My wife got a French dip ( wasn't on the menu- but suggested by Kenny) was amazing. I had the hot Italian sandwich-YumO. The whole menu is house made and offers too many options for one meal.. ( I know we will be back). We ended up sitting outside and enjoyed being in downtown Fairport on a great night. The bar was hopping and had mixture of regulars and Friends.. the Fairport Village Inn is a place not to miss!!

Friends from Albany recommended The Daily Refresher as a cocktail bar to visit, and I'm glad we…read morefollowed up on their suggestion. The bar has what I look for - interesting crafted cocktails (including specials), a good liquor selection, and fun people behind the bar with whom to engage. I can understand why my friends liked the place. We did have some food here, but I'm more enamored with the drinks. We ordered hummus, which was supposed to come with bread (they say naan, I think it was pita, but that's fine) and veggies. It did come out with the bread. When we asked about the veggies, we were given 2 different answers by 2 different people. One implied folks didn't always want them, another said the chef forgot and apologized. The hummus had an unexpected flavor, and when I checked the fine print on the menu it says, "chefs choice flavor." We didn't order anything else here, but we saw several orders of wings go by, and they looked really good too. On a Saturday afternoon, get here early, because if can fill up quickly.

I was in Rochester from out of town and wanted to find a place to watch the Sabres game. This bar…read morecame across my radar and when I asked around it came across highly recommended. It was NOT a disappointment. It's crazy I lived in Rochester for 18 1/2 years and never heard of it before and that was my loss. The atmosphere, the energy, the community in this bar was outstanding. They have a great selection of beers on tap. I started with The Kind but when I saw they had Mass Riot from Prison City I quickly moved to that. Didn't think I was going to eat but the food smelled so good I had to order. SO many things looked great on the menu it was so tough to choose. Ended up getting hot Buffalo Wings and the Pot Roast Grilled Cheese. The wings were good. A little sweet which is not my jam for Buffalo Wings but they still were good quality. The Pot Roast Grilled Cheese was absolutely freekin outstanding. Shamrock Jacks is now on my must visit every time I come back to Rochester.

After going to Erie Grill for breakfast (after colonoscopy) I couldn't wait to try it for dinner…read more Breakfast was great! Homemade hash, local sausage, nice home fries a very hearty meal! I decided we should go for Valentine's Day! So here we are a group of 4, on Valentine's Day . Reservation was for 6 however our show ended early so we came around 5:30. Restaurant was empty except for a few people at the bar. Host was less than happy about us coming in early. We had no problem waiting. He reluctantly seats us. The waitress comes out rolls her eyes and then gives a fake smile. Maybe because our skin is brown but our money is green. Now to the food! Awful and severely over priced! We have been too many expensive restaurants that can walk the walk. Erie Grill can't even crawl. Caesar salad $25 (serves one, not an entree), chicken lollipops $16 end up being two chicken legs. The others ordered wagu meatloaf. It definitely tasted frozen. I order tuna tartar wontons (Nosh's Ahi tuna wontons would murder these) and a bowl of jambalaya (meh). It has definitely taken me one month to get over this experience. Nice hotel well that's all I can say! PS. Manager seemed to be "taste testing" booze in the back. Unprofessional!

Service was good, and the place was filled with locals.

Bar Bantam has quickly become one of my favorite neighborhood spots. I love that it's located right…read morein the building I live in, making it the perfect place to grab a drink or meet up with friends without having to go far. The food is consistently delicious. 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!
