First place I gp when visiting Rochester- the BEST Artichoke French…read more Our Server, Cheryl is always great.

We came here for dinner and had a nice time. I had never heard of Chicken French before and learned…read moreit's a local dish that a lot of people enjoy, which meant I naturally had to order it for my entree -- it was very tasty, kind of like a chicken piccata with a lemony butter sauce. The caesar salad that accompanied it was also yummy, the croutons were crispy and the veggies were fresh. They have a nice wine list too. Just a note, you probably don't want to come here for conversation or if people in your party have hearing issues -- we sat in the patio room and it was so incredibly loud, we couldn't hear a thing. The front room/bar area was also very noisy.

My pretzels were burnt. The quesadilla was good. Their version of the garbage plate was too hot and the macaroni salad was the wrong kind. Our beer orders were mixed up. The service was good besides the beer mixup.

They have daily specials (look above the mirror wall to find out what they are) The staff is super friendly, personable and always want to provide you with the best service they possibly can. It's a small sports bar with a generally older crowd of locals (40+) who are always super friendly and welcoming. The drinks are always great here and you really cant go wrong. If you do happen to have an issue with something, JUST POLITELY SAY SOMETHING!!! They have no problems with fixing any problems and the owner wants to know whats wrong because they will address the staff to make sure it doesn't happen again to provide a better experience for all the other patrons. They actually do care about you here!

Super friendly staff, our bartender, Jenna, was really nice, attentive. It's a good old pub, but…read moreupdated nicely- clean, fresh paint, tin ceiling. The food was excellent. Get the French onion soup. They make it with a grilled goat cheese sandwich instead of the standard croutons. And the cheese is super thick and rich and the broth was delicious. Will 100% get this again. The haddock fish fry was good, crispy but thinner parts of the fish were a little dry. The beef on weck was awesome. Very tender sliced beef, soft roll with lots of salt and caraway. Horseradish sauce was creamy and just hot enough to add some kick. Au Jus on the side so the roll didn't sog out. VERY good.

The staff is fun and helpful, the menu is solid, and the burgers are stellar. If you're sharing, they'll even offer to cut the burger for you which is such a thoughtful touch, because doing it yourself can quickly turn into a big ole mess! They have a great selection of beers on tap and bottled, plus cocktails and other drinks. The customers are characters in the best way, which just adds to the charm. It's also a little bigger inside than I thought. I'll definitely be back. Street parking is available.

One of the best outdoor places in Rochester. Beautiful inside and out. We will definitely be coming…read moreback just for that. Good was good. Pizza was great. The margarita needed a little more cheese. But if do that again. Artichoke pizza was lovely. Beer was amazing. Although i do not love sours i appreciate the creativity. Fun beers (lots of double ipas). Parking could be better but nothing can be done on that. The location was not what we were expecting at all. Sorry no pictures. We really just edited the experience.

As an IPA guy I was very psyched they had four new IPAs on tap and available to go. I made my standard order of Hot Buffalo Wings and a Pizza. Their wings are one of the two best in Rochester. Orders the Zeus Hot Homey pizza which was amazing. I live in NYC which has the best pizza in the US but the only place you can get Cup & Char. Such a shame NYC hasn't discovered this treasure.

I've been to The Dakota three times now, and the experience has been pretty consistent each visit…read more The food is very good, I genuinely have no complaints there and have enjoyed everything I've ordered. 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

We found a table as the bar was crowded as people watched the World Cup games. Ben took great care of us - drinks, water, food - all while managing the bar area too. No steps to get in, the 2 bathrooms are unisex, and there is a pool table! Lots of seating too - great for groups. My burger and sweet potato fries were perfect. Hubby enjoyed his chicken sandwich and regular fries. No time for dessert this visit. We'll be back soon.

We didn't end up looking for somewhere to have dinner on Easter Sunday until almost 8 PM (yeah, I…read moreknow, poor planning on our part), so a lot of places were closed both as it was late on Sunday and late on a holiday.... After a couple of false starts, we ended up at the Tryon Tavern, and the kitchen was still open as well. The bartender was friendly, and we had drinks right away, a cider for me and a Genessee for the guy. Drinks were cold and I liked the cider I was served, so everyone was happy. They have a moderate sized food menu. The guy ordered wings with a spicy Korean barbeque. He didn't say much, but he was busy eating, so I assume they were good! We shared some mozzarella sticks, which were also solid - not home made, I don't think, but hot and melty, so, again, everybody was happy. I saw that you could get any burger made with either chicken or a veggie patty for no extra charge (yay!), so had the Late Riser with a veggie patty. Again, I'm pretty sure it was a Morning Star spicy black bean patty, but I like those, and it tasted great with eggs, guacamole, cheese, and chipotle mayo. There was a little spice from the mayo and the bean burger. I really liked it. The "side" of garlic parm fries was huge! They had a good ratio of topping to fries. Getting our food took a bit longer than expected, but we assumed that since it was late on a holiday, there were probably not many people working that night. All in all, a pretty good experience.

Excellent Food Service was good she took my drink away it…read morewas Grey Goose on the rocks and she thought it was gone when actually it still had some flavor in it! Dessert a Cheesy Eddies cheese cake was very over priced they need to get a different vender it was so small for $9 was way disappointing!! Can't say much about the ambiance .......love the decor and it could be a great ambiance if they could float some sound absorbers, that would b awesome! I would go back again for sure! I would recommend the short ribs, cooked to perfection and not a piece of fat at all, the Demi glaze was excellent, real mashed potatoes and I would add a little more garlic for my taste to the fresh green beans but they were fresh and very good! The dessert was good but not worth the price needs to b a bigger piece or get new venders ! My husband recommends the the fish fry biggest fish we ever saw actually had fish inside the tail cooked to perfection! I would give this place 4.5 stars

They do pizza really well, but they also have a smoker and many smokehouse items are on the menu. Large portions, friendly, and lively service, and a great bar, at prices that are sane.
