The Strong National Museum of Play completely lives up to its name — it’s pure fun, learning, and nostalgia rolled into one. We went as a family with both adults and kids, and every one of us had different favorites — which says everything about how much there is to do here. The exhibits are hands-on, creative, and thoughtfully designed, from the classic toys and video games to the pretend play areas and immersive displays. You could easily spend the whole day here and still find new things to explore. The only downside was that the bathrooms could have been cleaner — no soap first thing in the morning and a few stalls looked like they hadn’t been checked since the night before. Hopefully just a timing issue, because everything else was fantastic. The staff were friendly, the layout was well-organized, and the entire experience was memorable from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back — we’re planning for another full day!

This is the best place for kids (and me!)😁 It has the largest areas of play for kids at different ages. It entertains, teaches and inspires my kids. It's such a cool place and I would love to come here a few times a week! I wished the membership was cheaper though.

Best children’s museum I’ve ever been to! We stopped on our way back from the Midwest, going to New England, and my husband is already wanting to plan a trip to Rochester next year, just to spend more time at the museum! My son who was 1.5yo when we visited, LOVED it! I like how there’s activities for kids at every age (even adult nostalgia), and there’s even an outside area for kids to run around in (enclosed).

Outstanding National Treasure in the middle of Rochester! I went to the museum with my 4 year old granddaughter on Monday when senior rates are in effect. It is not cheap and family membership makes more sense than paying admission only a few times a year. It takes several days to appreciate the enormous amount of exhibits housed at the Strong. Parking is $10 on top of admission without a membership. I have been to art and science museums around the world and this museum blew me away. Can't say enough good things about it. Go, just go. Had such a great time that I didn't take many pictures; I was too enthralled with the displays and activities for young and old.

Had a great experience at the Strong Museum! My kids had a blast—there were tons of fun activities for them. I especially enjoyed seeing the classic games from the ’90s, like the pinball machines. Brought back memories! Pretty sure the new generation has no idea how to play some of those, but it was fun showing them.

This was the first time visiting and well worth it. The history of games is deep and will keep you very entertained. The staff was very friendly and the food choices varied. I would have liked access to a reference room with books and possibly a game software catalog. Definitely worth visiting again. Great museum for one or the entire family.

This was our second time visiting with our son. First time he was 2 years old and he had a great time. This visit he's now 7 years old and was able to enjoy different parts of the museum that cater to his age. He even got to have fun in some of the same sections he did as a 2 year old. This museum is really one of my favorites. It's fun for the whole family, not just the little ones. The history of video games and the history of board games really stands out for me. Very clean and easy to navigate. Highly recommend! My son would also like to add his words: "Most museums we only go to once, but this museum is far away from us, and we want to go to it a lot of times. The Strong Museum of Play is really fun. I love all the sections and could spend a whole day there. Can't wait to go back!"

We loved the tour! It takes about 45 minutes and I strongly recommend it. The mansion is well-preserved and you'll definitely feel the atmosphere that this place had a century ago.

The George Eastman Museum is an absolute gem in Rochester, and my recent visit was outstanding from start to finish. The museum itself is beautifully preserved, blending the elegance of George Eastman’s historic home with fascinating exhibits on photography, cinema, and innovation. What truly made the experience memorable, however, was the docent-led tour. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also engaging, weaving together history, personal anecdotes, and fun facts that brought Eastman’s story to life. They had a wonderful way of explaining details about the house, gardens, and Eastman’s legacy in a way that kept everyone in the group interested. I especially enjoyed being taken into the garden, where the docent, Marianne highlighted design elements and shared thoughtful insights I would have missed if I had toured on my own. It gave the whole visit a personal touch and made the history feel vibrant and accessible. If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend taking a docent-led tour—it elevates the entire experience and gives you a much deeper appreciation for both George Eastman and the museum’s collections.

The Eastman Museum was the highlight of our visit to Rochester! The entire place is beautifully maintained and spotless, with stunning interiors that truly reflect its history. Our tour guide was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much richer with their insights. There’s also a cozy café and engaging activities for kids, which makes it great for families. The museum is fully accessible for visitors using wheelchairs and offers large free parking, which was very convenient. Overall, it was the best activity we did in Rochester, and I highly recommend visiting!

This was a great museum and mansion that far exceeded my expectations. As someone else also said, the guided tour is what makes it fun. The stories about George Eastman are eye opening and personal. I really enjoyed looking at all the cameras, video cameras, and technology through time. Eastman was a genius! His home and gardens were so different from other homes of 5he early 1900’s.

I love history and this place is full of it! The mansion is in pristine condition. Definitely get a tour for the docent was excellent. The gardens are beautiful, as you can see we had a perfect day for seeing the grounds. The Eastman Kodak museum is connected to the mansion...so much film history. Read the description of the large camera pic I posted, really interesting.

Amazing museum, house and gardens! We were lucky to hear the organ being played which was very pleasant and making the atmosphere special. Beautifully preserved rooms. They also have a cafe inside the museum. Plenty of parking.

Very kind staff, beautiful property and nicely arranged historical rooms. We found the experience overall not worth the price - especially on the photography/video side. That said, we aren’t huge connaisseurs in this field. Maybe better suited to photography aficionados or if you follow a guided tour?

The Susan B. Anthony Museum & House is a beautifully kept piece of history in our own backyard. My wife, her cousin and I decided to head over on a sunny and hot Saturday afternoon. We went into the museum to buy tickets and browsed for about 10 minutes until the next tour time started. Armani was our guide and she was lovely. She shared many fun facts along with the history that made our guided tour fun. I had no idea why Susan was always pictured so you only saw her side profile and now I know. The home is filled with many historic items, some from when Susan lived there while others reflect the time period of when Susan was alive. The time and energy that went into the house when she lived there is astounding. The third floor was one of my favorite areas. The lady with the alligator purse nursery rhyme was a personal favorite that I had never heard before my tour. Both the museum and the house are air conditioned. We ended up visiting the cemetery afterward to visit both Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass’ graves. Maps are provided at the museum if you are interested in doing that after a tour.

Great museum! The tour guide was great, and I learned a lot!

We had a lovely time at this museum! We bought tickets in advance for the house tour, but it wasn’t busy so you probably don’t need to. The tour was quick and succinct, but we felt like we saw everything and learned a good amount! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, great with engaging some of the younger kids on the tours, and did a great job relating Susan B. Anthony’s historical work to modern times and events happening in our country today.

Both my husband and I just want to say thank you for keeping her legacy alive. I've wanted to visit the museum for a few years. But being self-employed got in the way. We made our reservations online and showed up early. Private and street parking are available. Even your property caretaker was a wonderful man. Since we were early, he asked if we wanted to visit the park down the street where we could see a statue of Susan with Frederick Douglas having tea. We did stop later. Our tour guide was amazing 👏 to remember so many details of a person's life and to inform us with such energy and excitement. I felt like Susan was going to walk inside any minute. The passion and wisdom were truly felt. We both have issues with steps, and she waited patiently and offered a chair for both of us. The house is filled with multiple pieces owned by both Susan and her mother. I could mention so much more! If you believe ♥️ in equal rights for everyone, this place is for you. I'm so sorry I can't remember our guides name 😔

We had a wonderful tour with Emma, our very knowledgeable guide!

