What diners say

“I came here for my 35th birthday not knowing what to expect, and left convinced this is the best restaurant I've visited since moving to the city. My supervisor recommended this place when I asked for a nice dining options for my birthday. The kind of place that makes you feel good about wherever you've landed. The fregola, that tiny Sardinian pasta swimming in a bright green pea broth with what looked like shrimp and fresh herbs, was the dish of the night. Elegant and deeply satisfying at the same time, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The braised ox tail stew with charred bread was hearty and complex, the kind of thing you want on a Rochester evening. And they sent out birthday desserts with candles, a chocolate slice with a dark chocolate drizzle and what appeared to be a frozen cream, a genuinely sweet touch that didn't feel perfunctory. I'll be honest: the lamb sausage wasn't for me. Beautifully plated with fingerling potatoes and microgreens, but the flavor profile just didn't land the way the other dishes did. One miss in an otherwise strong meal isn't a complaint. It's useful information. The space, the pacing, the care in the cooking. Good Luck earns its reputation. I left a very generous tip to the very attentive waiter.”

“We really enjoyed our experience at Good Luck Restaurant. The atmosphere is effortlessly stylish—classy yet relaxed—and perfect for a date night, celebration, or an evening out with friends. The menu features creative, flavorful dishes served family-style, which makes the meal both interactive and memorable. Our courses came out very quickly, so the dining pace felt slightly rushed at first, and the checkout process took a bit of time afterward. Despite that, the food was outstanding and truly unforgettable. Overall, it was a great experience for the value, and we would happily dine here again.”

“Good Luck Restaurant has a truly one-of-a-kind vibe—classy, cool, and laid back all at the same time. The food is incredibly unique and packed with flavor, making it a great choice for birthday celebrations, date nights, or simply enjoying time at a stylish bar. The shared, family-style dishes add to the fun and create a memorable dining experience. During our visit, the courses arrived very quickly, which made the meal feel a bit rushed, and it took a little longer than expected to receive our bill and finalize payment. Even with that, the overall experience was excellent for the price, and the flavors were unforgettable. We will and have definitely returned for another visit!!”

“Easily one of the best restaurant’s in Rochester! The service was top tier! The wait staff was super attentive, knowledgeable and very efficient. Since this was an anniversary dinner we tried several different cocktails from the menu, all were excellent! I highly recommend the 32oz Rib eye, Chicory salad, Cacio e Pepe (pasta dish) to name a few. We will definitely be coming back!”
