Last evening we stopped for dinner and a beer. We had an excellent British beer, Speckled Hen. We shared the Chicken Korma and Fish and chips (with the peas). The chips were very crisp and the fish was fresh. The curry was mildly spiced. We meet a couple from England. The man in the couple did an internship at the Old Toad years ago. He stopped in when traveling in the area because The Old Toad is the kind of place that you remember. You should stop in soon.

We also got the wood fired Carnivore pizza and a flight of beer. The staff was friendly and attentive. Bonus points for having an old school shuffleboard table.

It is a charming old mill building with lots of wood and brick. We all had different beers- I had the Cosmic Krush IPA- very hazy! My friends ordered the Beef on Weck sandwich- which they raved about. It looked to be a generous size. Another friend and I split some tasty wings and a wood-fired Margherita pizza. Excellent! And we were stuffed. We got a 3 pack of Crowlers (32 oz. beer in a can) to go. They have a cool machine that makes the can in front of you. I got the infamous Space Kitty double IPA to bring to my friend's party. I highly recommend checking out Rohrbach's Beer Hall on Railroad Street!

We were visiting family in the area and they took us to Revelry on a quiet Wednesday evening. The…read morerestaurant had an upscale feel between the decor and the friendly staff. We got the oysters on the half shell, Texas twinkies & fried green tomatoes. We never had a Texas Twinkie and it was surprisingly delicious. I could've had that as my meal. All the favors of our entrees were excellent. It was a stellar selection by my relatives.

Last time I went I enjoyed some Asian inspired noodles, succulent duck in a creamy sauce, and the best cheesy dip and biscuits! We would highly recommend the place to anyone! The location is also a perk as there is ample parking and a winery (Living Roots) and several breweries nearby!

We came here twice on a 4 day visit, and would probably return if/when we come back to Rochester…read more It's a pretty standard diner, good breakfast, fast service, and non-stop coffee refills. There is someone just circling constantly with a pot. This is a cash only establishment, so be advised. There is an ATM. We did go at slightly off peak times, since we weren't working those days, but at those times, the restaurant seems to be a favorite of retired men, which is a good sign for a diner! They have a set menu and a specials board that I think changes daily. There's 2 full pages of breakfast, and at least 2 pages of lunch, plus the board. I'm sure you'll find something you like. I had the same thing both visits - a cheese omelet with hashbrowns and wheat toast. It was really cheesy, and I liked that it was a 2 egg omelet rather than 3, for me it was just the right size. We also split a piece of the rotating coffee cake, cinnamon walnut that day, and it was good - not too sweet, plenty of cinnamon. The guy had their 2-2-2 combo and was happy with that choice. For both of us, breakfast ran about $35, for 2 entrees and coffee, plus the cake.

After walking and driving past this spot for years (yes, years!), we finally stopped in and I'm…read moreglad we did. Inside, it has that classic old school bar vibe with wood accents, a few seats at the bar, and about eight tables. There's usually a TV on, but it's not overly loud. It feels like a neighborhood place with regulars, and I get the sense soccer fans love it here. (Or as it's called football) The outdoor seating, though, is where it's at when the weather's nice. Plenty of tables, perfect for people watching or just enjoying the view down Park Ave or Oxford Street. They offer beer on tap, cocktails, and even branded t-shirts and sweatshirts. Food can be ordered from a spot down the street I think it's Vasko's, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. You can pay per drink or run a tab. It's a small place, but a great option to walk to, grab a drink, hang outside, and just chill. Street parking is available, but if you're nearby, walking over is probably the easier option. I'll definitely be back.

Typically you get either good service or good food but rarely do you get both. Patron Saint was excellent in every detail that I notice from the decor the moment we walked in to the bathroom experience, this place checks all the boxes. Servers actually replenished our silverware and not only that, but they wiped the table in between courses as well. I never had to ask for more water and the hand soap in the bathroom smelled nice without being overwhelming. These are all the little details that might typically go unnoticed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. My steak was a true medium rare. The hericot verts were unique and the mushrooms a very elevated blend. Our server was attentive to ensure nothing I ate had gluten or dairy and they even brought me rice crackers during bread service which was a very nice touch, given I typically have to skip this altogether. I can't say enough good things as it is practically impossible to get this level of service anymore! Great job all around!

Parking was a bit tricky b/c of the first night of the Jazz Festival crowd but I learned after entering the restaurant that valet parking was available. Approaching the address from Court St side never revealed the option to have my car parked for me. I definitely advise the complimentary service. Once in the restaurant revealed a lively bar and lovely general seating. Acoustics were a bit loud but not a major issue. Our long table was ready and preset as was the menu. Our server Marissa delivered friendly, efficient and totally professional service throughout the evening and we were there for over two hours. I sampled meatball, calamari and assorted cheese tray appetizers. All were delivered warm and tasted delicious! My salmon was the best I've ever sampled with its sweet potato puree glaze. Reports back on the gnocchis and Chicken Milanese were equally impressive. I have no problem recommending this dining experience to others looking for a big city atmosphere without the big city attitude and prices. I'm anxious to visit Branca's Bushnell Basin location in the near future!
