When I brought the scallops home they were slimy I should have went back that day but they were closed. I called back and the owner has terrible customer service skills, she must think everyone is trying to screw her over. I honestly was just calling to let her know they were bad and I wasn't even worried about my money back. She immediately got defensive saying how all of the restaurants got 40 pounds and no one said they were bad. I just don't want them to kill anyone with bad scallops. They have a smell and are slimy... I probably won't go back although they were nice the day of purchasing when resolving conflicts she could work on those customer service skills. Not everyone is there to screw you over. I had to throw away the scallops they smelt of amonia

I miss the bakery, maybe I am too biased?…read more This place was just pretentious and ridiculous. Portions are just so so miniscule. Thinnest sushi rolls I have ever seen. Normally they are $15, $10 at happy hour. Sushi nachos were worse than Nosh and again pretty small but not bad. Sushi tacos weren't tacos, they were just a few slices of fish and rice in a nori wrapper. Nothing was bad, but it was also not good. If I got that meal at Wegmans that would be about what I expect. I will say the the oysters were very large and probably a good spot for $1.. Nothing about this place was impressive to me, especially sitting at the bar for 30 minutes with my card sitting on the bill waiting for the bartender to cash us out. Tldr: pretentious, insanely overpriced, small portions, bland food, go to Wegmans.

Lento has been one of my go-tos for special celebrations for many years. It's the only restaurant…read morein Rochester I've found that pushes high-quality food, local ingredients and an always changing menu. Making reservations at 5pm, we were quickly seated at our requested location in the dining room. Due to being happy hour (5pm - 6pm), their oysters are $2 each. Choosing several, I found them enjoyable. Without any sauces, you can truly taste the pure oyster and all its flavours. A salad caught my eye; the Charred Spanish Octopus Salad was phenomenal. All the components worked beautifully together, and the octopus is one of the most tender octopus I've had anywhere. The Smoked Bluefish Salad was also phenomenal. Smokey bluefish served with a baguette and pickled red onions; this was a great starter. Only thing I wish they've done is toasted the slices of baguette. For mains, I opted in for their Pan Seared Wild Wolf Fish. This was cooked beautifully. The fish was tender, dense and moist. The side of blue crab, shiitake mushrooms & leek risotto with a lemon dill beurre blanc sauce was amazing. The sauce didn't overpower the natural taste of the fish and in fact elevated the entire dish. As for her, she opted in for the Potato Gnocchi. This was served with house-made pork sausage, chestnut mushrooms, tomato & Italian cheeses. A wonderful and rustic dish that's pure and taste like home. For dessert, we both ordered the Profiteroles. One with their house-made honey and pistachio ice cream and the other with their house-made strawberry sorbet. An excellent way to end and excellent meal. It's worth noting the service from Georgina and her helper Ally was impeccable. Georgina checked on us regularly, gave us great insight and was an overall pleasure. The quality of food, quality of service and overall atmosphere makes this one of my favourite restaurants.

This is one of our new (to us) favorite spots to go to and to bring our friends and family to that…read morehaven't tried it yet! Our first visit was in January and we've been back 2 more times already. The main dining room is down stairs. The bar area upstairs seems very lively and inviting as well, and I've heard there's patio seating we want to try in the late spring. Service was excellent and very attentive. We loved everything we tried. You can do things traditional tapas style or you can go the appetizer and entree route. We had the calamari to start and some cocktails. For our entrees we each ordered the "feature" of the evening -- my fiance got the steak and I got the salmon. My fiance is pretty 50/50 on how good his steak experiences are in restaurants and he was very satisfied with the entree he had. My salmon cakes were SO good, everything tasted very fresh. The server also did a great job recommending a white wine to pair with my meal. We finished off with our dessert, I had the flourless chocolate torte and my fiance had (I can't recall exactly) a banana cream cheese churro I think? The desserts were amazing every time we've gone. We've had more chances to try other tapas items, the arancini is delicious as well. Also of note was that we had a good group dining experience here in February for a family members birthday. Overall if you haven't tried this spot make sure you do!

I throughly enjoyed the salad - crisp greens, perfect dressing and hot, crispy calamari. The tuna bowl followed - flavor was spot on, but the tuna itself was disappointing - tasted thawed and texture was meh. The biggest disappointment with Tapas was just the location itself being down in a dark basement - not my favorite environment. Would try again when the weather is nice and their patio is open. Server was very nice!

I had made our…read morereservation for 5pm (earliest reservation time) and upon arrival we were the only ones there, with the exception of one patron eating and drinking at the bar. We were greeted by the hostess, that I believe was either the owner or part manager of the restaurant. She sat us down and gave us menus (didn't mention the specials) and then proceeded to go and turn on all of the Christmas decorations in the restaurant and tell us about her deals when purchasing all of them. Finally upon her return the waitress took our drink orders and when I asked she gave us the listing of specials for the evening. My niece had a specialty mocktail that was described as having a "hint" of lavender- turns out the other items were done with a hint and all my niece (and I tasted) was the strong presence of lavender. For appetizers we ordered fried calamari that came with the typical red sauce- the fried calamari was good, but nothing special. We also ordered the lamp lollipops for an additional app and let me just say- they were the BEST part about our dinner! Perfectly cooked to medium rare and seasoned and grilled to perfection. It was my neices first time trying them and she said she couldn't wait to have them again. For our main dishes, my niece had the penne vodka- which was "okay" but really lacked on favor, nothing really special about it. I honestly think she makes it better at home. For my entree I had the Salmon- which came with a very thick strawberry sauce over the top of it. My fish was cooked perfectly and tasted great- without the thick "strawberry like" sauce over the top of it (I ended up scraping it off of the fish. I also wasn't a fan of the black rice-it had a very off putting smell and after having my first taste decided one bite was enough.
