As a side note, we have been here before and Dan has been our server before. He does his job well. We started with drinks for our wives, Pomegranate Martinis and Old Fashioned for us guys. The guys did change to a bottle of wine from a good list with fair prices. Mussels in white wine were good. Though I think a Octopus Salad would have hit the spot better. 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.

The bartender Garrett made a great recommendation on a drink and was very educated on the menu items.

Visited this place on Sunday for a girl's brunch. I booked online, easy but was necessary for a…read moreNoon brunch on a Sunday? No. It was somewhat busy but not enough to make a reservation. 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.

Rochester Chop House is one of those places that just feels special the moment you walk in. Tucked…read moreright in downtown Rochester, it has that classic steakhouse charm warm lighting, beautiful bar area, and an atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the evening. The steaks were cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and you can tell they care about quality. The sides were just as good, and the wine selection made it easy to find the perfect pairing. What stood out most, though, was the service attentive, welcoming, and genuinely kind without being over the top. Whether you're planning a date night, celebrating something big, or hosting a client dinner in Rochester, MI, this is a place that feels both elevated and comfortable at the same time. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Oakland County for a great meal and great experience.

We love coming back as the service is always over the top and the food is equally Devine. Tonight's server was Tyrone and did not disappoint. Very personable and making sure we were content. Our dinner for four people included Escargot, Mussels, Ceaser Salads and the main course being three filets and one Delmonico Steak. Of course there were left overs, lol. Definitely one place to thoroughly entice your taste buds and senses with equally great service. Thank you

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.

It was great and I look forward to getting it again next time. Last week I got the salmon and hubs got the filet. His filet was overcooked, but they were quick to fix it and the second was 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.

Fun Irish pub in the heart of downtown Rochester with live music on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday…read moreevenings. The ambience is dark with heavy wood fixtures and lots of Irish decoration. 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. I ordered the Irish potato skins and the corned beef is brown and crumbled like ground beef, which was not what I was expecting. 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. I tried to stay positive, but once I tried the Calamari Captain I knew this whole night was likely heading sideways. It did not taste fresh. Then I had the meat ravioli. The sauce tasted like a sickly sweet tomato concentrate (pizza sauce?) - I can't figure this place out. This is one and done.
