    This is one of our new (to us) favorite spots to go to and to bring our friends and family to that…read morehaven't tried it yet! Our first visit was in January and we've been back 2 more times already. The main dining room is down stairs. The bar area upstairs seems very lively and inviting as well, and I've heard there's patio seating we want to try in the late spring. Service was excellent and very attentive. We loved everything we tried. You can do things traditional tapas style or you can go the appetizer and entree route. We had the calamari to start and some cocktails. For our entrees we each ordered the "feature" of the evening -- my fiance got the steak and I got the salmon. My fiance is pretty 50/50 on how good his steak experiences are in restaurants and he was very satisfied with the entree he had. My salmon cakes were SO good, everything tasted very fresh. The server also did a great job recommending a white wine to pair with my meal. We finished off with our dessert, I had the flourless chocolate torte and my fiance had (I can't recall exactly) a banana cream cheese churro I think? The desserts were amazing every time we've gone. We've had more chances to try other tapas items, the arancini is delicious as well. Also of note was that we had a good group dining experience here in February for a family members birthday. Overall if you haven't tried this spot make sure you do!

    We decided to check out Tapas 177 during Restaurant Week in Rochester. The food was very tasty…read more Started with a perfect mojito, enjoyed the fried calamari salad, followed by the tuna bowl and chocolate torte. I throughly enjoyed the salad - crisp greens, perfect dressing and hot, crispy calamari. The tuna bowl followed - flavor was spot on, but the tuna itself was disappointing - tasted thawed and texture was meh. The biggest disappointment with Tapas was just the location itself being down in a dark basement - not my favorite environment. Would try again when the weather is nice and their patio is open. Server was very nice!

This is the second location for 809- I understand that they have a long time place on Lyell Ave. The service was great- our waiter Gabriel was very attentive. Another waitress and the hostess also stopped by to check in on us. The wife had the signature Mojito (which I tried and it was excellent) and I had a Mojito Especial with lime. They bring out their "house appetizer" which was a warm load I homemade bread and a balsamic dip. Very good! Both our dinners were excellent- mine was a Chicken Fried rice with steak and shrimp - it is a massive mound and I ate about half of it (that's lunch for tomorrow). Lots of shrimp and steak in there. And very flavorful. This is the first review and I am giving it 5 stars - I recommend checking out this different style restaurant - we will be back!

We were constantly ignored by the workers and it took forever for anything to get done, I ask for a drink... I wouldn't get it until well after my food came out when I ordered it before I ordered the food. Again..we were still waiting for a table and didn't get one, we had to eat our food at the bar, the food didn't come out until 2 hours of us waiting, they didn't even have a bathroom, the food was good but for the experience, super would never ever recommend this place. The ambiance was alright but I never got to see much because I never got a table.

    Bitter Honey delivers a vibrant, Mexican-inspired dining experience tucked inside a warehouse-style…read morespace near the Rochester Public Market. The interior leans moody with dim lighting and dark walls, balanced by bold, eye-catching murals. The bar lighting in particular makes it an inviting spot to gather and sets a great tone. We were warmly greeted by Tim upon arrival, who quickly showed us to our table with a few minutes to settle in and look over the menu. Our server, Begum, was friendly, attentive, and fully on board celebrating our 256th Taco Tuesday anniversary, which definitely added to the festivities of the night! We started with a chips + dips flight paired with margaritas. The chips came out hot and perfectly crisp. The standout was the queso with its rich, smoky flavor, and absolutely the one we kept going back to. The guacamole was decent, though we personally prefer a brighter profile with more lime, cilantro, and seasoning. The salsa brought some heat but landed somewhere in the middle overall. Taco Tuesday here is a solid deal at $4 per taco, and the variety made it easy to try several different options. Highlights and lowlights: The camaron (grilled blackened shrimp) taco was a bit underwhelming in flavor. The batatas (fried sweet potato) taco leaned sweet and savory and helped redeem things slightly. The clear winner, though, was the Ojai taco (agave lime fried Brussels sprouts) with jalapeño crema which absolutely delivered on flavor. I am thrilled when I find a new taco that surprises and intrigues me with flavor! From the other side of the table: the Josh Allen taco was declared "fire," though a meatier cut of chicken would have balanced out the heavier breading. The Baja fish taco was solid but not standout, and the carne asada was a bit too chewy. Our meal was rounded out with complimentary churros which was a real bonus for dessert. Don't skip out on this sweet treat. What really stood out was the overall vibe. The staff (including Bailey and Jackie) made it feel like more than just dinner. It was energetic, robust, and joyful experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back for another Taco Tuesday... or maybe to see what the Cinco de Mayo hype is all about.

