	+ ------ + ''2015-06-06 00:51:55'' [[nbsp]] So disappointing. We go here rather often for happy hour drinks / bar tapas, but tonight, we'd decided to do that + a full sit-down dinner. + Had to stand at the host stand for 10 minutes waiting to be seated, even though they were not on a wait (the host kept running up and down the stairs, then addressed the people behind me before addressing me). + Not long after being seated, we noticed that the two tables next to us, who we'd been talking to in line and who were each seated within 5 minutes of us (one 5 minutes before, one 5 minutes after), already had been offered/served drinks & bread. Us? Nothing. 15 minutes later, I flagged down the host, and motioned to him that no waiter/waitress had seen us yet. (Yet both tables next to us had received their first courses already.) Four minutes later, a waiter appeared, and seemed surprised that we were already prepared to order 4+ dishes of food, as well as drinks. We ordered, and our drinks were brought out "promptly" (7 more minutes -- by this time, the tables next to us were on their second round of drinks, and finishing up their first or second rounds of tapas). Ten-ish more minutes, and we received our salads. No bread -- even though both tables next to us had overflowing bread baskets. "You have to ask for it" said the woman clearing away our salads. So, I asked for it, and she brought it, in not too long, mentioning that patrons have to ask nowadays, because with celiac issues these days, lots of bread is brought out unnecessarily and wasted (totally understandable -- though, I hadn't noticed the tables next to us asking!). But, the bread was taken away before we finished it, and not refilled (despite both tables' next to us having theirs refilled -- yes, I was really, really paying attention at this point, wondering if/how/why we were being discriminated against.... which is still baffling me). Finally, the rest of our tapas dishes came (all 3 at once -- hmmm? Odd.). At the time these dishes were finally brought, the table to our left was ignoring their 3rd basket of bread and enjoying their dessert, and the one to our right was paying their bill. + Why??? That is my big question. Why did our meals take 2x as long as both tables' next to us? We didn't order anything weird-- just what was on the regular menu. No specials, and no special requirements (no gluten-free, or shellfish allergies, etc). Why didn't we get bread/bread refills without asking, like they did? Why did we have to wait to flag down our waiter for wine refills, when the other tables' glasses were refilled promptly? We were dressed just as well as anyone else, and were not rude, nor standing out in any way -- I am absolutely flabbergasted. Usually, when I experience poor service in a restaurant, it doesn't seem that other patrons around us are experiencing excellent service. In this case, though, I feel like I experienced shitty service, when those around me were having a wonderful meal, and good (or, at least, standard!) treatment. + All in all, VERY disappointing, especially considering the food quality (quite good!, when it finally arrived). But, dining here, I was made to feel like an inferior piece of garbage, as compared to the other patrons, who were treated well(/normal?) -- and therefore, despite the wonderful flavors of the cuisine, we will probably not be dining here again anytime soon. --["Users/Enfys15"]

	+ ------ + ''2014-05-31 10:52:18'' [[nbsp]] We hadn't been to Tapas 177 for a few years and were lured back Thursday night by our WXXI MemberCard which was about to run out for the year. Overall we really enjoyed our experience. The basement dining room has that shabby-chic vibe going with some nice music playing. On a warmer evening the courtyard would have been a perfect spot to sit. We really enjoyed the calamari salad and lamb chops, but the crab cakes were much more "cake" than "crab". All of the flavors were fresh and vibrant, and I had some delightful wine. Service was prompt and professional - an unordered drink made it onto our bill but was removed graciously when I asked about it. We found the food quite "worldly" rather than the Spanish influence that you might expect at a "tapas" place - it is more "international small plates" in concept. Also prices are higher than you would traditionally expect for true "tapas", but if you think of them as "sharable small plates" there is value there. --["Users/jgerek"]

The food is delicious and unusual, the waitstaff are friendly and will tell you what's good (and what's less good) on the menu, and the space is really visually interesting and attractive, particularly when you can sit outside in the summer. I'm meh on it as a bar but it's really top flight as a restaurant, a place where I've reliably had wonderful, relaxing evenings. --["Users/GeorgeOliver"]

A friend and I tried four things: the calamari salad, the lamb chops, the tuna tartare, and the shrimp na'an flatbread pizza. There was more than enough food for two people, the wine selection was decent (I had two glasses, there is also a good variety of bottles). Since it was prom night, there was a crowd, but dining downstairs was quiet and peaceful. Our server was fabulous (Hannah). This was my first visit, will most certainly go back for a special occasion. --["Users/ShawnaLusk"]

