    The food was excellent. We thought we would have an option for an appetizer rather than a desert on the date nite special. The waitress brought one small ice cream which surprised us we each didn't get one. Overall, great experience

    We had a wonderful experience @ Chez Bojii. Our server, Ezekiel, was very attentive and kept us entertained throughout dinner. Our food was outstanding and prepared to order. The atmosphere was festive but not overwhelming from a volume standpoint. I will always make a point of planing a “dinner night” here when visiting Rochester in the future.

    What a wonderful experience. Food is creative and delicious and made to order. Fresh and organic; beautifully prepared. Most importantly the ambiance is warm and friendly. Another patron literally shared his appetizer with me. The food is globally inspired. Thank you Chef for a great meal. If you like Sangria; it is delicious. La piece de resistence a home made glass of port. This restaurant is a gem.

    We had 7:30 reservations and unfortunately they were out of both entrees that my husband I ordered and it wasn’t even busy and was only 7:30 pm. I was informed about my entrée immediately, but it was about 20 minutes later that my husband was informed they were out of the filet also. The chef came over and the decision was for him to just create something. Which was lamb chops with one little piece of lobster and one undercooked scallop. They did give us a free desert which was delicious, but overall disappointed in the entrees. The lobster nachos were delicious though! Relaxing atmosphere, but the staff need to communicate better and they need to order more food so they aren’t running out at 7:30. Not sure I’ll be back, especially for the price.

    Not a good experience. The food was average at best. Unhappy with being told our shrimp appetizer came with 4 shrimp and then only getting 2. There were 3 in our party and we were going to share. Server told us the shrimp were large, so Chef was only serving 2. Refused to accommodate our request for one more (even after we offered to pay for one more) because Chef refused to do it despite their mistake. Can't say how many times we were told Chef this or Chef that. Not accommodating at all. At the very least, if you are going to insist on being referred to as Chef, you should learn how to cook like one. Overall, ambiance and attitude was just like the name - bougie. For the food, we've had better from strip mall restaurants.

    This is probably the best food in Rochester. Short ribs were fall off the bone tender, the lamb was cooked to perfection. The flavors were complex and not easy to place (I.e. could not be easily recreated by an amateur), but definitely delicious. I highly recommend and will continued to go to this restaurant for special occasions.

    The server smelled bad and it tainted the whole experience. The food was good, but some of the dishes missed the mark of greatness. I don’t think salmon belongs in a bouillabaisse - a sturdy whitefish would have gone better. Some of the pricing for off menu items was surprisingly high. The atmosphere of the place is nice (if not for the aroma around the waiter, unfortunately).
