Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Rochester

We had a late Saturday lunch at Five West with close relatives. We wanted time to visit, good food, and needed a specific kind of table for health reasons. There were no disappointments. The note I added to the reservation about seating was respected, the food was excellent as it always is, and the service was attentive and thorough. One of our party is vegetarian and had no trouble finding a delicious entree as well as a non-alcoholic brew. Five West is one of our top favorites in Rochester.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Wanted the bucatini but it doesn't come with meat and you can't add meat. Our server said it was delicious even without the meat and she was right! I didn't miss the meat at all. We also had the tuna tatare and it was so flavorful, light and delicious. My friend had the ragu and I tasted it. SO good! We shared the guava sorbet with mango and tajin for dessert. My mouth is watering thinking about it. We also each got a complimentary glass of wine for my birthday. Definitely recommend! Amazing place!

The food is excellent and prices are amazingly inexpensive for whats served. Whats good? Everything I have eaten there. Walleye dishes include preperation other than deep fried. Choices like with wine and garlic sauce, and portions are large. For $23, it's amazing. Most places in Rochester charge 27 to $30 for deep fried. I have eaten there a number of times and it has always been fantastic.
