Our children made reservations for us to celebrate Mother's Day and also left credit card information to pay for the meal.We were greeted with the information that they couldn't find the credit card information but had our reservation. We were immediately seated ,introduced to our server and advised how much time we had at our table.What kind of welcome is that for an upscale dining venue. The staff was very attentive. The meal itself was fine. Salmon was well prepared and my pork chop was tasty but fatty ,not what I expected for the price. All entrees are served bare. Not even a nice garnish.At last they find the credit card information.Cheers! All in it was not the special dining experience that we expected. read more

Extremely disappointed with quality of food on our recent visit 12/30/24. Four people in our party, all had drinks, appetizers, dinner and desert. Drinks were ok, shared appetizers were hit or miss. Crab cake appetizer was NOT good, Wagu empanadas only fair, calamari was excellent. There was a Wagu special which came on a mashed potato and broccolini base. Potatoes were watery and broccolini not well roasted. Wagu steak was sub par. Three of party had special, not what was expected, flavor and quality below expectations unfortunately. I had an aged ribeye which was very good and a side of roasted butternut squash which was also very good. Service was good, nothing like we were used to from our last visits. This was what I considered to be an expensive meal, over 500.00 before tip. I expected better from past experience but most of family very disappointed with meal. I unfortunately do not recommend this once wonderful steak restaurant experience. read more

Wife treated me to a special dinner for my birthday! I'd even go 4.5 stars here but my phone won't let me! Valet parking is how you start your night which is great since this spot is right downtown! We had 5pm reservations which was perfect for 8pm theater tickets. Service was amazing. 2 servers for every table and it was like watching great choreography! We opted for Oysters and Escargot to start, Wedge Salad & a Cesar Salad to start. For the main entree - I opted for the bone-in dry aged rib steak and my wife went for the Wagyu Ribeye. Note: their Wagyu comes from Texas which apparently has a Wagyu association. Sides were Asparagus, Creamed Spinach and Potatoes (none for me though!). If I get the chance to return, I'd ask for the Asparagus to be cooked a little less but I prefer my veggies a little crisper. The Creamed Soinach was good but needed a little something - more seasoning, hot sauce - something. This is the half star bit. Drinks were good but definitely expensive! Well it's all expensive here. Maybe if we win the lotto we can come back in less than a year! The dessert cart is loaded with not just desserts but dessert drink options. I opted for just coffee but my wife got the Creme Brûlée. I had excused myself to the restroom and by the time I returned, her dish was empty so I guess it was good! read more

Awarding two stars: 1 star for waiter Ben. He is darling and would be the only reason I ever returned. 1 star for the bartenders in the hotel bar who attended to us prior to our dinner seating. They made some lovely custom cocktails. Went to a NYE seating and was served a mediocre wedding meal. It was so sad. Five courses and the first three were cold. Other than the oysters course, we picked at the crab salad and anchovy salad. We were looking forward to hot course and was disappointed that we were served a warm (not hot) fettuccini Alfredo with a bland sauce. No additional topping of parm cheese or even a fresh sprinkle of parsley or crack of black pepper. We could have added on shaved truffles but that was a $15 upcharge. Sorry, but the base meal should be solid without paid add-ons. We both chose the steak entree and were told we were only allowed to order med-rare or well. We both ordered med-rare and were served med-well steaks along with an insipid pile of mashed potatoes with three spears of asparagus laid on top. Dessert was another cold option of tiramisu. Since I'm allergic to coffee I did ask to swap this out for something else and even was open to a cordial as recommended by our server. She returned minutes later apologizing for the offer because she was not allowed to honor it. It was an extremely disappointing experience considering the price point and that there were MANY open tables. We stayed for the "ball" which was a continuation of the mediocre wedding experience. Limited passed apps and an "open" bar with plastic cups. I'm not going to touch on our hotel stay, but I would steer clear of this establishment. read more

The food is excellent. Th waitstaff is amazing. The Valet and his service was great. The room was perfect . I highly recommend this very lovely venue read more

We go here at least once per year. We have never been disappointed! The food, service, presentation and atmosphere are simply great!

