Their menu is huge, but there are a few standout items that are so good they'll ruin you for overpriced fancy meals forever. Let's talk favorites: the stir fry and the oriental salad. Both are massive--like, bring-a-friend massive--and absolutely crave-worthy. But the real star? That Bloody Mary with their special spicy vodka. I'm not exaggerating when I say I dream about it. If it were socially acceptable to start every morning with one, I would. Whistle Binkies, don't ever change. Or get too crowded.

So wonderful that they were done before I could get a picture! How much can you make tenders your own? Roosters Too! manages. The tenders are lightly breaded chicken breasts that are sliced and tenderized before being battered in the same type of batter you usually see on walleye shore lunches. This made the tenders "tender" as well as having a light batter which complimented the chicken rather than overwhelms it. The bartenders were super friendly, outgoing and polite, when I came in to pick up the order. Side note: we've been there for brunch several times and their breakfasts are outstanding as well. Roosters Too! has become a go-to for us for a casual meal out.

We visited on a Friday at about 4:20. I find it puzzling how almost every facet of our supper was…read moreunpleasant. This was easily our worst restaurant visit in 6 months, which I never would have anticipated based on other reviews. We entered at the same time as another party. There was no staff at all in the main dining room, and only 2-3 tables with people. We stood around about 2-3 minutes waiting for someone to welcome us. In hindsight, we should've taken this as a hint to leave. The ambience of the place wasn't pleasant. While we liked the soft rock music playing, it was so loud that we had a hard time talking--and it was that loud, even though the restaurant was almost empty. The tap menu was printed on dark purple paper that was very hard to read; my husband's side of the table was so dark, he had to use the flashlight mode on his phone to try to read the menu. It took about 10 minutes for anyone to come to our table. My husband ordered a beer; he intended to order another one, but service was so sporadic, he gave up. On our server's initial visit, I ordered a cider. I was told they were out. I asked for a different cider. That was also out of stock. I did not like the third cider option, so I stuck with water. My water was only refilled once. We ordered the cheese curds appetizer. We were told we could choose two different kinds of cheese, so we asked for regular cheddar and white cheddar. She even repeated this back to us. When the curds came out (and they technically were not curds, but cubes of cheese) they were white cheddar and pepper jack. I cannot do spice. My husband had to cut in half most of the remaining cubes so that he could eat the pepper jack ones and spare me the mouth of fire. After a very long wait, our food came out. My husband's burger had apparently sat under the heat lamp for a while, as the bottom bun was soggy. The fries were quite good, though. I had the Sweet Parmesan Salad without additional meat. It was very one-note. The dressing was supposed to include parmesan, but I was left wondering if there should've been parm on the greens as well--it sure would've made it a better salad. We finished eating and sat and sat. No one had ever taken our empty appetizer dishes so the table was quite cramped. There were many employees there, but since there still weren't many customers, they were mostly gabbing in small groups. Our server was nowhere in sight. Finally, another woman stopped to ask if we needed anything. We were able to get the check, pay, and go. We have no desire to ever return, that's for sure.

The interior was lovely and the service was excellent and attentive. Our meal did not disappoint, either. We had the croquets with arroz con pollo, avocado crema, but no cilantro (my wife is allergic to it). Very tasty, as were our cocktails. My wife had the risotto with braised beef cheek (so tender!), roasted oyster mushrooms, veal demi-glace, and parmesan. Unctuous and umami. I had the Bucatini -- blue crab with anchovy butter and red pepper pesto. I'm a sucker for anchovies and the anchovy butter, once stirred into the pasta, was absolutely delicious and really complimented the crab. A truly savory and decadent treat. We were really pleased with our experience at Our Paladar and we look forward to coming back when we visit Rochester again in the not too distant future.
