I wanted to review something, and what better than my favorite bakery in my hometown... perhaps the country...
This place has been a family staple since we first got cable TV in the 80s. Back then Wegmans didn't have its delightful bagels, and it was…More »

I like it when a server gives you that look.
What look? Oh, you know... that look that says "mmhmm, thats f**king good, yer gonna love it."
We got that look the other day, and it was spot on. See, I'm not a true lover of heavy food. Sure I'll eat it…More »
The office just got that much-needed makeover, and it looks fab! Apparently his design-expert wife came in and put the whip to the pony. Now its modern country kitsch, in a way only upstate NY could do. No more crappy-generic waiting rooms here!
I dont like getting my teeth done. Ever. But Dr. Shriro is a top notch guy. Hes charming, affable,… Read more »

Really dig the brunch specials here, very solid.
I also like the decor; who says a diner has to look like a PoMo pastiche of 1976?
What I didn't like was how the waiter tries to tell me I got cut a deal on the mimosas, when the menu says its included…More »
Because of the first review on here, we went to Alfie's specifically for the prime rib sammie...
And all descriptions apply! That was one seriously good au jus, and the meat itself was a quality: not fatty, light marble, tender, and of course rare.…More »
Oh Two Vine.
A Rochester staple for many years now, Two Vine delivers a credible New American experience in upstate NY, far from the state's gastronomy center in the NYC. The menu has remained consistent over the years, excelling in standards such as…More »
I'm surprised this restaurant hasn't been reviewed yet, what with its proximity to 2 Vine.
For those who don't know, Eros is a casual spot on the corner of Charlotte and Matthews streets, right around the block from 2 Vine and Spot Coffee. The…More »
I think these guys long took the "best Thai in Ithaca" mantle long ago, and a recent stop back into my hometown reaffirmed that fact.
The food is fairly priced, and spiciness is actual - not merely a suggestion. Ive had a ton of Thai in California,…More »
Back in the day when I lived around the block from here, I would come up during the days I didn't have class to see Louie P's Ferrari or Lamborghini Diablo out front. See back then the Rochester "Family" frequented this place heavily. They were…More »
I came here for a late night (right before 10PM, when the kitchen closes) meal and drinks with old friends.
Gotta say, the bartender made it extra special with her humor, wit and fantastic service. We ate at the bar, since apparently a good friend of…More »
A solid Hilton location.
That said, why are you going to Niagara falls, really? I was last there for a Bachelor party on the cheap. For that, this Hilton was unexpectedly pricier than nicer digs in destinations like oh, VEGAS. But it works. A real…More »
If you like nice, clean, and modern digs to go with your dining don't visit this Duff's location.
However, you aren't at Duff's to get a bottle of Veuve to go with your crispy/saucy chicken meat and fat on sticks are you? Hence the 3 stars. Duff's…More »
Alright Italian on the West Side of Rochester.
Nothing terrible, but nothing to write to nonna about. Portions are huge, if thats your thing, and everything was fresh. I tried several seafood dishes, including the "calamari sicilian" which was mostly…More »

Here's what Cafe Centosette isn't: a place to have long lost friends sit down with you, bringing along their obnoxious ex-tina-using buddy while trying to have a more adult dinner with your partner's family friends who are older, and classier. Its…More »
