We ordered the mussels that came with crusty bread, a cheese plate, salad, bougie fries, 2 drinks each and the crème brûlée. Everything was seriously so delicious. Cute restaurant and I see how they could get super busy on any given night. For my first time here, I was impressed by the quality of food and the authentically nice service. It was easy to make reservations the night before for a Tuesday dinner at4:30. Honestly there was no other party there but us for about a good 30-40 minutes so I would say a walk in on a Tuesday early on before 5:15 would entail in zero wait. Today was a gorgeous day but we sat inside for maximum vibes. Can't wait to come back!

Went for dinner…read more Service was friendly and helpful. The cocktails, which I remember really digging, fell flat this time. I got one w rye and rubarb, and it just tasted like a mike's hard lemonade. The mussels were delicious, fat and tender, swimming in a delicious broth that tasted more Thai than French, but really good. Came with a little baguette. The salmon was good, but should be listed as an appetizer. It's under the word 'grand' on the menu which literally means 'big.' Besides being a tiny portion, the sides were only for aesthetic purposes, not for feeding humans. The plate was pretty but not fulfilling. No need to return.

What an excellent experience at this restaurant. We made reservations to celebrate our anniversary…read moreand without a doubt I made the perfect choice. Hearing how this restaurant Redd Wood shares the primary owner of Redd, Richard Reddington; I knew I wasn't not going to be disappointed since Redd is a favourite of mine. Starting off with a few appetizers, the deviled eggs were great. I can't say the caviar was necessary since we both didn't really taste it and the filling for the deviled eggs overpowered the texture and taste of the caviar, nevertheless we both enjoyed these. We also placed in an order for the tuna tartare. This came on sticky rice and had a primary flavour of sesame. The tuna was fresh, and it was a fantastic appetizer. The only disappointment we had with this dish is it states there is pear which we did not find throughout the dish nor taste. We saw they offered caprese which was done with burrata instead of fresh mozzarella which we found worked beautifully. Served with marinated tomatoes and a lovely balsamic vinaigrette, this was very refreshing. Now onto mains, I opted in the Prime NY Strip (14oz). This was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The steak itself was tender, juicy and seasoned perfectly. For a side, I opted in for the Pommes Aligot (potato purée & alpine cheese) and this accompanied my steak perfectly. I can confidently say that this is one of the best steaks I've ever had from any restaurant. We found our server, Scott to be a pleasure. He was professional, hospitable, and made our experience that much better. Overall, this first experience at Redd Wood easily made it on my personal list of top 5 restaurants in Rochester.

For the price, we were completely underwhelmed For starters, we ordered two different cocktails. The May queen was fabulous the bebbo was tasty, but you couldn't taste any gin in it We started with the Lyonnaise salad , smoked beets, Swedish meatballs, tuna tartare and chicken wings The salad was our favorite, the tuna lacked flavor and we detected no smokiness in the beets. The meatballs were light and the sauce flavorful, would've loved a few more June berries. Chicken wings were nicely spiced and no too saucy For the main we shared 2 steak frites- a bit more well done than the medium rare ordered but tender and tasty, fries are great- bordelaise sauce didn't have the depth of flavor I expected. For dessert we shared the lemon poppyseed cake and chocolate mouse. The cake was light and Lemony with a hint of poppyseed flavor. The mousse was very odd- super pale in color and the crunchy bits on top did not pair well with the texture of the mousse Service was attentive, sometimes a bit too much- reaching across the table to fill waters... maybe leave a bottle on the table? It was a completely male staff... Male servers, male, valets, male bartenders. We did wonder where the women were.

Last time I went I enjoyed some Asian inspired noodles, succulent duck in a creamy sauce, and the best cheesy dip and biscuits! We would highly recommend the place to anyone! The location is also a perk as there is ample parking and a winery (Living Roots) and several breweries nearby!

The "Fish Sarnie" was excellent; fresh bun, tartar sauce and fresh deep fried cod. Special. The French fries were the best I have had in ages; crisp and salty, in a large pile on the plate. The "Coronation Chicken" served on naan could be eaten open face as a salad or as a sandwich, either way it was great. Great beer selection as well. That doesn't mean they have an infinite selection of beers, it means that the beer selection is well balanced and complete. Enjoy the atmosphere and food.

I've been so excited to review Cure!…read more This is one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in town and dare I say it - my favorite of the good luck family chain of restaurants I love the ambiance - unlike good look it is a bit more cozy. I love sitting at the bar, the bartenders are very fun to talk to! Let's talk drinks - so many options and the menu is so unique! they have a shaken, still, and bubbly option, something for everyone. I think some of them can be non alcoholic if you ask :) the drinks are always impressive, I've never been disappointed the food menu is perfect for sharing. It's French inspired cuisine so it is definitely meat heavy. My favorite dishes are below: the bahn mi is sooo good, the sauce is creamy and the bread from Flour city is perfectly crunchy The beef tartare is such a great portion and under 20 bucks!! Most places charge a lot more for it. If raw meat is not your thing then I'd avoid it but I'd give it a chance if you're adventurous. And finally the amazing steak - medium rare, juicy, perfectly salted. The fries are super addicting. Not dry at all. They have a good house sauce to dip it in (akin to good luck). Overall this is a AMAZING place with such an inspired drink and food menu. I'm already thinking about my next venture to Cure :)

What a great find! I was in Rochester for an art exhibition at VSW for exactly one night. My friend…read moreand I drove in from Philly, made it just in time for the exhibition and then afterwards wanted a cozy place to drink cocktails and eat delicious food. After perusing Yelp reviews, I found a cozy little place called Grace and Disgraced. It was lovely inside but learned that reservations were required. I asked the owner for a recommendation and he pointed us here. This is exactly what we were looking for! Delicious, rustic French food, beautiful cocktails and a table for two in a charming, glowy dining room. I am serious when I say the charm here is forefront. But not at all second to that charm is the food! I had the merguez sausage over root vegetable and lentils and my friend had the beef bourguignon. Both of these were stand out dishes! The melted brie with chilled potatoes to start complimented these dishes beautifully! The cocktails were so well-made and I can't tell you thankfull I am that we were directed here. It was the perfect place for us to be.
