Octopodi and Greek Wine!
Adam J.

Food, to die for. Service AMAZING! The owner/ head chef will come out to check on you. It's like you're in NYC fine dining with celebrities. The ambiance is incredible. If you saw what this place was before it was El Greco and what it is now you would be absolutely floored. I can't think of a better Greek restaurant ever! Go there now, you won't be upset!

Greek bites platter with chicken on the side

This location has been many things, this option is the nicest and definitely delicious. We focused more on appetizers and dips, next time will be protein because the chicken we did try was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Wine and beer are your options. The service was attentive. We were the only ones early in the night but it picked up as we were getting ready to leave.

Our family was visiting Rochester from out of town to celebrate our son's college graduation. We…read morebooked the private room at Avvino (Meyer's Den), which turned out to be a great choice. While planning our dinner party months in advance, the communication from Janine was excellent. She helped us develop a 4-course menu that was sure to have something for everyone, including vegan and allergy friendly options. Amy was our server for the evening, and she ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening. The chairs in the Meyer's Den are wide and comfortable, the decor is dark and classy, and being in the basement away from the dining room made it very quiet and easy to converse with family. The room is rather spacious for 12 guests, but could also accommodate a few more people without feeling cramped. Out of the appetizers we selected, the Charred Octopus was very popular and everyone enjoyed it...even those that had never previously eaten octopus. The baby cauliflower dish was also a beautiful presentation, and quite large and enjoyable. The salads, particularly the Charred Hurricane salad, were nice light courses before the entree was served. As for the entrees, the filet mignon was a little on the dry side, but we really enjoyed the light and crispy spinach fritters that accompanied the beef. The salmon was a generous portion of medium rare fish, and there was lot going on with that dish - spicy cauliflower and za'atar potatoes that had some mixed reviews. Folks who ordered the duck breast seemed to enjoy the complex preparation, which had asparagus, green beans, and two pureed sauces - cauliflower ginger and cherry-rhubarb. The doughnut bread pudding with apple pieces and vanilla ice cream was a delicious, decadent way to end the meal. We left rather stuffed, and delighted with the overall experience that allowed our family to celebrate together.

I'd say I had a good experience dining here. It was my birthday and I went in with a few friends…read more We were promptly attended to. I ordered a mocktail to start off and it was pretty good. For appetizers, we got the roasted beets and the bone marrow. Both were good. I got the duck breast for entree and my friends got the carrot cavatelli and lobster bucatini. We all enjoyed our dishes. The duck was succulent and roasted just enough. The Brussel sprouts that came on the side were a disappointment though. For dessert, I ordered ricotta pine nut tart with lemon sorbet. The tart was very subtle in flavor but good. My friends ordered the bread pudding which was great as well. Overall, very satisfied with the food and service. Can be back!

We thought this was the same owner as the one on the river that offers a 10% discount to Fisher…read morefamilies. Came to find out they are no longer associated. Our waiter gave us a very strange reaction when we mentioned being from Fisher saying he'd never heard of such a thing but did pass the message on and we were granted the courtesy this time since we didn't know which we appreciated. Had a reservation and were asked to sit for a few minutes, not sure why but it seemed they were keeping the one area of the dining room from getting too spread out. The table of 4 was set for 3 and I preferred the empty seat and thus had to rearrange my place setting with the hostess quickly gone and the water girl uninterested in assisting. Waiter was nice enough, the food was good. There was a singer closer to the bar area that we couldn't hear all that well. Honestly far prefer the River location for both ambience and food so not sure if we'll return.

Had to say the food is 5 star !!! As you can see from the photo, they are all very delicious. We…read morecame here to celebrate a big milestone however it did put a damper on it when the tacky hostess greeted us with attitude. We told her we have a reservation, she looked dissatisfied that whoever booked our reservation told her to just put us anywhere. She started walking away with the menus not saying anything, had to ask her if we have to follow her? Unsure with the attitude but right out of bat she didn't made us feel welcome. The restaurant itself was nice, the outdoor patio is just beautiful with that waterfall background sound and wonderful flowers around.