We did not take the house tour. The museum is tiny, but the display is thorough - Four walls of a small room covered with info boards, containing photos and snippets of her historical timeline. I read everything slowly enough to absorb and finished in about 30 minutes. So, 5stars for a quick and free event stop and the friendly reception from the lady at the front desk. We were on our way to the airport and it was perfect for the time we had to spare. There is also a reception area, gift shop and restroom.

When you find yourself in times of trouble look to the hardships of history to motivate the movement toward tomorre

The museum always delivers! It provides many always changing experiences and setups. My children love running around learning and playing here. There was a themed event happening this weekend which they do often and it added even more fun to the mix. There were vendors and tables set up to learn about things in our local community. Always clean and refreshing. Would being my kids again and again.

Nothing too fancy to see here. The museum has three floors, but most of the interesting stuff is on the second floor. General admission is $23, and the senior/student discount is just $1 less, which really doesn’t make much sense. For this price, I didn’t feel it was worth it. Compared to all the science museums that I've seen, this was honestly my least favourite! The souvenir shop was also disappointing, very limited selection, and I couldn’t literally find anything I actually wanted to buy.

We had a great time visiting the Rochester Museum & Science Center and the Strasenburgh Planetarium! It’s an amazing spot for families, especially with curious kids who love to explore and learn through hands-on fun. The museum itself is packed with interactive exhibits — from exploring science and technology to diving into local history and nature. It was super engaging and educational without feeling like school work. The Strasenburgh Planetarium was a real highlight. We caught a show in the dome theater, and it was both relaxing and awe-inspiring. The presentation was easy to follow for all ages. It definitely sparked a lot of space-related questions on the ride home! The staff was friendly and patient, and everything felt clean and well-maintained. There’s a small café and a gift shop. I’ve noticed some families brought lunch from home and ate in the café area, but we drove about 4 minutes away to grab fast food. Overall, it’s a great place to spend a day learning and having fun as a family. Highly recommend if you’re in the Rochester area, especially on a rainy day or when you’re looking for something meaningful to do with the kids! Clean, educational and fun. Highly recommend!

I love it here and look forward to going again! There was so much great information on display in creative ways. While I went on my own, as an adult, I noticed that there were many interactive tools for children to learn from. I especially appreciate how both the museum and planetarium center the voices and experiences of Indigenous people.

As far as a MUSEUM goes this one is fantastic. That being said, this place is meant for field trips and schools, as it's way better than a school day, but comes up short for a family day. I scoured reviews and looked for photos of exhibits but came up with very little information before we went. I took a 9 year break from RMSC and decided to take the kids back this week. The kids are 27 , 11 , 7 and 5 years old. Though they tried their best to keep a positive attitude, this was misery for them. We covered the entire museum in under 90 minutes. Though something here or there would get their attention for say, 60 seconds, we really struggled here. We arrived at 12:15 and there was NO parking. They are charging too much for this museum. It's a museum. It's mostly look at the exhibits and walk around. And frankly kids don't want to do that. 10-12$ pp would have been reasonable. They are charging "play museum" prices but come up beyond short. The museum is amazing. For a school trip. For a learning environment. But we do not consider this a fun family day.

I visited the RMSC with my 2 teenage boys. I was worried that they'd be bored there but I was pleasantly surprised! Even though they know how and why things occur, they still had a blast playing and tinkering at all the learning stations. We had a very thorough lesson on earthquakes, watched a rocket launch propelled by liquid nitrogen and stood in a faraday cage while electricity arched towards us at the Electricity Theater. Science sure is fun!

Had a great time. Museum has interactive activities for the kids. The day we went they had an engineering workshop along with a small medical workshop. This place has 3 floors of activities. There is an elevator for quick access to all the levels including the ground level where a small dinning and snacking area is located. They also have lockers for rent. Plenty of parking

I really enjoyed my visit to the Memorial Art Gallery. It has a decent and diverse collection that’s worth exploring. However, a couple of things could be improved. Many paintings on the first floor didn’t have any descriptions, which made it hard to fully appreciate them. Also, the ancient Middle East section is placed in a bad spot in the museum. Besides, it has very beautiful manuscripts and relics, but the lack of lighting didn’t do them justice (shown in one of the photos). Still, overall a nice place to spend a few hours.

A gem of a place. I went knowing very little about the Gallery, other than it was organized thematically. I found works that I've only seen online. To say that my heart felt deep happiness doesn't describe that visceral feeling when art touches you. It's different for everyone. And indeed, there is something for everyone! Many time periods, styles and regions are represented: thematically, by countries, techniques and centuries. The presentation on the Italian Baroque Organ was marvelous. To be surrounded by the genre paintings, made it easier to imagine that this was part of daily life. Be sure to check the time 3pm on the actual date, not the general description that incorrectly says 3:30pm.

We love this museum both inside and out! We have taken so many pictures in their outdoor sculpture park! We most recently went for their Pride celebration. They have scavenger hunts for the kids both inside and outside! The Rotating gallery is always worth checking out! ;)

Well arranged and comprehensive gallery for a medium-sized city. Particularly great selection of Renaissance paintings, some great post-impressionist works. The organ is spectacular. Stunning building as a backdrop. Great display of local, contemporary artists.

A beautiful and well balanced collection. A must see. Larger than one would expect so give yourself enough time to appreciate its offerings.

Incredible Gallery !! Rembrandts, Monets. Historical artifacts that you will not believe are in front of you. Fascinating.

While I enjoyed all the available art this is the piece that truly spoke to me. I am AuDHD and when I saw this I was like hey..... Thats my brain! It felt so validating to see this representation display in such a great place as the Memorial Art Gallery and I would be willing to bet many others do too.

My family and I enjoyed all the changes that have been made. Last time I visited it was in 2017. It was nice to see junior volunteers staggered through the zoo and interact with our kids. They taught our kids some fun facts at each station.

We visited the Seneca Zoo on a very hot day, and most of the animals were staying cool in the shade, which made it a bit hard to see or spot them. The zoo itself is clean and family-friendly, and we especially loved seeing young teens at tables sharing interactive information about the animals—it was a nice, educational touch. That said, costs can add up quickly. A family with one child might manage fine, but with three kids, it gets expensive fast. Most souvenirs and food were pretty pricey. It’s a fun outing overall, but I’d recommend going on a cooler day and budgeting ahead if you’re bringing the whole crew.

It's always a fun, edu time at the Zoo. Animal enclosures seem clean, and the animals always seem comfortable and at ease. I always appreciate staff giving facts and making the trips personal. The food is good, bathrooms are clean, the kids are always having fun with the climbers or water area as well. We fed the Giraffes, it was a wonderful experience led by the staff.

The Zoo let you get very close to a variety of animals. Even allowing you to go behind the scenes into the animal hospital in the back, and see the both the indoor and outdoor enclosures for some animals to view them during colder days. I loved the very simple trail that lead you through all the exhibits, made it easy to stay on track and not get lost. The only downside is there was a very foul smell unlike anything I’ve ever smelt at zoo. It was present upon entering the property, parking lot, and all throughout the zoo itself.

It's really small, so they don't have a lot of animals, but for kids, they have most of the important ones, like elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, the otters are fun to watch. Never saw the polar bear. It's clean, the staff seem nice, but it's a small zoo in a small city. $12.00 seemed steep for what you get, but I know it's expensive to feed and care for the animals.

