    This was my first visit to Core Life and it will not be my last. I have seen this but never stopped before. I stopped in an ordered a salad. Honestly, the menu was a bit overwhelming at first but if you're used to Naan-Tastic, Subway, or Rebel Pi like restaurants then it's the same. You start with your base and build from there. I absolutely love that all they offer are soups and salads. This will be my go to lunch stop when I'm in Henrietta moving forward. Was tasty and getting in and out was easy.

    Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts

    These were completely inedible!! Brussels sprouts are not supposed to look or taste like this. All I could taste were how burnt they were. Would've taken them back, but I was on lunch and did not have time. TERRIBLE, especially since they were $4!! BARELY even any Brussels!! Just burnt pieces at the top.....also, where was the bacon!?!?

    Thanks for the 2 bites of tuna. Just enough for a snack for the mouse that lives in my wall.

    If your looking for a healthier quick eat option- CoreLife eatery is your place! With plenty of healthy veggie options to choose from you won't be disappointed. You can also build your own salad option. I ordered the Spicy Thai Chicken & Rice noodle- delish! So much flavor! We also got a side of the roasted potatoes which were very good. Service was fast and staff were friendly. The atmosphere is very casual. Feel free to swing by & grab a bit after leaving the gym that's on the other side of the parking lot. Enjoy!

    I had the southwest chicken bowl with purple rice; was delicious! Was a good amount of food with fresh veggies and tender grilled chicken. The sauce was mixed in throughout, which was also very good! Would love to come back to try other bowls! Ordered takeout, so didn't get a chance to check out the interior.

    This place is healthy eating, they have a wide variety to choose from. I could not decide when viewing the menu but I went with the BBQ warm rice bowl as well as a Buffalo chicken taco. Both were made right in front of me, on the spot. I really enjoyed my selection and the service was quick and friendly. They had sections inside closed off due to COVID and had limited capacity. I would definitely recommend this place for a healthier lifestyle.

    When I first entered Core Life I had a major crush. When I left I had a crush no more, but we still parted as friends. You see, when I saw the menu with Green Bowls, Rice Bowls, Broth Bowls, and healthy Plates, I fell in love. There was so much variety of healthy food and the pictures looked so tempting! It looked like other bowl places I have been to, but on steroids! Alas, our dishes were not quite as delectable as the pictures depicted. I ordered the Spicy Ginger Steak & Rice Noodle Broth Bowl. The large bowl of beef broth was chock full of ingredients including grass fed steak, kale, almonds, broccoli, and carrots. Sounded good but I found the steak to be a bit chewy and the broth to be bland. 13 year old ordered the Ranch Flank Bowl. This busy bowl had tons of ingredients including steak, roasted vegetables, falafel, picked red onions, and beef bone broth. It was a good bowl. The falafel was excellent. But honestly, the bowl was not as good as some other "bowl" places we have been to such as "Bolay". Perhaps some of the other options or going custom would be better. It's too bad the food did not live up to expectations. The place is large and clean, with lots of seating configurations. The staff was super friendly and was more than happy to give suggestions. If I see another Core Life I would certainly give it another shot.

    I love that I can make my own "creation" at CoreLife. Each time I've gone the food has been fresh. Never have I encountered dingy, wilted greens (as I have in some other restaurants...). Staff is always cheerful and courteous. I also appreciate the online ordering..so convenient! My only "complaint" is the price. Why does it have to cost so much to eat healthy! Wishing I could duplicate at home lol.

    Love the concept, and eating fresh foods. Love the bone broth to me more salt would be bad, and the flavor was great. No complaints.

