Tried out Hollandberry Pannekoeken on a Sunday around 1 PM. The restaurant was packed, but the wait…read morewasn't bad at all, about 20 minutes. Definitely a brunch spot that many people visit morning/lunchtime. We ordered the Hollandberry Burger and swapped the fries for onion rings (+$2), and also got the Bacon Smoked Gouda Burger with regular fries. Both burgers were ordered medium rare, but the Smoked Gouda Burger came out closer to medium/well done, making it a bit dry. The service was a letdown. Water is served in small mason jars, and ours was never refilled until we requested water after being there for an hour. We also requested sauce. Both never arrived until our table asked for it a second time which took about 10 minutes later to get to us. To top it off, we were handed to go boxes while we were still eating. We realized a table nearby asked for boxes and had been waiting for it to leave. The experience felt a little disorganized. Would I come back? Maybe, but I'd probably skip the burgers and try one of the pannekoeken instead if I'm feeling something sweet, since that's what Hollandberry is really known for.

Expensive, pretty, terrific food, friendly service. RESERVATIONS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. We had…read morereservations for 4 PM Sat afternoon - some people who arrived at same time without reservatios could not be seated. Parmesan Walleye was great, as was asparagus, lemon martini and roast beef. So was chocolate cake & ice cream. Prices are high. We were initially seated in bar where music was very loud. We asked to be moved to a quieter table. that was much better.

Went here to celebrate my anniversary with my wife. The food was delectable. Our favorite star of…read morethe show was the Duck Drummies, the sauce paired well with the meat. Just wanted a bit more sauce. The salmon was cooked well with a crispy skin underneath. Flavors played together nicely with the textures. We enjoyed the dessert as the textures (there's a theme here) had great interplay with the flavors in the dish. Only wish that pastry was hot. The ambience is nice and chill. It can feel a bit cramped but gives kinda a speakeasy vibe meets hipster. Note that finding parking is a bit challenging here. There are two booths on the window that would make excellent date spots. The reason for the rating is due to the service. I made a reservation for the spot and made reference to it being our anniversary. However, nothing was done to reference the reason for the dinner. I had never been there and didn't know about the booth availability. The place was busy but we didn't get much attention (menus were left on the table, didn't get small plates to eat the Drummies properly, got one refill of water toward the end, etc). I felt bad about this rating because I've read people enjoying the experience. However, this is what I experienced. The food is great. Service could be better.

So happy we tried this spot while in Rochester!…read more Quaint, friendly, with a great menu! I can't say enough about Bleu Duck Kitchen. We sat at the bar for dinner and enjoyed every minute of our time there. Great drink menu and the cocktails are amazing! The Bleu Duck Old Fashioned was very good. Started out with the Hawaiian rolls and I recommend you do the same....SO GOOD! I ordered the duck for my meal and really enjoyed it. Cooked perfectly and the sauce was fantastic. Looks like they change the recipe throughout the seasons. Save room for dessert. We ordered the fresh baked cookies. Thats right, fresh baked cookies. Baked when you ordered them. Loved it! So happy with our visit to Bleu Duck. We will be back on our next trip to Rochester.

There was quite a lot to choose from, and it all sounded so good! We finally settled on the Cajun hash for savory; you need a sweet chaser - the caramel pecan French toast was going to do that job. It was a big effort getting pictures because they first thing I wanted to do when seeing these was to dig right in. The Cajun hash was PACKED with flavor. Each bite just as good as the last till it was all gone . Following up with the French toast was just so good. I'm typically conflicted when pecans are involved but there was no grey area here. I loved every bite! This has been added to my "definitely eat here again" list!

The food was delicious and everyone that delivered food was friendly. However, our server was…read moreinattentive and overwhelmed, then he tried to blame his poor service on the bartender.

This was my second time coming to Crave. The first was almost 3 years ago, while I was visiting…read more Today, it was as we were traveling through on our way back home. We stayed at the hotel and just wanted to eat/drink without having to go out in the cold. It was around 7 pm and we thought it would be busy for a Saturday, it was not. There were three of us. We were seated right away. At first, we had one server who took our drink orders and then he got busy with other tables so we were forgotten about for about 10 minutes before ordering. But, that was alright. Gigi, became our server and she was also bartending. She was the best! She was on it. After dinner, a large group came into the bar and she was pumping those drinks out so fast. My brother-in-law ordered a 3 course meal off the guest appreciation menu, which was a great deal for $39.00. My husband and I ordered the calamari for an appetizer. This was the only thing we were disappointed with as the aioli had no flavor nor did the calamari. We ordered sushi, the California Roll and Spider Roll, both very delicious. We enjoyed our experience. If ever in the area, we will definitely return!

I was there today to waste some time before a chat with my mother's care team at Mayo, and really enjoyed the place. Lunch was a delicious, crispy, indulgent beef quesadilla and a refreshing gin gimlet. The price was right. The gimlet was chilly and strong. And the quesadilla was perfectly griddled, brimming with melty cheese and seasoned beef.

Do you know how when you bite into an onion ring and it pulls out the onion so you just have batter left? Not here! Every amazing bite of the lightly battered rings was perfect. Bunnies coconut cake to go and it was delicious. Service was great too!

For the price and the quantity, I expected it might have been lower quality but everything lookedCaesar Salad amazing. It tasted even better! Especially the Cast Iron Mac N Cheese. It is creamy and comforting with a wonderful contrasting finishing crumb. Then we got beef on top which added a sweet filling protein. I also felt good after eating. I did not feel bloated, even though I ate until I was full. That is a sign of fresh and healthy ingredients. I would come back to try more of the menu at any time!

We stopped in for Forager while visiting Rochester…read more Our server Emily was very friendly and attentive. She never left us waiting for service and offered some great suggestions on the menu. While we know this is a brewery, they also serve batch cocktails, instead of a full bar. We started with their version of an old fashioned, which wasn't our first choice but they were actually tasty albeit a bit sweet. Since the weather was below 0, I craved something hot and comforting. I ordered the Beef Stroganoff which was tasty. Included braised local beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, parmesan, cream sauce, dill, house-made fettuccini, topped with sour cream. The sauce was light so you didn't feel like it weighed you down. My husband ordered the birria tacos. Beef brisket, white onions, mozzarella, cilantro, corn tortilla, green salsa, beef broth, lime Although they were tasty, they were quite greasy. Prices were reasonable. I would come back again and try the pizza.

The prices were pretty high, but I enjoyed both items. The matcha wasn't very hot, but still tasted great. Such a cute spot to meet friends or get a change of scenery in Rochester!