I really enjoyed seeing all the animals with my family. We learned about many facts and behaviors of several of the animals. I appreciate the care that is being given to the animals as well as continuous education on what's best for them.

An enjoyable day trip. Perfect for children. A linear park. Clean and well maintained. Walked through the zoo. Rode the tram car back to the parking area. Park lands surrounding the zoo are worth a trip back to explore the river gorge and walkway over the river.

There was a fenced in Splash Pad for kids. Around 5:00 several adults joined the kids. Spacious picnic areas. The Merry-go-round under a pavilion was a big hit for kids. The boardwalk out to the lighthouse was a long stretch to walk in 93 degree heat. It was 🔥. The swimming area was secluded to a small area due to lack of lifeguard staff, so it was very crowded in the swimming zone. The shoreline could use a little cleaning and the water was murky to me. The kids said the farther you go out the clearer the water was and it was cold. I chose not to get in, but to watch and enjoy the fresh air. 93 degrees 🎯.

Beautiful area blending autumn woods with beach views! Lots of dog walkers, sailing enthusiasts and people enjoying the beach vibes. Very hard to believe it's a lake!

Love this beach. They could ise more picnic tables in shaded area. But other than that it was a beautiful clean beach. Our youth group had a great time.

A clean and wonderful beach with plenty of volleyball nets for some fun games. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. Restrooms were bit dirty.

Beach volleyball, swimming picnicking, live music at the gazebo, walk the pier and ride the vintage carousel. Plenty of fun during the day. But, a note of caution... Don't go there after sunset.

Beautiful, go during the week. Nice bike riding. But September and couldnt find any bathrooms open.

Beach was nice and clean. Swimming closes at 7p. Brand new playground (worth checking out). Not too crowded. Only negative was loud music being played in one of the shelters. This should not deter you from checking it out.

Very fun local amusement park, featuring the world's oldest continuously operating roller coaster! A bit like taking a step back in time, Seabreeze doesn't have a 6ft mouse, on-site hotels, or fine dining. It also lacks $95 ticket prices, massive lines, and crowds that are actually town populations. What Seabreeze delivers aplenty is small-town amusement park charm and family fun. The rides vary from typical carnival rides, to those appropriate for small children (including a beautiful carousel), to thrill-seekers' delights. The water attractions range likewise across parkgoers of different sizes and swimming levels. The food is largely old-fashioned, amusement park fare--think pizza and hamburgers, with a wide variety of snacks. For healthier or vegetarian options, it's likely best to bring your own cooler, which is an option embraced by park rules. (Just remember to leave the glass at home!) The water park, in particular, can be a bit difficult for those with mobility challenges, but most of the park is fairly accessible. The smaller size and occasional breathtaking lake views help keep Seabreeze manageable for those with sensory processing difficulties, but as with any kid-frequented area, I suggest earplugs. Shaded picnic areas are also available, and these provide some relief from sun and crowds.

We visited Seabreeze in early August(2025) and this was the most fun we had as a family in a long long time. We have been to various amusement parts but none of them was enjoyed by everyone in the family as some of them are good for small kids and others for big kids and few for adults(some only for big kids and adults). However Seabreeze stood out as it was great fun not just for my young one and teenager but also me and my wife. we spent a good 9 hours there and want to go back again and will probably do so as soon as we can. The water park and all rides are lot of fun, the mini circus/stunts were a pleasant surprise. Overall staff are cordial and helpful. Decent food options on premises which are priced decently as well. Only downside in the entire experience was that they were only accepting cash for lockers which was a bummer, not sure if this was a temporary situation. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed this place and hope to visit again.

I just can’t tell you how much I love this place. I lived 2 miles from it in 1978, and when I went back to visit, it was almost like stepping back in time. There were plenty of newer rides, but the classics were still there and unchanged. A perfect place for a family to enjoy a day. Thank you Seabreeze, for bringing back such wonderful memories and making me feel like a kid again…

We had such a great day at Seabreeze! The kids had an absolute blast on the rides and water slides, and we were really impressed with how clean and safe the park felt. The lines moved quickly, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy more rides without a long wait. The only thing that would make the experience even better would be if there were rules about people leaving their belongings on the picnic tables to “reserve” them. We had a tough time finding a place to sit and eat even though many tables were sitting empty with items on them. Aside from that, everything was wonderful and we’ll definitely be back.

Ordered tickets online and used codes and only paid 102$ for me and my two kids to visit on a Wednesday for the entire day. Open 11am to 8pm. Waterpark 12 to 7pm. Tons of things to do. Lots of staff and helpful employees.

Kid friendly all ages. Large enough for the day without being overwhelming. Lockers start at 1$ per open and take quarters. We recommend water shoes as the anti slip on pavement and pool floors is rough on the feet. You can leave shoes at the bottom of water slides and collect after you come off. Parking is free. Park is spotless every morning to start the day. If you buy tickets online you can save 3$ per ticket. They have dippn dots ice cream starting at 7$ You can't take phones in pools or water slides. Lines are standardly short if it's not a Saturday or holiday weekend. On a Sunday 0-10 minutes wait for most rides. Water slides take longer. What appear to be short lines don't move fast. You can bring your own food and drinks in. No glass bottles. Sunglasses allowed on rides and slides at your own risk. Lazy river was cold water. Food options available, but nothing exciting. A classic favorite for 3 decades for my family.

I've been coming here for 35 years. The only thing that seems to change are the People. Lol. The "Ride-Waiting Lines" take Forever to ACTUALLY get to the Ride itself. By the end of the day, We Counted how many times we got to Actually Ride on Coasters/Water Slides and it was only 9 times. We were there from Open until Close. Overall, Satisfied but Not.

Had some of the freshest and most pleasant tasting fried chicken I think I’ve ever had here as a part of the chicken and waffles dish. Also noteworthy ketchup seems to be freshly made as well? Felt like they went the extra mile on freshness of ingredients, and that only augmented an already solid dining experience. Menu and staff very accommodating and understanding of dietary restrictions. It is a little loud when it’s at peak capacity due to this restaurant being situated in a small house, but it’s quite charming overall. Will be back with friends sometime soon

Great atmosphere and excellent service!! It felt very welcoming and the servers were friendly, helpful, and awesome!! The only disadvantage for me (and my budget) is that I was not expecting to be this pricey, since I’ve been to almost every single restaurant around this area. I’m also definitely spoiled by the variety and wide range of food (and big portions) that Rochester has to offer, so the portions and flavors weren’t super impressive. But don’t mind me!, I honestly just had fries, mac and cheese and pho banh mi. So maybe I’m not being fair. The mac and cheese was delicious! I recommend! The mocktails were perfect! I will definitely come back on my next paycheck and try other dishes!!!

The Owl House is such a cute spot for brunch, lunch, and dinner. I brought my mom and husband for the first time today for brunch and they both loved the food, atmosphere, and experience. We already can't wait to come back to try out the dinner menu.

We had a lovely dinner at Owl House. The food was great and the portion size is huge. The lychee martini was perfect, but my fave was the porkchop, it was sooooo good. Jenna, who took our orders and served, was fantastic!

