    The best run restaurant in Rochester bar none. Food is different but not too so and delicious. Service is outstanding, it's as simple as that.

    From the moment we were greeter at the door the experience began. The new and fresh decor flooded the senses. Warm. Inviting. A bit of glamour. My husband and I met Nick when we were in last and had a nice conversation with him and he gave us his card and said not to hesitate to call him if he could “take care” of us in any way. We were bringing in a party of 6 and could not get a time that was agreeable to all and 2 of the men have a hard time hearing so the noise level is often an issue. I contacted Nick and he was able to accommodate us in a side room. Such unexpected gracious hospitality! As we were seated the room just glowed with welcome. Tanya our server was there to greet us and to take care of any request. The food was beautifully presented and an explosion of flavor in each bite. The table side sweet potato presentation was well done and again the flavors danced on the tongue! Sushi was so so fresh and each presentation carefully done. My sea bass melted in my mouth with me wanting more. Justin helped serve a special addition of eggplant and we began talking about incredible customer service and expectations. Clearly, this evening exceeded my expectations and was a dining experience from start to finish. The dessert finale was the cheesecake for 2 and it absolutely was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. But one final note… I had on black wool pants and the white napkin left lint on my pants. I mentioned it to Tanya who appears with a lint roller! Really! As we left, thanks all around and hugs! Thank you Nick and your staff. And thank you Wegmans for affording was such a jewel in our midst to experience at Next Door!

    As always.. very excellent experience.. the prices for the main course us bit expensive specially you dont get an side with the meal.. meaning if you order fish, chicken or steakyou will get the meat on its own which is very expensive and then have to buy side dish with it. However, over all is very good quality restaurant.
