We drove over an hour from Rochester for Flight Night and it was absolutely worth the trip. Even though we showed up earlier than our 7 PM reservation, the staff seated us quickly and set the tone for a great night. But the true standout of the entire experience? Gina. She was genuinely phenomenal. Her energy, her explanations, her timing… she paced each course perfectly so we could enjoy every flight without feeling rushed. She was warm, fun, and honestly one of the best servers we’ve ever had. We even asked to speak to the owner just to compliment her because she made the night unforgettable. Now for the food — we tried a lot, and it was such a fun way to sample the menu. Drinks: The Martini Flight and Cello Flight were both hits. Everything was delicious, and the fall-themed flavors?

I’m not one to do reviews but here we go… first time last night and let me say…WOW. My girlfriend and I had our second anniversary there and let me say it was an absolute pleasure. We both had the prime rib, banana peppers, shrimp…my goodness everything food wise was just delightful. If there’s a way to sell this place I’d say it’s on its service. The owner himself made rounds and made every single person in the house feel as if they were family. Our server Gina, simply spectacular. She was authentic and knew the menu like the back of her hand. Not only did she orchestrate our way around the menu with nothing less than perfection, she was also able to turn me on to not one but two wines when I’m a beer guy!!! She made us feel loved and warm, and at the end of the meal we revealed it was ou

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Ron Tebo · Jan 2026

Right away, the food was unpleasant. The prime rib was utterly unacceptable. The cut was dry and lacked flavor. The Au Ju had a taste that I can't explain; however, it was horrible. The juice, as seen in the photo, was completely tasteless. The portions at the bottom of the photograph are inedible. The chicken wasn't as awful; however, I could not stomach finishing it. The service was exemplary, and Dennis, the proprietor, was amiable. He engaged with each customer, a practice rarely observed in many restaurants. Thank you, and I hope your experience is better. We won't be returning.

Lived in Western New York all my life and went here for the first time over the weekend to celebrate my birthday. Always wanted to go. It was such an amazing experience, the wait staff was incredible and friendly. The way all restaurants should be run! Mr. DiPaolo himself came to our table to greet us, and our waiter was second to none. He even boxed up our food for us and labeled the containers to say what they are. When they learned it was my birthday, they surprised me with a very well- rehearsed Happy Birthday song and cake with a candle on it. Like for real, they were in perfect harmony! The food was absolutely incredible, each of us got an entree and we all left with plenty of leftovers to feed us for the next day. Every single person I saw leave the restaurant, left with leftovers.
