[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a comfortable place to grab a cocktail and a bite to eat in a nice quiet nook in your Rochester Marriott Hotel lobby lounge/restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Your staff provided nice friendly service and respite in between times I was coming and going from the hospital across the street as my husband recovered from surgery. I stayed at the Homewood Suites by Hilton next door. Thank you read more

The best blackened steak sandwich in town. The chef use to cook at The Avery in Rochester which has been closed for some time.

The service was very fast. Seated immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice dining area. The room has several private seats that separated you from others with a half wall[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Food was very good. I ordered the chicken and it was insanely huge!! The chicken meal is easily shareable. The FF had a tasty seasoning on them. The chicken also had a special honey mayonnaise. Very good. Prices were reasonable for a sit-down style restaurant. The only complaint, get Heinz and be done with it!! Pepsi products a plus. Great location right across the street from the main entrance to St. Mary's Hospital. read more

Tonight I enjoyed the garlic broiled walleye dinner. It was delicious! Perfectly cooked and served hot and fresh. Portion size was spot on for the price. Mashed red-skinned potatoes hit the spot as one of the sides. Asparagus was grilled perfectly. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

For the price they charge you think you would get decent food, but you won't. I ordered the nachos, the chicken was horrible, the cheese or the top of the chips was microwaved. I'm no chef, but I've made far better in my own home. read more

Order rice bowl but removed steak, cheese, and avocado ranch due to being vegan. I got no avocado and basically got a cup of rice with some pico. Maybe 200 calories for $17. read more

We ordered the salmon dinner and shared it. Plenty for both of us and delicious. Then we shared a bread pudding dessert which was divine. The service was excellent , friendly and prompt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was perfect for us, nicely spaced seating and relaxing experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Saints is still one of Rochester's best kept secrets. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It deserves to be busier but the atmosphere is very Marriot professional and quiet so locals may not vibe on that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They still have the best chicken fingers, burgers, and blackened steak sandwich in town. Most stuff isn't anything too fancy or try hard, and that's why I like. Simple with a little spice. If you haven't been, give Saints a try. It keeps the memory of the old Aviary Restaurant and flavor alive! read more

We walked over from the next door hotel because Homewood employees told us that the chef here at Saints had provided the chicken barley soup they served Wednesday evening- and that was terrific I normally would not have tried a hotel restaurant but I'm happy we came here because we had little energy remaining after a day of Mayo testing and the atmosphere here is very friendly, comfortable and inviting- We both ordered the Canadian Walleye sandwich (my moms without bread because she has celiac) and a few drinks I'd suggest the Canadian walleye at least once while you're in the area- you'll see it on most menus They have a Kona brew here on draft for $6 that was great too Service very friendly and you can "come as you are" here- lots of people on their own at the bar read more

This was a welcome dinner option for my mom and me when we were done with her Mayo Clinic appts for the day. She had a chicken wrap and sweet potato fries and was super happy with her choices. I had a walleye sandwich and regular fries (which were legit great, although I recommend asking for half seasoning). We split a Snickers pie for dessert which was decent. Prices were also reasonable. I very much appreciated being able to treat her to a decent dinner after a long day without having to leave the hotel! read more

Tried Saints on Second Bar & Grill yesterday evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was wonderful to be able to have conversations without TV or background music blaring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shelby, our server was fantastic. I had one of the specials, a pork tenderloin sandwich with Cajun fries. Very good and very filling. J had a steak sandwich. He ordered med-rare but got med but also enjoyed it. We shared homemade apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious and I feel very sure they did not use canned apples. Prices weren't too bad. About $18 each. read more

Food and service were good but it has the atmosphere of a hotel cafeteria. Good place to eat if you are staying in the Courtyard.

Great food and service was excellent. It was fun to sit in the little area with the TVs next to the table. We appreciated the privacy.

Food was cold The steak was way overcooked not even close to what we asked it to be cooked. Expensive Could not finish food read more

I ordered food to go leaving St. Mary's . We ordered the spicy Thai wings . These are some of the best wings I've ever eaten . Like seriously good . Every time i go here I order the wings . Spicy, sweet, delicious. The Black and Blue Salad was also fantastic. The dressing made the salad . I'll ask for more next time it was that good . My wife ordered the penne pasta with chicken and asparagus. She said it was good then asparagus was slightly over cook . This is the only complaint and why I gave 4 not 5 stars. Over great menu items I've had are the Stocky chicken sandwich, Walleye sandwich and Steak sandwich . All were great . This is one good place still left in Rochester that always seems to get overlooked. Well worthy of a visit . read more

