The Gate House

“Visit Rochester occasionally and first time eating here. I was not expecting this to be as good as it turned out. Had a Caesar salad to start and it was the best Caesar salad I ever had in my life. I would go back just for that. We had the the blackened tenderloin and the scallops dish. Both dishes were outstanding. Flavorful , cooked perfect and fast. Waitress was fantastic as well. My only negative and this a personal pet peeve I have with most restaurants is the noise level. I have never understood why restaurants don't incorporate sound absorbers to enhance the customers experience because no one wants to have to shout to the person next to them.”

“We were in town for a show and stopped here for dinner. Thursday night at 5pm it was really quiet when we were seated but started to pick up around 5:30pm. Got the duffy burger and my husband had the tenderloin tips. Both meals were cooked perfectly and were reasonably priced. We each ordered a drink as well and the mean came up about $75 total. Would definitely visit again.”

“Great atmosphere, not too loud. Service was quick. Love how they named their pizzas after Rochester’s greats. RPO, Kodak, Federico Douglass, etc. Definitely recommend getting the wagyu smash burger, very big portion.”

“Great brunch, wonderful service, and a fun atmosphere! We got the French toast, chicken and biscuits, and the fry-up and everything was wonderful! Our server was Alicia B and she was very kind and accommodating our whole meal. Additionally, the women’s bathroom was clean and had a lot of free toiletries available, including tampons! I did not see the men’s, so i cannot speak on that. We aren’t out this way often, but next time we are we will be back to visit this place!”

“Had THE BEST dinner tonight! Omg!! Came here with a party of 7 for a birthday dinner. We got placed in a side room with 3 other tables. It was cozy and quiet and we had enough table space as well as space between tables. Our waiter was attentive and immediately starting to take care of us. He shared the specials and gave us time to look over the menu. This was my 3rd time at the restaurant and decided to do an entree over a burger, which I thoroughly enjoyed last time. I was going between a couple items but landed on the Guiness Braised Short Ribs. It came with Bleu cheese mashed potatoes, root veggies, stout gravy and French green beans, and IT.WAS.FABULOUS. So much flavor. The short ribs were fork tender. It was all cooked to perfection with nice chunks of Bleu cheese in the mashed. It was comfort on a plate that I didnt want to end. Three other people got pizzas which looked and smelled delicious. I did try a bite of one and the flavor was also very good with perfectly cooked crispy crust. Someone else got The Wease burger, cooked medium like asked, had big slices of crispy bacon and onions. Specialty cocktails ordered for the table were tasty with aesthetically pleasing presentation. Overall, we cant wait to come back.”
