Best Seasonal Restaurants in Rochester

Classic Italian in all ways. Our waiter guided us with the menu and was wonderful. We had the homemade pasta: the special lobster tagliatelle for me, pappardelle for hubby who substituted the chicken for walleye. The handmade pasta tasted just like my late mother’s. You can request the hand made pasta with other dishes if you wish. You should NOT pass it up. The walleye was a don’t miss also. Lobster was very tender and plentiful. Just a great experience.

It was an enchanted first date for us, thanks to the Valentine's atmosphere provided. We had a perfect time. Our server was amazing. Food was perfect (I had the filet-rare, she had the scallops). We weren't rushed (8:15 reservation-we left at 9:45). She agreed to a second date, and I thank the restaurant in part for that as well. We will definitely return often. Thank you, Latitude 44!!

We had a wonderful Valentine breakfast at Five West. Loved the strawberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast special & Love Me Mimosas. The food was delicious.

Wonderful meal and loved the “extra” cocktail to soothe my raspy voice on a snowy evening. Great service and husband’s birthday surprise dinner was outstanding like always!

Our second visit to Bleu Duck. As before, very friendly and polished professional service. We had appetizers as small plates this time. The meatballs, potato skins, mussels, and especially the crab cake were delicious. The Rose Frost cocktail was wonderful and the old fashioned was sublime. The Rieseling was a.perfect accompaniment for my seafood. The sherry with dessert was luscious. Pricey, but another wonderful visit. We will return.
