Perfect evening out. We mistakenly arrived early, but the hostess sat us right away anyways at the best table in the place. Out server, Natalie was over right away to greet us and take out drink orders. The bartender made a very strong and delicious cocktail for us. The main courses of steaks and sides were to die for. Love the quiet atmosphere of this place. Cozy and elegant. Don't change a thing Max. read more

I got the grilled pork chop. It was seasoned incredibly well and was very tender. It had a small amount of pink in the middle. The filet was delicious and cooked perfectly. The fries were a little over done which for the price was slightly disappointing. Overall good experience would go back again. read more

Great Steaks! My buddy and I had a great steak and potatoes dinner tonight here at Max Chophouse. The bread and whipped butter was decent. The steaks were fantastic -- we both had Angus filet mignon, seared on the outside, medium on the inside. I topped it off with au poivre sauce. We finished with a fig galette. The steak was good, the dessert choices were simple, the service was excellent. We will be back! read more

Great steak, I ordered the ribeye and it was perfectly seared and cooked to temp. The staff was wine knowledgeable and friendly. This was my first time eating here, I usually just go to Black and Blue but the Steak was without question better here. My wife and I ordered 4 ordered of the oysters, the were delicious and fresh you didn't even need lemon or hot sauce, just shoot um straight up. 5 out of 5 for sure. read more

I would give a 5 star, but I'm perplexed by the failure of Rochester Steak houses to serve Baked Potatoes. Every steak house I go to in Chicago , Miami , Las Vegas , Houston , Omaha , etc have baked potatoes. Year round. I was even insulted by a waiter here in Rochester that told baked potatoes are seasonal, Yet , Max's and Black and Blue , Grinnels and maybe even Michaels grille, serve steaks but no baked potatoes. Can someone explain that ? read more

I didn't like the steak or potatoes very much. That's just my taste. I'm sure would others like the way they seasoned it. If it were just that I would not write a review. The only reason I am writing a review is because of a gift card problem. I came in with a $100 card a close friend gave me for helping her out in a time if need. They told me the card was no good. They did end up honoring it but made me feel a little bit like I did something wrong. I'm sorry to say that someone who works there made a mistake when they tried to validate the card when purchased. Why should I be made to feel like I'm doing something wrong. She asked if it had already been used. I ask her this, when would you ever give a fully used card back to the customer. You wouldn't. Stop making me feel bad for her employees error. Guess I'm not going back soon read more

We really enjoyed the quality of the food at this restaurant. The wedge salad was crisp and flavorful, the surf and turf was cooked perfectly - filet mignon was tender and the lobster tail was very fresh. I'd recommend the side of Brussels sprouts especially as a highlight. Unfortunately however despite the good food, the service quality at the restaurant left much to be desired. My party of 7 made a reservation earlier in the week. When we arrived, we stood in the small entry area for 25 minutes before being seated. I was told that this was "very typical for any restaurant and we could have grabbed drinks at the bar" (which had no room). The wait staff was courteous but seemed overwhelmed -- there were long gaps in the service, and we didn't receive our entrees until an hour after being seated. If you are coming with a larger group or on a business dinner, I'd hesitate to recommend this place based on my experience. read more

