A keypad at the top of the stairs let's you into the bar. There is a bathroom upstairs which is nice. Inside, the bar has great decor. Lots of red lights, neon signs, lanterns, and other cool decor. The seating is either bar seating or chairs & couches surrounding round tables. A musician playing the keyboard graced us with some sweet jams. Since these are craft cocktails, it takes a while for the bartenders to make the cocktails, but it's worthwhile. They have fun glassware for certain drinks - I was shocked when my drink was served aflame! It was called The Rabbit and was very tasty. A bit pricy per drink but a great place to stop for a few drinks with friends! Parking is ample in the area - street parking right in front and a parking ramp (free nights and weekends!) right across the street.

We had the tasting menu this week on a visit to Rochester. We enjoy doing tasting menus when we…read morefirst come to a new restaurant to try many of the dishes. We found the five course tasting menu to be interesting, but neither my wife nor I found the food to be delicious or memorable. Quality ingredients were top notch and the preparation and plating excellent, but we just didn't care for the flavors or combinations that came out. We expect when we get a tasting menu to have a few dishes that might miss the mark for us -- that's sort of the point. You're exploring the chef's ideas and dishes. It's strange when none of the dishes really hit with our palates and we travel all over the world in search of amazing food and dining experiences. To make matters somewhat worse, we did the wine pairing and oftentimes with the courses we found the wine did not pair incredibly well with the plates. Further, when the wine was served we never saw a bottle once and were never told about the winery, the vintage, etc. -- only the type of wine it was and what flavors we could expect. We've never had that before with a wine pairing. We encourage the chef to continue to explore his palate, creativity, and imagination and we look forward to the possibility of coming back again some time in the future to see how this chef and menu may have evolved.

Pricey but very good. Definitely more in the realm of American dining cuisine which is not what I…read moreusually go for for dinner before a weekend. Highly recommend the confit potatoes which are cooked in marrow fat with this really nice cheese cream sauce. Overall I think the highlight of most of their dishes including the Manti Dumplings and Bone Marrow risotto are their sauces which are well rendered, have a nice citrus tang to them (could be strong for some) or bone marrow rendered fat flavor. Service was great at the bar with our server giving us recommendations on how best to have our dishes. Food came out decently quick with the app first then mains. Was very pricey though worth it if you're looking for a nice treat with friends, partners, or family! :) Ambiance was chill and nice overall. They have nice decor and vibes and I'm glad they recovered after the recent accident a year ago!

Last night I ordered the lemongrass chicken (SO juicy and flavorful), the farang spritz (refreshing!) and the cauliflower yum pops.

The whole atmosphere was bright, modern, and welcoming, too, with high ceilings and pleasant spaciousness. We were in a booth with people on either side but didn't feel crowded. My husband had a local beer from SXSE while I had a cranberry hibiscus margarita. The cheese curds appetizer was AWESOME. Great serving size, fresh and squeaky cheese, and good coating. The ranch served alongside tasted fresh like it was house-made, too. My husband loved his meal: custom burger with fries. The bun was even great quality. I had the grilled chicken with toasted quinoa salad. The portion size was massive, and it was a very good mix of flavors and textures. I've never had quinoa toasted in this way before. The baguette piece along with it was great, too. We were too full to order dessert, which was a shame, as they had bread pudding on the menu, one of my favorites. We'll need to come back!

We have explored a number different items on the menu and have a ways to go before we exhaust the options available. They are still navigating wait times delays but they are open about the delays and apologetic for them.

No apology - he just went along with talking to his gaggle of guy pals. About 30 kids in the club. The place seemed pretty clean, and a well stocked bar. Had a somewhat large dance floor with some projections on a screen to give it a hip look. However, not one person was dancing. Maybe because the speaker was closer to that area, and no one wanted to break their eardrum. Super glad there was no cover. Take my review with a grain of salt. We didn't order a drink. So, no insight on prices or how the bartenders mix cocktails.Heck - we didn't stay longer than five minutes. Because of that, I don't think it'd be fair to give it a review of less than three stars. Tip: bring earplugs.

The interior was lovely and the service was excellent and attentive. Our meal did not disappoint, either. We had the croquets with arroz con pollo, avocado crema, but no cilantro (my wife is allergic to it). Very tasty, as were our cocktails. My wife had the risotto with braised beef cheek (so tender!), roasted oyster mushrooms, veal demi-glace, and parmesan. Unctuous and umami. I had the Bucatini -- blue crab with anchovy butter and red pepper pesto. I'm a sucker for anchovies and the anchovy butter, once stirred into the pasta, was absolutely delicious and really complimented the crab. A truly savory and decadent treat. We were really pleased with our experience at Our Paladar and we look forward to coming back when we visit Rochester again in the not too distant future.
