Hopefully will see that on the menu soon, real soon. Our dinners were braised beef with noodles as a special, delicious. As well as the Shark. Side Ceaser salads for all. All in all this place is on spot everytime with great service and great food.

You can easily walk in, not wait awhile, and get a seat quickly. The restaurant interior was modern industrial with Scandinavian/minimalist influences(?), which I loved because it felt a cozy and welcoming. Any who, back to the service and food. I really enjoyed my entrée, I choose Corned Beef Hash & Eggs and the asiago bread, the dish was a bit heavy (not in a bad way), and I ended up requesting a diet coke but overall, the dish was very good, and the corned beef is not the type from a coney island restaurant, it was shredded and flavorful. The service was outstanding, and our waitress was beyond pleasant and attentive. Would I recommend this place to others? Yes. Would I come back again? Yes, there were other items on the menu I'd like to enjoy.

Unfortunately, service was not very good at the bar - incredibly slow. For drinks, I tried their espresso martini, which was way too watered down. The food, however, made up for everything else. They had a really good menu with interesting options, so we were pretty torn what to get but I ended up ordering a cup of their chicken curry soup and the pork chop. The pork chop itself was incredible, and the beets were a unique spin. My friend got the short rib and said it was amazing. We both really enjoyed the soup as well. Ambiance was lively, but we were disappointed it wasn't really decorated for the holidays - just really plain inside. Since the location is right on main street, parking is limited. All this said, I would return just for the food.

If you're looking for a traditional dimly lit chop house that might make you feel you're in a national park somewhere, not easily found, then this is the place for you. Chop House Platter Nothing to write home about here. Calamari uninspiring and the shrimp isn't fresh French onion soup crock Roasted onion stock, Sherry, wine, house baked croutons, melted cheese. Portion is more than a cup - well prepared and salty. Sharing this might be better for portion control. Lobster & Shrimp Mac and Cheese Fantastic flavors here make it devilishly good. You might have to fight for the lobster bits. Keeps very well. Bourbon infused dry aged 14oz Ribeye Okay this is where the volume goes up - listen here... I first thought the plate had way too much oil drenching the steak but then I realized that's part of the local bourbon-infused magic that makes this steak "the best in the house" per our server. And when that first bite hit my palate, several thoughts crossed my mind: 1) mouth watering savoriness 2) medium rare supple texture 3) aged barrel vanilla and chocolate 4) subtle smoke Hands down, one of the best steaks I have ever consumed. The uniqueness of the wood flavors and aromas combined with the natural rib eye fattiness forces you to take a step back and think about what's in your mouth. I would make a special trip to come back for just this steak. Some of the other menu items are not anywhere as impressive. Although I didn't taste, the consensus at my table was that the summer berry salad was over dressed and too tart. Wine list average, at best. The bourbon steak is so good that by itself, it elevates this review about 1.5 stars. That's all....

We last came in…read moreSeptember on my birthday and I did not have the best experience so I said hey maybe it was a fluke. We came for our anniversary on a Tuesday night. We made reservations and arrived and got seated. At first, everything was great. The server came and got our drinks and bread right away and asked what we wanted for the app. We put two apps in and when he came back with the drinks we put the pasta in. We asked for more bread and he said he will bring it. This is where it went wrong. About 10 minutes later he passed us to go to his table behind us and said oh yeah the bread Im getting that and your refilled drinks. After that we did not see this guy for almost the remainder of the service. We ate the apps and then still no drinks. We waited for him to come back in this cornered area and did not see him. The manager brought the pasta and they forgot the chicken for my husband. He got us refills and my husband told Him and he said "well I can put in an order and then you can just add it to the pasta". He brought the chicken out 14 minutes later and his pasta was cold. He had waited to eat it. Still no server or bread. Finally the waitress that was in that area asked us if we needed anything. I told her we were waiting for the read for a long time and that we havent seen the waiter since he took our order. He never came when the food came. Just as we said that he walked over and said oh Im getting the bread. They said the bread was taking a while. As he said that, the manager brought the table next to us some bread. Then the waitress brought some for her new table. We waited again. She ended up giving us her bread and then got new bred. He finally came with the bill and said oh did you want dessert? We obviously didn't as we didn't even see him the whole time. He took forever to bring us the change. This is the second time that the service has not been great. The food is great and tastes great. The restaurant is nice and clean and I like the atmosphere. I just feel like paying $72 for this service wasn't great.

The salmon had a fantastic honey-ish coating that was perfectly crunchy - I loved it. The veggies that came with were also just right. I've recommended this to several other people who I'm sure would be happy with their visit too.

The menu is vast and features a lot of traditional Irish inspired options and they are famous for their signature boxties. I recently had their Burrata Caprese salad and it was delicious! The tomatoes were fresh and the balsamic glaze was well balanced with the baby greens dressed in a light vinaigrette . For my drink I had the Dragonberry Mojito and it was refreshing, but could've been a little stronger. The staff was friendly, but service was a little slow and our waiter didn't check on us as often as we would've liked for water refills. They have a great happy hour from 3 to 5 PM with half off all appetizers and house wine for only $3!

