Our favorite place to eat in Rochester. Celebrating our anniversary there is always special. So glad to be able to return after Covid hiatus last year.

We went there for our first anniversary. The food was absolutely delicious. It was only outshined by the service. The staff were absolutely amazing and they ensured my wife and I had an amazing evening.

Service was friendly and the food was delicious. However the smell of this place was horrid. The minute you walk in it hits you and the bathrooms are 100 times worse. Everything was great here except for the smell and it filled the entire restaurant.

Very quaint ambiance with courteous staff and delicious food. The prime rib melted in your mouth. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The wait staff and basket were wonderful to talk to. It made for a most enjoyable birthday dinner.

Perfect menu, the service was exceptional. Food was delicious. Surprisingly affordable for a more upscale restaurant. Try the Chicken French.

A very nice place for dinner for special occasions. Valet parking very nice and needed since they have no on site parking. Service was really good. Server very nice and attentive. I get it that this is nicer place, but $62 for a pound of King Crab and $9 for a glass of domestic wine is extreme. Big overall bill for two.
