    The ambience is unparalleled with soaring ceilings and exceptionally clean airy faces complemented by warm velvet orange booth seating and almost retro Green and wood with a blue bar area. The melange of cuisines is harmonized beautifully. Shashuka was not typical -- the eggs were cooked into the tomatoes -- but delicious. The Sujuk Benedict was done very well with the spicy beef sausages complementing the hollandaise sauce and poached eggs. Sherwan was an excellent server and Fatima created an immediate welcome with hospitality that exceeded expectations.

    Inside the restaurant

    This review is for the breakfast portion of Lumi. The place is one of the most beautiful interiors in Rochester. The food was delectable. The crepe had a wonderful blend of textures and flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed the Benedict. The only downside was the lackluster side salad. Service was a nice enough to take a few photos of my wife and I. Overall, I would rate this place a delightful place for breakfast or brunch at a reasonable price

    The Mezze Plate

    This restaurant is so cute inside! The Mezze Plate was DELICIOUS, but you only get one piece of puff bread which isn't enough and you get charged for more. I went to order my meal and they out of everything I wanted (Kofte, Adam Kabob, and Lamb chops). I was really disappointed because I went there for the Turkish food and I don't see how you're out of half the items.. I ended up going for the creamy mushroom with beef which was really good. It's pretty expensive so be prepared for that.

    Decent food . But way too many options in types of cuisine imo. The service was non existent. Even asked for the check . The falafel was ridiculously small and the price . We won't be back . Sadly disappointed. But the building nicely renovated for the next restaurant.

    The cheesecake

    The food, service and atmosphere was wonderful! Peyton was our server who did a fantastic job. I had the chicken tikka marsala, my husband had the beef in mushroom sauce. The flavors were amazing. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they brought out a piece of their unique cheesecake with chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries. It is a nice quiet atmosphere where you can have a conversation with your table. We will be back to try other menu items.

    Appears that this is a new restaurant open like a year ago in Rochester downtown the moment you get in there you are definitely going to see a wide seating area with aesthetic interiors a beautiful bar area with a very good collection of whiskeys and cocktails. The lighting was perfect and it's amazing for group setting you just gotta make sure you have a reservation if you're coming in during the weekends And sometimes during the weekdays too the service was absolutely good. They made sure that we get the food very well and they ensure that the taste was good as we requested. You gotta try their dip sampler with the bread. They were outstanding and it's good for sharing. We tried a bunch of things along The menu. Everything tasted great. There's a parking next to the building. Enjoy and cheers.

    Service: 9/10 - our server was super friendly and though there were some minor miscommunications, the food came quick and tasted amazing! Highly recommend their Turkish cuisine specifically Food: 10/10 - very good, definitely recommend getting the Turkish tea to finish off your meal! Ambience: 9/10

    Our bill

    We tried Lumi after an appointment at Mayo two days ago. At 12:30 on a Thursday, it was completely empty. That should have been our first sign. Our greeter/server was very friendly and our table by the window was lovely. The restaurant's interior is cavernous and somewhat cold. We ordered the cream of mushroom and lentil soups to start. They came quickly and were good, but needed salt and pepper. For lunch I ordered the Parisienne burger ($19.95) ) and husband ordered the Lumi special kebab ($29.95). What I received was the Filet Parisienne ($29.95) and husband received the Lumi special breakfast. When I pointed out to the server that I ordered the burger, she told me that no, I had ordered the filet and she did not offer to correct her mistake. My husband had to wait for his correct order while I ate. When his food finally came, it was good but lacked seasoning. Mine, however, was almost inedible. The filet was tough to the point that I couldn't cut it with the knife. It included mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. The sprouts were delicious and the potatoes were very good but almost cold. Unfortunately, half the food was covered with what was supposedly a Bernaise sauce. It was a thick, greasy, goopy mess that I had to scrape off. I ate about 1/8 of the meal. When we were ready for the check, our server brought a piece of cheesecake to make up for my husband having to wait for his correct entree. When she brought the kiosk over for us to pay, we did so quickly as we wanted to get out of there. I should have looked closer because when we finally checked, she had charged me for the incorrect entree. We won't ever return to Lumi. If a restaurant that has 2 patrons can't serve the correct food, properly seasoned and hot, it doesn't deserve to be in business.

    Perfetto I have been…read moreescorting my 91 year old mother to the Mayo Clinic for nearly a year now during her cancer treatments. Yesterday she completed her treatments and I took her to Terza to celebrate. Everything was superb - beginning with the spot on attentive wait staff service, very well crafted Negroni cocktail (love that they use Amaro Montenegro over run of the mill Rosso Vermouth), and the crazy good deep fried cheese balls. These were served with the house "Mother Sauce", which is the chef's grandmother's home recipe. My first comment to the staff was that they could close the restaurant and simply sell this sauce in jars at the grocery store and retire - it's that good. On to the main course, mom had the chicken scallopini with house made taglietelle and I had the house made gnocchi. The chicken was pounded thin and tender, breading perfectly seasoned and sauce well. Generous portion served with 4 cutlets and a nice side of pasta. The house made pasta was tender and paired with a really delicious mushroom sauce (I could just have plate of that for dinner and be happy). But the star of the show was the gnocchi. I have had many gnocchi in Italy. I have made many gnocchi at home. If you have had gnocchi you probably know it can be light or it can sit like a rock in your belly. This gnocchi was on another level. It was so delicate and fluffy, and sauteed to give it a nice browned surface. I cannot say enough about what a skilled and delicate hand it takes to make a gnocchi like this. I would drive the 5 hours back to Rochester just to eat this again. We finished our meal with the dessert special. It was a lemon semolina cake with a perfect sugary crust and an incredible whipped vanilla-marscapone cream and blueberry sauce. Umm - can I have another please? I don't know what else to say but if you are NEAR Rochester you should go eat at Terza.

The greeting and service was excellent. The manager (owner?) came around to genuinely check on our table and all others. The food each of us had was a 5!!

The steak bites appetizer was a disappointment. While the steak was great at medium rare, it was covered in fried onions, and the ratio was way off. Too many onions, not enough meat, and it was too oily. The patio is nice, but it took the waiter a while to approach, then several wines weren't available. Wouldn't recommend, there are many places that are way better in Rochester.

I have tried various things on the menu and my favorite meal was the 10 oz NY Strip steak that was accompanied by beautiful mashed potatoes and asparagus. The dressing was fantastic. Steak sauce was not needed to add since the steak had so much flavor. It was perfectly done just the way I like it medium rare. Thanks to the Chef, it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Rodney was such a pleasure, he served us and the evening was pretty slow. I didn't mind because my friend and I were well taken care of. We both had a glass of Alamos Argentinian Malbec which we enjoyed every single sip. We explained to Rodney how we ran around all day long going to various appointments at Mayo. I was surprised for a Friday night that it was slow. We ate outdoors which was such a treat. We sat at a 4 top table facing Peace Square and people watched. Rodney was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and suggested many items. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer along with short rib tacos and my beautiful steak meal. I rarely ever pass up dessert and I love Crème Brûlée however I passed it up since I couldn't take another bite. This meal was the icing on the cake of our trip to Rochester.
