I love that they have happy hour at the bar from 2-6pm which I took full advantage of. Overall, this would be a great place to visit with large groups since they have plenty of seating. You simply order at the cashier, bring your number to your table, and they will bring out the food directly to you which is not common of food halls.

The reason for the 4 is that the French toast isn't up to par with what I've experienced as great. It was dry and not much flavor. The service was incredible! They are run by such sweet staff.

In town shopping for a new car and this place was recommended by the salesperson. My wife said,…read more"It's pretty day, I wish we could find someplace we could sit outside and eat" She has this fantasy that she lives in Florida where you can eat outside all the time. She was ecstatic to notice this place has outdoor dining. Happy wife - happy life! So yes we ate there(here). Service was prompt and attentive. Very helpful waiter. She wanted the broasted chicken. I said what the heck? Who goes to a BBQ place and doesn't order BBQ. Let's leave! Well, perhaps i said it more politely than that. I'm no fool. But we both decided to eat BBQ Pork sandwiches. They came with fries and a bit of coleslaw for you Carolina people who love to pollute your pure BBQ flavor. Okay yeah... I put it on my sandwich too but that don't make it right. There were sauces on the table to use. Wife says the "hot" one... is really hot! Me? I stayed with original and sweet. The sandwiches were excellent. The fries weren't your average fries you get at a fast food joint. They were seasoned well and were perfect with the pork sandwich. As a side note we wanted the ribs but it was lunch time and we didn't want to spend a ton of money on ribs. We wanted to eat light. Lucky for us, it was 1:45 and at 2:00pm Happy Hour started and we could order individual single ribs. Yes, they made us wait. We finished our sandwiches and ordered at 2:01pm. By 2:15 my stomach told me i was full and I no longer wanted ribs.... but... we ordered them so they showed up a minute or so later..... and even though I was full.... man these ribs were amazing. We only got three of them and gosh, you could taste the smoke on them....They weren't fall off the bone tender which some people like but me? I prefer tender but enough to stay on the bone so i can gnaw them off with my teeth.... they were really good. I'll go back again... after 2;00PM..... and order some ribs as an appetizer to eat while i wait on my Broasted Chicken.

We all ended up getting the same sandwich and mixed sides. We left thinking we may need to come back the same way and stop here again before the trip is over because wow. What we loved: Pulled Pork Sandwich (this was freaking perfect. The bun was amazing, meat was the perfect moisture, not greasy or fatty. 10/10) Sauce wise we liked the original and the K.C.

You mix everything in the bowl -- kimchi, bacon, spam, including two Sunnyside up eggs. And then the heat of the bowl continues to create a crunchy golden base of rice that is considered the favorite part for many traditionalists. $22 Side dishes are excellent vegetarian. This time there was kimchi, potato salad, and seasoned zucchini. That was my favorite. They have a substantial vegetarian menu as well. They introduced a "winter menu" that includes the beef short rib comfort soup which has Korean radish. Fried calamari with a gochujang aïoli. $15 Chicken Kabi which is stirfry chicken with sweet potatoes and cabbage and carrots. $23 Korean corn dogs which are mozzarella cheese sticks fried and dressed in mayo ketchup sugar. $7.50 each. Jjampong noodle soup is another comfort soup it's filled with seafood pork belly cabbage and is considered a favorite among noodle lovers. $20 Also the vegan option of mushroom bulgogi which has roasted mushrooms $18.

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.

Although, we did not have any beer or cocktails. Cheese curds were classic greasy cheese curds but we enjoyed them. The tuna bowl was spendy for its size. The seared tuna hit the spot but the rice and veggies were plain in flavor. The side ceasar salad wasn't great, I think the lettuce was a little bad, soft and wilty.