In all honesty I would have never known about this place. It's in a strip mall... We made reservations, it's a small place. It was a first time for all of us. It's warm and cozy Dark woods, lowered lighting. You can bring your own wine the corkage fee is $20 but worth it. The wine list is compact but pretty good. They bring over rolls with a homemade compound butter quite tasty. The rolls are a butter roll or one with Rosemary on it both tasty, too bad they were not warm. The fish/seafood is excellent the oysters are fresh and succulent. The special appetizer Smoked Shrimp Salad my friends had was just Wow! I had along with my friends BF we had the Steak Freits, Hanger Steak cooked to your liking, my GF had the filet with Truffle Butter.. That filet was so, so tender. My husband had the Sea Bass. Flakey and yum. Sides were the Roasted Carrots with Capers and Current's. Wow and we got the famous Mashed Potatoes get them.. The only issue was we ordered the Steak Tartar and it never came why?! No explanation, they did ask us if we still wanted it, but they were bringing us our Mains so we said no but took it off the bill. But still no reason why we did not get it? The husband wanted to try it, that's why he ordered it. Also the bus boy dropped my silverware on the table and it hit my water & wine glass and we were drinking red wine. Both kind of got on me, nothing major but we were at a four top table plenty of room but still plates and things were banged into? Maybe he needed a little more confidence or control or training. Hey things happen.. Also if possible get desert any of them.. When it came to desert no offer of coffee.. I had to ask, granted she comped me on that, but after the debacle with the silverware hitting my water& wine glasses and the lack of the one app my husband wanted and we brought our own wine, could you have comped us the corkage fee maybe?! Not being cheap but.... On to desert..The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie the right amount of smooth and sweet. Get it even to go. Just cause it's in a strip mall does not mean it's bad, it's a hidden gem and they have parking. Give them a shot you will be glad you did. (One major issue.. Pacing of courses it was a bit rushed) not sure the HB will go back... I am willing for another shot. read more

My wife and I bought a house today! By that I mean, we saved for years, looked at house for months, finally found one, made an offer, got it accepted, got it inspected, sent 1,345,3u1 pieces of paper to the bank for a mortgage and yeah that was a u! Not a typo, it was just that nuts. AND, today we signed all the last bits and pieces and it is done. We own a house. So we wanted to celebrate and so we decided to go here, to Max Chop house. A restaurant I have often heard praised as one of Rochesters best! And it was the singularly, most disappointing meal, I have ever eaten. Now maybe the build up over the years contributed but I don't really think so. So let's walk it through. We arrived and were promptly seated by the bartender since there was no hostess. Ok. Odd for a high end place and there was some confusion as he tried to talk to us from 25 feet down the bar but we after taking a small tour of the restaurant he unconfidently sat us back where we started. Our server came over, she was very stiff and unpersonable. She had no personality and if I found out she was a robot I would slowly nod my head. I watched as 3 mini bottles of coke were poured into 2 glasses for us. Not a complaint as much as I found it odd and evidence of how long it has been since this place has been updated. So we order. A crab cake appetizer, a strip steak and potatoes and finally a salmon dish. And it was all pretty much all crap. My wife said the potatoes were decent.... The crab cakes were WAY over cooked otherwise they were bland but not bad per se. The steak was the blandest piece of meat I have ever eaten. The only flavor came from the copious amounts of steak sauce poured all over it, which we did not ask them to do, and it was so cold the truffle butter that came with it wouldn't even melt! A truck stop can make a better steak, Hell, Demnys probably makes a better steak. The potatoes were lyonnaise style which is a very simple preparation of thin panfried potatoes with butter onion and parsley. These.....were not those. They were small wedges, there was onion but there was also some mustard?ish sauce on them. I dunno but they were not as advertised. Lastly the salmon, not only poorly designed and poorly executed, it was just bad. A bed of farro, a grain, with little flavor itself and imo poor mouth feel, along with some tomatoes which I believe were suppose to be blistered but were not, Moroccan spices of which we tasted none, the undercooked salmon itself and a tasteless and visually unappealing, baby crap green, yogurt sauce that added nothing. And by the way, much to our shock, they served *u*it cold even though neither the menu nor the waitress thought that relevant enough to mention. If you have an entree, listed under entrees and its served chilled. Let the customer know for God a sake. And by the way I lived in Morocco and this had no sense of anything I ever ate there. All of this added together, came out to be both the worst choice I have ever made in a restaurant and a $115 mistake at that. There was literally only 1 good thing I can say about our meal. They had decent rolls. Though we thought it odd they had a young man whose sole job seamed to be to deliver said rolls instead of just giving us a basket. Maybe they think it makes them classy? The honey/red hot butter that came with them was ok, but I would have like to been given the choice or both that and normal butter. All things considered, its not really important given how this meal went. read more