Disappointed! The wine & service were good, but the rest of the meal was not good. Salad had lettuce that needed to be cut more. Salad was overdressed, over oiled & greasy. The salmon was not fresh , smelled & tasted extremely fishy . The tuna was not seared & was over cooked with thick cuts that were very dry. Looked nothing like the seared tuna pictures on the website. For the price , very disappointed? What chef would let this go out the kitchen door . Do yourself a favor & walk down to Redd. read more

Food is mediocre, expense is high. There are better options within walking distance. Food: I had a Caesar salad that could have come from any salad bar and a high priced steak that was overcooked and relatively tasteless. Fries and crème brûlée dessert were good. The wine was also good but the pour unnecessarily small IMHO. read more

If you guys skip tournedos, y'all tripping. This was a classy, well run, and freaking delicious restaurant. Steak was cooked perfectly. French onion soup was excellent, and the mushrooms were a great addition to the ribeye. I travel most of the country for work and it's tough to find a good local joint, this is one of them. read more

We had a great experience here for dinner. My husband ordered the crab cakes as an appetizer and he said they were outstanding. Our steaks were cooked just right. Our server was prompt and attentive. Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a nice steak dinner. read more

If you are looking for a great steak at an upscale restaurant, this is the place to go. For an appetizer I got the lump crab cake with lobster sauce...and I wanted more. I tried to take little bites to make it last. For the main dish, ordered the Wagyu ribeye steak with the bordelaise sauce and the steak was cooked to perfection. The steak basically melted in my mouth. Definitely did not need the sauce. The sides ordered were the brussel sprouts and the sweet potatoes and everything was tasty. To end the meal ordered creme brulee which was great. Definitely didn't need it but what's a meal without dessert right It is a pricey restaurant but the food was definitely worth it. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. read more

A group of us tried to enjoy some cocktails before dinner and we were served by the most rude bartender I have EVER experienced. After waiting 10 minutes to get served (the bar was not that busy) she was entirely unpleasant to say the least and delivered them with attitude. When dinner arrived, all of our steaks were room temp at best after waiting an hour after ordering our meals. Mine was overcooked and dry. The server was accommodating but never asked if I wanted a replacement. Clearly, this place was off their game, but there is no excuse for the bartender. She should be working in a cubicle with no human interaction. First time I have ever posted a negative review for a usually fine establishment that I frequent. Hope they can get it back together. read more

Not a good experience tonight for my father and son's birthday. Almost 3 hour dinner and the place was not even packed. Over an hour after we had our appetizers/salads, the main course arrived and all the steaks were cold. For this kind of money, expectations are certainly higher. Don't necessarily blame the waitress, but she was very inattentive through the night. Going to be a very long time, if ever, before we dine there again. read more

Of you lol across the ratings for Rochester Restaurants they are all at least 1 too many stars as is the case here. At best it's a 3.0 stars Place is a little dumpy old / kind of run down. Looks like they have not put much money into this place since it was opened other than a lip stick job. As far as the service - pretentious and slow at best - so pretentious you could hear a pin drop full of ego The food itself - ordered steak and it was completely burnt on the bottom side. Waitress was rude about it and almost seemed to blame us for the cooks shady move of hiding saying "well a portion was eaten couldn't have been so bad" Over priced Entitled Poor service Below to average food If it was priced correctly I'd give it 2 stars If the service was good I'd give it 2 stars But overall it's not worth the effort since they don't put any effort in. read more

The perfect special occasion spot. The ambiance of the inn is everything you'd want in a fancy steakhouse experience. Food is presented to you on carts, from a water cart to a dessert cart. The seafood platter was so delicious and the portions were incredibly generous (I've never seen such a huge portion of lump crab). I had the sea bass special, topped upon a bed of lobster risotto. Everything about this experience was perfect and I can't wait to go back. read more

Gio's Prime 26 - Sea bass special with lobster risotto - forgot to take a pic before diving in! - Seafood Near Me - Rochester, New York