The dates are fantastic and I order them every time I go. The empanadas and the corn cake are also tasty. The only thing I have ordered so far that I was disappointed with was the veggie spring rolls; I found them to be a little bland. The dessert with the banana and ice cream is out of this world!! Service is always prompt and attentive. Will be back! + + --["Users/dmarie"]

The dirty martinis, mojitos and caipirinhas are perfect. I always get the appetizer size scallops w/ reduction sauce and it is divine. I also love the fresh spring rolls. I find the entree size meals are too big, and I want to sample a few things. Thank God, my anniversary is coming soon....... --["Users/LisaRuns"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-03-21 09:07:49'' [[nbsp]] My husband and I went for a date night at Tapas last night. It was very, very enjoyable. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for. We got there early as we had a comedy show to go to after dinner, and we had the place to ourselves when we got there. We started off with Caribbean Chicken soup which was fantastic. Then we had the Portobello and Cream Cheese Wontons, the Beef Tataki, and the Crab Cakes. All three were quite good, but the Tataki was absolutely perfect. The flavor was just right and the beef so tender. I was concerned the portion sizes might be too small based on some reviews we read, so we ordered an entree too to share between the two of us. But the portion sizes were just right and we should have finished with just the tapas. We got the Ostrich entree and it was mediocre. I found the meat to be tough even cooked medium rare, and the dish was too heavy to be in keeping with the rest of the meal. Next time we visit, I'll stick to just the tapas and soup and skip the entree as that was more than enough food. I found the portion sizes were just right and just what I'd expect for Tapas. The waitstaff was very well trained at anticipating my needs, and I never had to ask for anything. We finished off the meal with dessert...I got the banana dessert and my husband got a berry creme brulee. Both were quite good, but neither of us were able to finish (I think with the entree it was just too much food). Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, the only disappointment being the entree, but I look forward to going back again soon, we'll just stick to the tapas next time. --["Users/TaraLK"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-18 18:40:03'' [[nbsp]] Went this past Friday for the first time in a few years. We split a calamari salad which was excellent. My wife had the Sea Bass over Marscapone Rissotto. The fish and rice were both cooked to perfection and the flavors blended nicely. The Lemongrass sauce that accompanied I thought was a little to extreme for the dish. I opted for 2 tapas plates. the first was a Chorizio stuffed Braciole that while delicious, I felt the $13 for the 3 little slices was out of line. The Mussels and Fries in my opinion was the star of the night. I would get this as an entree the next time I went. The service was very good as was the wine list. The overall experience warrants another visit. --["Users/almorinelli"]

Other than that there are beautiful paintings scattered about the place! The service could be better. We had a large table and she dissappeared and at the end was very rude about tipping after we tipped well over twenty percent! How ever we met one of the owners and she was very sweet. The food is also very good, try the jambalaya! It's alittle spicey but ver flavorful!!!! + + Great spot, good food and okay service.

- ''2006-06-11 12:55:25'' [[nbsp]] Ordered 4 appetizers, 1 martini, 1 dessert. No major complaints about a single one - a first, in my 8 years of dining out every other day in ROC. But that's not the same as saying I'll definitely go back, or repeat any orders. The $14-appetizer thing - probably yet another way that ROC tries to emulate NYC ("let's have horses on parade!")...well, it's only a joke when you don't have the same food caliber to go along. While $80 for 2 doesn't ruffle one's feathers much, just-ok food combined with too-casual (read: PJ-like rags) staff is not enough to lure us back again. Last word: I'm left hankering for real tapas. --["ChristineLeo"] - ------ - ''2006-06-12 06:15:58'' [[nbsp]] I agree that price/value is out of balance at Tapas. --["RottenChester"] - ------ - ''2006-07-25 04:59:33'' [[nbsp]] I agree with the above comments about price. Just wanted to add that the atmosphere is pretty cool, especially when there's music at the downstairs bar. When I go out, this is often my first stop. They have free salsa lessons on Thursday nights. The bartenders are very knowledgeable. --["RachelBlumenthal"] - ------ - ''2006-07-26 08:09:51'' [[nbsp]] Tapas has great food; I've dined here a few times for tapas and regular entrees. For tapas, I recommend the scallops. They are made with a dark sweet/spicy sauce. I had Banana Xangas (dessert) last night, and it was pretty good: 1/2 banana in fried dough, vanilla bean ice cream with caramel sauce, and a banana piece dipped in dark chocolate. A previous comment talked about how this restaurant tries to emulate NYC. First, trying to emulate NYC is a good thing, since it is the pinnacle of what a large city can be. Secondly, many things about Rochester do emulate NYC successfully, and Tapas does, actually, with the quality of food and atmosphere. It probably is not the same quality as the NY Times 4-stars like Daniel and Per Se, which I have not tried yet, but I have dined at many restaurants in NYC since I am from there, so my opinion is qualified. Thridly, every city has some kind of animal on parade, like Buffalo has Bisons on Parade. The prices are OK for the demographics and atmosphere of the place. --["BenMargolis"] - ------ - ''2006-12-02 11:32:28'' [[nbsp]] I used to enjoy Tapas, but recently it has been disappointing.

