    Monkey bread
    Craig H.

    We had an amazing breakfast here! Don't let this slightly out-of-the-way location deter you. This was an awesome breakfast spot and the restaurant is pretty adorable. We had the sharable monkey bread (wish it had more cinnamon, but that's my personal preference). My wife had The Standard and the eggs were cooked perfectly (over medium) with bacon, breakfast potatoes, and sourdough. She's not really a breakfast potato person, but I kept reaching across the table to nab her perfectly twice fried hunks of deliciousness. I had the Chorizo & Cheese Tot Hash. I was a little surprised that it came with four (giant) tots, but once cut up it didn't matter. The chorizo was... odd. I'm from L.A. and whatever this chorizo was it wasn't made with the traditional seasonings I would expect from a chorizo. Nonetheless, it was absolutely delicious and I ate every bite. The sauce really put the whole thing over the edge. Can't wait to come back and try something different to explore the menu further on our next visit to Rochester.

    Best breakfast we've had in along time and we eat out a lot. The flavors and presentation were upscale, while prices were reasonable. It's located downtown Rochester, Second floor in the skyway of The Hilton Hotel. Not sure how easy parking would have been as we had a courtesy vehicle drop us off. We'd definitely revisit!

    My third visit to Benedict's in the last two years. I look forward to breakfast here when in town! Service is friendly and excellent, parking is super convenient in the garage, menu is modern and satisfying, and this time we really loved the Huevos Rancheros, and the monkey bread is a treat not to miss with your coffee!

    French Toast

    I always enjoy my breakfast at Benedict's. Great food and friendly staff. The French toast was painted with friendly little clouds of whipped cream.

    I came here on a Saturday morning to try it out after seeing them on the Rochester Restaurant Week list. They were very busy given it was the weekend! I was seated at the bar and got the monkey bread and California Benedict based on the menu. I thought it was good in terms of how quickly it came out and the peppers were definitely spicy and gave the Benedict some flavor for sure. The monkey bread was just a bit sweet for me but it was so fluffy and well made overall. Overall the lighting was great and I appreciated the Bob Ross bobblehead in front of me keeping me company. Definitely would want to come back here with a friend rather than alone but it hit the spot for a quick brunch I needed. :)

    This restaurant is owned by a true chef owner & just happens to be located in the new Hilton 2nd floor. I've been coming to this hotel for months and seriously regret not having tried Benedict's in person sooner. I've had the food through room service, which was fine but seeing it fresh and close in person is so much better. I'm Splurging at the end of cancer treatment and getting the butter pot lobster Benedict with avocado and old Bay hollandaise. My husband is getting the corned beef hash with braised cabbage, smoked green onion mustard and two eggs over easy. The chai latte is delicious and served at a breakfast bar, which is super fun. The ambience is a modern Mel's diner vibe with an African art shop & spa right outside the door. The food was better than expected. My husband ate every bite! We both loved the tater barrels. (So fun & whimsical like several other brunch items) Great choice for brunch with cocktails and friends!! Worth the trip!

    Bennie's and lattes were delicious! Service was speedy! Inside was very cute. Just an odd entrance if coming from the street, had to enter through the hotel lobby and go upstairs to the entrance.

    Brunch Burger (3/5)
    Kenny N.

    One of the reviews caught my eye - "how is this any different than Perkins?" Ambiance was great, was a bit busy (so plan ahead), and prices were a bit steep for some breakfast food. It was also a bit challenging to find location wise if you were not staying in the hotel itself. The statement holds true as there wasn't really anything that makes this place stand out. Agreed that the food was a-ok, but it was missing the "Wow" factor. Service was very slow, the chips that came with the meal were soggy, and they completely missed a side dish that my dad had ordered. Ordered - Brunch Burger (3/5). It was better than McDonalds but not at a level you would see at other places offering "premium" versions of this American classic Would I be back? Possibly, but to try perhaps their more traditional breakfast options.

