    The brunch buffet was definitely worth the price. I typically don’t like buffets but there were plenty of options and the food was consistently replenished. The baklava pancakes, the brussel sprouts and the seafood options were my favorite.

    We had the beef Wellington! Never had anything quite like it it was amazing. We've watched Hell's kitchen for years and always wanted to go. So I surprised my wife she absolutely was amazed! We go up to Rochester New York yearly from Charleston South Carolina. Definitely make it a yearly stop if not more lol. Our server was amazing. Very bubbly and very attentive! One of the best experiences we've ever had. We sat at a table for twol. Which was perfect because sitting across from the kitchen was like almost watching a Broadway show! Everything that they talk about in the show you can see for yourself. Absolutely amazing.

    Highly recommended Wren, we came for a pre-concert dinner and our waiter asked us first thing if we were going to a concert as to be cognizant of our time line. We ordered several shareable dishes that were excellent, the Brussel sprouts were amazing as was the Waygu fried rice, sushi, tempura mushrooms, chicken and short rib! We loved everything! Drinks were delicious as well as beautiful, and enjoyed it all while overlooking the night view! Be sure to ask for a window table! Looking forward to going back!
