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.

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and it exceeded every expectation. From the…read moremoment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. 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.

Some of the best food in upstate hands down, while still being a very reasonable price point for the level of quality you get here. The staff are always thoughtful and polite, the food has literally never disappointed, and it's always clean and tidy. Please consider stopping by, I promise you won't regret it. Oh and the Pot de crème on their dessert menu is my only must try suggestion. I haven't tried any of their other dishes more than once or twice, but the pot de crème has been my go to every single time. I don't have a photo because I forget to take one every time because I'm so excited for it.

I've been so excited to review Cure!…read more This is one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in town and dare I say it - my favorite of the good luck family chain of restaurants I love the ambiance - unlike good look it is a bit more cozy. I love sitting at the bar, the bartenders are very fun to talk to! Let's talk drinks - so many options and the menu is so unique! they have a shaken, still, and bubbly option, something for everyone. I think some of them can be non alcoholic if you ask :) the drinks are always impressive, I've never been disappointed the food menu is perfect for sharing. It's French inspired cuisine so it is definitely meat heavy. My favorite dishes are below: the bahn mi is sooo good, the sauce is creamy and the bread from Flour city is perfectly crunchy The beef tartare is such a great portion and under 20 bucks!! Most places charge a lot more for it. If raw meat is not your thing then I'd avoid it but I'd give it a chance if you're adventurous. And finally the amazing steak - medium rare, juicy, perfectly salted. The fries are super addicting. Not dry at all. They have a good house sauce to dip it in (akin to good luck). Overall this is a AMAZING place with such an inspired drink and food menu. I'm already thinking about my next venture to Cure :)

What a great find! I was in Rochester for an art exhibition at VSW for exactly one night. My friend…read moreand I drove in from Philly, made it just in time for the exhibition and then afterwards wanted a cozy place to drink cocktails and eat delicious food. After perusing Yelp reviews, I found a cozy little place called Grace and Disgraced. It was lovely inside but learned that reservations were required. I asked the owner for a recommendation and he pointed us here. This is exactly what we were looking for! Delicious, rustic French food, beautiful cocktails and a table for two in a charming, glowy dining room. I am serious when I say the charm here is forefront. But not at all second to that charm is the food! I had the merguez sausage over root vegetable and lentils and my friend had the beef bourguignon. Both of these were stand out dishes! The melted brie with chilled potatoes to start complimented these dishes beautifully! The cocktails were so well-made and I can't tell you thankfull I am that we were directed here. It was the perfect place for us to be.

My friend and I ordered mocktails which we both enjoyed. We then ordered gochu belly buns and the braised beef French onion soup. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy and make the soup gluten free! It was delicious. For our entrees, I ordered the sweet deal salad and my friend ordered the green curry stir fry. Mine wasn't anything crazy, tasted as I expected but it was still good. My friend, on the other hand, did not love her dish. 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.

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!
