2011-12-22 16:42:03   Went with friends for a holiday lunch. The place was nearly empty with the exception of a group of people at the bar (one of whom brought in a pepperoni pizza that he laid out on a table near us- they don't serve pizza, so this seemed strange to us). All three of us had prime rib (which should be their specialty since it's Rick's PRIME RIB HOUSE) and of the three, two of us found it pretty difficult to cut through and relatively flavorless. The Au Jus was tasty and was the only thing that saved the meal for us. Our waitress could barely crack a smile. The whole experience was kind of strange- I won't be back with so many other places (Scotch and Sirloin, Johnson House) that serve a much better cut of meat with far friendlier staff. —ShawnaLusk

I suspect that they aren't aging it as much as before, and are possibly substituting cheaper meat. If I get a chewy prime rib like the one I had 2 weeks ago again, I'm through with you guys! —Alex-C

For a restaurant that is named for the cut of beef it supposedly "specializes" in, we expected MUCH, MUCH better. While the portions were generous, the meat was tough (even though we requested rare & medium-rare), unseasoned, and extremely unenjoyable. I do not recommend this place unless you like bland food and tough prime rib. Also the spread served with the bread was definitely not butter, some sort of low-quality margarine that left a gross film in your mouth. —mercdotes

I had a work Xmas party here and it served that purpose. I had the chicken french and I thought it was pretty bad. I think it might have been more that it wasn't really my kind of dish (no spice whatsoever) and not as much that their food was low quality. Also, the surrounding area is kind of the industrial armpit of Rochester, with an RGE substation and some large chemical tanks as close neighbors. —PDub
