Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

CRAVE - Rochester offers a "fantastic" dining experience with a vibrant ambiance and attentive service. Guests rave about the "excellent" sea bass and "delicious" signature truffle fries. The open-air atmosphere and retractable roof add to its charm. While some found sushi inconsistent, the diverse menu and "superb" pasta options impress.

Calamari and Mediterranean Chicken were excellent!!! Lobster Cavatappi was ok but not great and definitely not worth the price tag. Restaurant should reconsider the tile floors and chair options. Very loud and annoying.

Excellent food. Service was great once someone showed up to our table. We were seated and it took 15 minutes before anyone came to the table. After that the service was excellent. They were gracious and comp’d our appetizers to help make up for the wait. Overall the experience was very good.

Would not recommend! Service was horrible as we did not see our waitress for over 45 minutes after taking our drink order. Sushi rolls were less than impressive. Absolute terrible service and it was not busy at all! Waitress even brought us the wrong check! Will not go back and DO NOT RECOMMEND ! We literally ordered McDonald's as soon as we left.

Overall, quite a pleasant experience. We came for the Rochester restaurant week special and found it to be good value. It was busy, and the service was good despite the busyness. Tasty good, decent portions, and lovely open-air ambiance.

Unreal space (main dining room with retractable roof!) and easy to get to from downtown. Our mains were overshadowed by our apps but great meal overall and service was excellent. Will return.