    I rarely give out five stars. Between the abysmal customer service that seems rampant these days…read moreand fast, slapped together food, this is a Hidden Gem (promise not to tell anyone, o.k ?) I was done with work, tooling around Henrietta, and thanks to my errant GPS, took a wrong turn down Clay Road. That's how I found this place. Since I came in on the Clay Road entrance, I had no idea it was actually in the Holiday Inn and Suites, on the corner of Jefferson and Clay Roads. Of course, this means that it has a huge private parking lot. I used the Clay Road entrance, leading directly into the restaurant. It's actually bigger than you would think. It's very sleek, modern and cosmopolitan. To the left as you enter, is a gleaming, polished, black marble bar and barstools, with large, flat- screen TVs flanking the bar. I seated myself at one of the tables between the bar and the long, rectangular high top that separates the dining room. On the other side of the rectangngular table, is a spacious, living-room area, with comfy chairs and sofas, and another large flat-screen. It's a great place to gather and have drinks, or just relax and scroll through your email. There were over a dozen people enjoying their drinks and laughing and a couple of teenagers chilling on the sofas, intent on their cells. An impeccably groomed server, Preston, immediately came over and greeted me and gave me a menu. He served me both times that I was there for dinner. He asked about my mother, which was kind. I was impressed that he even remembered, considering the amount of people he serves. He even remembered what I had to drink (Prosecco) the first time. I usually avoid eating in hotels, even while on a trip in bad weather. Between his excellent service, and the delicous food here, I was warming to eating in a hotel, even if I live in Rochester. The first time, I asked him what he suggested; he said their burgers were excellent. I ordered a build-your-own Burger, with cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onion. The burgers all come with a side of fries or Pub Chips. Preston said that the Pub Chips are made in-house daily. I went with those. I changed my mind and canceled the lettuce, fearing iceberg. Being rather soft-spoken, he probably didn't hear that, and my burger arrived with lettuce. Fortunately, it was not the iceberg that I loathe; it was a nice wonderfully green and crisp leaf lettuce. I took one look at the Burger and thought "Oh Mama, there's no way I'm going to finish this sucker," as it was huge...like the Grand Canyon of burgers. I'm not a picky eater, just not a big eater. But I had a very light, early lunch, and was pretty sure I could eat most of it. I ate it all. I'm not generally a fan of fried foods, but the pub chips were beyond delicious. It was all I could do to restrain myself from eating them all; I saved some for my mom and it was quite a sacrifice. She devoured them. Last week I bounced in and decided to try their chicken wings. Man, they really give Richmond's a run for their money: large, meaty drums perfectly slathered in delicious buffalo sauce. They were served with a handful of carrot and celery sticks and the de rigueur blue cheese. Nice presentation, too. I highly recommend trying this Hidden Gem. This place not only knocked my socks off, it made them roll up and down.

    Vern's is definitely one of those spots that's worth a visit! They don't take reservations, and…read morewhen we arrived around 7:30pm on a Sunday evening, it was packed. We were quoted about a 40-minute wait for a table, but told bar seating might open up sooner (around 30 minutes). They took my number and we stepped outside to take a walk around the block while we waited. We ended up getting a text about the bar seat availability in about 15 minutes. Once we got seated at the bar, things turned around quickly. The space has a really cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting, warm atmosphere and overall it feels thoughtfully put together. We ordered hot toddies to drink, which were perfect for the weather, and for food we got the Japanese sweet potatoes and the cavolo nero pesto. Both dishes were incredibly delicious - flavorful and well-balanced. Just be prepared for a wait (and maybe stay nearby instead of wandering off), but once you're in, it's a great experience!

    We tried out Vern's for the first time on a Thursday evening! We made it there by about 5:00 PM and…read moreit was easy enough to get a table for 2 with only indoor seating available. It's a small space inside but it's designed well enough to manage a flow of traffic for customers and staff. We sat in the back greenhouse area. I think the least enjoyable part of our experience was how loud it was in the restaurant. Definitely not a good spot if you're trying to catch up with someone and your voice doesn't carry. I couldn't actually hear the specials the server was telling us. I want to try out Vern's again, so I may wait until there's an outdoor table or ask to sit in the second level to see if that's quieter. We tried one of their spring menu appetizer items, the Japanese sweet potatoes with kimchi ranch and dill. One bite and I was addicted, these were so so good. We then moved on to the classics for entrees -- bee sting pizza and the ragu-- and we were amazed at how good everything was! The only note we had was about the pizza, it was very soggy in the middle but still edible if you rolled it over in itself. We also had a few cocktails, and while they were somewhat small, you could tell they weren't watered down in any way. Two drinks was more than enough for me. Overall it was a great experience and we want to try it again. If you're someone who struggles to enjoy a meal out where you can't hear much, maybe wait for outdoor tables.

    First visit! We had the smash burger and unlimited fries…read more Delicious. We also had the flatbread pizza appetizer. Really tasty with chicken. We would get these again next time. Large beer menu with great choices but we were there at lunch and no time to have a beer. We are looking forward to visiting here again. Our waiter was Ricky and he was training Ian. Both were very nice and helpful. They answered all our questions as this was our first visit. I really want to get the dessert they are known for! Thanks Ricky and Ian! The restaurant is big with lots of seating so there is plenty of space for a crowd. I really liked the artwork on the walls and I am wondering if they sell t-shirts with their artwork of their beers.

They have never given us a hard time about ordering separately and have brought out more of the fruit that he preferred when we asked if they could. I will admit they are understaffed so they take a longer to get refills and such. But they have never let us down with our kiddo and their food is good. Their pazookies are great (the chocolate one substituting vanilla ice cream is sooo good!).

