Back in Rochester for a weekend visit with friends. Had to get in some breakfast, of course…read more Started with catfish, eggs, grits, and house potatoes at a nearby restaurant. I liked the service. I loved the food. Having greatly reduced the amount of salt I add to my cooking, I noticed a heavy hand in the catfish batter and in the potatoes. Since I had one more day left in Rochester and The Toast Factory was close to my hotel, I stopped in again for chicken and waffle. This scored 100 out of 10. The batter on the chicken wings was just right, not salty and not bland. The waffle was not sweet. This is a menu item I will plan to order whenever I return.

Food, phenomenal. We all got french toast, different flavors, the two favorites were apple and…read moreyam. I could eat the french toast w yams every meal for a month. We also got chicken wings, crispy juicy and delicious. Definitely need to come back and get more things like grits and biscuits. Plus everyone here was so nice and helpful, it was like being invited to a nice family's home. The Tall guy with the Pitt hoodie, the manager I guess, was everywhere making everything right. Can't believe it took us so long to try this place! Will be back.

It was made with shredded potatoes (instead of cubed) and it had some spice to it. It was a large portion, with two eggs and toast plus an extra side of home fried potatoes which had some good crunchy pieces. We didn't have a pancake but they are enormous. Probably the size of 3 or 4 pancakes in one. Can't wait to try that next time.

Food is always. Excellent. Services have been good at both. The decor is that of a diner. If you come here, try the pancakes. They're ginormous. Love the Mediterranean salad if you're in for a salad, definitely get it. Sandwiches are delicious. I haven't had a bad meal here. I would recommend this place to anyone if you need breakfast or lunch find an original Steve's diner in the Rochester area and go eat you will not be let down

Food was good, however the waiter acted like he was upset that there were patrons there. Did not…read moresay a word. There were 3 tables with 2 people at each table.

I can confirm that the shrimp and grits are wonderful as well as the waffles, home fries and everything else that we have tried which is pretty much everything. My aunt raved about the catfish nuggets. Their chicken and waffles are served with wings not tenders so that is also a big hit. The shrimp and grits feature jumbo shrimp, not the small ones, and the portion is large enough for two of us to split. Our family hosted a small gathering here in the fall and we recently went back, as a couple and had an amazing experience. I had not previously heard of this restaurant prior to my niece planning and making the recommendation, but we are so happy that we did. The food is nothing short of phenomenal. Did I mention that it is flavorful and delicious? Can I elaborate on how overly nice everyone on the staff is from the owner, to the wonderful people working in the kitchen. The atmosphere is modern with great vibes. The music is loud, but lends itself to a fun vibe. The mimosas are strong and a decent pour. Lots of good things to say about Vault, but the bottom line is that it is more than worthy of a visit. I have read other reviews comment on the wait. We have never experienced a long wait times. However, the dining room is not super large, so if you go on a Saturday or Sunday maybe use common sense and know that you'll be waiting longer during peak times. We dined midweek and waited no time to sit since there weren't many people and no more than 15-20 minutes for our meal. Our server, this time, could have been a little more prompt as it took her about 15 minutes to appear from the back to take orders for my table and another one. We have parked on the street during visits. Parking is not the most ideal, but we have managed to easily find a spot. All good things have been experienced during our visits. Add this to your restaurant rotation because we certainly already have! We like it.

We made a reservation and upon arriving waited at the door in line behind 2 other people that were…read morelooking for a table. Behind us were 2 more people. The hostess talked to the people in front the of us for a good 5 minutes or so about what their options were because there wasn't a table available for them. The restaurant was full except for the one table that was probably reserved for us. The hostess never once looked at us, acknowledged our presence or said the simple words that make any customer happy, "I'll be right with you." So we walked out unhappy and went to another place in the public market that made us feel very welcome instead. It was disappointing and I won't be going back but we had a fantastic brunch somewhere else.

Basic diner fare: omelettes, eggs, waffles, pancakes, eggs Benedict... menu is not high end or extensive but just what you're looking for in a good breakfast diner. Daughter got choc chip pancakes and I got the Greek omelette. Both good. Omelette could have come off the griddle 1 min earlier and it would have been perfect, it was just a little overdone. But the flavor was great, gyro meat was really nicely spiced, spinach and feta were good, makes me want to go back for lunch and get a pita wrap. Upgrade from hash browns to tater tots was the right call, they were a great side. All the staff were friendly and quick to help, refill coffee, etc. We ate inside and it was nice, it's on the canal but across the street so patio just looks out at the parking lot.

Simply Crepes: A True Five-Star Culinary Experience!…read more Simply Crepes is an absolute gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the pride and passion the owner puts into this restaurant--it truly shows in every detail, from the inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. A special shout-out must go to our server, Morgan, who was fabulous! Morgan was attentive, friendly, and made our entire dining experience seamless and enjoyable. Great service is the cherry on top, and Morgan delivered. But let's talk about the food, because it is simply fabulous! Shrimp and Grits: This dish is a masterpiece. The grits were creamy and perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp were plump and flavorful. It's easily one of the best versions I've ever had. Whammy Chicken Sandwich: This is not your average sandwich! Juicy, tender chicken layered with delicious toppings--it lives up to the name and delivers a total flavor "whammy." It's bold, satisfying, and a must-try. Chicken and Crepes: The combination was delicious, but my husband noted one minor preference. We believe the syrup served was a bourbon syrup, which, while unique, he would have preferred a more traditional maple syrup. Still, a high-quality and satisfying dish! Mimosas Flight: The perfect way to start your brunch! The flight offers a fantastic variety of flavors, allowing you to sample and find a new favorite. They were all fresh, bubbly, and beautifully presented. Strawberry Mojito: And speaking of drinks, the strawberry mojito was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly balanced--refreshing, sweet, and minty, making it a perfect complement to the meal. Every dish we tried was executed with skill and high-quality ingredients. This is much more than just a crepe place; it's a destination for outstanding breakfast and lunch fare. If you're looking for incredible food, great drinks, and a place where the owner genuinely cares about your experience, look no further than Simply Crepes. Five stars all the way! We will absolutely be back soon!
