Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Rochester

Lovely experience from the service to the flavors to the presentation, it was just a lovely evening. Thank you all -Melanie, Antonio and everyone else. I left the restaurant exactly as I would want - sated from the food and feeling appreciated by the staff. I left you a smile!

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Had French Onion Soup. Good. What would make it outstanding? Probably personal preference but we like a darker richer broth. Had Caesar Salad. Outstanding. Finally, someone using a delicious dressing and the proper cheese. Had the small plate beef tips. Yum. Then chicken tenders and French fries. Too good to leave behind. Coffee was strong just like we like it and it was actually hot like we like it even after we put our cream in. Appreciate the noise level was perfect so we could have a conversation. Will definitely return.

Food was absolutely amazing. Our server was wonderful and everyone made us feel so welcome. A++

We had an awesome experience here for our annual Christmas Eve/Birthday dinner with our family. The restaurant and surrounding area was decorated beautifully, it is so nice to see Detroit aglow again. Our server; Donovan; was very attentive in spite of having several tables; he anticipated our every need and helped to make the evening very enjoyable. Every entree was presented beautifully; complements to the chefs; it made for a very memorable experience and we will definitely be back. The food was excellent overall; the only complaint was that the Chicken Milano was a little dry; two of us had it and it was the same for both; maybe add a little more of the wonderful sauce that came with it. One minor complaint; as mentioned the ambience was awesome at this restaurant but the lights seemed to "strobe" with the light music playing in the background. Four people in our party would be considered senior citizens and we all noticed the lights flickering to the beat of the music; this may not even be noticeable to younger people though. Overall though we all recommend this restaurant to anyone; the owners obviously care a great deal and have created a perfect dining experience.

We found this restaurant to be uniquely unpretentious by offering an upscale dining experience that also features a great breakfast and lunch menu aside from fantastic dinner selections at very reasonable prices! The service is impeccable and the dining rooms are cozy, warm and inviting.
