We had a wonderful experience at Brown Hound Downtown and gladly give it 5 stars. The food was…read moreflavorful, delicious, and served in generous portions. Our server was excellent--welcoming, attentive, professional, and personable throughout the evening. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony, where the setting was calm and relaxing. It was nice being able to have conversation without hearing the noise from nearby tables. The desserts were an amazing finish to the meal. We had the cheesecake and carrot cake from Cheesy Eddie's, and both were outstanding. We will definitely return, whether for another meal or to unwind in the beautiful bar area with one of their great drinks.

We came here for their Easter brunch buffet, so I can't speak to the normal quality and service…read more The Brown Hound had one of the more affordable Easter brunches in town, and while the menu wasn't posted when I called to make reservations, it sounded good. Once they posted it, it was a little less impressive, but at that point, we were committed. I will say that it wasn't the most efficient dining experiences. They didn't have online reservations, so I did have to call in. When we arrived, about 15 minutes early, they weren't ready to check guests in, so we sat down to wait. The manager came around to ask how many were in your party, and tell you which line to use to check in - they had 2 seating areas and 2 check ins based on party size, I guess. Then we had to check in and pay, but this didn't include drinks, so we still had to pay again before we left. The buffet itself was fine, there was a barbeque station that smelled pretty good, and a breakfast station that was OK. Vegetarian options were very limited. I had homefries and some scrambled eggs, neither of which was hot when I got them. There were sugar waffles, which were really good, and some fruit, several breakfast meats (I don't eat beef or pork), and some garlic parm chicken that looked good, but was incredibly overcooked, so neither of us ate it. Barbeque was only beef or pork, so I had salad and some of the mac and cheese, which was pretty good. There were some mini desserts - OK mini cannoli's, a pretty good chocolate cake, and some carrot cake that my guy ate while I was away, so I assume was good! I believe the desserts got picked over pretty fast and were not all replaced. Condiments were in plastic squeeze bottles at the end of the buffet line, and coffee extras were all disposable as well. So, it was fine, and the guy was full and happy at the end, but I was not super impressed and ate mostly salad comprised of lettuce, cucumber, and croutons.

Back in October, while home visiting my family and friends, some friends of mine and myself went to…read morea haunted hayride in Williamson. Before we went there we went to dinner and stopped into Mama Lors Nice little restaurant. Kind of a random location too, but for some reason I liked where it was. Liked the outside of it. Reminded me of like restaurants in old ass buildings down in Staten Island. Spent a lot of time down in the city as a kid (family there) and lots of time on Staten Island. We'd always go to Italian restaurants there (even tho we are all Irish lol). This place kind of reminded me of those restaurants. I know, random thoughts to share, but that's immediately what I thought when I pulled up. It's NOT an Italian restaurant tho. It's American food. Burgers, salads, chicken dinners etc. Food was actually really good. Not too crazy overpriced like majority of restaurants these days...like ones that charge $15 for a plain waffle or something and the waffle is next level basic af. At least I'm not bitter lol But yeah, food was very good. The garlic bread...delicious. I have yet to find garlic bread tho that I don't like. Waitress was suuuuuper nice. Every employee we encountered was very nice. Place is big. Plenty of seating and you're not right on top of each other either. There is outdoor seating as well...pretty sure it was closed when we were there? Could be wrong. However, knowing what the weather right now is like back there...yeah, safe to say outdoor seating closed for the season lol. Restaurant is very clean. Nice floors lol. Random again, but I noticed that the second I walked in. I had neverrrr heard of this place until my friend suggested it. She lives in Chile so she's more familiar with the Rochester area. And Williamson, honestly, I forgot that city/town even existed lol. I didn't do any exploring there tho. The restaurant which is actually in Webster and then we headed to the hayride in Williamson...like 10 mins away. Nice place. I'd 100% go again. I'd also for sure recommend it to anyone..especially if they're looking for a nice restaurant that's not insanely expensive and has a really nice atmosphere AND is in a historic building. Ok so maybe in NY, it's not classified as a "historic building" bc most places in NY are historic. I live in Boise, Idaho tho. We have historic buildings here, but NOTHING like NY has. So when I go to an old building like this....IIIIIII classify it as a historic building haha. Thanks for reading, MamaYelperLor's!!!! Check it out! Support a local business! You'll enjoy it. If you don't...you know where to find me....right here on Yelp haha. Cheers!