Literally no joke…. The best food and drinks I’ve had in my life! We weren’t going to get drinks but we did… one was a strawberry something with foam that was light and great and some bourbon thing with a tincture lol had us lit! The food was great we initially came since they had great vegan options but it was superb… We order cauliflower wings super delicious The fried mushroom abosolutely great And my all time best burger the BVE BURGER With rosemary fries…. Bro 10/10. Not only that our server who name I forgot to put here here was phenomenal in service honesty and knowledge…. Great atmosphere even better food.

Im only in Rochester for a short time and I am so glad this is one of the few stops I made. Steak was cooked perfectly, mashed potatoes were nice and creamy. Our server and hostess were both super nice and attentive. Shame I'm only here for a short time or time would be a regular spot for me.

We had a lovely evening sitting on the patio for dinner. Love the vibe and all the great food options catering to many different preferences and needs. The Buffalo cauliflower was amazing as was the salmon and pork chop. If we were locals we’d be back often. Loved it!

The focaccia bread was soggy with olive oil and it was personally too much to consume. The calamari and the fries are way over salted, it was very difficult finishing the whole plate. The dishes I like best are the oysters and the octopus

Lento is consistently my fiancée's and my favorite restaurant, and I don't think they get nearly enough recognition for how good they are compared to places in the area like Redd, Good Luck, Nosh, Cure, and others. This is one of few places in Rochester where it feels like the chef and team have been given creative license to experiment with new dishes consistently, and it works. It's not easy for a restaurant to have a menu that updates as much as Lento's to be as consistently good as they are. Both their kitchen and table staff are excellent. We have made it a habit to stop by every couple months to try their latest options. Some tips and notes from our visits over the last couple years: - If you like mixed drinks on the sweeter side, try the Lady Marmalade - Order the bread service. It's a few bucks for a square of decadent focaccia sized for two. The focaccia has a different blend of ingredients each time we've come (I think they switch it up daily?), so it's fun to see what the nightly variation is. - Their fish dishes are usually spectacular. This latest time we went I ordered the miso black cod (as someone who usually does not go for cod) and it blew me away. The exception to this rule seems to be the fish fry; for some reason the couple times we've ordered it, it's come out overcooked. - The "quartino" specials for wine are usually a good blend and come as a glass and a half with a small carafe (I didn't know what a "quartino" was, in case others are in the same boat)

An amazing farm to table restaurant in ROC. Recommend reservation and arrive early so you start at their open seat bar. Cocktails and Mocktails are very well crafted, fun, and ingenious. Ambience: locals with friends, date, smaller families. Space is very inviting so you can have a great conversation and enjoy your food. On to the meal. Please order bread. They bake it in house and it is flavorful, artisan and comes with house butter that is tasty and light. Crab ravioli was an excellent appetizer for 2. They seve two big ragioli on top of a magical green garlic sauce and garnished with tiny croutons and black ink. Fantastic. Salmon was very tasty and was adeptly prepared on a bed of veggies. My haddock with risotto was simply delicious. Risotto was creamy but not heavy, haddock was so soft, like butter. Japanese mushrooms a d red shrimp made the whole plate a great balance of flavors and healthy ingredients. They also have a great wine selection from organic wineries. We had a Pinot Noir from Alsace and it was a great option for our menu. They can recommend pairing. Our server, Gabriella, was very friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, ingredients and origins of the food. She kept us well served, was kind and made us laugh. The greeter was also very friendly and gave us our table a few minutes before our original reservation. All in all, a delightful experience. We will be back!

I had a dock confit, it was very delicious 😋, my partner got the Monk fish and that was also very delicious. Portion sizes very good, if watching your weight too.

Absolutely love this restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious. They change their menu to match the seasonal food availability (as everywhere should) and l love that they source locally (a true "farm to table" experience). The staff is always friendly and provide great service, and you can make a reservation online with no fuss (we have never waited for a table). This is our favorite place to get a fish fry in Rochester. Great drink menu and highly recommend the chocolate pot de creme dessert, as well (the sea salt and caramel are perfect)!

Easily the best meal you could treat yourself to….Duck was amazing. Service from Mikhail was perfect. Great place for a family dinner celebration. Appreciated the invite

Great food and service! Everything was perfect from the beet salad to the duck entree and the $1 oysters (every Tuesday). 5/6/25 back again and still fantastic!!!

My partner and I visited Rev BBQ for dinner over the weekend for the first time and were pleasantly surprised overall. The ambiance of the dim lighting and clean environment made it easy to relax. Staff was attentive and kind to assist us in any questions we had or extra items we needed. We ordered the Sampler platter, 6 Carolina Vinegar wings, and a Brisket sandwich. All 3 exceeded our expectations! The meat was juicy, very tender, and so flavorful. I will definitely be coming back!

Stopped in around 4:30, we were greeted, seated at the bar, and offered a menu. Ordered the Cobb salad, southern crab dip, hot honey buffalo wings, barber style fries, and fried shrimp. Everything came fast and was AMAZING. Plus the bartenders were attentive and friendly. We also tried the New Pony and the tropic twist. I highly recommend, they don't miss !

Went last year during "theater season" hit it first this year not even realizing it had changed. I gotta say it was pretty good compared to our local BBQ places and even better priced. Wife and I each got two meats meal. I got ribs, brisket, fries and a seasonal side of sprouts. Wife got the brisket, sausage, mashed potatoes and sauce flight. First comment is the sauces are better than most other places but clearly have combos (the buffalo would go great with wings). The sides were really good, the Brussels sprouts should be made permanent. Very very very minor complaint is id say brisket was a tad dry but still very good. Ribs were the star. Wife and I were talking the other day on no one can do ribs well. And the obvious question when going to any BBQ place, HOW WAS THE CORNBREAD. I would come back just for the cornbread. Knocked it out the park, skip desert and get yourself another slice of cornbread. Another highlighted point, price was great for what we got!

Our first time. Atmosphere was wonderful. Service was good. Bartender was fun to watch and very knowledgeable. Drinks were fun. Bar menu is very specialty and a refreshing change from the everyday options. I was a little disappointed at the very very small menu. One beef choice, one fish choice, one pasta choice. There was certainly options for starters and small dishes. But not many options for main course which left me choosing the special of the day. It was a shrimp with pesto risotto and smoked mushroom. While it was delicious bit pricey for three shrimp and risotto!! However I have to give kudos to the chef the risotto was perfection. Our group ordered the lasagna. The wagyu flank steak and the salmon. I will post photos of both the atmosphere and our food! I would definitely say give it a try, It was a fun place to experience!

TLDR: just okay bbq food. Overpriced and already overhyped. We were excited to check this place out and were totally let down. Overall the food is okay, meh at best. It’s not amazing, it’s not horrible, it’s edible, but everything was just bland, and what also made it horrible was we spent over $100 just to try a few of their meats (brisket, ribs, a few wings, and Mac ‘n cheese) to see how they stack up. Wings were salty but not great. Brisket had some smoke rings and was at least cut correctly (altho thicker than usual) and wasn’t super dry but not a lot of flavor. Ribs weren’t dried out but not much flavor going on. My wife asked for some sauce to try and they gave her two containers labeled “Vin” and yup, it was vinegar with some dry rub sprinkled in it. Mac and cheese was forgettable. Cornbread had about a 1/4 inch of flavor and the rest was … eh.