Max Chophouse is in a hard to notice location. There is limited parking in front, but more parking in the rear. Upon entering the front door, I was taken aback by the small size of the entire restaurant, but it was cozy, elegant, and perfect. Judging by the other patrons, it was almost like walking into an exclusive country club as its patrons were all well dressed and probably wealthy. It is easy to see why 'the beautiful people' come here. I was one of four and one of my companions brought his own wine. The corkage fee is $15, but they will waive the fee if you purchase a bottle. I was surpirsed at how knowledgeable our server was regarding wines, asking if we wanted to decant a bottle. While we didn't order any wine from the restaurant, I did peruse the menu and was quite satisfied with the offerings and pricing with a range of options, including Finger Lakes, and a few bottles for less than $30 for the more budget conscious. For the meal, I started with the soup of the day, a lamb stew served with two fat slices of homemade bread that was made with club soda. This made the bread fizzle a tiny amount when you put it in your mouth. The bread and soup were excellent. Of course, for my first time here, I had to have a good cut of meat. There are only 5 options, not including any specials. I had the filet mignon, 11oz for $41, it was cooked to perfection at medium rare. I probably should have had the 6oz for $27, as it was almost too much food with everything else. My companions had the NY strip steak, which they raved about. When you order a steak at Max's, there are five steak sauces that are included. Each sauce changed the dynamics of each bites, only in a good way. For sides, we ordered collectively, the frites, the mashed potatoes, a gourmet mac&cheese, caramelized brussel sprouts (amazing), and spicy ginger green beans (different, spicy, and good). This was too much food for four men as we couldn't finish everything. We couldn't even comprehend consuming any desert. To sum up, Max's has excellent food, attentive service, and a cozy, elegant atmosphere. I will certainly be back. read more

Had a wonderful dinner last night. We had drinks at the bar and were seated for dinner. Natalie was our server great selections for dinner. Salads were fresh and scallops were cooked nicely. Will go again. read more

My wife and were looking for a constant restaurant to have dinner and Max Chophouse came to mind. We have had dinner here before and we were very pleased with the service and the quality of the steaks and sides. Today we arrived at 5:45pm we had reservations for 6pm, and the staff was busy setting up for service. Our hostess showed us to our table, our server Sarah greeted us and quickly offered us drinks, she also made recommendations for wines. Sarah was very attentive and very pleasant, my wife ordered the Rack of Lamb which she said very tender, juicy and delicious, I had the crispy skin Sea Bass, everything was very good and Sarah was very knowledgeable and very helpful. It was a very good start to weekend. read more

Sadly Disappointing anniversary dinner! It has been several years since I have been here and would not go again. Maybe just a bad day, but expensive mistakes. Rolls were stale and hard...inedible. Beet salad drenched in dressing with a few minuscule diced beets. House wine was tart and vinegary. Steak was over cooked. Bass had to be sent back as was raw at center...long wait and Mediocre meal. read more

Mashed potatoes were overly lumpy and the $90 "dry-aged" steak was mostly fat and sinews. We will never return.

We had a great time here. My filet was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The service was thoughtful and done with expert skill. The young lady who served our salted rosemary bread was helpful and kind. The primary server regaled us with local stories and points of interest. Bar was just perfect. Be careful not to burn your menu on the candles. They are the real deal. The staff were very supportive after we almost burned the place down. read more

This restaurant has a fantastic ambience with a quiet, private environment. My family and I get the cheese plate, scallops and Mac & cheese for appetizers, and they were all excellent. I ordered a Kansas City strip steak, but was brought out the 40oz porterhouse. When brought up to the server, she apologized and offered to either get me the correct steak or keep the steak with an adjusted price. The porterhouse was phenomenal, and both the server and manager apologized multiple times. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Host and the kid that gave us bread/water were super cool and nice. Waitress was alright. Wasn't expecting near constant disco music the entire time (pretty odd for a steakhouse). Not super enjoyable. The Max's chop steak is literally just an overpriced, bland, oversized, burger with okay fries. Salmon was also bland (I've had better at P.F. Changs for a fraction of the price). The special mac and cheese with brisket was pretty good but nothing to come back for. The only item with legit flavor were those tasty salt and rosemary bread rolls. Got most the food boxed up because we just weren't enjoying it. Didn't bother with dessert - we just wanted to get out of there. Went here for a special celebration thinking it would be amazing based off the reviews, but we were greatly disappointed. Don't be fooled by all the 5-star reviews - this place is not nearly worth what they charge. read more

