TerryB56 wrote about Ember Woodfire Grill

Finally, a breath of fresh air and contemporary food in the newest restaurant venue in Livonia, Livingston County. The owners have outdone themselves on all levels -- the food is fresh with the appropriate combination of ingredients -- vegetables that were colorful, cooked and seasoned perfectly; lovely bruschetta and carmelized onion/mushroom tart; and, the French Pinot Noir HobNob was an excellent value. Paul and Luke have obviously done their homework and got it right, right out of the gates. Dining in this restaurant gives the feel as if one's in San Francisco, New York, Chicago! We are delighted to be just a bike ride away from this lovely little place. Congratulations guys! Well done indeed! Hey Rochester, come on down! Sid & Terry

This bar has changed my life. I now fear for my future and will go back for my masters and make something of myself.

zincmann wrote about Hong Wah Restaurant

Ordered a Sesame Chicken Lunch special which I happen to have ordered from Many a Chinese Restaurant around Rochester, Rainbow Wok is my favorite in Victor, by the way. Most chinese restaurants let you substitute a small soup for the Eggroll, they would not, they charge you extra and all I wanted was a small. The Sesame Chicken portion was burned and the Broccoli was also. Was swimming in greasy watered down sauce. The Fried Rice was supposed to be Pork Fried and there was hardly any pork and the rice wasnt cooked with enough Soy Sauce. Will never order again nor dine there. I would stay clear, dont know how this got Best Rated Chinese. You have one opportunity to make a first impression and they lost my business And Just calling them to let them know how bad the food was, all they said was come back and try us again, I dont know what you want me to do about it. Well I dont have to spell it out now do I. Again TERRIBLE!

I absolutely love Elegant Expressions - just wish they had more expanded hours. I haven't been able to visit in years!

@Bulm_Fooflufter: LOL! Check out the letter Bill Franklin sent me, banning me from all of his gigs. It's a blog on my website nigellarson.com/blog titled "banned for life."

Stand-up comedy? Woot! I just can't get enough of that Bill Franklin!

I stopped in with a few coworkers for lunch and ordered the the quarter pound cheeseburger. Very tasty,cooked just right (medium) and the meat was never frozen. A little more pricey than 5guys or Bill Grays but worth the visit.

If you want good service go somewhere else. I walked out last time as I waited more than 15 minutes for a drink while the bartender dude picked his nose.

LMFAO! Jersey shore trash has spread to Rochester.

robodrink wrote about Blueroom

This place was perfect. We got out early (about 8:30) and were looking to have a good spot to get are drink on with some darts, pool and stuff and boom there it it was. By the time we had a buzz on there was a DJ upstairs and hellahotties upstairs- it was perfect we never had to leave, never payed a cover AND soaked up some booze with 50 cent wings. Insane night! Def for the record books!!!

NewlPost wrote about El Dorado Mexican Cuisine

My wife and I love to go out to eat. We were told of El Dorado by a friend who thought we'd appreciate it. We love it. We've visited it 3 times in five months. We visit many of the same restaurants regularly and have now included El Dorado as one. It has improved with each visit. Most important the quality of the food remains consistently high. The menu is unique enough to keep it competitive with the best Mexican food Rochester (and surrounding counties) has to offer. Pork is a favorite of mine. Each time I ordered from the choices of carnitas on the menu it was great! A good variety, too. The service is always good - warm, welcoming and friendly. Considering the facilities they have to work with (the space looks like a previous tenant took out their frustrations on the tile floor) the decor is done well. You can tell effort was made to spruce the place up - bold, pleasing colors, tasteful pictures and other decorations. Neatness and cleanliness also rate high (I figure it takes extra care to make a floor like that look as spotless as it does). The prices are very good. You can easily put together a filling meal a-la-carte for less than $8. And even the specialties run only around $10. All portions are generous. On our last visit the owner explained to us that he would be remodeling in Feb. of 2010. He also explained the remodel would help with a heating problem we noticed; When they turn on the exhaust fans in the kitchen area the dining area cools down. We enjoy the ambiance as it is. But we're happy business has been good enough to keep the improvements coming. We're looking forward to returning often and squeezing in another visit before the remodel.