Took my son out for his birthday. I called for 6:30 res. Got a message that we were due for our res. At 6. We got there early so we didn't lose our table and had to wait for the rest of our party to arrive at 6:30. Got cocktails before going up to our table, I asked for a rum and coke got a bourbon and coke, that was replaced with correct order (thank goodness because a tap beer and rum and coke cost $21). Food was ok, there are better BBQ places around. We were a table of 6. We had brisket Mac n cheese and pulled pork Mac and cheese. Mac was like warm by the time we were served. Meat was quite good tasting. My son had brisket it was ok but a lot of fat, had to ask for some BBQ sauce for it (I would have thought they would want people to try their sauces and took 10 minutes to get it) DIL had 2 meat platter, said ribs didn't have a lot of flavor, corn bread was good. 3 servings of burgers, they were good. Loaded fries had cole slaw plopped on top of the meat. Cole slaw was chopped in small pieces not the greatest.Had to ask for water refills. Their websites for Rev BBQ and Rev BBq outpost are very confusing on their open times. Did not realize there are two restaurants in the same place. One is for lunches the other for dinner. So if you want dinner be sure to look up REV BBQ and not the outpost info. Sorry don't believe we will try it again.

We were really disappointed with our visit to Rev BBQ. The atmosphere feels like something out of a prison—stark black-and-white décor with no warmth or character at all. My brisket was both dry and overly fatty; one slice was practically half fat. My wife’s turkey was bland and lacked any real flavor. The one bright spot was the coleslaw, which was fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to save the meal. Overall, Rev BBQ was a miss for us.

This was our first time visiting Good Luck! The staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered a beer and a cocktail which were both very good. For food, we had a mushroom ragu dish which was creamy and well seasoned. It was a little more tangy than we would have liked. For entree, we shared a halibut dish. The meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce was good as well. Our only complaint is that while we were told the dishes tend to be bigger since they were meant to be shared, both the pasta and the fish were quite small. When sharing among two people, we each got only a few bites of each dish. We felt like for the price, the portions could have been a little more generous. But overall, we enjoyed the dinner.

I ordered the Good Luck Burger. It tasted good, but I wish they hadn’t cut it into quarters, and I would have preferred the cheese melted on the burger. The fries were really nice and crispy. I sat at the bar, and the service was excellent. The server was very attentive.

Easily one of the best restaurant’s in Rochester! The service was top tier! The wait staff was super attentive, knowledgeable and very efficient. Since this was an anniversary dinner we tried several different cocktails from the menu, all were excellent! I highly recommend the 32oz Rib eye, Chicory salad, Cacio e Pepe (pasta dish) to name a few. We will definitely be coming back!

Overrated, bad service, over priced. The reviews of this place makes it seem like the next Michelin restaurant. Unfortunately it is very much overrated. Parking is difficult already to start. Atmosphere overall is ok and it does have ok decor, but unfortunately that's about all this place offers For whatever reason the staff seems to be intentionally unfriendly or aloof, and on top of that they were very quiet, almost difficult to hear. This is a loud place so it's quite bad from a service point of view. Food is extremely expensive as one can see. Despite the high price, the food isn't good and portion sizes are even worse. The lamb dish was super small and you can see from the picture. Cost of a whooping $34 and the dish barely had any lamb! Maybe a bite or two! The rest is just sauce and Couscous, which are not expensive. So what is with the exorbent price??? The gnoki dish is marginally better as it had more than a few bites of short ribs. Still the portion size is small and overall it's pretty mediocre for the price. Worst part is we were told by the staff that the portion size for one dish is enough for two people, which was patently untrue... Somehow they managed to mess up green tea ☕! It tastes very strange. It almost had a bitter taste to it and the glass was too small for the tea bag. This restaurant is only good in terms of vibes and atmosphere, and that's it. Very sad! We had to go to another restaurant afterwards.

The server Kim was so sweet and knowledgeable. The food was very quick but I did come during the week and made reservations so not much waiting was needed. The food was great but the tiramisu was phenomenal!!! Best IV ever had in my life! That homemade scoop of creamy ice cream with it just made the dish. Overall great night and great food.

Had zero expectations (was there for a work trip) and was absolutely surprised. I only took pics of the pizza, but great dishes all around and excellent cocktails. The pizza was a Roman style, leaning more toward a focaccia. Very good bake, the undercarriage was crisp along with the edges, very nice crumb, simple and and clean sauce, high quality cheese. The cheese was not just mozzarella, it was mixed with a fontina or blue cheese which gave it a bit of a funky flavor, which wasn’t my fav but still good and unique. Def worth a visit here

Everything was absolutely perfect. Celebrating a special occasion with both of my sons and the food did not disappoint. As a chef myself,it is hard to be impressed across the board, but hey nailed it. Chefs dishes were designed beautifully and executed perfectly,tasted amazing. Server was friendly yet professional,educated and attentive. Even the "bus" girl was a delight and excellent. Will be back and hopefully visiting the sister restaurant that they have. Be proud of yourselves in a hard industry.

This is a great place for BBQ and delicious sides. We stopped here for dinner toward the end of the evening. We ordered different meals with different sides. All of the portions were generous and provided more than enough to share. Even the kids meals were large - one main and two sides. The pulled pork, brisket, ribs and chicken wings were great. The sides were all good too - mac and cheese, greens and smoked turkey, mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is fun. Be prepared to wait for a table, or make a reservation a few days in advance. There is street parking nearby. They also offer takeout.

I love this place! Started coming here when they first came to Rochester. Haven't been here in over 10 years (I live far away). came home for a festival and family. Brought 2 friends from DE with me. We all LOVED it. Meat was so tender and as always... Sauce was delicious! I wish we had one closer. I will have to continue using my Dino BBQ cookbooks. We all ordered the 3 little meats and 2 sides. Mac&cheese, corn, mashed, and fries.

This came highly recommended to us and I really liked the restaurant. Great building, atmosphere, etc. Loved the decor, especially the Dino band wall thing. Service was a bit slowe, especially since it wasn't busy at the time but I think our table on the stage was far from the waitress' section. Food had great portions and the price was very reasonable. The food itself... it was good but a little over-rated. The whipped sweet potatoes didn't hit the spot with their lack of sweetness and the cornbread didn't have that flavorful melt-in-your-mouth I enjoy. The bbq sauce, brisket and pork belly were good but not great. Overall, good place to eat, just wasn't up to the hype.

These guys do an absolutely phenomenal job!! Such a unique spot, service is fast and everyone is friendly, food comes out quicker than you'd expect and the taste, fantastic. Whether you have been or have yet to visit, this is a must stop, always! Great job guys! Can't wait to be back soon!

