Best restaurants near me in Penfield, NY

It was a day after valentine's day. The restaurant looked 70% full when we arrived. The server was cheerful and attentive, and the food was, as always, fantastic. I had ahi tuna tartar with beets salad. The tuna was fantastic - perfect balance of ingredients, and arugula created fabulous taste. The salad could have used a tad more vinegar but many people would have been ok. Espresso martini was great for the fun, casual atmosphere. Chef Pasquale was behind the counter, and that is always one way to hit the high note of always solid dining experience.

Service was excellent, food was excellent. Had a great experience

It had been a few years since we dined at Next Door, and we did not know what to expect. Needless-to-say our Valentine's dinner was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing, including our waitress, Bethany who was super attentive and friendly, and the dining room manager, Sean, who was actively engaged overseeing and helping the wait staff. Even the bus girl topped off my waterglass no fewer than 5 times. The food was superb - and we especially enjoyed the featured Australian Wagyu steak, along with the grilled bronzini. The chocolate toffee lava cake was to die for, and a perfect end to our Valentine's meal. The live entertainment (guitar/vocal) really added to the atmosphere. Bravo Next Door!

Everything was great except hostess when checking in was extremely rude. Should not be working there. She upset us to point we almost walked out. Rest of experience was great.

This was our first visit for my daughter and I. The food was excellent and our server in particular was exceptional. We were so impressed by this young professional who commutes from Buffalo.
