Despite that I keep thinking about what I want to try next time I go. The atmosphere, scale and feel of the dining room is fantastic. It sort of feels like a Rochester version of Cheers. I love that they had all the doors open and the beautiful summer evening climate was enjoyable whether you sat inside or outside. This meant dealing with a few gnats or flies at our indoor table. I started with a Caesar side salad which was very good. The entrees we had were Salmon and Chicken Riggies. The Chicken RIggies were great. Not spicy at all but made-to-order so it could be made spicy. The pasta was perfectly tender but firm, the diced chicken was flavorful and easy to eat. It was THE most successful Chicken Riggie dish I've tried to date anywhere and I took the leftovers home to enjoy for lunch the next day, a rarity for me. The salmon was not a hit. It seemed pretty fishy especially in the areas that were thinner and had become chewier from the grill drying it out. What they call roasted corn is really 'chili powder roasted corn'. The chili powder flavor was quite pronounced and not very well integrated into the dish. It tasted like very ordinary corn with very ordinary chili powder sprinkled on it. I'm sure that isn't how the dish is made but that's what it tasted like. The Cheesy Eddie's carrot cake was absolutely perfect and tasted like it was just made. It's hard to defend the pricing. Our 2 entrees, 1 side salad, 1 soft drink and 2 small glasses of wine and 1 piece of carrot cake ended up being 145 dollars after tax and tip. If the wine pour had been a nice 9 ounce pour I would have had a single glass but I had 2 because they were small. Even with 1 wine this was going to be WELL over 100 dollars for 2 people even before tip. In any head-to-head comparison with something like The Distillery or Genesee Brew House, this pricing is probably out of line. If we go back, it will be with great appreciation for the setting and modest expectations for the food.

First time visiting this restaurant and I'm a little surprised it's not rated higher. Making…read morereservations for 1pm on Mother's Day, we were immediately greeted. Requesting if the outdoor seating is available, the staff happily obliged. We started with a few appetizers which include their lobster bisque, potato skins and crab cakes. The lobster bisque was fantastic, and I was pleasantly surprised to see chunks of lobster meat throughout the soup. The crab cakes were packed with crab and had a crispy exterior and tender interior. Although I personally prefer my crab cakes pan-fried and these were deep fried, I actually found them very enjoyable. As for the potato skins, these were pretty standard and nothing to write home about. For mains, I opted in for one of their Mother's Day specials which was their prime rib. I found this to be incredibly tender. I did however find this to be under-seasoned and 30% of the prime rib to be pure fat, but nevertheless this was tasty. For dessert, I opted in for their vanilla creme brulee which was tasty. The consistency of the custard, I found to not be as smooth as I'm used to, but again nevertheless it was tasty. I have to point out the service and hospitality from Audrey (our Server), and Declan (helper) was impeccable. Audrey was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Both constantly checked up on us and made our experience even better. The atmosphere, along with the great food, and along with the great service, we'll definitely be back.

I can't wait for them to do their chicken pot pies again! Those are so insanely good. Best service, best small-town feel, and best food in the area. Original: I ran across a recommendation for North 2 South Café in a Facebook group for Rochester foodies. my best friend and I decided to try it out for breakfast before a day of Christmas shopping. WOW! I am so glad we decided to try this place! The food was INCREDIBLE! My friend got the scrambled bowl, and I got the breakfast quesadilla. the grit cake was life-changing. And unlike a lot of places, North 2 South does NOT skimp on the bacon (and the bacon is amazing). Lucy is AMAZING too. Everything about this place is excellent. We can't wait to go back to try more of the menu, especially the dinners!

It was a busy Friday night but they took a reservation on the phone and had a table for us. It was a pretty crowded bar area where our table was- but that's kind of what you expect there! My wife ordered the standard Buffalo wings- despite a full page of wing flavor options. We saw some friends there and they highly recommended the Harbor wings- with a dry rub, or some wings that had a coffee rub on them! I got the Cajun shrimp Po-boy sandwich- a huge roll with Cajun spiced shrimp and crispy lettuce. I didn't finish all that bread but I did polish off the shrimp! We both rated the food and experience at a 4 out of 5. The wings were very good- but since we have been told that these are the best wings in town- my wife didn't think they deserved quite that high of a rating. It was a good experience overall- we will be back and maybe I will try one of those exotic wing flavors like blueberry!

A friend suggested this place recently, and I'd never heard of it…read more Pulled up to what looked like a former warehouse, and was skeptical. The interior was interesting, and the place was packed despite being pretty big - usually a good sign. Looked like most people were munching on fish fries, and they looked intriguing, so I rolled with that. Wow, was I NOT disappointed. When I say this, I don't say it lightly. This was easily in the top 3 best fish fries that I've ever had. Maybe even top 2. Cooked to perfection, excellent batter crunch, light and fluffy inside. It was delicious even without the tartar sauce - and that tartar sauce was also one of the best I've ever had. I even asked for a side to bring home. The salad it came with was super basic, but the blue cheese it came with was on another level. The side of garlic mashed potatoes was the lone bleak spot of the meal - it left a lot to be desired, and I'm not a fan of the skins in my mashed potatoes. I will be thinking about this fish fry in my dreams, and will definitely be back for another!

It's a little Neighborhood Place you can come alone and feel welcome and safe. It's a place where if you come to eat good bar food, you're in the right place. It's a place that if you come to meet new people and enjoy st that kind of a bar. It also has a patio, and if you are or know native Rochesterians, we LOVE dining al fresco, since we only get like 10 days of sun a year (okay, actually it's 165 , but we're not exactly overrun with sun). The first time here, I install myself on a bar stool and immediately greeted by and waited on by Todd (one of the owners). I asked for an Ice Pic, which no bartender in Rochester has ever even heard of. So I figured it must be a Pittsburgh thing. He made it, and immediately offered to make me something else if I didn't like it. It was a little heavy on the lemon (pucker worthy). He happily subbed a White Claw. They have black cherry and mango. I had one of each, and preferred the mango. It's served in a can, so I asked for a glass of ice. Very refreshing. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a wing girl through and through. I ordered wings, half medium buff and half garlic parm. Both were very good and mostly drums. Todd was attentive, fun and friendly. Very chill dude. The customers, obviously locals, were very friendly. The second time I was here, Ashley, the bartender, suggested a Deep Eddy. Refreshingly alcoholic. I had fried mushrooms. They come in a little metal bucket; at least 10 to 12 tender, plump, perfectly fried mushrooms. There was a tiny bit of water inside, which is to be expected and it didn't at all ruin the mushrooms. They're served with blue cheese. Honestly, they were so good, they didn't need dressing. I have two suggestions. One, they provide some sort of shade for the patio. The tables and chairs, which are metal, are in the sun (a couple tables have umbrellas). I think a big canopy over the patio would do the trick. Second, use a bit more light. It's a but dark. I fiddled with all the settings on my camera, and still could not get decent interior shots. I think it's much better with the blinds open, but at night...hmmm. To be fair, I've never been here past 7 p.m. I know...atmosphere. And I'm a total cornball when it comes to (love and) romance. But this isn't designed for that. It's a neighborhood bar with good food, friendly folk and a chill, fun vibe. And you can't improve that.