Stopped by here after a trip to Toronto. Highly recommended by Ledditors and IMO...pretty warranted. Our waitress, a middle aged white lady, was awesome. She was funny and took care of us. Food is pretty kickass, we had the grilled wings with Wango Habernero and Jerk. Sauce on the side which was great. Wings were tender, had a nice light smokey flavor and were big. Cooked very nicely through with decent char. I had the two meat combo plate with St.Louis Ribs and Brisket, Mac n Cheese and Baked Beans as the sides. Ribs were good, they come unsauced which I like. They have a bottle of BBQ sauce at the table which you can use to your liking. The BBQ sauce was great IMO, almost no sweetness with a slightly sour tomatoey vinegary taste which IMO really helps balance out the heavy smokiness of the meats. The brisket, I've had better, more melt in your mouth type. But it wasn't bad. The baked beans were what you'd expect from BBQ beans, sweet and savory, tender soupy beans. What took it up a notch was that they added some jalapenos to it which gave it a slight kick. The Mac n Cheese was AMAZING IMO. I've never had such good Mac n Cheese. It was gooey, had a slight kick and I think what really makes it great is probably the cheese blend they use, it has such a nice tang to it that it really hits that part of your brain that goes "Yeah I'm eating cheese". Most of the Mac n Cheese I've had didn't have that tang. The food wasn't mind blowingly good but it wasn't terrible either. Definitely above average and if given the chance, I'd for sure stop by again. Very solid place for BBQ

I got the combo plate with 3 meats consisting of prime brisket, St. Louis Ribs, and pork belly. Came with corn bread and I chose Mac and cheese and mashed potato with gravy. The prime brisket was a bit dry but other times, it was juicy. The ribs were good. The dry rub and sauce were delicious. The pork belly had some really good pieces and some super dry. Service did take longer than anticipated but I’m pretty sure it was due to them being busy. On this night, we spent only 30 mins waiting for a table but other times I’ve been, I waited up to 1.5 hours for a table so it just depends on the day and time you go!

We got the $49 dollar for 2 to 3 ppl. It was more for 3 of us. Food was excellent. Love the cornbread. We are the left over the next day. Food still tasted good.

Went here with my fiancé to celebrate that we are getting married in a few days and this was the place we went on our first date 7 years ago. Had a reservation for 6:30pm on a Tuesday night. As the hostess sat us down I noticed there were a few servers working but the section we got sat in our server was focused on a large party. We had our water poured, but we sat there for at least 15 minutes before our server greeted us. She was too focused on the big table she had, which I understood at the time. What frustrated me is that all the tables that got sat after us had their food, drinks, dessert, and checks way before us, and no one seemed to care about our table or at least acknowledge that they were busy. Unfortunately, we didn’t end up getting our appetizer until 7:30pm and then our entrees until 8:05pm. I’ve worked in several restaurants and hospitality businesses throughout my life and I understand when places get slammed because of big tables. I feel as though the hostess messed up and put us in the wrong section. The whole night we felt like a complete afterthought and our server was no where to be found. We didn’t end up leaving until 8:30pm because it took her so long to get our check and to-go boxes. Overall the food was good but was ruined by such an awful service experience that I’m not disappointed I hadn’t been here in a little over 7 years. I hate leaving reviews like this but I’m so sad that what was supposed to be a cute night was ruined by this lack of planning. Everyone around us seemed happy though and their server was attentive. We were hoping to try the desserts and get coffee but had other plans and being there for 2 hours and waiting over an hour and a half for dinner was enough for us. I hope this isn’t their normal operation, especially on a random Tuesday night.

We went last Friday night. We ordered an Appetizer, drinks and we both ordered a steak. The service was very slow and we felt forgotten several times. I ordered a ribeye steak medium rare and it was very tough and didn't have enough seasoning, especially salt. Overall, there are much nicer restaurants that are better priced.

This is supposed to be one of rochester's nicest restaurants. The service and the people there are impeccably sociable and extremely attentive to your needs. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.The food is very good, but I wouldn't consider it outstanding for the prices they charge. This is more of a destination and atmosphere place to be seen.

Nice spot with a great view of the river if sitting outside. Some classic Italian staples with quality ingredients and a skilled bartender.

We normally LOVE Pane Vino, but our most recent visit was simply not great. I ordered one of the specials, and it was not described accurately. The first error was that the server incorrectly stated the type of fish being served - which was no big deal to me, as she caught it after I ordered and came over to clarify. The more prominent issue was that it was not described as being an excessively spicy dish, as most restaurants will typically warn you of this. When my meal came, I tried to push through it - but it was inedible for me due to the extreme heat. I am usually quite tolerate of spicy, but this dish was loaded with hot peppers. Thankfully they were able to swap out that part of the meal for me - and the fish was still great. The other less than satisfactory part of our visit was that, as a party of two - amongst other much larger parties, we felt that we were not properly serviced. Other parties that came in after us received their bread, and placed their orders before us. When I initially commented on the spiciness of my meal, the server promised to keep my water full vs replace the dish. My water was NOT kept full, and we then had to ask to swap out the pasta. I'm not sure what happened but it seemed like we fell through the cracks even moreso after making the polite "complaint". Once we were finished with our meals, we waited another 30 minutes for the check - even though the server said she would be right back with it and then went by our table at least a half dozen times before arriving with the check.

Beautiful setting on the Genesee River. Restaurant was decorated nicely for Halloween 🎃. Excellent menu tasteful presentation. Service was very good

The manager was wonderful! I called to set up a surprise anniversary dinner for my parents and she made sure everything was perfect. Everything went great and my parents had a wonderful time! They loved the food and the staff made sure their night was special.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The cocktails were top-notch, perfectly crafted and delicious. On top of that, the ambiance was stunning, with a warm, stylish vibe. Stellar service made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend! *Gratuity added for parties of 7 or more. 3% charge if paying with credit card.*

Large bar. Korean inspired food mixed with steaks, burgers, non traditional pizza and even a Mexican appetizer. We had pork belly buns which were the largest we have seen and some of the best tasting and thickest pork belly I’ve ever had (3 in an order). Delicious. The Mexican carne sarda on a tortilla was good but cold. The bone marrow was well done with a nice presentation but hardly any food for the price. Eggplant/sausage/ricotta pizza was awesome with charred dough and taste great overall but can’t taste any eggplant. Drinks were done perfectly. Extreme loud in there which is the biggest issue. Seabass was incredible and cooked perfectly- nice flavors but overwhelming so you don’t really taste the fish. Glass Noodles and steak was a hit with our son. Wayu smash burger was insane and super tender. Unfortunately, the sticky ribs was a disappointment. Some of the ribs had no meat at all, and the kimchi potato salad was gross. Way too expensive for what you get. The hundred dollar tomahawk steak is overpriced considering it’s all pre-cut so the meat is cold by time you eat it. Fried dough nibs were too hard and not as good as other places. Seemed frozen and pre made. Service was fantastic. Ryan our waiter was great. People were dressed casual. But you’re going to see all types on the spectrum in this place. Not classy at all. Overall it was good. Spent $323 for 4 people before taxes. Owner came around to make sure everything was ok. She is very nice. The large multi people $50 appetizer called the Korean sit down is great as well.

Nosh absolutely delivered on every level. The food was nothing short of phenomenal— we ordered the Korean Sit Down and the Pollo Loco. Both dishes were packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, making the whole experience even better. And the ambience was on point—stylish, warm, and the perfect vibe for dinner with friends. I want to revisit Rochester just to eat here!

Food was incredible and full of flavor. Cioppino had the most flavorful seafood and the bread on the side was a show of its own. Duck was cooked beautifully and the mash was great in both texture and taste. Cocktails were both smooth and had great flavors. Everything was made better by the service. Brad was attentive, made great recommendations, and just overall the best service we’ve ever had. Would come back! Well worth the money spent!

This place never disappoints. I have dined here several times and each time is a wonderful experience. Each of their vegetarian dish is curated with thought and burst of flavors. Highly recommend!