Outside of happy hour, the drinks and food are pricey. $9 beers/$16 cocktails. Ambiance is an Irish pub. The place was nearly empty, but the servers were really slow and inattentive.

Although I didn't order it this visit, I have enjoyed their donegal chips and dip. I'd be interested in attending a live music night in the future.

We took our chances and came on a Saturday night at 5p. Thankfully the place wasn't busy yet. We got a table in the back entrance and it was perfect. Very romantic with the lighting and intimate dining experience. By the time 530p-6p rolled around it was pretty packed. Our waitress was great - attentive and welcoming. Large menu with lots of options both food and drink. The bread and oil were divine. We went with the happy hour menu which was impressive to see on a weekend. The happy hour menu was amazing - a ton of drink and food options. We were able to order two cocktails and 4 food items all for about $60! The limoncello spritz and limoncello martini were both so delicious and balanced. Ordered the tomato and cucumber salad, carciofi fritti artichoke, mussels, and the meatball trio. I am still dreaming of this meal and would eat it again in a heartbeat! Everything was a good portion size even for happy hour and so delicious. Meatballs were tender, the artichoke had an amazing breading on it, the mussels were fresh, and the salad was refreshing. We were so full afterwards and had to decline dessert. Downstairs has the restrooms but there was a single stall restroom on the main dining floor too. In the front is more of a bar type seating, middle houses the kitchen and the back is the more moody dining room. Metered parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Such a great spot in downtown Rochester!

The only nice thing I can say about it is that the bread (pizza dough?) was great and so was the staff.

The sauce tasted like a sickly sweet tomato concentrate (pizza sauce?) - I can't figure this place out. This is one and done.

The place itself was also very clean and comfortable, which I really appreciate. Price-wise, I can see what others have mentioned. My lunch came to $21 before tip, which feels a bit steep for what I got. Nothing about the meal really stood out enough to justify making this a regular spot for me. That said, if friends or coworkers wanted to go, I'd have no objection to returning. All in all, a pleasant experience thanks to the great service and cleanliness, even if the food and pricing didn't quite wow me.

We were quickly seated in a comfortable booth and the fun began. There were so many things I wanted to order but was told "you have to order the prime rib". All four of us took that advice and that is what we ordered. 1 rare, 2 medium rare and 1 medium and that is how they were delivered. Perfect. Meals came with soup or salad. You could also order the table side prepared Caesar Salad which both of our friends did order. Just watching the preparation of the salads was amazing. Our friends have been here many times so they knew how good they were. My wife and I each enjoyed the French Onion soup which was very full flavored unlike watery versions many restaurants serve. All of our prime rib dinners were outstanding. Horseradish added to the enjoyment of this perfectly prepared dish. I had heard that this restaurant had recent new owners. I did not verify this however. Service was as good as the food. Not only was our server (Mary) excellent but anyone walking the floor was quick to take away used plates and refill drinks. I experienced one thing I've never encountered before. When bringing our checks, our server reminded us not once but twice the tip was not included. Strange and I might have reacted if everything wasn't so otherwise.perfect. Maybe she's not been tiped before-I don't know. She did the job and we paid her well for it.

I visited this restaurant on a Tuesday and found it to be fairly busy. There was no piano music…read moreplaying, but plenty of chatter from the nearby tables. Inside is dark, moody, with lots of brick and dark woods as you would expect for the era in which the building was constructed. I sat at the bar since I dined alone, where there were plenty of open barstools. They start you off with complementary bread service which is a mix of dinner rolls as well as small and large crunchy bread sticks. I just stuck to the rolls which are fairly standard dinner rolls. They bring a bowl of butter in packets; however, they did not give me a plate to eat my bread....just a napkin layed across the bartop which was strange. I later saw other bartop patrons being served a small plate for their rolls, so apparently they just forgot mine. For drinks, they do have all the usual drinks, beer, wine and cocktails. I just stuck with an iced tea which was refilled several times during my visit. I didn't want to go crazy with ordering so I just stuck to the prime rib, a side of their special baked potato, a french onion soup and an iced tea. Their actual steaks start at around $45, as of August 2026. French onion soup - pretty standard. This is a small portion/cup. Some restaurants cup sizes are larger than others. I did like it though. Prime rib - this is a healthy 16oz slice. Cooked to perfection. They asked how I wanted it....they gave me a perfect slice. The one interesting thing is they give you 2 different horseradishes here, regular and whipped. I preferred the whipped. I ate most of it, leaving only a couple of ounces at the end. The entire time I felt like this was maybe closer to 22 or 24 ounces. Twice baked potato - really tasty as they typically are. I was only able to eat half of it though. Service was very attentive even though the bartender was training a new employee the entire time.
