    Great dining experience! This was our first time having dinner at Rochester Bistro. It had a very laid back atmosphere. Our server was very attentive, explained the specials of the day, and made sure we were taken care of. He recommended the Amaretto Teramisu. It was excellent. We will definitely be back.

    The food was excellent as per usual. My seat at the table was a little in the main walkway with how it was situated. It’s generally a bit noisy, but not horrible. Overall this is one of my go-to spots in Downtown Rochester.

    Very good time. Ordered a handful of Appetizers and martinis and it was all good. Nice romantic lighting for couples but I was there with friends. We sat at the bar. Clean, cozy and classy place. We were dressed a casual and a little bit dressy. Great service from staff. Thank you

    Overall good venue with descent wine selections. Escargot was not really what I was expected and prefer authentic French style. Coconut shrimp taste ok but shrimp itself did not taste fresh and may need better process to melt from frozen. Service was good.
