Restaurants near Mcquillan Fields

Twigs is one of our go to restaurants. The food is good and reasonably priced. Lots of choices and I’ve liked all of the. The outdoor patio is very pleasant and surprisingly private.

This restaurant is in a beautifully renovated train station just across the river from downtown with plenty of free parking. The service was extremely attentive, but not intrusive. Non-alcoholic cocktails are offered and the two we tried were lovely. Mojito is not in the menu, which is surprising for a Cuban-Italian fusion restaurant, but I ordered it and it was delicious. Every dish was exceptional. We started with the burrata, a wonderful combination of burrata and tomato on toast on a mint pesto with pea tendrils and a slice of guava. Ample for 4 to share. The Caesar salad was unreconstructed. While this was not traditional, the anchovy infused crouton crumbs pulled it together. Because it was primarily the core section of romaine, it was more bitter than I would have liked, but still a good choice. Outstanding was the short ribs in risotto dish, but the two fish entrees we ordered were superb. Our server, Lydia, suggested the char over the corvina and she was right. I ordered the corvina, and it truly met the mark for what I wanted. Tasting the char, I could see why she tried to direct me to the char, but I loved both. We ordered a trio of cannoli for dessert. I love cannoli and these were among the best I have ever had with a light lemony flavor. There are several excellent restaurants in Rochester. We’ve been to Lat 44, Mill Valley Kitchen, Thai Pop, Chesters and Terza and would recommend them all. Our Parador, which has only been open a year, is a fitting addition and won’t disappoint. In a city where, as patients at Mayo are a captive audience, it has been surprising. While the background music could have been toned down a bit, it didn’t interfere with easy conversation.

Benjamin was our waiter last night and he was incredible in service, personality and just overall experience throughout dinner! The oysters were absolutely amazing with knowledgeable recommendations for variety. There were 2 of us who had the Chef's fish recommendation which was delicious and another had osso buco and don't miss out on the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies with flaked sea salt at the end for dessert for the table!

Large portions; good drinks; food was tasty, with lots of options; Service was great. Very loud though.

All was amazing! We both had the cioppino and it was filled with seafood-delicious with just the right amount of heat. The Old Fashions were wonderful, as well! Our server, Sean, couldn’t have been better!! Can’t wait to go back!
