I stopped here again yesterday while at the Rochester Airport, waiting on my airplane to go back to Jacksonville Florida. They didn't have my favorite Italian meatball soup. But they did have spicy chili, which was also amazing. I have decided that I'm probably never going to eat anything here other than soup and chili. It's all so good. The recipes are old family recipes that absolutely Rock. The staff here is super cool and really enjoy it. I love this place. read more

My pain of this place has not changed. It's still a great place especially a good food restaurant in an airport is kind of unheard of especially in a small airport as Rochester! Patrick always is involved in day-to-day activities and make sure everything is just right! I had the potato knish chicken soup and the Panini and it was excellent! We'll definitely come back. Hopefully I won't be stuck in the airport, but maybe in a short wait situation. read more

Pretty good place within the ROC airport just past security on your right. Menu options are pretty nice, I had the Cajun burger and it was good. Didn't taste too much Cajun seasoning but it was a nice burger albeit. Very large drink selection so if you're stuck or flight delayed, plenty of options. Service was eh - not expecting to be blown away but slight attention to the pair of guests that arrive every hour wouldn't hurt. Good for what it is, airport option outside of fast food. read more

My expectations for airport dining are pretty low, as my typical experience is high prices, curt service, and mediocre food. Right off the bat I was pleasantly impressed with the friendly service I received at Gusto. My standard cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato was nothing spectacular, but it was served fresh and hot on a unique ciabatta bun. There are standard food court style dining tables, but also some cute lounge spaces for sipping coffee "inside" the restaurant. At $16.69 for a burger (no sides, no condiments) and Arnold Palmer, it is no value, but might be one of the better limited options at ROC. read more

Jim G and I did not order any food here, so bear that in mind. As our flight out of Rochester was delayed multiple times, we felt it was high time for a drink (or a few). This was one of the only places there and it might have been the only one with drinks (not 100% sure, though). Anyhow, there is a wide range of cocktail selection to look at, as well as about a dozen beers (all in cans, no draft system). The "menu" consisted of stuff written on the chalkboard or multiple pieces of graph paper with handwritten names of spirits, beer, etc. safely stowed in plastic cover sheets. Felt like we were going back in time! We enjoyed our beer and the gentlemen helping us, who looked a bit gruff, was super kind and helpful. We got all that we needed. read more

Counterperson was not the most pleasant- as she stood sipping out of her Stanley while taking my order-- only has one person making food - the people next to me have been waiting over 20 minutes for their sandwich. I ordered a veggie Panini, a diet soda and a cookie and it was $18.! Sandwich was ok but very briny & sour from artichokes.

Writing a review for my wife who had me try a bite of both her panini and minestrone soup. The panini was miserable. My bite was overly spiced and tasted of moldy basil. It was soggy and the meat was flavorless and bitter. The soup was worse. If you take a look from my photo it doesn't look anything like a minestrone should. It was more of a grocery store brand tomato soup filled with noodles and tomatoes. Very bland soup. For $15 for the two, the wife begged me to write a review. read more

Who expects a "great" dining experience in an airport?! Especially a small airport like ROC??!!! Well, if you are looking for great food, great full bar selection, and great service, Gusto's is the place to come. I'd come here even if I wasn't at an airport (and I'm picky as hell when it comes to dining!) What airport place - or many place outside the airport have homemade sauces and salad dressings anymore?? Well, they do! I ordered cheese ravioli with the vegetarian red sauce (homemade sauce) and it was a good ravioli and the red sauce was fresh, light, not oiky at all, plus had tears of fresh Basil- who does that at am airport - right??!!!! The homemade Ceasar dressing was great too, and lettuce very fresh. Choices of wine, beer, and spirits- especially spirits is outstanding for any place, and ridiculously amazing for an airport. Sorry I keep harping on the "small airport" thing, but really, who could imagine??!!! OK - so they serve food in to-go boxed (bot my first choice, but, hey, it's an airport- and with the generous ravioli serving, it was easy and quick to take the rest with me. (That's how good it was folks- I wanted to take it with me!!!) So, I'm sorry I can't speak for any of the other food, but what I saw looked good. Service was great, like you want from an independently owner eatery. I'm glad I'm coming back here for biz, and will no longer feel "stuck" in ROC, as long as Gusto is open! read more

This is an over priced quick serve restaurant that I used to frequent every three weeks while traveling. I always got the turkey club but noticed I had an upset stomach after eating when I got home. Not sure if the turkey is old or overly processed but I stopped going there. Also for the price, the portions are very small. The bread, the meat etc are small and not filling. I'd really like to support what looks like a family run business but it's just over priced and I've gotten sick every time I've eaten there. I now go to the Taste of Rochester next door and get the grilled chicken sandwich which is $7.89 last I checked. Portion is bigger than any chix sandwich Gusto offers. read more

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.

She is a big curry person and said the sauce lacked flavor (which I tried and agreed with). The tofu was nice and crispy, dry though. There wasn't enough sauce in the dish. The mushrooms were the most flavorful.

