    Appetizer and special menus

    it was probably one of the coldest days in Rochester in a long time it had snowed and we are almost ready to cancel our reservations , but I'm glad we did not! This place was well worth the trouble to get there ! Friendly staff and attentive servers and great food! My daughter had heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and she decided to invite us to try it with her . I bought gift cards in which their special was when you buy $250 to get $50 free One of the best meals I have had in Rochester! My daughter ordered the duck my other daughter her husband ordered the 20 oz. waygu A5 beef special and I ordered the Dover sole, my 5-year-old grandson ordered the filet mignon lol! He eats a lot! It did take a while to get our food, but once we got it, we were very happy with our selections, it was very enjoyable!

    Dinner at Patron Saint
    Bets C.

    We had a wonderful dinner, the food and drinks were outstanding. One of the best Manhattan's my husband has ever had. The ribeye was again one of the best steaks we've eaten. The only complaint we have was we sat at the round table there were 4 of us and it was hard for us to talk that night. However that will not stop us from returning. The service 10 out of 10! It was very cozy feel and we enjoyed our time there.

    Filet, Mac and cheese and Showstopper (cocktail)

    The atmosphere was chill and inviting--perfect for a date night or a girls' night out. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the mac and cheese was absolutely amazing. Our water glasses were never empty and the secrets were always checking in. The drinks were delicious, and their espresso martini (not pictured) was the perfect way to top off the meal. Would highly recommend!

    Patron Saint was an experience! The restaurant is stunning! Its designed well, and definitely photo worthy. The food stands up the to the pricing. The appetizers, the sides and the entrees, from onion rings to the steaks, every item on the menu was a win from everyone at our table. The cocktail menu is exciting, and the drinks are well balanced. Even the free bread (from amazing grains) is truly memorable. The brussels sprouts are a must try as is the soothsayer if youre having a cocktail. Make sure to order the crab cakes too! You really cant go wrong.

    When you only get a select few days of re-exploring your hometown per year, ya gotta do it up big! Enter: Patron Saint. I've heard about this new(ish) spot from many a friend and family member, and was impressed by the level of service, style, menu, and cocktails. My girlfriend and I opted for girl dinner and drinks at the bar - this is the perfect place for such an evening. I went with a truly stellar, herbaceous cocktail with tequila to get things started. After some time, we ordered the chilled shrimp, wedge salad, and a side of fries. I really cannot recommend this course of action enough. While I look forward to going back for a proper seated dinner, I honestly would order every single one of these dishes again. I went on what the bar staff called "their quietest night since opening" and have to say, the vibes were still fun and vibrant. There's complimentary valet but I also found easy parking right out front. As someone who will always and forever go hard for ROC's food and beverage scene, it really makes me happy to see this kind of investment happening in the heart of downtown. As the center of the city continues to evolve and change, it's nice to have concrete examples to give the "downtown Rochester is dead" hater crowd. More of this! More of everything for Rochester! Thank you for the fab experience, PS.

    Our server was great! She was very knowledgeable and personable. The ambiance was also really nice - very classy. There is a big fake tree in the middle of the restaurant that looks real (I had to ask our server if it was). The benches are all green velvet, which is very cool! Our food was good. My husband got a steak and said it was cooked perfectly. I got the risotto and it was good, but almost too rich. I would come here again for a special occasion.

    Our second time here and we know it won't be our last! We were seated promptly in the 2nd dining room, of which we will always try to reserve, it seems so much quieter and intimate than the main dining room. We were immediately greeted by Trenton and we were very impressed that he remembered us from our anniversary dinner! As always he was a joy to chat with, a very personable young man! Our server this time was Megan who was also very knowledgeable and helpful! Once again the food was impeccable! The bone marrow appetizer was out of this world and highly recommend! I had the PS Burger with a side of truffle fries and I was not expecting a burger to be as elevated as this! It was hands down the best burger and fries I have ever had! Hubby had the filet which was beyond tender and flavorful! The crème brûlée was the perfect ending to the entire meal! Patron Saint is very easily becoming our favorite place to go in the Rochester area! You HAVE to try it!

    I went to Patron Saint for my birthday in December and left disappointed. I waited to write this review, but two months later, I still feel the same. Pros: - Beautiful ambiance--the tree and dark green velvet seating were nice touches. - Food was great. - Wine was good but pricey (cheapest bottle was around $75). Cons: Despite a 7:30 PM reservation booked a month in advance; we weren't seated until 8:20pm. Our appetizers arrived at 9:14 PM (timestamped from my pictures), and we didn't get our entrées until three hours into dinner. Meanwhile, friends at the bar (who arrived after us) had drinks and apps and finished before we even got our starters. Service was chaotic, likely because they prioritized a large private party. Given that SCN Hospitality owns this place, they should know how to staff properly, especially during the holidays. Even with comped apps and desserts, our bill for four people was over $300. The food was great, but the service was a disaster. I wouldn't return unless it's a weekday in the off-season--hopefully, they'll have things figured out by then.

