    So I have been to this restaurant many times in the past. This is our first visit with the new menu. Was very excited to go as it is one of my wife's favorite restaurants. So we had a 5:45 reservation. We sat a few minutes later. We had to leave at 7:30 to get to a play and called a manager over to check if we had an assigned server or if we were forgotten. He assured me she was coming. She arrived at 7:10 and she was very enthusiastic. We ordered drinks and then she came back for our meal order. We were 2 couples. We ordered 2 appetizers and each ordered a main dish. We also ordered 2 sides to go with our mains since they were just protein. And then things got weird. A couple of minutes later, the French fries showed up (one of the sides for the mains). A minute after that, one of the mains showed up (a sushi roll). A minute after that, our 2 steaks showed up. When that happened, I asked the person delivering the food why we got our steaks now. He responded that the food is sent out as soon as it's ready. Then 3 minutes later our appetizers showed up. And then finally my wife's main dish. Our last side came after we had finished all the food. So after a slow start, all the food arrived within 20 minutes and in no particular order. So my wife and I travel extensively and have been to many small plate type restaurants that serve as the food is ready. But even they pace things so you don't get all the dishes in 20 minutes. But more importantly, this isn't that type of restaurant. It's a typical menu with appetizers and sushi on one page, and mains and sides on the other. This was a ridiculous pace to our meal. I don't enjoy eating yellowtail ceviche at the same time as my rib steak. And miso eggplant for desert after my mains have been cleared. The good news is that the food is delicious. Strong Asian flavors. That part was wonderful. So I don't blame our server. But the kitchen timing is very unenjoyable. Doubt I'll ever go back.

    My friend and I ate at the sushi bar. Watching Alice in front of us prepare the Red Dragon sushi rolls was fun. She created little works of art that were fantastic! I also recommend the scallops with brown butter nigiri and King salmon pate with rice crackers were out of this world! Please don't laugh, but at age 68, this was my first time trying sushi. I'm not a fish eater. Beautiful restaurant! Oleksandr was our server and he was very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding our selections. Thank you! Nick Massimilian, the manager, was very attentive to our needs and recommended a white burgundy, Beaune Montagny Premier Cru 2020. $85 (expensive) and worth every penny! I think this is the best restaurant in Rochester!

    Wow, every visit to Next Door is really outstanding and special! Bethany is a lovely server and always a pleasure to see whenever I go to Next Door. The madai nigiri special was sensational, lightly seared and topped with citrusy condiment, jalapeño and a Japanese hollandaise called kimizu. What a treat! The tuna tataki, miso roasted eggplant, miso soup and ikura, hamachi and sake nigiri were all delicious. The grilled bronzino was perfectly cooked with crispy skin, and all three of the sauces and the crunchy, refreshing daikon salad go very well with the fish. Thank you so much to the chefs that work so hard to make this amazing food, it is a great gift to be able to come to Next Door. Thank you so much and see you soon!

    It’s twice now that we have been at Next Door to explore the newly designed menu; and it’s twice that we have been absolutely delighted by the food, service, and overall experience. The first time was in November where our server Alex help guide us through the new menu choices; deftly helping us select the right items (we are a little picky when it comes to seafood). Tonight we had the joy of having Laura as our server. She help us to explore different aspects of the menu and specifically helped us pair our beverage selections to the food (especially the Chardonnay which I have come back to loving because of Next Doors lightly oaked options). The overall culinary experience was exquisite. Give their new menu a try. You won’t regret it.

    As always, we all had an outstanding dining experience.  Our server was engaging and knowledgeable. We enjoyed several starters, sushi rolls, including the one on special and two desserts. Every bite was a ten!

    Food was good and the server was great, but the pace and timing from the kitchen was awful. The first side came to the table about 15 minutes before the first entrée. Entrées came about 10 minutes apart.