Best ribeye steak I've ever had, set in a strip mall in an unassuming storefront. Amazing sauces, warm sourdough rolls with homemade flavored butters. Appetizer of foie gras was superb. read more

My latest trip was Friday December 6th. I went with a group of 3 couples. I rated Max's 5 starts when taking the price into consideration because the food was just that good. It outshines the negatives. I still feel like it didn't meet or beat tournedos on ambiance and drinks. The food is great but a few other areas were lacking. I really think it was more like 4.5 but decided to round up rather than down. We loved our food and so did the rest of our party. My wife and I shared a 34ish ounce (can remember the exact number) bone in prime ribeye. Steak was cooked perfectly. Med rare on the inside and crust on the outside. One of the best cooked steaks I have had. The flavor was there too. Better than the dry aged prime I have had everywhere else. The Bordelaise was good and complimented the steak well. The steak was around 95 ala cart but that's reasonable given the amazing taste, size, quality, and preparation. For sides we had carrots and Mac and cheese. Both were great. Carrots were sweet, still a little firm, seasoned well and just overall fantastic. Same with the Mac and cheese. It was flavorful, rich, and awesome. We tried to order the chick liver patte appetizer. Unfortunately they said they were unable to make it. I was looking forward to trying it. Maybe next time. Other couples had a lobster tail, hangar steak, ribeye, and filet. All were good. The drinks were too expensive when compared to other places and not worth it. There were no wines listed by the glass. That was disappointing. I want to be able to look up the wines before I order and that wasn't the case. Having a waiter rattle off a list isn't helpful. The house Pinot was $14. It was ok. It was more of a 9 dollar glass on my oppinion. I couldn't tell you what it was because it's not identified anywhere. The hard alcohol menu in general was not extensive nor was it listed anywhere. I had to ask which types of whisky they had just so I could get a Manhattan. The Manhattan was 15 dollars with a mid shelf bourbon (bulliet). Given that an entire bottle is 30 dollars, a shot being 13 (they list the shot price on your bill then add money for the rest of the drink) is way overpriced. I would expect 8 for a shot and 10 for the Manhattan. The gin Martini was beefeater and was 15. This should have been 10 or 11. The drinks were ok but not amazing. I expected a perfect martini and Manhattan given those prices. Tournedos has an overall better ambiance and experience. Max's is smaller and tables are less private. The bar is right next to the dining area. The staff is overall less "professional". There was almost no Christmas decor anywhere. I am not saying that maxs is bad in any of these regards, but tourenods is just another level and more a the high end experience overall. Max's food was on point though. read more

Met with friends there at 7 last night. We never received our dinner until 9. A 2 hour wait is simply un acceptable, especially when the food is not exceptional. The prices are ridiculously high, especially when other steak houses in the area are more reasonable. No wine list, the server just rattles off the offerings. I sat on a padded bench along the wall which became painful during the nearly three hours that I occupied it. Save your money. read more

I have eaten here in the past, but I forgot how great this place is. A nice selection of steaks, some specials, many regular menu items. Two of us had the 20 OZ prime ribeye. It was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. Phenomenal piece of meat and the best steak I have had in Rochester in a long long time. My wife had the 12 oz fillet, which was equally amazing. She wanted a bit of pink so ordered medium. It still came out too red but she didn't send it back as the outside was perfect for her and it was large enough that she took it home and when she reheated it, that red middle was cooked to her liking. I did taste it and it was about as good a fillet as I've had around here. Several other specials stood out. Our friend got the bone in strip, which looked fantastic. They also had a 42 oz porterhouse for sharing ($100) and they'll cut it up for you, making it a great shareable steak, similar to what you'd see in Florence. There was also a cowboy cut ribeye with a bone that I think was 30 OZ but that might not have been the size. It was big. Sides were excellent. Pommes frites were delicious as well as the asparagus. We had the oysters as an app. They were a bit small, but very tasty and had a delicious lemony drizzle over them. The chop and "other salad" (I can't remember which it was) were both excellent too. The steaks were all seasoned perfectly and cooked on a hot hot grill, crisping up the outside while keeping the inside perfect. This all starts with great cuts of meat. They do wet and dry aging here. No dry available that night, not that it mattered to us. The wet was incredible. I'll be bringing a client here in a couple of weeks. I can think of no better place to get a steak at the moment. I do have my faves, but this one just took the top spot. It's pricey, but if you want an outstanding meal with excellent, yet not overbearing service, this is amongst the best we have in the Roc. read more

