luck

Reviewed By Ron T

A bit hard to find with a sign the size of a postage stamp, but find it and you will be fed and served well. Shabby chic Brooklyn hipster decor in a large industrial space. The ubercool vibe welcomes you instantly. Service was extremely warm, with a team helping out. While all this is great, it is a restaurant and we are here for the food. And Good Luck does not rely on luck to win you over. Our table of 7 shared the red lentil and the chickpea appetizers. Thought the chickpeas with the curried sweet potato were great until we taste the lentils which were amazing. Entrees are sharing size and we had a burger, the fried chicken, tenderloin special and duck. All were great, but the group thought the duck was the best. We are only in Rochester 1-2 times a year and can't wait for our next visit.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Reviewed By cdkassotis

I had heard rave reviews of this spot, so when I got the chance for a free Tuesday dinner, I quickly walked downtown to this spot. First off, service was fantastic, and they quickly set me up with a few samples of local/fall beers. The Genesee Lemon Strawberry Cream Ale was fantastic, and I stuck with that. The staff was quick to make recommendations for food, and I settled on the two meat platter with pulled pork and brisket, with mac n cheese and baked beans. The platter came with a hunk of tasty cornbread, also delicious, and the sides were pretty solid. Didn't fall in love with the beans, but solidly good - the mac n cheese was excellent. The BBQ was clearly where it was at. The pulled pork was packed with flavor, with a light BBQ drizzle on top, and the brisket was thick-sliced with some jalapeños on top. So so good. Would happily come back often the next time I'm in town.

Great experience! Every few weeks the chef features a prix fixe specialized cuisine menu. It is an intimate experience and the food is amazing. In order to secure a table make sure to make a reservation once the menu is released