    3.5 stars. Benedict's is in the hotel where I was staying so it was super convenient. The service was great -- my server was very sweet. I came in around 6:45am for a quick breakfast before heading to a work meeting. I do try to keep vegan whenever possible (except cheese sometimes), so finding breakfast options that were walkable was a challenge. I figured I could make it work at Benedict's. I ended up getting avocado toast (no egg, obviously) with a side of sweet potato home fries. It was about $16 for the plate. The toast was good, as were the potatoes, although the toast was a little puny (maybe because I didn't have the egg). I'm used to seeing avocado toast piled high with toppings. It was tasty though. I don't know if I would necessarily come back here as my top choice, as the avocado toast is really the only meal that is vegan friendly and there are other places where avocado toast is cheaper, but the convenience and service were great. I did like that sweet potatoes were an option, as I don't usually see that on a menu. The pancakes and things other people were ordering looked great, too.

    Mini Donuts with Nutella
    Jeremy G.

    The ambiance is a nice casual vibe with an artsy feel. The service was pretty good but wish they had a menu of their restaurant week specials. I wanted to love the donuts but it didn't taste like a donut. It is more like a fried ball that is a bit over cooked. The inside is nice. It's not a bad taste. The Nutella on the side is nice but I wish the Nutella was inside it. It's unique. If you like a crispy caramelized dough ball, this would fit the bill. There's some great options here. This just wasn't my favorite

    Went here to celebrate my anniversary with my wife. The food was delectable. Our favorite star of…read morethe show was the Duck Drummies, the sauce paired well with the meat. Just wanted a bit more sauce. The salmon was cooked well with a crispy skin underneath. Flavors played together nicely with the textures. We enjoyed the dessert as the textures (there's a theme here) had great interplay with the flavors in the dish. Only wish that pastry was hot. The ambience is nice and chill. It can feel a bit cramped but gives kinda a speakeasy vibe meets hipster. Note that finding parking is a bit challenging here. There are two booths on the window that would make excellent date spots. The reason for the rating is due to the service. I made a reservation for the spot and made reference to it being our anniversary. However, nothing was done to reference the reason for the dinner. I had never been there and didn't know about the booth availability. The place was busy but we didn't get much attention (menus were left on the table, didn't get small plates to eat the Drummies properly, got one refill of water toward the end, etc). I felt bad about this rating because I've read people enjoying the experience. However, this is what I experienced. The food is great. Service could be better.

Looks like they change the recipe throughout the seasons. Save room for dessert. We ordered the fresh baked cookies. Thats right, fresh baked cookies. Baked when you ordered them. Loved it! So happy with our visit to Bleu Duck. We will be back on our next trip to Rochester.

We stayed at the hotel and just wanted to eat/drink without having to go out in the cold. It was around 7 pm and we thought it would be busy for a Saturday, it was not. There were three of us. We were seated right away. At first, we had one server who took our drink orders and then he got busy with other tables so we were forgotten about for about 10 minutes before ordering. But, that was alright. Gigi, became our server and she was also bartending. She was the best! She was on it. After dinner, a large group came into the bar and she was pumping those drinks out so fast. My brother-in-law ordered a 3 course meal off the guest appreciation menu, which was a great deal for $39.00. My husband and I ordered the calamari for an appetizer. This was the only thing we were disappointed with as the aioli had no flavor nor did the calamari. We ordered sushi, the California Roll and Spider Roll, both very delicious. We enjoyed our experience. If ever in the area, we will definitely return!

    A friend highly recommended Forager Cafe, which is why I went there with high expectations. Hmmmm,…read morehow can I say this....I was disappointed. I ordered their black and tan beer. A tasty choice (check out the photo). Then I asked for a reuben sandwich with a side of fries. I really liked the two-tone rye bread. There was modest amount of corned beef. Notice I didn't say 'generous.' The kraut, Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing were a solid compliment. BUT the fries.... Check out the photo and look at the fries. These were double dunked in oil, greasy and sogged out, slightly charred, and meh tasting. I looked over at another patron's plate of food and saw her fries looked perfect. Golden, single dunk in oil, and crisp. Can I add a sad face emoji here? I called over the bartender and had him look at my fries, then look at the other patron's, and tell me the difference. He saw what I saw. I told him what was wrong with mine and asked why. He apologized and said he'd take 50% off my food bill. I saw him go back to the kitchen and have a conversation about my fries, which I appreciated. He didn't blow me off and let the kitchen know they dropped the ball. I've eaten at a lot of places from dives to fine dining, and I think the sign of good eatery is one that can excel at the basics.....like french fries.