Hands down the best steak house in Rochester NY. A private & causal setting that offers a variety of fine wines and an amazing selection of different cuts of steak. We have had each and every cut from the strip to the filet and amazed each and every time. The staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Compared to the other "fine dining steak houses" in Rochester The Chop House is fairly priced and worth the overall experience which will bring you back time and time again! read more

I really wanted to love this place, especially after walking in. I like the dark small dining area; I liked the menu - not particularly creative, but the solid staples you expect at a steakhouse. I liked the wine list. But... The service was good - it didn't stand out, especially for this price point, but no real complaint on this front. The food, on the other hand, was well below expectations. The steak was over done. I get that a lot of people order medium rare and then think it's not done enough, but if you're worried about that clarify what medium rare looks like, don't just bring a medium (at least) steak. I know... I could have sent it back, etc. but at a table of four when everyone else has their food I'd rather eat an over cooked steak than wait for a new one - especially since they gave me sauce, which should never be needed for a steak in this kind of place. You're a steakhouse; at least get the steak right. The salmon was also overdone (I think the trout was too...). I just don't like when people cook the flavor out of the food. Dessert also was just ok. That said, my dad (who's in his 70's) liked the meal a lot. Perhaps that's the target audience here... makes sense: uncreative menu, standard service, somewhat bland over cooked food... There are better options for steak in rochester. read more

Food was great, HUGE shrimp. Great service, my waitress was probably new, or just not that great, though she looked like Ruth from the show Ozark so that was interesting. Luckily there was some waiter that clearly was not new and I was able to listen to him for a quality explanation of all of the specials and cuts that aren't on the menu. Her service was great, she just needs to practice her sales pitch. read more

This was the worst dining experience I have ever had. From the service to every item we ordered it was TERRIBLE. It took us 40 min to even get a cocktail. Our salads arrived before our drinks. When our entrees came both steaks were burnt to the point of being inedible. Despite being one of few diners in the restaurant we struggled to locate any servers. When I went to the lady's room they were having a coffee clotch out of sight. They did take one steak off the bill, thank you, but how are you sending out a $70 steak special that is not cooked evenly and again charred to the point of not being able to eat. My boyfriend refused to send it back. We are sympathetic to the limitations that this pandemic is putting on restaurants, but can we get a properly cooked steak when you are charging a premium? Especially when the restaurant is empty! DO NOT EAT HERE! read more

New menu same great steaks. Three of us shared 42 ounce bone-in porterhouse. ($100)) special. 30 oz of steak servings. Waitress looked at our party and said it would feed us. She was right. Cooked perfectly to requested medium rare with excellent charring on outside. Great residual drippings on plate (comes sliced). No sauces needed although we used some of Max upscale version of A-1 steak sauce. We loved our collective steak! We loved the side of Max Mac n Cheese. We liked then Brussels sprouts (Revelry has better). We ordered drinks. The Manhattan on the Rocks was a plebeian well drink diluted with too much ice. (Revelry has inspired Manhattans). Service was perfect. We had a great meal. Can't ask for much more than that. read more

OMG is this place good. The steaks are perfectly prepared and present, the sides are beautiful, the service is flawless, the wine list is extensive , the cocktails are beautiful, the setting is wonderful and it is a great night to spend with friends . read more