If you want a fine dining experience with exceptional service you're in luck. This place has both. Not too bright and not too loud. The menu is will make everyone happy. I had the pork chops and they were excellent. Of course I had a couple bites of my wife's steak and it was fantastic. Restaurants prices today are crazy, so if you want a great value for the money The Inn On Broadway will check all the boxes. read more

Really wanted to love it here, but we were disappointed in the food. The atmosphere and ambiance of the place is wonderful- you can easily just pull up front and someone will come out and valet your car. There's also a friendly coat check person inside that will offer to take your coats. The place is charming and historical, there's a beautiful fireplace and wine cellar, and lighting is nice. Our server was also friendly. Unfortunately, you don't go to a fine dining establishment only to enjoy the ambiance. We decided on the mixed green and roasted beet salads to start. They were out of the Wagyu Tenderloin that my date wanted for his entree, so he went with a dry aged cut instead. I got the Wagyu Petit Ribeye. Sides we settled on the creamed spinach and maple butter glazed carrots. The salads were just ok- nothing special to remark. I would have preferred my beets a bit softer and the dressing didn't seem to go well with the salad. My Wagyu Ribeye was delicious- I have nothing bad to say about it. Tender, marbleized, cooked to perfection-really good. His steak was a bit over-cooked and was very small- there's no way it matched the ounces in the menu. The glazed carrots were near the worst carrots I've ever had, there was no glaze or maple or butter that we noticed- they just tasted like plain roasted carrots. It was funny because we asked if they were good first before ordering them. The spinach was ok- kinda bland and boring. I was actually pretty blown away by how not great it was, considering the bill was likely around $300 including my wine. I will say the wines were delicious and they make a decent pour, but again, we didn't come simply for the wine or ambiance. Our lava cake was also good. Pretty sure my date left hungry. Just really disappointing overall. read more

Tournedos is our special occasion restaurant. They've maintained their quality throughout the pandemic and the atmosphere promotes "safe-dining" with most seating apart from the next. The bone-in angus rib steak is still our go-to choice, probably the tastiest we have had and always cooked to perfection. read more

Had a great dinner at Tournedos! The decor is old school, but slightly updated. They have a lot of retro things, like a dessert cart, which is so convenient and cute. They have such a wide variety of steaks (they were delicious!) and a lot of other entrees that sounded excellent. They even have A5! The drinks and sides (Brussels were surprisingly amazing) were also very good. The service was fast and good. They even had vegan gelato! If there is a special occasion, I'll definitely go here again! read more

I had been warned that options in Rochester would be few and far in between but with all of the great reviews and ...limited options close to the hotel, I figured I would go where most have reviewed well. The bread they start you off with is house made and it's delicious but not enough to deter me from eating what I came for,Steak. I stared the clams casino. A little Sandy and just ok. My steak arrived and I am so glad I asked for it medium because the medium well (more on the well side) would have been very disappointing otherwise. Never mind with the house steaksause, another item that was just ok. A side order of the gratin potatoes- Bland! They were creamy and had good potential for flavor but seemed under seasoned or like they just needed a pinch of salt. I'll take that over over salty though. I was in town for work so quickly asked for my check as the second server came to Clear my table. That's when the main server came and offered me dessert with their dessert cart. Just seemed like they were in not in unison but it's not a large place. No biggie but for a high end streak restaurant, they should be. They do provide a small chocolate at the end of the meal which comes in a small box which I thought that was a nice touch. All in all, I was in town for work. I'm not sure I'd come running back when I return. read more

