    korean bbq bowl
    Jessica D.

    The restaurant was completely empty when I went, and I still had to wait even though there were 3 employees. The food itself was ok, a little pricey but in line with everything else lately. I got the korean bbq bowl and the flavors were great, loved the kimchi. The rice was drowning in sauce, however, and it was a very soggy texture. Overall, it was another Chipotle style fast casual place that features healthy fresh customizable meals.

    Don't believe the sign - downloaded the app and never got the $5

    Overpriced Space was empty when I stopped - server were helpful but weren't sure what went in to the dish Sign outside advertised $5 off if you diwnload the app- I did - never got what $5 off

    Orig Mac & Cheese (NEW RECIPE - GLUTEN)

    Ordered a tri steakhouse bowl to go. It was very good. Service was good. I was a bit disappointed in the size of a side of Mac and cheese. They could have filled it as you pay $4 for it

    Love the healthy food, don't care for a lot of other annoyances. Forks and spoons aren't out for the taking so you have to ask for them. Music is LOUD and the ceilings are high, meaning I can barely hear the staff and have to shout to get my order heard. Lines are long around lunchtime (understandable) but every time I've been there in the last few months, people are CRAMMED together in line with no masks on. Could we maybe get some of those floor stickers? Also, only one employee was wearing a mask today and it was under her nose. I do understand that as I write this there is no mask requirement for restaurants in this county, but if you are preparing food (just like gloves), to me it inspires confidence about food safety. Something I've wondered about for years, and to be fair, not just at this location: Why are they so stingy with that half slice of sandwich bread at the checkout? The weird looks make me feel like I'm taking it out of the employee's personal stash when I ask for it. All of this being said, the salads are fresh if overpriced, the mac and cheese is really good, and the soups I've had are nothing to write home about. I think I need to stick to Doordash for this place as I do enjoy the food, but can't deal with the actual restaurant.

    UPDATE 1/23/20 Visited the Brighton location today late afternoon for an early dinner. We both loved our entrees! Entrees are delicious and prepared and plated with care. The only exclusion was that the sliced bread was rock hard and not edible. Other than that small mention our meals were thoroughly enjoyed! Can't wait to return for another fab meal! Bon appetite

    I'm not a fan of "fast food" places. But CoreLife is a wonderful alternative to the common grab and run burger and fries. They offer a wonderful selection of bowls with noodles, grains, greens, sides, add-ins etc. - actually the toughest part of dining here is understanding all the options. I've brought people here and they got so baffled... and if there iss a growing line of people behind you, it can be nerve wracking. So maybe study up before your first visit, and maybe select one of their suggested meals vs building your own. Great place.

    We dined here for lunch today and each chose something different. It was my daughter's first time, so she was a bit overwhelmed at the selection, but I assured her the staff is always very helpful and she can always customize things to her liking. She enjoyed a thai rice bowl, my son had a super plate with hummus and purple rice and roasted beets and my husband had a Korean pork barbecue. I chose the Mediterranean salad with cucumber/ basil dressing. Everything was delicious and the staff at this location was very friendly and accommodating.

    The ingredients are always dried out at this location and they are super stingy. Not a hearty salad for 12-15$

I've always loved the food at the classic, not only because the food is fantastic, but also because owner Drew is very personable and friendly. We decided to do the classics "Sippin' South" themed dinner. We had already done a beer pairing dinner at the classics several years ago, when they collaborated with one of our favorite local breweries, iron tug, to create an amazing multicourse experience. Firstly, the ambience was excellent and the atmosphere excited. we choose to sit at a table with two other couples we had never met before, but were glad to have interacted with as we shared in our common love of food in the great city of Rochester. We truly loved the pairing of each cocktail with the food. I think everybody loved the appetizer which featured a toasted bread with savory pimento cheese on top with a fresh salad with crunchy ham that functioned almost like a crouton! I personally loved the combination of onions and olives as well. The first cocktail was one of my favorites as it was a take on a whiskey sour with corn liquor with a tajin topping that was a stark savory contrast to the sweetness of the drink, but worked well. Next couple of cocktails included a take on a highball, a sweeter, coconut, flavored cocktail featuring a rum caste bourbon, and finally ending with a toasted bourbon drink that reminded me of an after dinner port. As far as the food, the chicken slider was delicious, and the chicken itself was well seasoned, my only nitpick was perhaps some sort of a aïoli spread to make it a little bit more moist, but this was made up by a delicious coleslaw with fresh vegetables! The lamb was excellent and served with perfectly cooked polenta. We finally ended with one of my favorite dishes, the caramel pecan bread pudding, which was a great end to this lovely dinner. Lastly, I thought the service was excellent and the dishes were well timed, I wish there were one or two more courses because the price was a bit steep in my opinion for the amount of food, although the drinks were plentiful and let's just say I was glad to have a designated driver!! All in all, we will return again to the classic kitchen :)

    The Red Fern was such a pleasant surprise for our mixed‑diet household. None of us are vegan,…read morethough we do have a vegetarian and one omnivore who's always happy to go along for the ride. We all found something to love here. We started with the pickled things, served in the cutest mismatched china. Everything was delicious, but the carrots were the standout -- so good we joked about drinking the pickling liquid. We also tried the Pink Lemonade and the Strawberry Alarm Clock juices, both incredibly fresh and vibrant. You could taste every ingredient. Since we couldn't decide on just one entrée, we split the Thai Kale Salad and the Buddha Bowl (with added mushrooms and avocado). The Thai Kale Salad was everything you want it to be -- bright, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. We were sure it would be the star of the meal. Then the Buddha Bowl arrived. The smoky tofu, creamy coconut rice, perfectly dressed kale, and all the veggies worked together beautifully. But the real showstopper was the added mushrooms -- so rich and full of depth that we nearly fought over them. We enjoyed everything out on their patio and left already planning our next visit. A wonderful meal all around.