    I absolutely hate to do this and i'm a server myself, but if i could push zero stars i would…read more Honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We came in as a party of 5 with a reservation and were seated right away by the host, which was unfortunately the only smooth part of the night. We ordered drinks first, then nachos for the table. We completely finished the entire appetizer before our drinks ever arrived. When our server (black hair, tattoos) finally came over with drinks, they weren't even ours -- she brought another table's order. Meanwhile, she spent most of the night standing around chatting at the bar while the host was the one who eventually brought us our actual drinks. After finally getting drinks, we sat there forever waiting for someone to take our food order. We were genuinely about to get up and ask when she finally walked over and asked if we "needed more time with the menu." It honestly felt like a joke at that point. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, but not from our server of course. Most dishes were okay, but the carne asada was unbelievably chewy and the shrimp tasted burnt to a crisp. She never checked on our table once. I literally had to move empty plates to the edge of the table so they'd get picked up. Then the second the last person at the table put his fork down for a moment, she immediately asked if he was done so she could clear the plate. Right after that she said do u have room for dessert and we said no and she left and directly came back dropped the check. The bill was around $140, and instead of cashing us out, she spent another 15+ minutes hanging around the bar talking with a coworker and then the bartender behind the bar while one on their phone. I finally had to walk up and ask her to cash us out myself. Suddenly once the tip slip came out, her entire attitude changed to "thank you guys so much, hope everything was amazing!" I work in fine dining under a Michelin-star chef, and service like this would get someone fired immediately. I understand delays happen, especially with a bar, but the complete lack of communication, wrong drinks, disappearing server, and careless attitude made this experience absolutely awful. Half the restaurant was empty, so there really was no excuse. Tipped $20 which is the lowest i've EVER tipped but literally was so confused what we were tipping for. I'd rather of given that $20 to a millionaire that doesn't need it than her.

    Apogee is a fantastic gem of a place in a quiet spot on Park Ave, far from the crowds and traffic…read moreand heavily perfumed masses. It feels like a hidden locals-only joint where you can grab a glass of your fave from a thoughtfully curated list of delicious options, and settle in with your better half, besties or a group of friends and just chill. We've been to Apogee a number of times before and 'after' covid, in colder months when we've been lucky to snag a window table, and in warmer times, like tonight, when we can sit outside and enjoy the flickering fireflies along with our sparkling rosè. Besides the pleasant atmosphere, Apogee has a beautifully appointed interior space, clean bathrooms, and a menu with cheese plates, cake, and more wines than you could taste in a summer. All of that plus super knowledgable 'bar tenders' (more like wine sommeliers) who can take your possibly clumsy description of what you think you want and offer up several perfect options, and you have the makings of a very pleasant evening. Book mark this place and plan to spend at least an hour enjoying an outside table!

    Apogee was our baby shower venue. While people don't normally associate wine bar with baby shower,…read morewe made it work and Apogee was the perfect venue that met all of our needs. As a special events venue, Apogee was flexible with outside food and also with decorations. There was no additional venue rental/site fee, just a minimum spend amount (which we were confident that we would exceed). The venue is cozy and intimate, but has high ceilings so it did not feel claustrophobic at all, even with 30+ guests at one point. I'm a wine snob myself, so I was a bit skeptical initially when I saw their wine list. Most of the wines they serve retail for $10-20. They do have some bottles that are more expensive (retail ~$30). However, after tasting some of their entry level wines (Ancient Peaks Zinfandel & Gouguenheim Malbec), my worries vanished. Everything I tasted was excellent and drank better than their actual price point. Steve was a great host. He was laid back, but still friendly and attentive to all of our guests. He made sure everybody's drink needs were satisfied. He was also flexible with letting us in the venue early to set up and also staying late to clean up. I also liked the fact that they allowed us to bring our own wine, for a $15 per bottle corkage fee, which is fair. Anyways, Apogee is a great venue for a small party. They are flexible and reasonable. I would definitely recommend them as a wine bar and for hosting a private event (especially on a Sunday).