I enjoyed another meal at Tournedos on 10/13/2018. I am confident that this is the best restaurant in Rochester. Max's, Char, and Black and Blue just arent on the same level as Tournedos. Tournedos steaks, appetizers, deserts, and sides have all come out on top every time. We started with the clams casino. I think these were the best clams casino i have ever ordered. Flavor was great. Texture was great. No hint of "fishy-ness". Ive never had an "OK" appetizer here. Every appetizer has been phenomenal (clams, carpaccio/mozzarella, calamri, crab cakes). I would skip the salads and order an appetizer or two instead. The salads were good but I would personally have an appetizer instead. I ordered the grade 7 petite Waygu Strip Steak. My wife ordered the dry aged NY strip. While the dry aged steak is good (and probably better than anywhere else in Rochester), the Waygu was noticeably better (which is expected based on the price and notoriety). The flavor of the Waygu beef is exceptional. I am confident that the Waygu beef and the steak's preparation are the best in upstate NY. The inside was perfectly cooked and the outside was seared/cooked to perfection. The bourdelaise was much better this time around. Im not sure if they are using bone marrow but it tasted more complex than broth. For sides we had the macroni carbonara, yukon gold mashed potatoes with truffle butter, and the crimini/button mushrooms. The mushrooms were great as usual. The Mashed potatoes were good, but I didn't taste much truffle. (Disclaimer: yukon gold aren't my favorite so i might be off base on this one as my wife liked them a lot). The carbonara was the weakest of the sides. It was still enjoyable but I feel like the pasta does not hold enough of the sauce. You end up losing the flavor once you begin chewing the dense pasta. The sauce itself is good. I saved the carbonara for the next day, after the pasta had absorbed the sauce. It was actually better the next day as the flavor was more consistent. I ordered the bourbon mashed sweet potatoes previously and the bourbon flavor really comes through. They are great for someone who enjoys bourbon. Wine selection was excellent once again. Pleased with the wines that were recommended. We ended the meal with a creme brulee, espresso martini, and homemade coconut-chocolate chip - almond ice cream. My wife enjoyed the creme brulee and it was cooked perfectly. The ice cream is packed with coconut . I remembered it being great last year and have spent the summer trying other coconut ice creams...and none can compare to Tournedos. read more

My wife, daughter and I reserved a table in advance of our Friday night visit to celebrate a recent graduation. We arrived at our reserved time to find a charming older hotel with the restaurant in the lobby. Waze initially directed us to a nearby private parking lot but we quickly figured out where to go. Complimentary valet is provided with no self parking available. The restaurant had a pleasant decor with acoustic guitar music playing in the background. They have a lengthy wine list but seemingly no one knowledgeable of the selections. I was forced to google different wines on my phone to make a wise decision. Boo! I'd rather be enjoying the time with my family then on my phone. The wine debacle was the start of rather disappointing service the entire evening. At times we felt neglected by the wait staff. They also failed to recognize our special event even though it was noted in the reservation and my wife asking them about it. Ok whining off now. The food itself was awesome. Our dry aged steaks were very flavorful and expertly prepared. We all chose bone in rib eyes that were so big we took half home. The bread service was yummy with a fresh and tasty bread with a garlic side and creamy butter. We started with a calamari that came with a tasty spicy sauce and somewhat generic marinara. My wife and I split a baby spinach salad that tasted quite fresh with loads of crunchy bits. It was easily large enough for two to share. The bottom line for us was amazing food coupled with lack luster service. At these prices, there is a certain level of service expected and part of the overall experience. For similar prices, I know we could have had an awesome experience at several high end chains but took a chance going local and struck out. read more

I recently had another incredible dinner here. - The Crab cake was all crab, sooo good - King crab legs were perfection - Waygu ribeye was good as usual We brought our own bottle, $25 fee and they put it in a decanter for me and it was ready when we arrived at our table. Service as always was stellar. I booked a boutique room at the hotel as well and it was really nice to enjoy some dinner and drinks at the bar and then head upstairs. It felt like a mini vacation. read more

Anniversary dinner on Saturday night. Lovely dinner with attentive wait staff; food was very good. Steaks perfectly cooked. They did run out of the Ravines Riesling; the edit person gave me the remainder of the bottle on the house. As we left we were given a little box with 2 homemade truffles...nice touch! read more