canman wrote about Astoria

On monroe looking for lunch we hesitantly choose Astoria and I was pleasantly surprised! The staff was very attentive but not at all over bearing. I loved the rice pilaf, chicken spinach wrap, and gyro. The sauce was great! The only thing I would change is the price. $18 for 2 sides and 2 wraps seems a little steep. But I will return because it tasted incredible!

mlpn wrote about The Goddess Hour

I have been taking belly dance classes at Goddess Hour for almost 6 years. These classes have become one of the highlights of my week. Not only are the classes a great workout but are so much fun as well. You don't feel like you're "working" when you have this much fun. The instructors are well trained, knowledgeable and extremely supportive. This studio is such a supportive environment and has become such a positive nurturing part of my life. In addition to awesome belly dance classes, I have also attending a few of their workshops and their bi-annual belly dance event, Hip Happens. They always put on a great show and conduct fabulous workshops for resonable prices. The studio also offers a variety of other classes including zumba, hula hooping, Bollywood, yoga, dance meditation, art of exotic and they just added a pole class. Although I haven't taken any of these other classes yet, I have heard from other students that they are just as much fun and high quality as their belly dance classes are. If you're looking for a great place to have a lot of fun while working out and meet new friends, I would definitley recommend checking out Goddess Hour

short727 wrote about The Goddess Hour

I have been taking classes for three years and have had an amazing experience. The belly dance teachers are all certified and have extensive teaching and performance experience. They also have a lot of fitness class that are lots of fun like hula hoops, yoga and cardio strip. Have taken their Art of Exotic dance which was a blast. They just added pole -- tried it when they first started it -- a great workout. Very professional and knowledgable instructors. Would recommend this studio to anyone looking for fun and a quality workout experience.

azutters commented on Donuts Delite returns

To: Sam Fantauzzo Congratulations on re-opening the Donuts Delight store. While I lived in W. Irondequoit, and, while I taught at Eastridge, I, often, would make a special stop at the old Donuts Delight, for their great donuts. Although I live in Peoria, AZ now, I will be driving to NY, in June, for a graduation ceremony, and, I will make sure that I stop at your new store. Best wishes. Robert (Bob) Utter, Math Teacher

paduca wrote about Orange Glory Cafe

4 of us from my office came for lunch and were more than pleased. this is a darling, bistro type restaurant with friendly and efficient staff, great lunches and the very best molasses cookies i have had since my great-grandmother's. i'd love to keep this a secret, but it is by far, way too good to not recommend to everyone...try it once and you will keep on going back again and again and again!

HT58 commented on King David's Restaurant

kimby wrote about Peaches Café

Had been meaning to try this new restaurant since it opened, finally stopped by last Sunday. I asked for a booth and the owner ignored this and started towards the small 2-person tables. I again asked for a booth and could tell the guy was upset with me. He paraded me and my friend back to the front of the restaurant and made us wait. Then he came back and told me that the booths were for larger parties and he was expecting "people from church". There were booths set for three but so what? I said again I'd prefer a booth. He finally found us a small 2-person booth in the back and informed me we "were lucky" to have gotten a booth. We were "lucky"? I'd say he was lucky I was there to give him some of my money. They must be doing very well there to make me feel like they were doing me such a huge favor, he was so unfriendly. The food was okay, nothing special. There are too many other restaurants in Webster where they make me feel welcome to bother with this joint again.

AJJ wrote about Abbott's Frozen Custard

Abbott's Frozen Custard has NO peer...it is richly flavoured, a thick & lushly creamy denseness, lacking any cheap whipped in airy filler, a seductive temptation. I must stay away...but you know, I can't! And once you tatse it yourself, neither can YOU!
