My favorites are the Parmesan fries, which are crispy, cheesy, and completely addictive, and the Berry Summer Salad, which is fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, whether you're stopping in for happy hour, appetizers, or just a casual night out. The drinks are great, the service is friendly, and it's the kind of place that's easy to keep coming back to. If you're in Rochester and looking for a great spot for cocktails, shareable appetizers, or a light meal, Bar Bantam is definitely worth checking out. I'll happily be back again and again!

This place is 100% worth a try if you want something fun, different and flavorful. Definitely recommend.

Two stars, and that feels generous…read more My wife and I recently visited Bonnie and Clyde in Fairport as part of a group of eight, and we left disappointed. At $117 for the two of us, including tax and tip, we expected a lot more than we got. Let's start with the positives. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The building itself is a converted bank, and the old vault is a striking architectural feature, though we didn't dine in it. The restaurant also deserves credit for offering some vegan options, including one vegan entrée. That said, the issues outweighed the highlights considerably. The noise level was genuinely awful. We were at a table of eight and had trouble hearing each other. The space felt sparse and cold, not in a minimalist-chic way, but in an unfinished way. The whole "Bonnie and Clyde" theme has such strong possibilities it's a shame they didn't pursue them. The food was mediocre and overpriced. I ordered two vegan sides instead of an entrée: French fries and a roasted beet salad. I asked the waiter to prepare the fries vegan-style with just ketchup, but they arrived with two sides of non-vegan aioli anyway. The fries themselves were average. The beet salad was fine but small and forgettable. My wife ordered the king trumpet mushrooms, the only vegan entrée on the menu. The mushrooms were decent, nothing more. Her cocktail special, a kiwi and vodka drink, was watery and bland. A few other frustrations: the vegan items are not labeled as such on the menu, which is an easy fix that would doubtless help many diners. There is only one vegan entrée, which feels thin. And Lagunitas non-alcoholic beer is available, but you would never know it, since it does not appear on the drinks menu. We will not be returning.

Quick service, drinks, and food. Now for the food. The salmon was done perfectly and she made sure to ask me exactly how I wanted it done. The salad was good, delicious Asian teriyaki dressing. The steak was virtually uneatable. Tough, and chewy. Had to discard almost all of it, discretely, since we were with another couple. Hence we never told our waitress. Great beer, cocktails & wine selection. I had the red cab Ross and it was very nice. I will try this place again. Love the location so many quaint shops are g and beautiful to walk around the canal.

I was a guest at the hotel and decided to book the char after a long day. I had 7:45 reservation…read more We were not seated until 8pm, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. We came here as a graduation dinner (I recently graduated from law school) so it was supposed to be a celebration. We were greeted by Laura (whose role was to do waters) and Laura was the best part of our night. Our server Desiree took our orders and we thought it was going to be good experience, but was surprised when we didn't hear much from her (I'm not sure if her section was too big but I saw her most of the time at the bar). It took over an hour to get our entrees and when we didn't get them, they were not great. The steak was undercooked, the salmon was also undercooked, the mushrooms were over cooked and I never received my soda. When we escalated that it was a poor experience, Desiree just asked us if we wanted them to cook it more, but we were starving by that point and she didn't so much as apologize. Then someone else came (didn't catch her name) and she offered to take only the items we hadn't touched off the bill. They offered dessert but we told them no because we have to get up early for graduation. They sent us home with some anyway. Needless to say, would not recommend and won't be back.

In the evenings, it gets pretty loud, particularly for a hotel restaurant at that price point. The bartenders are always friendly and the vibe down here is fun. It's a nice place to grab a well crafted cocktail. I like the Smoke and Spice, a slightly sweet whiskey based drink. We both enjoyed our breakfast as well. The service in the morning was a little slow, but still attentive. Again, the menu is fairly small, so I had a bagel, eggs, and fruit from the ala carte menu. Nothing overly exciting, but not bad!

Last night we celebrated my son's 19th birthday, and somehow this place managed to outdo both of…read moreour already sky-high expectations. From the moment we sat down at a high-top along the bar (10/10 decision upon making the reservation), everything just clicked: warm ambiance, buzzing energy, and service that was genuinely friendly without feeling scripted or rushed. The staff made us feel like they were happy we were there--not just doing their jobs. Now let's talk food, because wow. We kicked things off with the Wagyu tartare (luxurious, balanced, melt-in-your-mouth) and duck croquettes (crispy and well balanced). For mains, my son went with the 24 oz prime bone-in ribeye, and I ordered the 14 oz New York strip--both cooked exactly how steak should be cooked. Perfect temperature, beautiful sear, deeply flavorful. Sides were shared and spectacular: roasted thyme mushrooms, potatoes au gratin, and creamed spinach--which may very well be the best on the planet (I will die on this hill). In the spirit of full honesty, when we come back (and we absolutely will), the two items we'd rotate out just to try something new would be the duck croquettes and the potatoes au gratin. Both were very good, but everything else we ordered--and clearly much of what's still on the menu--has an even higher ceiling of potential, and we're eager to explore it. Dessert sealed the deal. My son demolished a crème brûlée with appropriate birthday enthusiasm, while I tackled the caramel carrot cake, which was decadent in all the right ways and not overly sweet. In short: food, service, and ambiance all exceeded expectations--by a lot. If you've never been here: go. If you go occasionally: go more often. This wasn't just dinner--it was a celebration done right. We'll absolutely be back. Note: while their classic steakhouse menu, with some pizzazz, is perfect... My only want for this place would be for another appetizer selection or two that does not contain any sort of fish/seafood as we have family members with sensitivity - and we were hesitant to order the famous house made chicken nuggets with caviar as we are still finding out the range of foods we need to steer away from.

I ordered the fresh cut for my cocktail and the steak frites for my entree. While I waited for my entree, I was served a complimentary roll. It was soft and pillowy.

Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience at Patron Saint and look forward to visiting again to try some other items on the menu. They also offer complimentary valet parking, which was convenient.

The prices are reasonable for what you get, which is definitely a plus. That said, the atmosphere can be a bit loud since the bar is right next to the dining area. It gives more of a lively, social vibe than an intimate one. I also noticed that the staff can come across as having a bit of an attitude both toward customers and sometimes with each other. I wouldn't take it personally, it just seems to be the overall tone there. I would highly recommend it for a fun night out with friends girls' night, boys' night, casual group dinner. But it's not the place I'd choose for a romantic dinner, and if top-tier customer service is a must for you, this may not be your favorite spot. Overall: great food, fair prices, fun vibe just go in knowing what to expect.

Always great food and friendly staff. Bartenders will make you any drink you ask for.read more
