This is one of those places that keeps you coming back, and I love finding local spots that put so much care into their food. If you're visiting Rochester, Cheater's is a must-try.

Went here to celebrate my anniversary with my wife. The food was delectable. Our favorite star of…read morethe show was the Duck Drummies, the sauce paired well with the meat. Just wanted a bit more sauce. The salmon was cooked well with a crispy skin underneath. Flavors played together nicely with the textures. We enjoyed the dessert as the textures (there's a theme here) had great interplay with the flavors in the dish. Only wish that pastry was hot. The ambience is nice and chill. It can feel a bit cramped but gives kinda a speakeasy vibe meets hipster. Note that finding parking is a bit challenging here. There are two booths on the window that would make excellent date spots. The reason for the rating is due to the service. I made a reservation for the spot and made reference to it being our anniversary. However, nothing was done to reference the reason for the dinner. I had never been there and didn't know about the booth availability. The place was busy but we didn't get much attention (menus were left on the table, didn't get small plates to eat the Drummies properly, got one refill of water toward the end, etc). I felt bad about this rating because I've read people enjoying the experience. However, this is what I experienced. The food is great. Service could be better.

Considering the restaurant was nearly empty, our drinks sat empty for quite some time. Dinner was nicely presented and the food was good - not exceptional "rave to your friends" good, but not bad. For 4 people our bill was $212 with tip. One person had two cocktails and another had a beer, the other two had soda and water. I feel like we paid a premium price for okay food and mediocre service.

I was there today to waste some time before a chat with my mother's care team at Mayo, and really enjoyed the place.
