This was so fun. What a great date night. We tried four different cocktails, shishito peppers, the poke bowl, and the steak frites. All had wonderful and distinct flavors. Some I didn’t love but understood. Tried the ice cream cake for dessert. Definitely a fun place. A bit on the expensive side. Bar tender was out of this world and she made some great choices for us. Parking was easy. Decor is fun.

What a great dining experience. The food is obviously seafood focused and they did a great job with that. We had a few appetizers that were delicious. Then I had the nigiri which was exceptionally good. The drinks were awesome. The highlight was our waitress Sara. She was a sweetheart and really made great suggestions for us. Final thought they have excellent Tequila options that are not common in Rochester!

Excellent food and service! Rochester has so many restaurants and we tend to keep going back to our favorites. We've overlooked this one and were recently shown the error of our ways.

Absolute must-visit. Top class sushi and seafood in a warm modern setting. The TNT roll was incredible, as was the smoke gouda and cauliflower gratin. Macadamia crusted scallops also excellent. Burger looked great, fries were great. Flavorful drink menu. Limited seating in an open, well-lit dining room, but has a large bar for extra seating. Very friendly staff. Parking available.

If you haven’t been to Velvet Belly I suggest you get there as quickly as possible. The service is amazing, only to be outdone by the food. From the sushi to the Wagyu steak and sides to the absolutely delicious drinks and dessert this is an experience! Best flavors I’ve experienced in years. This will be our new go to restaurant, unbelievable atmosphere, Unbelievable fresh food, unbelievable service.