Ordered my food online. Showed up to pick-up and waited 20 minutes because it wasn't ready. Was told after waiting 20 minutes that they're all out of wraps. I left with no food. Very poor service. read more

Great service and good food. It's a fabulous location with parking options. Would recommend to friends and will return. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere could use a bit of sprucing, but it makes up in food and friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Cute little place with typical Midwest charm. We weren't expecting much for a hotel place but this had exactly what we needed after a long day visiting a relative at St Mary's. We got the steak sandwich. "How would you like that prepared?" we were asked. Um medium? Why would a shaved steak sandwich need that? But turns out it's an actual piece of steak! And it was good. Wasn't chewy or hard to eat in a sandwich. Add a great au jus and I was happy. Got a beer too. It's nothing too fancy but overall the price and location is right. read more

i have been ordering from Saints for quite sometime... the food has always been fabulous! Today is another story! What an absolute disappointment! My chicken fingers, ( which are normally huge & juicy!), were the most disgusting, dry, overcooked & smallest thing I have ever ate! Definitely not a finger, more like on over dried chicken bite. Hope the real chef is on vacation! otherwise I will not order from them again! read more

ZERO OUT OF TEN. I've never left a review, but tonight bothered me enough to write this. I went to Saints with my family for the shrimp pasta. It's always been a great environment with great food. However tonight the food was good but the service was absolute dog water. Our waitress was rude right off the bat, then messed up our apps which were simple salads and didn't bring silverware out. She then took our order without writing anything down which would be fine if her memory was decent...it wasn't. She thoroughly messed up our main orders and then proceeded to blame the mistake on us instead of taking responsibility for herself. The manager came out and was nice about the situation but did nothing to fix it. The waitress then took about 10-15 minutes to come check in on us and then took another 10 minutes to run our bill which she also messed up by overcharging us. Overall ZERO out of ten experience and would not recommend unless you're looking for terrible service. read more

Friendly service with amazing food! Great location directly across the street from Mayo-Saint Mary's. My wife and I have had several meals here over the past two weeks and have never left disappointed. Definitely appreciate the friendly staff and great service after a long and stressful day with a family member in the hospital. read more

Located in the Marriott Courtyard, this bar and grill has a strange open feel when you walk in, almost as if they set up tables and chairs in the hotel lobby. Art on the wall beside the basketball game. There is also a traditional bar to the side with stools and happy hour and assortment of liquid dieters. The menu has bar fare with potato skins, burgers and wraps, pastas and steaks. Service was capable and cheerful and the place was clean as a whistle. The food was not fast (during which time I enjoyed engaging company). The ribeye was excellent, prepared to perfection. So was the asparagus, and mashed cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. The chocolate tort was dry and mediocre. It's truly 3.5 stars for this visit. read more

I have always recommended this place to everyone. However things must of changed. I ordered the room service. My total was not told to me over the phone. When it arrived to my room the total should of been 37.00 but they charge an automatic tip And delivery charge to just bring the food up the elevator. My total was $57.00. They did not give me a copy of the receipt and I tipped an additional $5.00 on top of this because I wasn't aware of the additional charges. None of the financials would of been an issue for me if the food was good. Everything was cold. Cold shrimp tacos, the Walleye sandwich was not breaded as described and it was also cold. The artichoke dip was a tiny amount. Not worth it. read more

I came here for the bread pudding, which was surprisingly good since I walked in with low expectations since it was a banana bread pudding. It wasn't overly bananay, but after awhile I could taste more and more of the banana flavor. Bring your sweet tooth! I would say 4 stars for the bread pudding. I also got the blackened Steak Sandwich, the meat was super tough. I wouldn't say I have weak teeth lol but it was extremely tough at some spots. They should you a different type of meat for this sandwich. It would have been a lot better. I liked my experience here, regardless of my stars. I might come back to try some other things. read more

Charlie (Bartender) and Nate (server) were AMAZING. So nice, fun and great conversation. With Charlies suggestions I ended having a soup and salad that were really good Honestly, they were the best part of my night and I cannot wait to come back. Great service and food! read more