I went here for the first time last night and it was a great time. As others have pointed out, the location is a little odd but do not let that factor into your judgment. I ordered my "go to" steak - filet mignon - medium rare and it was excellent. The waitress brought out one of each sauce - which was very considerate and a nice way to mix up the meal. My friend ordered the hanger steak and he was still craving it the next morning. The sides, which are a quintessential part to every steakhouse experience, delivered as well. We split three of them- mash potatoes, mushrooms and Brussel sprouts. The sprouts compared very favorably to other places I've been to in terms of consistency and spices. And you can never go wrong with adding some quality shittake (I think) mushrooms and creamy potatoes right? All quality steakhouses are pricey so one should go in with this expectation. In my view it's worth it. Pretty large wine selection, should be able to find something that will work for you. They also have a nice bar area which is fully stocked. read more

I rarely eat Filet Mignon but when I do I wish it was always from here. Top notch 6oz Angus filet. I chose to get the Truffle Butter sauce on the side. My decision may or may not have been based on the fact that I am currently very into the Nicki Minaj song....either way, the steak was cooked perfectly, melted like butter in my mouth. All of the sides are portioned to share. Three of us split 2 sides - the pomme frits and the mushrooms. Both of these sides were also delicious. Downside, this place is very pricey (there was a Maserati parked outside). We had the peanut butter pie for dessert, to die for. The location is unsuspecting and it is small inside but it's all about the food. read more

Max Chophouse - Truffle butter and 6oz angus filet - Steakhouses Near Me - Rochester, New York

I was wavering between 4 and 5 stars, but it was only because we sat at the table closest to the kitchen. This is a clear 5 star meal. We started out with warm, crusty bread and truffled butter. I couldn't get enough of it, it was delicious. The house pinot noir was smooth and rich, and it was the perfect accompaniment to both the escargot and steak tartare appetizers that my host and I ordered. My steak, a thick, well marbled ribeye, was cooked a perfect medium. I barely needed a knife as I sliced through it and gorged myself on a cut large enough to feed a family of three. When it was time to consider dessert, all I could muster was a faint grunt. I will, without a doubt, return. read more

I went here because of the good yelp reviews.... I should of known the price is like $75-100 each for dinner... ha But wow... their Dry Aged stake was awesome... also for some reason their french fries taste like they are healthy... I have no idea what they do.. The sides are big enough to share, so don't get two orders of the same, I got fries and my wife got mash patoes... both were great, but big portions.... We had a nice date night.... more of a special occassion type place, unless you are a high roller... Also, the outside kind of looks like a Dry Cleaning place... but the inside is nice... also not far to the bars on Alexander if you are going out drinking afterward... This is my fav restaurant in the Roc read more

Best steak I've had in rochester. Blows char out of the water. Dim , simple upscale restaurant atmosphere. Not loud at all and was able to enjoy my time spent here. I decided to Ear at the bar as I was by myself, and the bartender was extremely helpful. Took the time and initiative to have a conversation with me and found out I was an out of town traveler and a bit of a foodie. On her own she decided to write me a list of the best restaurants in town that she would recommend. I believe I had the ribeye , with blue cheese butter and horseradish on the side. Both sauces phenomenal, steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Got an order of frites on the side, the aioli was delicious as were the fries . Was pleasantly surprised with the flavors and experience. read more

Top notch. We went here for an anniversary. The choices were amazing. The food was cooked to perfection, and it's a very traditional steakhouse. The service was impeccable and the ambiance is perfect. All around a wonderful experience. Plan on spending some money if you visit this establishment, but it's worth the experience. read more

