Restaurants near John Shelp Cobblestone House

We were celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. The decor was festive with Christmas decorations, beautifully done as usual. Our reservation was for 7:00 but were told they were running 15-20 min behind. The bar area was full and it took awhile to get our beverages. We were under the impression that there was a dress code for the dining area, yet so many people were in jeans and very casual attire and allowed into the dining area. That was disappointing as we were expecting a higher end atmosphere. The food was exceptional, as usual. Our server, Eric, was very attentive and apologetic that our main course took so long due to over-cooking of the filet. Eric suspected something was wrong and immediately addressed it with the the kitchen staff. It was worth the wait. Our appetizers were great and helped to lessen the tardiness of getting the entrees. This is our favorite place and we truly enjoyed our evening.

If you are looking for a high end dining experience, here is a great choice. A one hour drive from Rochester, Medina itself was had a classic, beautiful vintage Christmas feel as night fell. Our server, Steve, made the evening even more special. He was very personable, as well as a top notch waiter, maintaining the fine balance of waiting on us quickly, without appearing to hover. The pairing was superb. Wines and courses were matched in ways that made each that much more elevated. An additional extra, making the evening even more special, was lovely live music on a harp. Pricey, but an experience you don't often get in our area.

The service was excellent as always! The server and his assistant were very nice. Food came out quickly, and our server was able to recommend what sauce I should get with the elk special. We also got a free dessert when they learned we were celebrating getting married the day before. This is definitely the restaurant we go to for special occasions!

Everything was absolutely delicious! The service, the apps, the dinner, the drinks and the dessert - CHEF'S KISS!

Gerties is always wonderful - the food, the service and the cozy ambience.