✨Dinner diaries at @NoshRochester ✨ Started with crispy cauliflower & Korean sit-down apps that actually filled the table (and our hearts). Skipped the bar rush, but our server brought the vibe and the cocktails fast 💨 Bone marrow for the main; rich, buttery, and bougie… but don’t come hungry if that’s your only pick 😅 Ambience: 10/10 Food: Flavorful & photo-worthy 📸 Would nosh again? Absolutely. ✔️

*pizza only review* I appreciate the Neapolitan 2.0 style pizza here. Very likely a Nuvola Super flour, the gluten structure was off the charts. Looks very pretty, although my pizza was a bit over-charred on one side. Well cooked, but the bottom was slightly hard, prob due to the cold rise/temp going in the oven. Very good quality cheese, clean simple sauce and perfect balance on the toppings. Excellent crumb and chew. A little light on dough flavor/salt. Overall a solid Neapolitan and would def order again

Cure has the perfect vibe, whether it be a cozy date for couples or a celebration for a bigger group. Moules-frites and coq a vin are my go-to dishes there. Drinks can't go wrong - try Like a Shark and Velvet Collar!

I made myself a reservation because you never know, even though I was a solo diner. It did fill up rather quickly. I’ve heard this was the best restaurant in town, and once I saw the offerings, I knew I had to try it. I was able to order off menu for my cocktail, which was impressive given the waiter knew what I had asked for without having to explain it. Both the food and drinks were heavenly, melt in your mouth kind of sensatiable. Bonus points for the staff having Shout wipes available after I made a spill on my dress, and all I had asked for was some club soda. This *is* the best place in town, no notes!

This is a 5 star restaurant. Absolutely superb ingredients and immaculate orchestration of them. The short rib beef and biscuit was phenomenal. Poached egg was done perfectly with yolk that walked out of the white, rather than ran. Biscuit was brown and flaky with buttery and salty goodness. Nailed the strawberry danish real proper like with flaky and soft pastry and wholesome compote. Came back for dinner a few days later and the scallops were delicious with the perfect juicy and soft (but not raw) texture. It had a basil and herbed beats that I could eat—and I don’t eat beats. Ricotta cnocchi was so damn smooth it slid down the gullet with ease; no heavy chewing or rich resistance. Haven’t even had the pork chop I ordered yet but suspect it will be on point. Regardless, the delivery of all the above warrants a 5 star rating. Highly recommend. Mad props to the chef and cooks.

Very good food and an attentive wait staff. The atmosphere is kind of old stagecoach stop, steam punk vibe. It's not very large, but it's worthorth the trip. We had reservations but may have been able to sit at the bar.

So let me start out by complimenting how amazing the food was and how great our waiter was. I had the steak and it was perfectly cooked and delicious. My wife had the scallops and they were flawless. Amazing drinks! Our waiter was super nice and I can't say enough about the food. However, it was almost 90° inside the restaurant. I'm assuming the air conditioning wasn't working properly, but they did have to AC split units running and it doesn't seem likely they were both broken. What was odd, was that none of the wait staff or management or anyone that worked at the restaurant said anything about the temperature. We didn't expect free food or anything else but we did expect someone to say, "hey it's really hot in here and we're really sorry it's not usually like this." Maybe in France they don't have air conditioning and everyone that eats in a restaurant in France is sweating all over themselves and is miserably hot the entire time. That's how it was at the Cure we will not be returning.

We’ve been loyal customers of Cure since 2024, and it’s always been one of our favorite spots. The beef tartare, in particular, is outstanding—compliments to the chef—and keeps us coming back time and again. Unfortunately, yesterday’s pickup experience was very disappointing. Since they offer Curbside, I decided to give it a try. My order was scheduled for 5:50, and I arrived early at 5:37. I called as instructed and was told the food would be ready in about 10 minutes. By 6:01—more than 20 minutes later—no one had come out with my order or reached out to me. I continued waiting, assuming the team might be busy. When I called again, I was told, “It’s been done,” in a tone that felt dismissive. The restaurant wasn’t busy, so it seemed my order had simply been overlooked. To make matters worse, when I asked if “curbside” meant I should come inside, the response was a curt, “Yes,” with no acknowledgment that curbside service is something you advertise. If that’s the case, it may be better to either ensure employees are properly trained on offering this service or remove the option altogether. We truly love Cure and the quality of your food, which is why this experience was such a letdown. I’m sharing this feedback because we know how much care usually goes into both your dishes and your service, and we hope this part of the experience can be improved moving forward.

My wife and I were in from out of town and we stopped in on our anniversary. We had no plans, and no reservations but they were able to seat us comfortably. I’m not suggesting to not make a reservation, it’s probably a good idea since the place is smaller, but we got in early. The space is unique, a mix of modern industrial and cabin charm…(whatever that means) The surrounding area is awesome. Parking was easy if you care about that kind of stuff. The cocktail menu was compact but had plenty of variety. The beer list was accessible, and a bit of something for most people’s tastes. The wine list was a bit more expansive so finding something to sip on won’t be an issue. We went mostly small plates, but started with the Salmon Rilettes. Flavor was great, nice fat content, smoke came through but didn’t over power the dish. Seasoned really well. We also had the charcuterie + cheese board. Cheese was approachable, nothing crazy. I’m not sure if the charcuterie is made in house, but both the coppa, and the prosciutto were flavorful, and sliced appropriately. Honestly everything was just executed well. Would hit again.

The aranchini was very good, the fried eggplant in the Meatball with eggplant was crispy, and the Sea Scallops entree was seasoned just right. It did have a very very dark lighting so I couldn’t see what the food looked like but it was a pleasant experience overall! (However, Tapas 177 < Redd)

It was an absolute pleasure dining at this cozy restaurant! The warm and inviting atmosphere made for a truly relaxing experience. The service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and professional. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. A perfect spot for a memorable meal!

One of the few restaurants in downtown Rochester that opens until late even on weeknights (10:45pm last kitchen order, dining room closes at midnight, bar closes at 2:00am), Tapas 177 is definitely a must for Spanish (not Mexican) tapas (small plates). Upon entering from street level is the main bar area. Walk down the stairway (stairs are steep so watch your step) to the spacious yet intimate dining area. There's also outdoor seating during warmer months. The Spanish style interior is a pleasant escape from the gray dullness of Rochester. The vibe is perfect for first dates, intimate & group dining and the dim lighting sets the perfect mood for a culinary delight. I reserved a table for 10 for an after recital get together. Only a 6 minute drive from Eastman School of Music. The tapas menu has something for everyone including non-Spanish dishes like Korean bulgogi, Indian naan shrimp pizza, etc., but I didn't expect literally everything to be good. The highlights were the empanadas, P.E.I. mussels & the oh so yummy arancini. The fried brussel sprouts were crisp but not oily & were accompanied by a delicious creamy sauce. Quality ingredients & well designed ensembles. The cocktail menu offers a diverse selection & the Spanish glass of red wine was extra dry & absolutely delectable. Kudos to the chef for preparing & presenting all of the plates with thoughtfulness & expertise. The entire staff was professional, friendly and went above & beyond to accommodate our party's late night feast. Street parking is limited. Highly recommended. Support your local small businesses & restaurants 👍

Always a pleasure visiting Tapas 177. The vegan menu options are a highlight. They have a variety of choices for every course, which is a delightful find as most restaurants have 1 or 2 total. The vegan dishes are just as thoughtful and delicious as the ones on the non-vegan menu. The menus are very approachable with options for everyone. The atmosphere is wonderful and cozy. I've been for date night, for group dinners, and even a Bachelorette party, and it was always the perfect restaurant to choose. The service has been as expected or above and beyond... a good balance for what was needed by our group. I always bring my out of town guests for a delicious meal in the heart of Rochester.

