My wife and I joined the Valley Club recently to expand our social network and also for our small…read morechildren to participate in more activities. So far we like what the club has to offer. Our 3 year old has picked up some tennis lessons and we have attended a few brunches (Santa) and happy hours. I foresee us using the Club to entertain out-of-towners and for dinner on special occasions. I will all try to pick up paddle or pickleball at some point. I imagine it's also a good place to network for business (not for me) and to meet people you wouldn't necessarily meet in your existing network.

The most phenomenal dinner/experience for my 35th birthday this past Saturday 1/14. The reciprocal…read moredining was unmatched. Everything was more delicious than the next. I had the Caesar salad to start followed by the shrimp and scallops scampi. Fresh hot rolls were served up as well. Drinks were a plenty and the night was spectacular. It definitely made this birthday super special and one to remember for a long time to come. The birthday cake with the fresh raspberries was the finishing touch. It was easily the best cake I have ever had.

We went here for the first time to see "Nunsense!"…read more This is a beautiful old mansion in the city. Parking is either street parking or we opted for the $5 valet. Totally worth it! They have the show in a big room off to the side. It only seats about 80 people or so. Very intimate setting but comfortable. There's a coat "room" so no need to hang your coat on your chair. They also offer a free glass of champagne with a VIP ticket purchase, but a cash bar is also available. Pleasantly surprised and had a great time at the show. Will definitely go back.

I was here for a recent community update by the children's Institute. I think it's actually home to a women's social club? They've recently started using the space for local theater productions. The building is really beautiful and I'm interested to see how they do different things given how the space is broken up. Parking is always a pain in this part of town but there's a medium sized lot behind the Strathallan across the street.

Missing Lux at 8:42am on a Tuesday morning, and writing this review to ease the pain! I haven't…read morebeen to Lux since the pandemic started, and honestly don't think I had been at all this year prior to that either. Which is a SHAME, because Lux is a special place. Where else can you eat midnight bagels to accompany your vodka soda? Where else can you get overly frustrated at the "get the circle onto the post" game outside? The answer is NOWHERE. Lux has a special vibe about it that is welcoming, inclusive, divey and strange all at the same time. The South Wedge location is perfect and there's usually ample street parking if you're DD-ing or planning to leave your car. I can't wait to get back here post-pandemic and enjoy a game with friends and a seat out on the patio.

Calvin has local interns from the Rochester Works program a d exhibits local artists weekly. This was a very friendly place to go. Rebecca the Cheese monger, from Hart's grocery, served NY State cheeses and local craft beer and made everybody feel educated on how fun it can be to serve cheese, on boards with dried or fresh fruit charcuterie, nuts and more alongside adult beverages for appetizers or as part of a cheese course. There were a wide range of people in attendance. I love seeing locals come back to the Rochester area and renovate historical properties and rebuild areas that have been part of Rochester's unique history. I wish parking was a bit better, but if you are lucky you can catch a spot on Main street or one of the side roads. Fun times. I wish I could do half points as this would get a 4.5 as a fun place to put together a small gathering near the Susan B. Anthony house.
