Yes, it’s been open for a while, but we first tried it during (RYP) Rochester Restaurant Week. Food was okay but we believe specifically under-prepared for our prix-fixe menu. (The same meals being served to other tables looked different.) Our waiter was somewhat pretentious and condescending. It’s probably not the best way to start a nice meal when your server says, “You’re not in NYC!” to two people born and raised in NYC. At least the main dishes he served us were good. The desserts, on the other hand, were just okay. These little home-made loaves may be trendy but are just that: trendy, and just don’t cut it. (Hmm, I wonder what these same desserts looked like at other tables ordering off their standard menu.) It was interesting to watch the other wait-staff, of mostly younger men, walking around and their tables/customers, I’ll leave it at that. Definitely a very cool interior, and as good an alfresco dining experience as that part of South Clinton can offer. The idea of (RYP) RRW is to garner new customers not supply us with bad tastes in our mouths about portion sizes and special low prep. We probably will give it another try, but we’re in no rush. —URalum

This is truly a gem in Rochester - a little pricey so not a place we could do all the time - but loved it from start to finish. —smlusk

Really cool interior, terrific re-use of an old industrial building. So go see the place, have a cocktail, and then go elsewhere for dinner (Trata, Cure, Atlas Eats, etc). —DottieHoffmann
