The good: decor, staff friendliness, menu size…read more Issues: construction- not their fault. May be affecting business. Salad- switching to chopped, lettuce free salad. Again, being cautious? Slow service- we can't see the kitchen, but for a small menu the service was too slow leading us to question organization and other things. Drinks- the prices are astronomical. Two gin and tonics were $38. That's outrageous! Food prep- In concept good. But it's not carried out well. Stuffed chicken should be sliced thinner or flattened then rolled. No problems with fried selections. Staff- need more thorough training before tending bar or serving tables. It's a speakeasy, so an inexperienced bartender should not be left on their own. If you do it well at justified prices, regardless of road construction, people will come. This establishment could use professional consultation. If they listen, could be amazing, but needs work.

The creativity, craftsmanship, and sheer effort that go into bringing each concept to life are truly extraordinary. One of the highlights of every visit is seeing Tina, Jake, and Nick behind the bar. They're incredibly welcoming, and their cocktail skills are second to none. The banana rum is nothing short of magical, but I'm also a big fan of their gin, sotol, and aquavit. Bravo to the team on the current theme, Wild Wild Weiss! I'm looking forward to making my way through the entire cocktail menu.

Honestly, the cocktails were the least successful part. Overly sweet, overly tart, bourbon was not great. They are a distilling company and use their own spirits at the speakeasy bar. Personally, I think you are asking for trouble trying to make bourbon outside of Kentucky, but to each his own. Vodka was the best of the spirits we tried. Next month they are doing wild west theme...Giddyup!

Sombra may not have a lot to offer, but Rum Runners definitely makes the trip worth it!

My first visit and I was excited to try the Korean Pork Belly Bahn Mi - anything with pork belly!…read moreIgnoring the faux pas that bahn mi hails from Vietnam rather than the stated Korea, I was hopeful. What a disappointment! I was served a 6" soft bun with a mere 1/2" of something inside. Pork belly which is the advertised main ingredient was more like pulled pork and it was shredded to smithereens. I could not detect any pickled vegetables nor spice that you'd expect. Cucumber pieces were evident as was the cilantro and garlic mayo. I opted fo forgo the fries and had the soup which was Tomato Basil - tasty but accompanied with the cellophane soda biscuits one expects at a cheap diner. The saddest part was the price of $19. Nothing in this meal warranted that. It was a $10 sandwich at best. Adding insult to injury would be to swap out the fries for a salad for an additional $5. A bit steep compared to most other restaurants. Plus the repeated mentioning of a charge of $5 for splitting on the menu is off-putting.

It's a nice, clean place that honestly could use a professional interior decorator, but the staff was friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a party of six and no one complained. The short rib pasta dish had a nice bite to it it was very flavorful and they didn't skimp on the short rib portion size. The steak sandwich was excellent and according to our friends, the pork chop was one of the best they've ever eaten. And while we didn't get to experience it, apparently there's a speakeasy in the basement. Cool! I imagine the locals in the area know about this place but if you are not a local ( we were not) it's worth the drive. Just don't blink when driving near Pelton road or you'll miss it.

Our server was Bella, she couldn't be sweeter. She was very helpful when we had questions about the menu and accommodated our requests. We started with the bread and butters, herb butter and goat cheese butter, it was good. We were hoping to get the Burrata with peach, but it was sold out (our reservation was at 5:30, btw). We ordered cocktails including the Fireside Old Fashioned, which were good. I got the Pineapple Express, but I asked for tequila instead of Mezcal. It had a nice kick. We also had an espresso martini which was good and not made with anything creamy (in case you care). I got the ribeye French dip with fries (more like wedges and yummy!) The sandwich had Horseradish sauce, arugula, and pickled red onions. I enjoyed it without the au jus even. My boyfriend got 3 carne asada tacos, bigger than the average taco, and they were decent, not bad and I also realize that this is not a Mexican restaurant. He also got French onion soup, which he likes to get often. He said it was bland and not very cheesy. Our friends both ordered flat breads. Pepperoni and hot honey, and Prosciutto and melon, both really liked what they ordered. I wish we had time to go and check out the speakeasy downstairs, next time we come to Pine Knob, we will come extra early and check it out.

Their menu is a small book of interesting, and priced as such, cocktails. Each has a fun name. They do offer a small list of beer and wine, and obviously you can order a standard drink as well. They have a few snack offerings, but there is no full menu. A friend and I went at the right time, the late end of happy hour on a Friday, but before any crowd. We did not have a reservation, but they were quiet when we arrived and we were seated immediately. They do have a 90 minute table limit for busy nights. The service was fantastic all around. We both enjoyed our drinks and the atmosphere. This may be the best place in Rochester for a drink.

I love the little speak easy bars popping up all over the city, it is a fun way to use the space. During the day, this is a hallway that leads to a barber shop, then turns into a bar during the evening. I loved the dark aesthetic, with the black lace draped tiny lamps at each table and the slightly spooky Halloween vibe. The people working here were incredibly nice and helpful and very eager to serve drinks and make this a fun evening. We came as a pre-dinner cocktail, since I am trying to eat around the city and visit as many establishments as I can. I liked their very themed menu, and their additional Halloween drinks. They had a lot of very creative types of infused liquors to try, ranging from candy infused to meat infused alcohols. But we went for the very standard espresso martini (since we are trying them at as many places as possible) and a very tropical martini. The espresso one was good, not quite at the top of my list, but I am a very big fan of Dessert Oasis, which is right above this bar and I am told shares owners. The tropical one, called For My Fans, was excellent. I would get that one again. This seems like a fun place to go, especially with friends, for quick a drink and to try new flavors.

Cocktails galore, wide choice of liquors for your own preferences and of course wine and beer. The space is dark, but well lit, moody but expressive. Obviously a play on the owner's heritage, I want to say he told me this but I could be making it up. The service was nothing short of impeccable, and the bartender made sure she understood my likes and dislikes when making my drink. I usually go on some random kick for a while (old fashioned, revolvers, vodka gimlets, sambuca, etc) and she was fantastic. I hear they moved to an event only space now, but if you get a chance do go.

We had to uncomfortably wave at him because he was too busy entertaining everybody else aside from us. Not a, "are you guys ok? Can I get anything else for you?" Nope, we became an afterthought. He'd rather entertain people who can't order a proper dry martini correctly. I dunno, maybe he deemed We didnt belong there. I guess thats how they weed out people they dont want going in there. Im extremely disappointed. I had high hopes of this place being classy, but then ended up realizing they'd rather entertain pretentious patrons. Find me elsewhere.

However I was pleasantly surprised when I challenged the head mixologist to create something refreshing based on a few flavor preferences I shared.