While planning our dinner party months in advance, the communication from Janine was excellent. She helped us develop a 4-course menu that was sure to have something for everyone, including vegan and allergy friendly options. Amy was our server for the evening, and she ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening. The chairs in the Meyer's Den are wide and comfortable, the decor is dark and classy, and being in the basement away from the dining room made it very quiet and easy to converse with family. The room is rather spacious for 12 guests, but could also accommodate a few more people without feeling cramped. Out of the appetizers we selected, the Charred Octopus was very popular and everyone enjoyed it...even those that had never previously eaten octopus. The baby cauliflower dish was also a beautiful presentation, and quite large and enjoyable. The salads, particularly the Charred Hurricane salad, were nice light courses before the entree was served. As for the entrees, the filet mignon was a little on the dry side, but we really enjoyed the light and crispy spinach fritters that accompanied the beef. The salmon was a generous portion of medium rare fish, and there was lot going on with that dish - spicy cauliflower and za'atar potatoes that had some mixed reviews. Folks who ordered the duck breast seemed to enjoy the complex preparation, which had asparagus, green beans, and two pureed sauces - cauliflower ginger and cherry-rhubarb. The doughnut bread pudding with apple pieces and vanilla ice cream was a delicious, decadent way to end the meal. We left rather stuffed, and delighted with the overall experience that allowed our family to celebrate together.

For appetizers, we got the roasted beets and the bone marrow. Both were good. I got the duck breast for entree and my friends got the carrot cavatelli and lobster bucatini. We all enjoyed our dishes. The duck was succulent and roasted just enough. The Brussel sprouts that came on the side were a disappointment though. For dessert, I ordered ricotta pine nut tart with lemon sorbet. The tart was very subtle in flavor but good. My friends ordered the bread pudding which was great as well. Overall, very satisfied with the food and service. Can be back!

My martini was perfectly mixed and ice cold! The food was phenomenal as well. I enjoyed the lobster risotto appetizer, chicken thigh with polenta and a delicious and complex mole sauce, and butterscotch pot de crème for dessert. The bar was bustling when I arrived, but quieted towards the end of the evening. The restaurant has high ceilings and an upscale but comfortable feel. I'd absolutely return to Redd if I'm ever in Rochester again!

    I finally had the opportunity to eat out at REDD for a friend's birthday a couple of weeks ago…read moreafter years of trying to come. I really have to say - for the most part, the wait was worth it. First and foremost, I have to call out their drink menu - while ultimately we came to enjoy a nice dinner, their cocktails were by far the biggest star of the show, with our entrees trailing very closely behind. If you like to partake in alcoholic beverages, I can say without a doubt these are the best cocktails I've had in Rochester, let alone all of Western NY, and this is even put up against drinks from the likes of Cure, Bitter Honey, and Avvino. I don't know if the bartender is just using higher quality spirits as a result of REDD being an upscale restaurant, but the "Burn after Reading", "Wise Guy", and Manhattan are some of the smoothest, most delicious, multi-noted drinks I've had in my entire life. If I don't come back for the food, I will absolutely be back for the drinks, because my goodness, abso-freaking-lutely phenomenal. My friends and I still talk about them now even weeks later. For our entrees we had the NY strip steak, grilled chicken, and a poached salmon, and every single piece of protein was cooked just perfectly. The steak was a beautiful warm medium rare, the chicken was glistening with succulent juiciness, and the poached salmon which I had for my main is one of the softest pieces of fish I've had in my life. It beautifully flaked away on a bed of potato puree and extremely well herbed and seasoned home fry-like potatoes that were ever-so-slightly just-undercooked intentionally to act as a perfect foil to the gorgeously soft puree and salmon itself. If I were to knock anything at all, the winter squash, turnip, and green vegetable medley that came with the chicken and steak was unfortunately far too undercooked for my liking, almost to the point of being completely raw, and while I appreciate letting vegetables sing and respect the beauty of raw, fresh vegetables, I was hoping for a little bit more of chef-y flair, seasoning, or even cooking of them. Besides that, the wait staff was simply top tier and were extremely inviting throughout the entire evening. We felt taken care of and checked up on often and they were the utmost professional. The only thing that was a true negative was the desserts -- if there's one thing I would NEVER order at REDD again, unfortunately our dessert missed the mark entirely. My best guess is due to lack of a pastry chef, but our chocolate tart was muddy and flavorless, not even tasting of chocolate, and the two homemade ice creams we tried - chocolate, and oatmeal followed in suit. We ultimately wrapped up at REDD but then ran down to Char Steak & Grill at the Strathallan for what ended up being a phenomenal dessert experience there. But overall, I have to say - I will definitely be back! The entrees were awesome, the cocktails were life-changing, and the ambience and wait staff were without fault. Thank you for a wonderful experience, REDD, and see you again soon!
