Had the salad with the artichokes, it used to be delicious, this time it was mostly spinach and a bad oily dressing. It has now turned into a doughnut counter when you walk in at 2 pm on a Sunday. Very disappointed! Used to be one of our favorite local spots. We probably won't be back. The vibe is off now and no energy in the open kitchen like prior visits.

I discovered these pasta gurus at a weekly farmers' market in Rochester, NY.

I tried a basil-pesto, and a garlic chive. Although a bit pricey at $7 for 9 ounces, these gourmet pastas truly warranted the price. The aroma of the pastas while cooking made my mouth water, and the texture, once cooked, was spot on. I especially love the inventive shapes the pastas come in. The inherent flavors are so well done, this pasta is best served with a basic butter or ghee sauce and a dash of wine.

The portions are incredibly huge, and the sandwiches are creative and always flavorful. Their fries are also really good, so this is definitely a "cheat day" type of place. Only gripe is that it's sort of a self service lunch counter type place so there isn't true table service and you're sort of left to your own devices once you order your food, but we have never had an issue with service at all so it seems to be working!

I think the concept works but execution falls short -…read more space: very linear, boxy, noisy - put some curves and absorption in. service: only two people beyond the kitchen are visible that do half of their work with their back turned to customers and have to figure out who needs what - they really did their best and seemed to care, were efficient - but a third person or some other change would be better. A lot of "do they know I'm standing here..."? food: felt it was too spiced up and rich - as if the underlying ingredients must not really have any flavor. For that reason alone, I'd make another choice next time I'm in town. portions/value: huge - great value - I think you could reduce portion sizes by 20% easy and put that savings into the above location: convenient and they make an effort to try and remove the plaza experience but it's still has little warmth.

Five long years later, I'm able to revisit one of my favourite restaurants and I was not…read moredisappointed. Having made reservations for 7:30pm, we arrived early and waited for our table to be ready. We made a note in our reservation for a booth on the fireplace side, and the woman (host) worked hard to make sure that happened. After sitting down, we placed in a couple appetizers. The bacon-wrapped scallops were delightful. The bacon, crispy and the scallops incredibly tender. Served with a side of drawn butter, but these were delicious on their own. As for the loaded potato puffs, we received a generous number of puffs, and each one was also very tasty. The sriracha ranch sour cream was the cherry on top. For mains, we opted in for the prime rib, and Delmonico "cowboy" cut. The prime rim was incredibly tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. Served with a phenomenal au jus, this is the best prime rib I've ever had. I can confidently say that about the Delmonico steak as well. This 20 oz. center-cut, bone-in was grilled to the perfect requested medium-rare. Seasoned perfectly, tender and juicy. Although I didn't care much for the gorgonzola cheese sauce, the steak was amazing. We also ordered a side of lobster tail. This was also incredibly tender and really brought the meals together. To end all things, we ordered their creme brulee served in a chocolate shell. This was a great dessert, although I would have preferred the custard to be firmer, and less chocolate sauce overall. I found the generous amount of chocolate sauce on the bottom of the plate, and on top of the creme brulee, on top of the chocolate shell they're served in to be over the top. Nevertheless, we enjoyed this dessert. I want to point out, all the staff members including the owner was very kind and welcoming. From the initial host to our server Lauren, to her boss who came around to ask us how everything was, the staff are very hospitable. Add in a warm and cozy dining room area with a fireplace, this is easily a 10/10 experience for us. We will make it a point to revisit more often and not years in between.

For anyone interested in the prime rib, I highly recommend getting the 20oz (look at the picture!!) because this was massive and could easily feed two people, especially considering it comes with a side. My only regret is ordering my own meal (the Sheridan) and not splitting the prime rib with my BF. Luckily our leftovers made a great second meal. We also tried the garlic bread which was great, and I have to give a shoutout to the free bread that came at the beginning of our meal, because the sweet butter on the side was to die for. Also, love that our servers came to ask if we wanted more bread (we declined because we knew we ordered a ton of food). Finally, please get the raspberry margarita. This was the best raspberry margarita I've ever had. I wish I ordered this to start instead of the strawberry margarita, so that I could've had TWO raspberry margaritas instead of one raspberry and one strawberry. Can't wait to come back!

Sat for some time and had to get up and ask if we could go to the buffet. No eggs, bacon or homefries( finally brought out eggs). Waffles were cold and hard. Chicken French was broken and overcooked. Prime rib well done, carver struggling to carve it. Dessert table messy and unorganized. Had to ask for coffee for entire table, then came served in a paper cup. Children were never offered drinks which included juice and soda. For the price paid for this brunch and we left additional money for server( I hope it was shared with the bussers who were doing a great job!) this was so not worth it. Suggestion...... if you are unfamiliar with buffets and how to prepare and cook for them stick to ala carte dining.

They also served free bread and butter with garlic knots included and those were tasty as well. I also tried a hot pepper pizza and it was pretty hot! Just beware. Maybe have some red sauce or bleu cheese for dipping! Service was fair, could have been better, could have been worse. They have a decent sized patio for outdoor dining but it was very loud and crowded on a nice day. Not the best for dining out there but seems better for drinks and listening to music. Overall it was an enjoyable meal.
