Best Casual Restaurants in Rochester

Every meal is lovingly prepared. The presentations are simple but elegant. We've dined there twice and sampled various dishes.....all perfect. The gnocchi are little pillows of magic. The staff are charming, fun, and proud of their restaurant and their success. We will be back.

Christmas Eve dinner was fantastic. Our food was delicious. Our service was exceptional.

Great food and impeccable service. Our drinks were taking a little long and the server, without us saying a word, comped our drinks. The steak was cooked perfectly. The tuna tartar was the best I’ve had. Very good sablefish. The focaccia bread was homemad and “chef’s kiss”. Cocktails were delicious. Will be back!

Great server-very attentive and proactive. Potato skin appetizer was delicous. Lamb entree was super tender and flavorful.

The food, service and ambience were outstanding at Chester’s. Our entire table enjoyed different walleye dishes and everyone was very happy with their entrees. Desserts were generous and delicious. The restaurant was crowded with large holiday groups but the overall noise level was moderate, snd for once I did not have trouble hearing my table mates conversation. Devin was an efficient and personable server and the manager stopped by our table to ensure we were being taken care of. Outstanding food, great service.
