    Spicy yellowtail sushi roll with avocado, serrano chili, and wasabi mayo.
    Scott W.

    We visit Next Door a few times a year, and every time we're reminded why it's one of the best dining experiences in Rochester. Honestly, we should go more often because everything -- the service, the atmosphere, the menu -- is consistently impeccable. The menu changes periodically, which means some favorites come and go, but they're always replaced by new standouts. On our latest visit, we enjoyed a leisurely dinner on the beautiful patio near the wood fireplace, and the experience was perfect from start to finish. The miso soup was unique and deeply flavorful, with shrimp, tofu, and luxurious shimeji mushrooms. The baby gem and watercress salad surprised us with its creamy wasabi-cucumber dressing and refreshing crunch -- unexpectedly delicious. The grilled zucchini, glazed with honey soy and tarragon miso, was fantastic, especially where it had a bit of char. The sushi rolls were all incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced -- from the spicy yellowtail with serrano chili to the tempura shrimp with toasted coconut, to the inventive veggie and red dragon rolls. And for dessert, we tried the Chocolate Sensation, which honestly deserves a better menu description -- the sobacha, hazelnut, miso milk jam, and white chocolate ice cream combination sounds unusual, but it was outstanding and should not be missed. Next Door remains at the top of our list for high-end dining in the Rochester area. If you haven't been, put it on your list -- it really can't be beat. We'll definitely be back again soon.

    We were pleasantly surprised when we came back to dine at Next Door, and found that they had revamped their entire menu as well as the interior decor. I love the new gold accents, from table lamps, to wall paintings, to chairs, to plants and even their plates. Service was excellent as usual and the food was amazing. We started off with the tuna tartare which melts in your mouth. Paired with the rice chip, avocado and yuzu sauce, it was like eating a symphony in your mouth. Just like Remy in Ratatouille said, when you combine two things, new flavors are created. Next we're the seared salmon, seared, scallops and seared wagyu. When I say they melt in your mouth, I mean they MELT in your mouth. My favorite was the salmon, followed by the wagyu and then the scallops. Honestly they were so good. Then came the roasted eggplant and they had the coolest bamboo sticks that you use to consume in one bite. The crispy rice on top complemented the eggplant so well. A delight with every bite. Finally we ended our meal with the grass fed ribeye which was savory, flavorful, tender and grilled perfectly to medium-rare. I loved how we were able to order so much and share them between each other. We were full and very content with our meal. We love the new menu and cannot wait to come back and try more dishes!

    Food was delicious, steak was medium rare and was cooked perfectly. It came with butter mushroom which was pretty tasty. Sushi rolls were okay. Chicken had a great flavor.

    I'm a frequent flyer of Next Door. A big reason is because we have a wine locker, so there isn't any corkage fee for us. The ambiance is upscale and It's a nice place to bring guests, especially out-of-towners They have renovated and changed their menu. Unfortunately, I like their old menu better. I used to always get the Bento box, which is no longer an option. There new food items are still good, but like others have mentioned a little on the pricier side. I am still a fan because the service at Next Door is top notch, even though you pay a premium for it. They also host wine pairing dinners (Merry Edwards, Moet, Roederer, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Lafite) that I enjoy attending. So yeah, maybe for the special occasion. The no corkage fee for having a wine locker is the biggest draw for me.

    Next Door by Wegmans offers a valet service. I don't think it's necessary since it's the only restaurant there but sure. The doors open to 2 walls of Granny Smith apples, different. It is dimly lit and you can see into the wine storage areas. I made a reservation and our table was ready when we arrived. The waiter informed us they had recently remodeled and now the menu is meant for sharing. The first item we ordered was the tuna tartare, it was very refreshing and light. The crispy rice served as a voyager for the tuna tartare. I remembered from last time that the nigiri had wasabi underneath so I ordered it without it. Next up we ordered the nigiri; shrimp, scallop, salmon, and yellowtail. The shrimp was cooked, I was expecting sweet raw shrimp. I wouldn't paid have for cooked shrimp over rice if I knew that. The scallop was nice and sweet. The salmon, salmon roe, and yellowtail was okay. It's very expensive, 3 pieces for $18-$24! We ordered the Chilean sea bass with tomato curry broth to share, $46. It was good, pan seared served with salad. Our dining experience was okay, I've been here a few times but it is very overpriced. For being that expensive, I expect the best quality seafood.