A Whole Lot of Lies. Pre-Covid, I would take my Mother and family to their Mother's Day Brunch Buffet here. It was wonderful. I was contacted via email by the Inn at Broadway stating that the Mother's Day Brunch was back (their words). I immediately made a reservation and contacted them to find out the menu for the buffet because it was not posted. In the last, the entire buffet menu had been posted online. I was told twice when I called that it was not ready yet. Today, we went for the brunch buffet and learned as we were seated that it was just a regular brunch with a tiny menu of overpriced items. The bill was 162 dollars for four people. Needless to say that we won't return. I understand that there is another new owner but misrepresenting an experience is unacceptable. They need to bring back the Mother's Day Buffet or lower their prices. read more

Recently my wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday here. When we arrived we were about 2 minutes late, there was no one at the host stand when we arrived. About 5 minutes went by and we were finally greeted. We were told our table would be ready shortly and finally were seated at 8:20PM. Please note, there were about 5 other tables being served so I am not really sure what happened and why it took so long. We were greeted by a kind gentlemen who got us water and the specials list. Our waiter brought out champagne which was very nice and made us feel special. We ordered our food around 8:45PM and proceeded to chat. Around 9:40PM we were told our food would be out soon and that our waiter made a mistake. (did not put our order in) We finally got our food at 10:20PM and at that point we were very upset so we asked for it to go. I understand if it is a busy night and things go wrong but there were only 10 people in the entire restaurant. To make up for this the waiter brought us more champagne and a slice of cake. When we got home the $85 porterhouse was chewy as hell and the sauces were nowhere to be found. I genuinely used to love this place, it was a great atmosphere and it was worth the price. I called that night and left a message and no one has called back to discuss this. I have emailed twice and no response. I am disappointed in the way things were handled and would have appreciated a discount or something taken off the bill. At this point it has been 2 weeks with no response and I would have appreciated someone saying they heard my concern but I've gotten nothing. read more

I go to Tournedos about twice a year. They're my favorite restaurant in Rochester, and have never disappointed me or my friends! BUT, I've been planning my next visit and when I went online to peruse the menu, it was changed!!! I loved it when Tournedos added the seafood selections to the menu, but this time they have cut/slashed many of their menu options. I'm not happy. read more

Have been here several times and came in for a nice steak dinner, even though one of our party is fish and no meat. Which speaks to the terrific fish they have. Started with the beet salad. I love the salad and get it when I can. Delighted I did. Accompanying ponzu style dressing was a hit! The fish was the tuna. Cooked rare with accompanying items for the sushi grade. Delightful. The steaks were the fillet and the NY strip. The accompanying Brussels sprouts and potatoes (lyonnaise style) were also a hit. My steak was the NY. The usual, cooked medium rare. Tender and juicy, cooked perfectly with solid char providing the seal to allow for the juiciness. A great steak. The wine list is a must see and if they allow uu to walk in the wine room it is a treat. We had a terrific cab which was decently priced. A very nice experience again. I highly recommend this place! read more

Tournedos was a great place to celebrate a graduation dinner. We had cocktails as we waited for our table to be set up in an adjoining room where you could just go for drinks if you wanted to stop by for the warm ambiance. The staff at Tournedos were very friendly and checked up on us frequently. We had a party of 10 awaiting to celebrate my nephews milestone from the U of Rochester. The appetizers were delicious. We ordered two orders of the 1/2 Dozen Oysters on the 1/2 shell and the Bruschetta Duo (1) Tomato and Basil Pesto (2) Roasted Garlic and Portobello, that whet our pallet for our group. Although, I thought the oysters were quite small, though. We also ordered the Fried Calamari w/Marinara and Remoulade Sauce that made up for the small oyster size. The Calamari batter was crisp and the Calamari was so tender and paired well with the sauces. Some of us had drinks with our meal that went well with what we were having for our dinner. For our main course, many of us ordered the Wagyu Ribeye Steak (regular cut) that was cooked to order. I enjoyed the Wagyu Strip Steak (regular cut) that was prepared medium rare and met my expectations. We also had a selection of 3 steak sauces that accompanied the already well seasoned steaks. We had one seafood lover in our party that selected the Wild Raised Tasmanian Salmon, and another in our group that ordered the Lemon Herb Roasted Free Range Chicken, they enjoyed it. We had the Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Grilled Asparagus, Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes with Truffle Butter, and Pancetta Fried Potatoes, for our vegetables and starch. For dessert we ordered the Creme Brulle and Blueberry Crisp and paired it with some dessert drinks. The dessert presentation stand that demonstrated all of the desserts looked so delicious that I wanted one of everything. Our server also knew his menu well. Thus, we had a wonderful time enjoying celebrating my nephews milestone, with the ambiance and setting and dining experience at Tournedos that would make any graduates evening a memorable one. read more

