A wonderful place to stop and have lunch downtown Rochester. You can park in the attached parking ramp for easy restaurant... access. Very comfortable feel to the dinning are with wonderful views of downtown area. I'm personally found of the chickenapple brie but they have many wonderful lunch options. Read more

Heard about the chocolate cake so we walked across the street from The Hilton Garden Inn where we were staying. Saw the dessert... menu and order a slice of the chocolate cake and bread pudding to go. They said it would take about 20 min so we ordered drinksat the bar but I was not expecting a glass of wine and pear smash to come to $40. The dessert ran about $30 with tax n tip. Cakewas to die for as was the berry bread pudding (which we ate at the bar since it was served with ice cream) Read more

Overall the food is always really good, sushi had a lot less tuna then usual, almost no tuna in the roll honestly. Chicken Rosa... was good as usual. They have a 4.5% surcharge on the whole bill. The definitely raised prices since last time we went. For 2entrees, sushi, and just drank water with a tip it was $82, didn’t quite feel worth that to me, and this was one of myfavorite places to eat. I didn’t have a bad experience but it’s just getting too expensive for what it is, and we probablywill have to stop going. Read more

Had dinner delivered via Door Dash last night. Have to say good was great, but experience a bit odd. Went online to order and... was not able to use a gift card. Also, could not do special instructions. So after order was placed called and spoke to ayoung lady. Her attitude was quite off putting. We discussed gift card. And how not an option. No apology for anything / justyoung, know it all tude. Then asked for silverware - fine, and bread. We don’t have bread she states. You are a restaurantand have no bread I confirm? Yes she states and then dead silence. Oh, divine customer service. Hubby had Wagyu burger and Ihad the mushroom fettuccine with steak. Both were nicely done, good portions. Meet cooked right. Only issue is pasta hunkertogether after travel, but that happens. Read more

Our family experienced CRAVE for the first time on Saturday. We were visiting Rochester for my wife's birthday. We chose CRAVE... because the menu options sounded really good. When we got there, Wow! The restaurant is gorgeous, the staff were kind and justamazing. When our waitress (Katelyn or Katherine) was taking our kids' order, she squatted down to be at their eye level. Mygirls are 8 and 13 and they felt so special. When the food arrived, it was beyond our expectation. The Godzilla roll wasdelicious, the Truffle fries were amazing and the Calamari was some of the best I have had outside of Connecticut. Our girlsloved their French toast and the Kids sliders meal. I highly recommend to everyone. Everything was worth every penny. We lookforward to our next visit! Thank you so much to all at CRAVE!!!!! Read more

The service and food was great. Though, a bit spendy for what you get (reason for the 4 stars not 5). I enjoyed the fresh sushi.

Modern, upscale atmosphere with average food. The Geisha sushi boat (chef's selection) was more than enough for 2 people. For a... place that bills itself as a sushi bar, the quality was a bit lackluster. Some of the nigiri was a bit dry. The tiramisu shootertasted more like cream cheese than a true tiramisu, but the raspberry sorbet with a hidden dollop of heavy whipped cream was anunexpected delight. The cocktails were excellent and not too strong, would be perfect for a business lunch. Service wasincredibly friendly and attentive, and that seems to be encouraged by management. Our server stopped and made casualconversation with us for several minutes, and we observed another server doing the same at a nearby table, despite a full andbusy dining room. Reservations are definitely recommended. Read more