I can confirm that the shrimp and grits are wonderful as well as the waffles, home fries and everything else that we have tried which is pretty much everything. My aunt raved about the catfish nuggets. Their chicken and waffles are served with wings not tenders so that is also a big hit. The shrimp and grits feature jumbo shrimp, not the small ones, and the portion is large enough for two of us to split. Our family hosted a small gathering here in the fall and we recently went back, as a couple and had an amazing experience. I had not previously heard of this restaurant prior to my niece planning and making the recommendation, but we are so happy that we did. The food is nothing short of phenomenal. Did I mention that it is flavorful and delicious? Can I elaborate on how overly nice everyone on the staff is from the owner, to the wonderful people working in the kitchen. The atmosphere is modern with great vibes. The music is loud, but lends itself to a fun vibe. The mimosas are strong and a decent pour. Lots of good things to say about Vault, but the bottom line is that it is more than worthy of a visit. I have read other reviews comment on the wait. We have never experienced a long wait times. However, the dining room is not super large, so if you go on a Saturday or Sunday maybe use common sense and know that you'll be waiting longer during peak times. We dined midweek and waited no time to sit since there weren't many people and no more than 15-20 minutes for our meal. Our server, this time, could have been a little more prompt as it took her about 15 minutes to appear from the back to take orders for my table and another one. We have parked on the street during visits. Parking is not the most ideal, but we have managed to easily find a spot. All good things have been experienced during our visits. Add this to your restaurant rotation because we certainly already have! We like it.

We made a reservation and upon arriving waited at the door in line behind 2 other people that were…read morelooking for a table. Behind us were 2 more people. The hostess talked to the people in front the of us for a good 5 minutes or so about what their options were because there wasn't a table available for them. The restaurant was full except for the one table that was probably reserved for us. The hostess never once looked at us, acknowledged our presence or said the simple words that make any customer happy, "I'll be right with you." So we walked out unhappy and went to another place in the public market that made us feel very welcome instead. It was disappointing and I won't be going back but we had a fantastic brunch somewhere else.

There's also not much of a waiting area, so you have to wait outside if it's busy. Despite being busy, our waitress was attentive as took great care of us.

First off, it's adorable. Whoever decorated definitely has an eye, it's like eating in a beautiful little indoor garden. To start, we got the egg rolls and I tried the Thai Me Up, which is like an alcohol-infused Thai Iced Tea. Yum! For my entree I got the Bò Lúc Lắc / shaking beef which was really special. The noodles were cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich and garlicky, and the beef was tender and marinated well. I could happily eat two bowlfuls. The service was great, everyone was so nice. The owner was stopping by each table to greet guests, which I thought was very thoughtful, and not something you see everyday. The place was packed and I can understand why, we'd be coming here all the time if we lived closer. Go Pho King!

I already bookmarked Pho King the night before and so I recommended that we come here. So glad we did! It is a cozy yet beautifully designed interior that is trendy and welcoming, but what truly sets this place apart is the phenomenal hospitality. The entire staff was attentive and excellent. Special shout-out goes to the Chef-owner's husband, whose warm and attentive service made our meal unforgettable. The food is absolutely spectacular! Every single dish we ordered (2 visits) were exceptional. Our first visit was for early lunch on a Saturday. We came right when they just opened around 11:30. We just wanted something light to share and "test" if we like it. The perfectly crispy fried pork egg rolls were perfectly complemented by the refreshing pickled cucumbers and nuoc mam dipping sauce. The BBQ Pork Bánh Mì, served alongside perfectly golden house-made fries was phenomenal. Per my hubs, this was the best Bánh Mì he's had, and I agree. We enjoyed our first visit so much and we decided to come back on a rainy Sunday for early dinner. We started with the calamari - lightly-breaded and was also fried to perfection--light, crispy, and delicious served with sweet chili sauce. My hubs ordered ribs - tender, beautifully charred, paired with a papaya salad and traditional sticky rice container. My dish was a standout - the Bò Lúc Lắc (Vietnamese Shaking Beef). The meat was incredibly tender, wok-tossed with onions and peppers. Dessert was unforgettable: we finished our meal with homemade Ube Tiramisu with a side of ube ice cream which was the perfect, mildly sweet end to a magnificent dinner. Pho King has instantly become one of our absolute favorite spots in Rochester. Exceptional food, beautiful atmosphere, and some of the best service you will ever find!