    Wow! I was in the area for work and a friend had suggested it and it blew me away! Great vibe and terrific service from the minute we walked in. The food --- 5***** Everything we had was cooked perfectly and loaded with flavor - the beef tenderloin with brioche mushroom crumble - outstanding! And don't miss out on the baked cheesecake for two with panko macadamia crumble, mango sorbet. Amazing!

    Tuna tataki....Excellent and way yummy
    Hans B.

    Some of the best food I have had in Rochester. We sat at the bar....Kit was amazing bartender friendly and made good suggestions . Large bar and drink selections, no TV's. It was bustling. I liked the decor but it might not be your thing. Lighiting is low.. .so bring your glasses. We kept it simple Tuna Tataki, the "watercress salad" and the shrimp tempura sushi roll . All were fresh and delicious. The Tuna Tataki dish was so.good....we ordered it twice! The sauce is so good I wanted to lick the plate. We will definitely go back.

    Glad I got to try this place before I moved since we had been meaning to come for years and years. I would say we had a very good experience as we were able to reserve/somehow got counter seating in the back where all the magic (cooking) was happening. It was really entertaining to see all of the food being smoked, chopped, cooked, etc and felt kind of like an omakase experience. Prices are definitely hefty hear but it did feel like an upscale experience. We really went for anything we wanted and ended up getting some delicioius nigiri (including lean tuna, a scallop and seared scallop truffle and a salmon), eggplant lollipops, grillled fish, a steak and a chocolate dessert and a few rolls. The total was over $315 for the 4 of us but it felt well worth it. Everything was very nicely cooked and tasted great and it was a tasty dining experience. When you hear Wegman's and think of the grocery store, this is completely different. Worth coming here for a special celebration/treat.

    I wanted to say upfront that the Next Door bar and grill had a lovely vibe and a good happy hour; but the price of the food is just too high for what it is I always sit at the bar and the service is excellent - the bartender was super on top of things! The drinks were great but if it was Not the happy hour prices I wouldn't think it would be worth it I did like the hummus but the sushi itself was not that special for 19 bucks for 6 rolls The chicken appetizer was ok, but not spectacular Overall service is 5/5, food is 3-4/5, and prices are the biggest down side I still think you should give the drinks a chance for Happy hour

    Espresso martini is the

    Maria is the best!!! Food and service is great!! Must come see Maria!!! Atmosphere is great as well!!

    Food was delicious. Service was nice and the atmosphere was very fancy. They did not skimp on the drinks either

    A Ketchup container of icecream with the $15 lava cake
    Randy B.

    Over priced and not worth what you pay/the trouble/hype. We used to love this place. We don't like the recent changes to the menu, pricing, and decor. This isn't a "Next Door" or Grill menu. It's Asian fusion and I know better Japanese restaurants in the area. Now you pay for sides separately and prices have gone up. 15 bucks for half a sweet potato that wasn't good at all. $15 for a tiny lava cake with a thimble of icecream. Portioning on the miso soup is half what it used to be. The steak was good but price went up. Truffle fries and service are the only reasons to go back. The bill was $250 for me and my wife by the end. If you want cocktails and good truffle fries sure... beyond that if you want fine dining and ambiance I feel you should look somewhere else.

    Bronzino fish... off the charts with flavor. Cooked to perfection / incredible
    Lauren N.

