This is a hidden GEM in Rochester, NY! It is not a "pub" where the bar is the main focal point. It's in the back but is much more a fine dining type restaurant and well worth the visit. We had the twin 3oz filet, crab cake, mashed potato dish special and it was out of this world! We finished it off with peanut butter pie and coffee which was the perfect ending to an amazing meal with my husband!
Highly recommend!

All was wonderful from the reservation on phone ... greeted at the door. Waiter and bus staff very nice friendly and courteous ... restaurant is well decorated with a nice warm feel. Menu is exceptional with many traditional items prepared in other ways. I can't wait to visit again.

Nice atmosphere. A little crammed in though. Bumping into other customers as your sitting there eating. My thoughts on the staff and bar tender are as such. The server. Was amazing very attentive at the right times. And the lady whom i believe to be one of the owners was polite and kind. The bar tender was very good. The drink i got though sadly was a bit off. The olive juice in the martinis was old and tasted off. The food... The appetizer was a perfect combination of smokey and cheesey and the balsamic glaze was a nice finish touch to amplify the notes of the mozzarella and prosciutto. Was thoroughly impressed wirh the dish being a chef myself. This set my sights too high I believe as the main dish was sadly sub par to anything ive ever had. As seen from the pics the presentation was sloppy like really sloppy, not even bordering on the thoughts or look of rustic. I ordered the duck. Now i will give them credit for the portion size, although it was cold and the "gravy" which i assumed to be an attempt on a demi glaze reduction, was not good at all. The sauce had a skin on it and tasted terrible. Sadly took away from the duck all together and ruined the dish atop the already sad presentation. The vegtables were nice. My friend's dish was actually very tasty. Chicken Alexander I believe. But then again from the pics you can see the sad sloppy set up as if it was from a buffet. Now being a chef my veiws and taste are different as such. But when im charged 25 dollars for a dish it could be done with a little more finesse. Like i said atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. But could be a very amazing experience if the kitchen stepped up a little more.