Pretty Good Food and Great Service!!!! So I have been staying at the hotel that this little bar/restaurant is located in (Courtyard Marriott) and I must say its a nice surprise to not have to leave the hotel all the time to get some good food. I have had quite a few things on the menu so hopefully I can be of some help. Wings (hot) were pretty stellar only complaint is that they were a little salty. I also had the Steak Sandwich which was damn good (just a tad over cooked so maybe ask for it rare since I asked for it med rare and it came out med well haha). There was also this thing that was like a hamburger cheese contraption over potato skins (think it was called BBQ Potato Skins), stay the hell away from those things I think they were just trying to do too much when it came to that dish. Tried the burger (think it was the Second St. Burger) and it was delish. Also, had the steak tacos and those were pretty good as well. As far as desert goes, man...whoa had the caramel apple pie a la mode and that was amazing so do try that. Wait staff is pretty cool there is a guy there named Ben that takes care of business so props to him and a chick named Ellen at the bar that holds it down quite well too so props to her. One plus they do have a Starbucks machine at the bar and since I was visiting when it was cold it was nice to get a hot choc with whiskey which was made perfect by the chick above. Last thing, prices are pretty reasonable and they do offer a happy hour (from 5-7 daily I think) that gives you some food items for 5 bucks and a few draft beers on tap for two bucks. Stronger drinks during that time like Martini's I think are five bucks. Overall, recommendations all around. Check it out... good food, good peeps, great service!!! Cheers!!! read more

Have never had a bad meal! So many yummy options and the waitstaff are so friendly and kind! Alway accommodating to larger groups also!

A great location. Very friendly staff. Plenty of choices of delicious foods and beverages. I enjoyed the hospitality experience!

Ordered take out at about 5pm on a Tuesday. Had the walleye sandwich and sweet potato fries. The fish was tasty, but there was a lot more bun than fish. Fries were ok. Asked about soup.. The only flavor available was jalapeño chicken. Decided to pass on that. Wanted the key lime cheese cake for dessert but there was none. Kind of a let down, but as a visitor of a patient at Mayo Clinic across the street, and Covid issues now I was ok but wouldn't go out of my way to order here again. read more

Saints is part of the Courtyard Marriott hotel but they say it is not affiliated with the hotel - so they said. Honestly, I wish is was affiliated because it would probably be better. Service: Was excellent. Our waiter who was also the bartender was attentive if not overly so and did a nice job. Menu: Very generic options...not much beyond what you'd expect from a hotel bar. Certainly didn't live up to the downtown Rochester vibe with the many other choices in town. Food: It was ok. I had the shrimp tacos. Open tortillas that were stale or overcooked on edges, shrimp had good flavor and sauce was good but not a great effort. Dining partners had the ahi tuna sandwich - which they rated good and the shrimp fettucine. Price: 3 dinners, 4 drinks for a $49 tab without tip. Not bad. Atmosphere: We might as well have been in an office conference room. Very generic even though we were at a booth. We went because it was easy and didn't have to park. In hindsight, there are so many better options in Rochester so drive or walk a mile to far better options. Frankly, I have no idea why this is rated 4 stars because as far as food & atmosphere goes it was underwhelming and my 2 star rating is generous. read more

The reviews for this place are puzzling. I ate here a couple of times out of convenience during my stay at the attached Marriott Courtyard. Mediocre overpriced hotel food at best with lackluster service. We come to Rochester a lot and there are so many better options. read more

I am staying at a nearby hotel for work and came across this bar during my walk. It's a hotel "lobby" type bar, although not in the actual lobby check-in in area. The drinks Charlie and Nate made me were excellent. They were both very friendly and the happy hour deals are great. read more

A comfortable, quiet setting that is great for conversation. Food was tasty, service friendly and efficient. Menu had some creative items on it that I haven't seen in many restaurants. read more

This is an outstanding restaurant with superb service!!! The staff has shown time and time again how to treat their customers with kindness and great serve. The cook(s) makes everything home-made with secret recipes! We have to recommend that famous 'Blacked streak sandwich' And if you can still make room for the 'Bread pudding your a champ!' I say share if you can but my husband and son refuse ... yes they usually need a nap after that yummy meal. Everything is good that's what is so impressive about this fine restaurant!! My family and I have been visiting 'Saints on 2nd' for the last 8 years while making visits and stays at St.Marys hospital and Mayo clinic. Restaurant conveniently located in the hotel but open to all. The restaurant is immaculately clean, pleasant atmosphere, perfect in size, easily accessible and kid friendly it's a must if your visiting in the Rochester area! read more

The place was quiet and a bit dull. I wish it was a bit more lively. Food and service was really nice. My food was OK but I won't like to repeat that place. The flavors were OK but could have been prepared better. read more

I don't know why this place is rated so high. Food was not only tough to look at but it tasted terrible as well. Service was "just ok". I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Wife and I were looking to have a date night after a long work week. Saints on Second turned out to be a very disappointing choice. Food quality 4.5 stars. Food value 2.75 stars. Service 1 star at best. Our server could not have been less intetested in serving us(we got an eye roll on several occasions). The final straw for me was when we were not offered dessert(I really wanted to try the Snickers cream pie). The check wad dropped off at the table without asking if we wanted another round so we went a couple doors down for one. Unlikely to return. read more