    From the service to the food ... incredible! And we're a tough pair, my husband has a severe allergy , they paid close attention to it with everything , even avoiding cross contamination. Our server John was so knowledgeable and detailed when explaining things on the menu. Drinks superb . Everything top quality , from Food , ambience , the service , the drinks , everything... now we just need one in Florida . But this will be my Go to spot when we come up quarterly for work! Def a favorite !

    What are the vegan options?

    They have a vegan menu that you must order a head of time and everyone at the table must eat from the vegan menu at $65.00 each...The chef prepares the meal which is up to his discretion as to what he'll serve...Tasty but a tad high end...

    An unforgettable 50th birthday dinner!…read more My wife treated me to dinner here, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. This is the kind of meal you keep talking about long after you leave. What truly elevated the night, though, was the service. Our waiter Andy was phenomenal. Attentive, knowledgeable, warm, and effortlessly professional. He struck that perfect balance of being present without hovering, and his recommendations were spot on. Junior waiter James was equally impressive, thoughtful, polished, and clearly invested in making sure we had a great experience. They made us feel celebrated without being over-the-top, which is not easy to do. The entire team contributed to an atmosphere that felt upscale, welcoming, and memorable. If you are celebrating something important or simply want an incredible dining experience, Black & Blue delivers on every level. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate such a milestone birthday. Highly recommend.

    I consider myself somewhat of a restaurant expert, and until my most recent visit, Black & Blue in…read morePittsford had been one of my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, this Mother's Day 5/10/26 experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to leave a review. We had reservations for 3:30 PM on Mother's Day, and in the special request section of the reservation, I clearly specified that this was a Mother's Day celebration. I also requested a quiet or private booth and mentioned that my daughter is vegetarian. Upon arrival, we were seated upstairs directly next to what appeared to be an employee service area. We could constantly hear employees talking, dishes being washed or thrown around, and overall it was easily the loudest table in the restaurant. What made this more frustrating was that another couple seated next to us complained loudly about their table and caused a scene. Although staff initially explained the restaurant was full, they were eventually moved. Meanwhile, we had politely requested a better table in advance through the reservation system, yet because we were patient and understanding, it felt like we were simply ignored. Service throughout the meal was inconsistent and inattentive. It took quite a while before anyone took our drink order. The wine menu presented to me only included wines by the glass, despite the fact that I later saw servers bringing full bottles of wine and champagne to other tables. I wanted to order a bottle of champagne for the occasion, but by the time our waitress finally arrived, I didn't want to complicate things further. Another detail that stood out was the complete lack of acknowledgment for Mother's Day. I overheard our waitress enthusiastically wishing other tables a "Happy Mother's Day" and asking if they were celebrating anything special, yet she never once acknowledged me or our celebration. My husband ordered a piña colada and was told they could not make one, so he settled for a strawberry martini that was overwhelmingly sweet and unenjoyable. We chose not to complain. The food itself, as always, was excellent and truly the highlight of the evening. However, the service continued to feel rushed and impersonal. I was planning to order my favorite espresso martini after dinner, but instead the bill was simply dropped at the table without anyone asking if we wanted dessert or another drink. One employee who was handling bread and water service also made us feel rushed. While I was literally still chewing my food, she interrupted to ask, "Should I bag that for you?" It made me feel like we were being pushed out. I was also disappointed that despite specifically mentioning my daughter was vegetarian in the reservation notes, our waitress never offered vegetarian suggestions or asked about dietary restrictions. At most upscale restaurants, this level of attentiveness is expected. The most upsetting part of the evening, however, was what felt like dismissive and unprofessional behavior toward us as Latinos. My husband has an accent, and our waitress repeatedly pretended not to understand him. At one point, after commenting on his accent, she laughed and said, "Or maybe I'm deaf." We found this rude, uncomfortable, and inappropriate for a restaurant of this caliber. Ironically, despite the poor experience, I still tipped over 20% -- more than $100 from our table alone -- because I did not want to reinforce unfair stereotypes about Latinos not tipping. Black & Blue has always justified its upscale pricing through excellent food and outstanding hospitality, which is why this experience was so disappointing. While the food remains exceptional, the atmosphere has become extremely loud and chaotic, to the point where it reminded me more of Red Lobster than the elevated dining experience this restaurant once offered. I truly hope management takes customer service more seriously moving forward, because this visit was nowhere near the standard Black & Blue used to represent.