    We attended the RCR cocktail pairing dinner at Patron Saints and it was phenomenal. Once again, decor is just beautiful. Service was amazing, food was delicious, and whiskey cocktail pairings were top tier! Wonderful time indeed!

    I love the ambiance and design. The location is great, at the heart of downtown with the view of Parcel 5. Their service was great. Food was average but a little pricey. The portion could be a little more.

    Filet with crab bearnaise sauce, highly recommended
    Tony L.

    First time at this relatively new restaurant. Parking is easy, use the old midtown garage and get a parking voucher when you leave. Everything works well, the hostess was very accommodating and the wait staff was excellent. Our server made some great suggestions and was very attentive. The pace of the meal was great and the courses were very well timed. Cocktails were very well made and very elegantly served in antique glasses? The shrimp cocktail is massive and cooked to perfection. Our steaks were perfect as I was hoping for. We split a chopped salad which was a good idea since it was so big. The side dish of roasted carrots was unbelievable. Not sure how they get carrots to be that good! All portions were generous. I wanted to take pics of everything but I didn't. We will come back, definitely. Well done Patron Saint staff!

    Kansas City Steak

    Great service- very attentive. Always cleaning up. Filling water. Ready to see if we need anything and asking how our food was. Don't go if you don't have the funds to spend. Very pricey but you know what you're getting into when you book a resy. Well worth the money.

    First visit here and was quite impressed. Tastefully appointed and the staff were all friendly and…read morehelpful. You need to know the secret to getting past the gatekeeper as this is a speakeasy setting. (Figure it out on your own, that's half the fun)!!! Once inside there was a smooth jazz group performing. The music was a lovely backdrop to the setting and not overwhelmingly loud that I would be screaming to be heard. You can have a normal level conversation and still enjoy the music. There were comfortable cushioned chairs with pub sized tables for seating. We sat at the bar as all table s were taken. The energetic bartenders filled up in on all the idiosyncrasies of the place and happily answered all of our many questions. They told us that it was quiet for a Thursday night and that the weekends were much larger crowds which would not appeal to me as I'm not looking for a club scene atmosphere. I was happily comfortable. The drinks are creative and include interesting combinations of ingredients. We shared three appetizers, the sliders (my favorite), spring rolls (the side sauce was great), and the tacos with a tasty crema drizzled over them. The staff let us tour the dining room, basically a Ramon Santiago gallery. (The angel was my favorite). We went to see the ballroom as well as I had attended a wedding there 37 years ago while it was still the University Club!!! It was the same lovely room I remember and brought back wonderful memories. My friend was staying there while she is having some work done at her home so got to see the guest room she was in. As expected from a historic building large windows overlooking downtown Rochester, a gas fireplace, and soaker tub. Beautiful space. Some logistic issues with heat and fan not working so this was her second room that hopefully the new owner will address. We ran into their new executive chef and they have done a great job in hiring him. He told us about future ideas they have for putting their thumb print on things and they sound quite exciting. I thanked him for the time he spent speaking with us and appreciated his enthusiasm and forward thinking. All in all a most enjoyable time at the Inn and would recommend a visit by anyone of any age. So glad we have a community that cares for its historic buildings and their importance to our identity

    Love this intimate space. Perfect respite from the busy-ness of Jazz Fest. Enjoyed the friendly…read moreservice from Josh, the bartender the two nights we stopped in. And I must say, a much better Manhattan than I got at Max's.

The bar has what I look for - interesting crafted cocktails (including specials), a good liquor selection, and fun people behind the bar with whom to engage. I can understand why my friends liked the place. We did have some food here, but I'm more enamored with the drinks. We ordered hummus, which was supposed to come with bread (they say naan, I think it was pita, but that's fine) and veggies. It did come out with the bread. When we asked about the veggies, we were given 2 different answers by 2 different people. One implied folks didn't always want them, another said the chef forgot and apologized. The hummus had an unexpected flavor, and when I checked the fine print on the menu it says, "chefs choice flavor." We didn't order anything else here, but we saw several orders of wings go by, and they looked really good too. On a Saturday afternoon, get here early, because if can fill up quickly.
