I was just visiting and I don’t know the standards of food in Rochester, but I would say the food here was good. Not great. Overall, I would say give this place a try. The menu options were interesting and simple. Most of what I tired was pretty flavorful. I liked the chowder and the shrimp slider. I didn’t care for the risotto or the olive bread and fig dessert. The service was good and it was nice interacting with the chef’s. If I lived here I would probably give it one more try.

The food was flavorful and fulling without feeling heavy afterwards. Oysters were fresh and delicious. Wonderful customer service. The restaurant gave a home like feeling with the open kitchen. Definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Worth every one if it’s five stars. The service was amazing and attentive with each server listening to us chat about our lives as they brought us each dish as it finished in the kitchen. The dishes themselves were full of flavor and the best that I’ve had of each of them.
I personally thought the oysters were the best I’ve had our of NYC and would be happy to have them every time I visit. The clam chowder was more buttery and less creamy than other versions but the butter and salt added to the in the shell clams and salmon in such a way that brought the dish from great to an experience. The shrimp sliders were fantastic, a perfect blend if shrimp, mayo, cucumber, celery, lemon, and dill to make a refreshing delightful treat. The seafood risotto was one of the cheesiest I’ve ever had having pesto dance on the plate with lobster, each happily holding their own combined with the parmesan.
I will absolutely be back every time I’m in Rochester. The service makes you feel like family and the food makes you feel like you’ve found a home.

Absolutely incredible. We got nearly everything on the menu (sharing with the table) and every dish was better than the last. Seriously fabulous and worth the wait! We almost never leave reviews. It’s that good.

A phenomenal meal and great atmosphere. The shrimp salad and lobster and crab risotto were standouts, and the corn cake for dessert was unbelievably delicious. This is a tiny 16-seater, so show up early or expect to wait! We will be back—can’t wait to try everything on the menu!

Excellent cuisine. I call it cuisine as it is made with personality of the chefs which there is plenty. Casual yet fancy and class with cursing. Nothing better. Menu changes for variety and change of focus in a beautiful crescendo. No reservations. Just get lucky.

What an wonderful and delightful meal! We tried the rabbit pate which had a complex flavor without the metallic taste. Love the combo with the sweet pickled vegetables and sour mustards. The rock shrimp sliders were similar to lobster rolls but whoa I love it’s creamy, subtly sweet and savory. Absolutely delicious. The baby octopus….let me say I could lick the plate if I was allowed too lol. The charred flavors from the grilled octopus gave the sauce this smokiness. The octopus was well done – not too rubbery. The oysters were fresh and refreshing. If you’re into food, this place won’t disappoint. Amazing food is not easy to find in Rochester but this is one of them for sure.

By far one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. Limited menu which means super fresh ingredients and they did not disappoint. Everything we ate was delicious. We had the Shrimp Rolls, Mushroom Bruchetta and a special tonight of a Branzino Filet and they were all so well balanced and well seasoned. We tried raw oysters for the first time and they seemed to melt in your mouth. The oyster itself was ice cold and so fresh tasting with the scallion and tuna on top. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is close knit for sure but cozy at the same time. You warm up to it fast. The food is made right in front of you in these super cool steam powered Wok looking pans haha… I really can’t say enough good things about this place. We will be back and SOON!!

Went right at opening and the owner and staff were taste testing dishes for the evening. It was great to see how much the owner and staff cared about the food.. Lily was the server and she was knowledgeable on the wine and food selection. I noticed they do allow bringing your own wine if that interests you. The oysters came predressed, which I didn’t like at first but changed my mind once I ate, just don’t put lemon on the vinegar dressed ones! Mussels were awesome, could’ve drank the broth. Octopus was actually a pasta dish served in a red sauce, doesn’t say this on the menu, I only ordered because I saw the staff sample it. The clams looked amazing but was unfortunately too full to try. All in all great experience and will be back!
