Nice restaurant in good location in downtown Rochester. Food quality was mid-range type. Service was spotty, lot of wait time in between. A bit overpriced for what it offers.

I seriously loved this hip and pretty little spot. We came in last minute with no reservation and were able to sit at the bar. Service from the bartender was excellent, as were the cocktails, the wine selection, and the truly excellent food. Would love to come back and definitely want to check out their sister restaurant that's opening across the way. Manager checked in on us a couple of times as well. Great service and overall experience

My wife and I met friends here for dinner. Not our 1st time, not our last either! I highly recommend trying the grilled Octopus 🐙 I had the Ribeye, my wife always orders the pizza! Great evening, super nice staff all around.

Broccolini, ricotta (ask for honey and more bread), calamari, and Chicken Milanese was delicious. Would definitely get again and will be back for these. Meatballs were super salty and we were already 2 drinks in. Pizza and dessert was just ok and probably wouldn’t reorder.
