Rella - Rochester

I was just visiting and I don?t know the standards of food in Rochester, but I would say the food here was good. Not great. Overall, I would say give this place a try. The menu options were interesting and simple. Most of what I tired was pretty flavorful. I liked the chowder and the shrimp slider. I didn?t care for the risotto or the olive bread and fig dessert. The service was good and it was nice interacting with the chef?s. If I lived here I would probably give it onemore try.

Worth every one if it's five stars. The service was amazing and attentive with each server listening to us chat about our lives as they brought us each dish as it finished in the kitchen. The dishes themselves were full of flavor and the best that I've had of each of them. I personally thought the oysters were the best I've had our of NYC and would be happy to have them every time I visit. The clam chowder was more buttery and less creamy than other versions but the butterand salt added to the in the shell clams and salmon in such a way that brought the dish from great to an experience. The shrimp sliders were fantastic, a perfect blend if shrimp, mayo, cucumber, celery, lemon, and dill to make a refreshingdelightful treat. The seafood risotto was one of the cheesiest I've ever had having pesto dance on the plate with lobster, each happily holding their own combined with the parmesan. I will absolutely be back every time I'm in Rochester.The service makes you feel like family and the food makes you feel like you've found a home.

A phenomenal meal and great atmosphere. The shrimp salad and lobster and crab risotto were standouts, and the corn cake for dessert was unbelievably delicious. This is a tiny 16-seater, so show up early or expect to wait! We will be back?can?t wait to try everything on the menu!

Absolutely incredible. We got nearly everything on the menu (sharing with the table) and every dish was better than the last. Seriously fabulous and ???? worth the wait! We almost never leave reviews. It's that good.

A fun, very small place that offers a casual vibe with freshly prepared food. It's good, even very good, just not as extraordinary as perhaps we'd been built up to expect. Oysters were very good, smoked salmon plate was outstanding, chilled pasta with lobster seemed to skimp on the lobster, and the mussels were a mixed result, with the mussels themselves a little mealy and fishy, while the broth was wonderful. The service was delightful and I'd go back, just with lowered expectations next time around.