Reading the rave reviews about Max's, I hoped it would live up to the hype when I suggested it as a last-minute location for my birthday dinner. I admit, the strip mall location off Monroe Ave. left me wondering... But once my date and I got inside, all of my fears evaporated. Simply put, this is the best steak I have ever had. The restaurant is smaller than I expected, separated into two dining areas. We were seated in the area with the bar, which had a bit of noise from the bar patrons. I think I would have preferred being seated in the rear. My date and I got right to business ordering drinks (note there is no draft beer here, only bottles, cocktails, and an extensive wine list). We quickly decided on the Prime Ribeye cooked medium, and also ordered sides of sauteed mushrooms and onions and a side of the mac and cheese we had heard so much about. Rolls soon arrived, and soon, our steaks. I did not order any of the side sauces, I prefer the cut of meat to stand on its own. The moment of truth revealed this to be the best goddamned steak I have had since I moved out of the NYC area a few years ago. Cooked to perfection and every bite tender and flavorful with no gristle to be found. Amazing. A bit of mushrooms and onion sent me to heaven with each bite. My date exclaimed that this was probably the best steak she ever had. I also enjoyed the mac and cheese, which had great subtle cheese flavors with the right amount of crunch. My date said it was good, but she would have preferred kit to be "cheesier." I was barely able to finish all of my steak, so the mac and cheese came home with me. I usually like to finish off a superb meal like that with a nice glass of California port or some other dessert wine, but I found the missing from the menu. Instead I capped off my meal with another beer. The prices are high, but I found the service and food to be worth every penny. Treat yourself to a little piece of meaty perfection for your next special occasion! read more

As long as you are prepared to spend your hard earned money, Max's will help you do so in delightful ways. Tuesday nights is a 3 course fixed price special with 4 types of wine included. No matter when you go, the Mac n Cheese is always worth trying. Sides are ala carte & delish! read more

Really enjoyed my recent dining experience here during a Tuesday night! It was the $39 prix fixe 3-course menu with unlimited wine...no brainer to choose this option for a Tuesday. The plaza is a bit hard to find, but once you walk inside it's a fabulous, intimate environment. We enjoyed the 2 white wines (4 glasses, thanks quick-to-pour server!), tuna spring rolls, a salad (a bit heavy on the radishes) and panko crusted catfish with sweet potato fries. All delicious! It was also a great way to sample some new fare I might not have if not for the prix fixe option. Will definitely return! read more

I went here for the first time last month to celebrate me getting into grad school and let me tell you it was the best food decision I've made since moving to roc city. This place is amazing! It's expensive but it's worth every penny and honestly is not a lot more than you'd pay at a $$ steakhouse in rochester for sub par food. The service was great. Our waiter was a little awkward at first but really nice and attentive. He made suggestions throughout the meal that were extremely on par for what we wanted. We started with the shrimp cocktail for an app which was amazing as to be expected. For our meal, my girlfriend and I shared a large ceasar, the pomme frites, and an 11oz filet with the truffle butter sauce. Everything was SOOOO good. We would've tried the lobster Mac too but she is allergic. For dessert I had coffee and we shared the peanut butter pie. It was good but nothing to die for as we were still talking about the filet. If you haven't been here, you should definitely save it for a celebration dinner with those who love great food and great service. I will definitely be back!! read more

The outside is very unassuming. As you walk in your impressions are instantly transformed into something great. We had excellent service from the time we sat down to the time we left. We ordered the wagyu strip, lamb shank and the tuna steak. All of the dishes were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The drinks we ordered were all expertly crafted as well. We even watched as the waited sang beautifully for the table next us. Highly recommended for a special night out. read more

Probably the best steak in Monroe County. Great drinks and apps. Is that 85 characters yet?

I went here with with a group last week. No holds barred from start to finish. Two different types of oyster, jumbo shrimp cocktail, pig ear app, carpaccio, and cheese plate to start. Everything was excellent and the seafood was super fresh!! On to the entrees...one fish, two ribeyes, and one surf and turf. Minor mix up with the ribeye, but only required switching plate. Garlic frites, mashed potatoes, and brussell sprouts as sides. Again, all excellent, and perfectly cooked. Last, dessert. Olive oil cake, peanut butter pie, and chocolate mousse. We ordered all to go. But found out later, their desserts are excellent too. Sure it's in a strip mall, and you might miss it if you didn't know it was there. It's also pretty small inside, but I really enjoyed the ambience, and our server (Matt/Mark?) was great. We discussed possibly making a meal of ALL the appetizers next!! :) read more