We were in Rochester from NYC for a conference and hosted a networking event in the downstairs party room at Tapas 177. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Chris was incredibly helpful during the planning process - flexible, responsive, and thoughtful about accommodating dietary needs (including gluten-free and vegetarian options). The space itself is beautiful and well-suited for groups. The downstairs room feels very FUN but professional, private and inviting, with the added bonus of an outdoor terrace. Our hosts, Andrea and Rachel, were fantastic—warm, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect throughout the evening. The food, service, and overall experience were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Beautiful establishment. Staff is fantastic. Rachel the bartender was so nice. I came for some drinks before a show around the corner and I am so happy with my decision to stop by instead of standing in a venue line.

Fantastic little spot! I had the "Rebel Rose" cocktail and Philippine egg rolls, both of which were delicious and perfectly made. Our server was very friendly and even gave us some recommendations on other dinner options in the city as we were in town on a business trip.

Overall really enjoyed the experience, it certainly draws in an older crowd, the chairs were uncomfortable to sit on. However the salad I had was incredible. It was a special and it had pear slices and walnuts. That was amazing. The special tater tots were great too!

We were in Rochester for the afternoon enjoying the local bike trails and wanted to grab something quick before we made our way back home. We found Edibles online, called and put in a to-go order for the caramelized brussel sprouts and bread pudding... Wow! Both were absolutely delicious! The brussel sprouts were perfectly cooked and seasoned perfectly. The bread pudding, OMG.... The best bread pudding I've ever had! (I forgot to snap a pic with all my excitement) Moist with a slight crunch on the edges, drizzled with caramel and served with ice cream it gives all the elements, sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy. Perfection. I'll definitely be going here for a full meal next time I'm in the area!

My sister and myself went to edibles after joing a speak easy event. Upon arrival to the edibles we notice they have tables outside. We sat at the tables waiting for a waitress or waiter to approach. As we sat not sure if it was the owner but he came up and told uo we couldn't sit there that the seating was for paying guest only. My sister and I was a bit confused cause instead of assuming we weren't paying guest he could of brought menues out and asked us if we were eating. As we told him we we were eating there he finally sent a waitress out however she still didn't have menues in her hand she ask if we were eating there again. We kindly told her for a second time we want to eat here. It was a bit weird being as though we were the only people of ethnic there. I didn't want to assume it was cause of our skin however the experience wasn't pleasant because they didn't treat us as guest they treated us as trespassers . The food was great we finally got past the questions and asking us to move and ate. I didn't order any food cause I was frustrated I ate the shrimp in a box my sister ordered and had a Moscow mule. The shrimp that I tasted was phenomenal. Food was so good. I would have love to have a better experience however the food is amazing .

2025 Brother Howard Award 🏆 Winner For their authentic, delicious Ukranian Borscht. Nice, upscale eatery. Highly recommended.

After trying all the new restaurants popping up, we decided to try this established spot. Not sure why we waited so long. We started with tomato bisque and the specialty crab bisque. Both excellent. We ordered the bolognese and the special (which was barbecue ribs with Gouda mac and cheese) to share. SO good! They need to add the ribs to the menu! The best we’ve had in Rochester. Had to take home leftovers to save room for their famous bread pudding. The staff was welcoming and attentive the entire visit. Our server Natalie was spot on with suggestions and took great care of us. From drinks to dessert- highly recommend!

Food was incredible I had the chicken French. I am a very very picky eater it surpassed my expectations as well as our server Rob. He was very respectful and personable made us feel welcomed in a way that set him apart. Boyfriend received cookie points for such a great date night. My favorite part aside from the amazing food and service is they boxed our left overs for us which I love and have always felt like the most awkward part of a meal is trying to shovel it into a box while sitting down.

Another amazing meal on the books at Edibles! Consistency is key, never a down moment with food quality, flavor profiles, friendly approachable service and a warm and inviting atmosphere. A must stop if you are new to Rochester or passing through ... the bar is one of the coziest in town! You are truly missing out if you've never been to this Rochester gem!

Lovely little airport. The weekly car parking was extremely busy. Once inside everything is very clean. The gates are easily accessible. The staff are friendly. The bathrooms are immaculate. Best thing is they have full doors with no gaps!

Came here to rent a car with my family and it was easy and cheap. This airport was really clean and looked easy to navigate. Btw screw dodge hornet 🐝 cars they will try to steer for u and take control. They r weird. We got assigned a dodge hornet and my mom didn’t like the car at all it had way to many auto pilot features. Weird 😂

Easy rental return and navigation to the airport. Not a long walk. Smaller airport. Nice staff. Easy check in and security moved right along. Very clean airport. Love using this airport whenever possible.

Small but efficient airport. Plenty to places to eat and clean restrooms.

Picking up arrival passengers is a complete mess and thoroughly obnoxious. It used to not be like this, the airport used to be very convenient and easy to pick up arrival passengers. It has already happened twice recently when I have driven up to the arrivals area to pick up my gf after coming home from her business trips, the airport staff are immediately, like within 30 seconds of me pulling up, in my face telling me 1) I need to move my vehicle right now, even as my gf is already right there and is about to place her luggage in the trunk, and 2) I need to keep driving around the grounds of the airport until my gf is out on the sidewalk to be picked up, even though she is actually already there on the sidewalk next to me ready to be picked up, and ready to place her luggage in the trunk. Not exaggerating at all. It's crazy. They are doing this even when there are barely any vehicles in the arrivals area. I was also told by another airport staff that I had 3 minutes to pick her up, even though she was already there ready to place her luggage in the trunk. I got really annoyed and told him to literally start timing me. We were of course done and out in less than 1 minute. I'm literally NOT curbside waiting for many minutes. I'm literally there to quickly pick up my gf who is ALREADY THERE on the spot and the staff are hounding me anyways. If anything, it prolongs the pickup because now you're debating with them while the arrivals passenger is already there ready to get picked up to go home. My gf was very unhappy with their attitude and gave them a dirty look. What an unwelcome way for a passenger to come home to Rochester. I can imagine a first time visitor getting put off by this unfriendliness and unhelpfulness upon arrival in Rochester. Literally I'm considering making use of the Buffalo Niagara International Airport instead next time I'm air traveling.

Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport is convenient and easy to navigate. It’s smaller than many airports, which makes security and boarding quick. The staff is friendly, and there are decent food and coffee options. Great for smooth, hassle-free travel.

If you pull up, and drop someone off, be prepared to be told your going to get towed if you don't move your car. If you picking someone up, and their plane has landed, be prepared to be threatened by security, and then by the police, this place is on lock down 24/7, and they don't care who you're waiting for, all they care about, is the money they getting for all those tickets they can write. Easily the worst airport in NYS. Always under construction, and it's never going to be finished.
