They surprised us with a complimentary glass of champagne for our anniversary. A thoughtful gesture. The wine list was solid, but I wish they had a sommelier to help with pairings for the tasting menu.

Been coming here for years. Christian P. always remembers us and checks in just the right amount. Makes you feel like a regular. That&rsquo;s why we keep coming back.

Quick lunch spot. Food&#39;s always hot and ready fast. Takeout&#39;s been easy every time. Just what you need when you&#39;re in a hurry.

That French onion soup is the real deal. Perfectly cheesy crust, rich broth that wasn&#39;t too salty. Exactly what you want when it&#39;s cold out.

The firecracker salmon was cooked perfectly, and I really appreciate how fresh the ingredients always taste here.

The server was really attentive, and the wine pairing was spot on. Good place for a birthday dinner.

As a celiac, I really appreciate their separate prep station. It made for a worry-free meal. The food was pretty good, too. A solid spot for anyone who needs to be careful.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s still a solid choice. The hot sandwiches are actually hot when they arrive, which is nice. Soups are always good. Just a reliable, upbeat spot for lunch.

The fish and chips are award-winning for a reason. The fish is cooked just right, and the mushy peas are a standout. 🐟

The Garbage Plate is a beast of a meal, seriously filling. Got the chicken and hamburger versions to try. The chicken one was my pick, messy and satisfying. Portions are huge, definitely shareable.

The menu&#39;s a fun mashup of Spanish tapas with global twists. We tried the Korean bulgogi and an Indian-inspired pizza &ndash; both were surprisingly solid. A creative spot for sure.

Been coming here for years. The garbage plate is still the same, and that&#39;s a good thing. The whole place just feels familiar and comfortable, like a piece of Rochester you can count on.

Staff&#39;s always friendly, service is quick. Grabbed a coffee and a sandwich last Tuesday, they had my order ready in no time. Makes a difference when you&#39;re in a rush.

Parking was surprisingly easy for downtown. Found a spot right out front. The street parking and nearby lots are a lifesaver.

The booths are nicely spaced, so it felt pretty private. We had a relaxed dinner there. The atmosphere is decent for a quiet conversation.

Been coming here for years, and the fried fish sandwich is always solid. Can&#39;t beat the location either.

Been coming here for years, and Gio&#39;s always got the right call. He remembered I liked the shrimp tacos last time and suggested them again. They&#39;re just as good as ever. That kind of consistency keeps me coming back.

The ricotta toast was a standout. Light, creamy, and the bread had a perfect crisp. The mussels in white wine sauce were good, but the toast is what I&#39;ll remember. Portions are just right for trying a few things.