Marvelous destination restaurant serving dry aged steaks in the Inn on Broadway boutique hotel, about 1/2 mile from downtown in the East-end Theatre District. Mesclun Salad with mixed greens and fruit was simply scrumptious (pic uploaded) While all other diners ordered steak and loved their dishes, I ordered the sea food special of Panko Crusted Sea Bass. Perfectly cooked (pic uploaded). Service was attentive for our group of 18. Tip: Downtown hotels run courtesy shuttles to and from the restaurant. With wine and tax and tip, the cost is at least $100 per person, and can be much more with appetizer and dessert. read more

In the past we have always felt the food, service, and ambience were excellent at this fine establishment. This was our first time dining under the new management and all three elements were subpar. This is no longer an upscale fine dining experience. Our wagyu steak that was cooked medium correctly was tough and chewy. It was hard to cut with a steak knife and some parts were not even edible. The mashed potatoes and broccoli were bland. The wine steward and extensive wine list were gone so you are left with 4 white and red wines to choose from. The waiter was unable to provide any insight on the wines. We had a white and a red and both were subpar. We were celebrating my wife's birthday. Even though I confirmed this was a special occasion via phone conversation and online with the restaurant, the staff had no idea we were celebrating. We can no longer recommend this restaurant and will not be dining there again. read more

The best steak in rochester hands down. The meat is high quality (as expected) and has a great rich taste the way they prepare it. The char and temperature on my medium rare ribeye was spot on. I think the pricing is fair and portions are generous! Their risotto was actually some of the best I've had in town too. read more

Great food as always. Best steak house in Rochester. My only issue was the Thanksgiving menu was a little pricey for what it was.

We have been to this restaurant many times to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. It has slowly changed into just another restaurant that's high priced and food is ok along with the service. Tonight we went to celebrate our birthdays. It started with the sommelier who was awkward and must not have liked our choice. She corked the bottle served the first splash and never came back to our table. We saw her pouring wine at other tables but not ours. Our waiter was nice, described the food like it read on the menu. Our wedge salad was delicious, my scallops were good, my husband had the Kansas City steak which is usually very good, it was ok. We ordered the steak fries but they are no longer "steak" fries but frozen fries you can find at a diner. Overall meal was too pricey for the service, atmosphere and food. The food no longer melts in your mouth. read more

My $77 rib eye had the quality of a Sizzler Steak house strip steak. One of our table mates waited over 20 min for his drink. His wife never got her wine with dinner. My wife's crab legs were cold salty and tough. The menu on the web site was not what was offered at restaurant, the wait staff was hardly seen and we were the 8:30 res and the place was almost empty. Heard there's new ownership, and not sure what has happened but this is not the Tournedos of times past, food and service were below par. read more

Excellent steaks and sides. Excellent service. Attractive restaurant with a low noise level.

My husband and I are celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary today. We ordered from the take out menu. The person (Mack) who took our order was so courteous, and efficient. My husband had the pork chops, seafood bisque, and Brussels sprouts. I had the homemade ravioli, mushroom risotto, Yukon mashed potatoes, and the creamed spinach. Everything was a 10! My Husband said this meal was made and cooked to perfection. A memorable meal. Also, it was packaged beautifully, and we were gifted with 2 chocolate truffles! read more