The servers are not just taking orders, they actually understand the menu, the ingredients, the pairings. You can ask questions and get real answers. At one point I thought, these aren't bartenders, they're scientists. The level of knowledge and attention to detail is just different. The food completely lived up to that same standard. Every single person at the table was happy with their meal, which honestly says a lot. No one was picking around their plate or wishing they ordered something else. The chef clearly knows what they're doing. Everything was thoughtful, balanced, and just really, really good. Quick note on dessert though. It didn't quite match the level of the rest of the menu. Not bad, just not on the same level. If you're trying to be strategic, you can probably skip it and leave happy. Parking is easy, which I always appreciate. You've got valet or you can self park, so no stress there. If you're in Rochester, you really can't skip Redd Wood. It's one of those places that makes the whole dining experience feel elevated without being over the top. Definitely worth it.

For the price, we were completely underwhelmed For starters, we ordered two different cocktails. The May queen was fabulous the bebbo was tasty, but you couldn't taste any gin in it We started with the Lyonnaise salad , smoked beets, Swedish meatballs, tuna tartare and chicken wings The salad was our favorite, the tuna lacked flavor and we detected no smokiness in the beets. The meatballs were light and the sauce flavorful, would've loved a few more June berries. Chicken wings were nicely spiced and no too saucy For the main we shared 2 steak frites- a bit more well done than the medium rare ordered but tender and tasty, fries are great- bordelaise sauce didn't have the depth of flavor I expected. For dessert we shared the lemon poppyseed cake and chocolate mouse. The cake was light and Lemony with a hint of poppyseed flavor. The mousse was very odd- super pale in color and the crunchy bits on top did not pair well with the texture of the mousse Service was attentive, sometimes a bit too much- reaching across the table to fill waters... maybe leave a bottle on the table? It was a completely male staff... Male servers, male, valets, male bartenders. We did wonder where the women were.

I decided we should go for Valentine's Day! So here we are a group of 4, on Valentine's Day . Reservation was for 6 however our show ended early so we came around 5:30. Restaurant was empty except for a few people at the bar. Host was less than happy about us coming in early. We had no problem waiting. He reluctantly seats us. The waitress comes out rolls her eyes and then gives a fake smile. Maybe because our skin is brown but our money is green. Now to the food! Awful and severely over priced! We have been too many expensive restaurants that can walk the walk. Erie Grill can't even crawl. Caesar salad $25 (serves one, not an entree), chicken lollipops $16 end up being two chicken legs. The others ordered wagu meatloaf. It definitely tasted frozen. I order tuna tartar wontons (Nosh's Ahi tuna wontons would murder these) and a bowl of jambalaya (meh).

While the food itself was fine, the service was unfortunately very disappointing. We had a reservation but stood at the hostess stand for about 10 minutes before being seated. During that time, the waitress was chatting with other patrons, which would have been understandable had our party not felt consistently deprioritized throughout the meal. Our group arrived around the same time and took a few minutes to catch up and meet a friend's newborn before placing drink and food orders. Service was extremely slow, particularly given that my son ordered a simple bowl of cereal, which arrived no earlier than the hot entrées. Our drinks were not refilled, and when I asked for additional water, I was told the waitress had another large party coming in soon. When I stepped away briefly to take my son to the restroom, our plates were cleared despite the fact that he still had food left. The staff made it very clear that we were expected to leave, even though we had only been there for about an hour and forty minutes and experienced significant delays in receiving our food. Overall, the food was acceptable, but the service toward our larger party felt rushed, dismissive, and unwelcoming. With more attentive and considerate service, this could be a much better experience.