We came here as a recommendation from our friend Preston. This was our first time trying this place…read moreand we were blown away. I can confidently say that this is our favorite restaurant in ROC. From the menu, to the plates and dishes, you can tell that everything is very well thought out. I loved the fonts used in the menu. I also like how it's a more personalized experience as there are only a few tables in the back. Additionally, service is amazing. Cary was great - personable, helpful and funny. The food was incredible. Our favorite dish was the hamachi, which was cooked to perfection. The meat was so tender and paired so well with the sauce. Truly such an incredible dish. The kan kan pork chop was very juicy and tender as well. It paired very well with the acidity from the pickled veggies and chimichurri sauce. The saffron risotto with lobster was also very delicious - creamy and with large pieces of lobster. Compliments to the chef! Everything was so delectable. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Wow, so delicious with the spices, the tangy cheese, the creamy egg, and the dough which was tender and flaky. Eggplant 'steak', also a banger. So many different flavors and textures presented in one delicious dish. And the lamb shank. Holy crap, one of the best meals I've had, period. The meat itself is meltingly tender and perfectly seasoned. All of the other stuff on the plate, the dill rice, the red stuff, crispy chickpeas, fava beans, some green sauce and parsely, it might sound like too much but it works so perfectly. Each bite containing a whole odyssey of textures and intense flavors. We got the signature dessert, a nest of phyllo with cardamom mousse, saffron syrup, fresh raspberries and more I'm forgetting. An absolute show stopper, and perfect with a turkish coffee. Even the turkish delight that came with the coffee was delicious. Service was helpful, prompt, and abundantly kind. This might be the best fine dining ROC has to offer.

Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, and their kindness really stood out throughout the evening. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, and you could tell a lot of thought and care went into each plate. I tasted the Khachapuri flat bread, Wild Mushrooms, Lamb Lollipops, Kurobuta Pork Chop and the Braised Lamb Shank. Also pictured, the Duck Risotto and the Tomahawk steak. Between the exceptional service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere, this was a truly memorable dining experience. I would absolutely recommend it for a special occasion or simply a great meal, and I'll definitely be back.

Our oldest devoured a blueberry Mickey Mouse pancake, which was bountiful with the blueberries. Our youngest enjoyed a cinnamon role as big as her face. I had the Rustic Sandwich, was absolutely delicious. My mom and husband had Erica's omelette, with my mom customizing hers with bacon. They both enjoyed homemade jam on their toast. The food was absolutely outstanding and we all left with full, happy bellies. (And we all ate our food before getting pictures--that's how good it was.) The servers were so friendly and made us feel right at home; we never felt rushed, and they kept our coffee mugs full. Ray's is always a good choice, and I'm sure we'll be back the next time we're in town.

The service here was pretty good as well. I ordered the build your own omelet with tomatoes, bacon, and cheese. It came with a side of Italian toast and home fries. Everything was fabulous! Super well season, hot, and tasty! I do have to say they were a bit expensive as adding anything into your omelet was an up-charge which a bit insane. I also found the $3.50 for a small glass of juice outrageous as well, so I do have to take off one star for the prices. We had a GF friend with us and she said she really enjoyed her meal which was great! I would be interested to come back in the future and try some of their french toast that my friend ordered, it looked fabulous!

We took out but the interior seems cozy enough to have the coffee shop feel but spacious enough to hold most folks. food was made promptly and staff were friendly. I ordered the mango chutney turkey wrap- it was a little odd but I appreciate that Root31 is going for healthy options despite being a fast food approach. Imagine cold mango jam with a mouthful of raw spinach. All in a cold wrap. it's a little jarring in texture and flavor contrast. I almost can't remember if there was indeed turkey because I was just so busy trying to get past the sweet jammy raw leaf. The other options my staff ordered that were warm were all good hits, so I think we would order again. I would order a warm entree next time to make a better review.

This morning both of us ordered egg dishes that took a long time to make their way to our table outside. We most likely won't be returning as there are certainly better options.

From the moment you step inside, you can feel the pride and passion the owner puts into this restaurant--it truly shows in every detail, from the inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. A special shout-out must go to our server, Morgan, who was fabulous! Morgan was attentive, friendly, and made our entire dining experience seamless and enjoyable. Great service is the cherry on top, and Morgan delivered. But let's talk about the food, because it is simply fabulous! Shrimp and Grits: This dish is a masterpiece. The grits were creamy and perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp were plump and flavorful. It's easily one of the best versions I've ever had. Whammy Chicken Sandwich: This is not your average sandwich! Juicy, tender chicken layered with delicious toppings--it lives up to the name and delivers a total flavor "whammy." It's bold, satisfying, and a must-try. Chicken and Crepes: The combination was delicious, but my husband noted one minor preference. We believe the syrup served was a bourbon syrup, which, while unique, he would have preferred a more traditional maple syrup. Still, a high-quality and satisfying dish! Mimosas Flight: The perfect way to start your brunch! The flight offers a fantastic variety of flavors, allowing you to sample and find a new favorite. They were all fresh, bubbly, and beautifully presented. Strawberry Mojito: And speaking of drinks, the strawberry mojito was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly balanced--refreshing, sweet, and minty, making it a perfect complement to the meal. Every dish we tried was executed with skill and high-quality ingredients. This is much more than just a crepe place; it's a destination for outstanding breakfast and lunch fare. If you're looking for incredible food, great drinks, and a place where the owner genuinely cares about your experience, look no further than Simply Crepes. Five stars all the way! We will absolutely be back soon!
