First place I gp when visiting Rochester- the BEST Artichoke French…read more Our Server, Cheryl is always great.

We came here for dinner and had a nice time. I had never heard of Chicken French before and learned…read moreit's a local dish that a lot of people enjoy, which meant I naturally had to order it for my entree -- it was very tasty, kind of like a chicken piccata with a lemony butter sauce. The caesar salad that accompanied it was also yummy, the croutons were crispy and the veggies were fresh. They have a nice wine list too. Just a note, you probably don't want to come here for conversation or if people in your party have hearing issues -- we sat in the patio room and it was so incredibly loud, we couldn't hear a thing. The front room/bar area was also very noisy.

Decent local spot with your typical bar food options. I don't recall what the others in my group…read morehad but I ordered a burger and fries with a Genny Kolsch and I had no complaints!

However, our drinks were served and our orders taken shortly. The wait was not long and we were not in a hurry. Everything (burger, tuna melt, chicken fingers, soup, and more) were just as requested and each was tasty. Great food and customer service.

So first off the old mill is a really cool location. Still has some of the old millworks inside…read more Lots of cool spaces as opposed to one big open room. There was a youth softball team celebrating the end of the season upstairs so it was a bit loud, but fun. It's right on the creek and there's plenty of outside seating and picnic tables so if the weathers nice you can get your food and beverages and head outside. The bar tenders were all good, let us try a couple samples to make sure we were gonna like what we ordered. There's a separate spot to order food and the young girls working the food spot were unenthusiastic... We ordered the chorizo poutine, Roni Stark Pizza and Tampa Bay Bustdown burger. The pizza was good, honey drizzle was a nice touch, but the poutine and burger were the clear winners. Chorizo gravy had a good kick, and there were big chunks of cheese curd, nice. The burger had 2 smashed patties, nice crispy edges and a ton of flavor. The Gouda cheese and bacon they are using are both high quality. A lot of variety of beers on tap, not all IPAs which was nice for someone that isn't an IPA guy. Tried 2 lager, an ale and a pilsner they had on tap and I'd drink any of them again.

Convenient to my parent's home when I visit Rochester but not a place I would return…read more Pros: + Great for groups. Ample space both upstairs and downstairs. + 2 of the 4 sours I had were decent. + Great for kiddos as they have an outdoor space that's family and dog friendly. It was very busy the day we went with a fun atmosphere outside. + Historic venue with a nice restoration for the brewery. The less great: + The setup means long waits. Having to wait in line for beers in a completely packed brewery with two bartenders is not a way to run a business. They need to consider a new strategy for ensuring they can accommodate the volume they are currently doing. + Had a bite of someone's burger and found it more or less inedible. + My parents had attempted to organize a large family gathering on the day we were there and while I wasn't involved in the planning, there seemed to be missteps and miscommunications along the way that weren't met with much empathy or customer service in mind. Too many great breweries in Rochester to waste time on spots that aren't going to ensure guest satisfaction. Great location though! This place is so, so busy it's obvious the east side isn't brewery saturated (somehow) quite yet.

The food was served quickly, hot, and cooked to perfection! I was very surprised with how fantastic the gravy on the poutine was seasoned with rosemary. Omg it was so good! The beesting pizza was also a crowd pleaser!!! Our table was frequently cleaned off by staff walking by. Every staff member was very attentive. Definitely going back here again!

I've had their fish and chips in the past, which were meh compared to what I've experienced elsewhere, but that is where I will finish complaining and start complimenting for example the tacos here. They are amazing, as is the poutine, the onion rings, and the Smash burger--I got the Angry Sterling, which is a flavour explosion with delicious toppings. And the drink, the Toronto cocktail, was amazing--a strong enough flavour of whisky with just enough of the liqueurs to make it not sting going down. Oh, and I haven't spoken about the live music yet. There was a guy playing guitar who was taking requests, and--and I'm saying this as a person who isn't too big a fan of acoustic guitar music--was pretty good. His passion alone made me start to bop my head and tap my foot to the music. Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the nice trails, beach, and a historic house in a neighbourhood that reminds me of the bridal path.

Get the French onion soup. They make it with a grilled goat cheese sandwich instead of the standard croutons. And the cheese is super thick and rich and the broth was delicious. Will 100% get this again. The haddock fish fry was good, crispy but thinner parts of the fish were a little dry. The beef on weck was awesome. Very tender sliced beef, soft roll with lots of salt and caraway. Horseradish sauce was creamy and just hot enough to add some kick. Au Jus on the side so the roll didn't sog out. VERY good.

The staff is fun and helpful, the menu is solid, and the burgers are stellar. If you're sharing, they'll even offer to cut the burger for you which is such a thoughtful touch, because doing it yourself can quickly turn into a big ole mess! They have a great selection of beers on tap and bottled, plus cocktails and other drinks. The customers are characters in the best way, which just adds to the charm. It's also a little bigger inside than I thought. I'll definitely be back. Street parking is available.
