Restaurants near Fairgrounds Park

This was my first visit to Gary’s and I will return based on my positive experience. The salmon special was delicious. The serving size was larger than I expected and the salmon was perfectly done with a lot of nice flavor. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were also delicious and cooked to perfection. I liked the hollandaise sauce, but I may get it on the side next time to control the amount. I always love a nice glass of Caymus and was happy to see it served by the glass. I inquired about the king crab legs. This is one of my favorites - but I have been spoiled by Pittsburgh Blue who prepares the crab meat table-side so it is not messy and very easy to eat. I asked my server if they do this at Gary’s and he essentially said maybe if he wasn’t too busy. I probably would have ordered the crab legs if the response was ‘yes’. The ambiance was fun and vibrant. I also like to gamble so having pull tabs was also a big pro for me. I’ll be back! Thanks for a great first visit.

The Tuesday mushroom thyme soup is excellent. Great place for a lunch or dinner if in downtown Rochester.

Delicious! Excellent experience. We enjoyed steak, scallops and prawns. Awesome staff!

We had a late Saturday lunch at Five West with close relatives. We wanted time to visit, good food, and needed a specific kind of table for health reasons. There were no disappointments. The note I added to the reservation about seating was respected, the food was excellent as it always is, and the service was attentive and thorough. One of our party is vegetarian and had no trouble finding a delicious entree as well as a non-alcoholic brew. Five West is one of our top favorites in Rochester.

Another outstanding brunch experience at Bleu Duck. It it our favorite brunch spot in town!