He added orange and lemon slices in addition to the lime and some pomegranate liqueur. AMAZING. I'm obsessed :) --["RachelBlumenthal"] - ------ - ''2007-07-24 16:03:14'' [[nbsp]] Thanks for the suggestion Rachel!!! I'll be sure to ask for a pomegranate mojito next time I'm there!

Great ambiance and creative dishes. The menu consistently changes, and I often lose a dish that I love. However, they almost always replace it with another that's just as good. - - Bar area upstairs is nice. They open the doors downstairs in the summer, which is a nice change. Definitely make reservations on a Friday or Saturday if you can. --["AnthonyTraino"] - ------ - ''2007-08-30 16:53:37'' [[nbsp]] I enjoy going to Tapas for drinks or dinner. I have always had a good meal there and the scenery is usually good since the ladies tend to love the place. - - I do wish that some of the other bars in the neighborhood (Liquid, Liquor Room) would close and then I would enjoy going to Tapas even more. I usually make it an early bar in the night, like 10-11pm , so I can avoid the clientele at the other St Paul bars at 2am. - - A trendy bar that serves food. --["users/MrRochester"] - ------ - ''2007-10-16 19:44:39'' [[nbsp]] Well Rachel, I can now say I've tasted the pomegranate mojito!

It is one of my favorite places in Rochester. They have a very creative menu and the décor is cozy and inviting. I love bringing people there for their first visit. It’s very exciting to introduce friends and family to a truly recommendable place. - Caveat: I haven’t stayed much later than 10pm so I’m not sure if the vibe of the place changes once the bars and clubs in the area start filling up. --["ZedOmega"] - ------ - ''2007-11-29 16:56:26'' [[nbsp]] Still going strong after all these years and never disappoints.

Three of us ordered a bunch of appetizers and drinks, which is the way to go if you want to see what these guys have to offer. Everything was mostly cooked well and flavorful, except for the paella (tasted like water-down Uncle Ben's rice bowls). Aside from a few quirks and miscues, it was a decent dining experience and worth its price considering our order included a bottle of wine and cocktails. The bartender serves a good caipirinha, with real cachaca, which is surprisingly hard to find. --["Users/TryingtheBest"]

On my most recent trip, my food was cold. I pointed this out to the waitress, but made sure to let her know that the meat was perfectly cooked, and it was the side dishes that really needed heating. However, when she brought the food back, the whole plate was steaming. My medium-rare meat was suddenly well-done and inedible. If I'm paying over $20 for an entree, I expect things like this not to happen. In fact, this degree of carelessness is unacceptable no matter how cheap the food is. After two incredibly sub par visits, I won't be going back. --["Users/AliMcGhee"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-07-20 23:34:38'' [[nbsp]] Took my fiancée there for dinner last night; overall, it was a great experience. Started with the mussels. Tasty, cooked to perfection, and an outstanding quantity of them for the price. She had grouper with a crab guacamole over pureed turnips. I'm not a grouper kinda guy, but she reported that it was quite good, and the crab was a neat addition to standard guacamole. I did have a bite of the pureed turnips, and they were delicious. I had the wasabi pea-encrused tuna, cooked rare. It was cooked well, had a wonderful combination of flavors and textures, but I am dubious that the quality of the tuna was truly sushi-grade, as advertised. We shared the blackberry crème brûlée for dessert, and found it to be the perfect way to end our meal. The biggest disappointment was in the speed of the service. It wasn't dock-the-tip slow, but seems like it should have been a bit snappier, given that they were only about 1/3 to 1/2 full at any given time. --["Users/ScottCranfill"]

- ''2006-06-11 12:55:25'' [[nbsp]] Ordered 4 appetizers, 1 martini, 1 dessert. No major complaints about a single one - a first, in my 8 years of dining out every other day. But that's not the same as saying I'll definitely go back, or even order any of them again. The appetizers at $14 each thing - probably yet another way that ROC tries to emulate NYC...well, you gotta have the same food caliber to go w/ the price tags. While $80 for 2 doesn't ruffle one's feathers too much, just-ok food combined with too-casual (read: PJ-like rags) staff is not enough to lure us back again. Lastly: I'm left hankering for real tapas. --["ChristineLeo"]	+ ''2006-06-11 12:55:25'' [[nbsp]] Ordered 4 appetizers, 1 martini, 1 dessert.
