This place was fabulous. Every attention was given to the detail of the cocktails, the menu, and the desserts. If I had to complain I would say that the walnut pasta did not have any salt, everything else was quite amazing including a very good burger, multiple salads that we ordered, the braised fennel, The peach cocktail, the black tea cocktail, the violently citrus cocktail, and the basque cheese cake.

This place was seriously incredible. From the food to the staff and atmosphere. You must must MUST have their house made malloreddus!! It was to die for.
Some tips, make reservations, and make them well in advance because the only nonreservation area is the bar. The only sign disclosing the place is this small plaque at the door. Their menu remains relatively stagnant, but the dishes are so delicious. Starting from top to bottom on the menu, you go from smaller appetitizers to large entrees. They recommend ordering a few things for the table like Tappas style to get the most for the experience. Also try their cocktails, seriously.
I will always come back here.

Food was amazing 🤩
Service is awesome 👍
Atmosphere was a little loud but normal for a busy place.
Experience over all is good place.

Loved this place. We had the burger, the double chicken fries, the duck breast, and the ricotta sacchettoni. It was all great. The chicken was the most tender and delicious chicken I've ever had. The duck was very good, but honestly not better than the chicken. Both of them were served on a really tasty bed of some pureed sauce.
The fries were perfectly done, and extremely delicious. Oh, and the fancy sauce, which I believe they said was ketchup, mayo, and brandy, was really amazing.
The burger was great, it was well seasoned, but in a way that really complemented the beef, not overpowered.
Their homemade ice creams were also very well done, with really good and unique flavors.
Cocktails were also different but very well done.

Gone with family for Friday night dinner with reservations. The place was packed, loud and there was music. Long wait for the food...but it was worth it. Burger was the best.

Stopped in for a craft cocktail on the way to dinner around the corner. The atmosphere is really cool and current. Staff were professional and friendly. Drinks were well made and appetizers were excellent. Highly recommended and we can’t wait to return for dinner. Definitely need reservations for dinner.

Good Luck is always one of my absolute favorite restaurants to go to in the city, and i always choose it for my birthday dinner! amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Everything is served family style, so it’s a great opportunity to try a bunch of dishes. order the good luck burger- you will never, ever be disappointed. the burger- cooked and seasoned to perfection. the good luck “fancy sauce”? insane. iconic. incredible. I want to buy it by the gallon and put it on everything. service is always impeccable, friendly, and prompt, and the servers are extremely knowledgeable. one of the best restaurants in Rochester!!

Embarrassed to admit this was my first time at Good Luck but I loved it! I understand the hype! Food and drinks were awesome and I definitely want to experience more of the menu when I go back! Service was great and JJ the waiter was so personable and kind! Will definitely return soon!

Very good food and very good service. We had a large party and they managed to get all of our food out together without any of it being cold. Wait staff was present but not intrusive. I don't drink but friends were impressed with the creative mixed drinks.

Three shared a salad, Gnocchi, and lamb. All very good. Excellent service. Good attention to a food allergy. I'm not a huge fan of large, "for the table" plates, but it worked out this time. I don't live in Rochester, but will probably eat at Good Luck again the next time I visit.

Their menu is made for sharing and everything we ordered was delicious. The restaurant has a really nice vibes to it too. 8.8/10 would recommend it.

I'd always wanted to try this place. Living in ROC has its advantages, and not having to make a reservation a month in advance for two people is something I am accustomed to. So when we waited five weeks to get a table for two, I couldn't help but ask myself if all the other patrons here had to do the same. Maybe there's a secret queue I'm not privy to. I digress.
A place for Gen Z and young millennials to savor, and for good reason, the inspired food and cocktail creations and warehouse/factory (yet cozy) atmosphere are an *experience*!
My partner had the Sicilian pizza. It looked thick and heavy. Boy was I fooled; it was light, while savory. I would go back just for that. I got the surf and turf, which was sea scallops and lamb chop, both cooked perfectly, moist, just the right doneness for both. Both dishes had an overall good flavor palate, and this makes the entire visit positively differentiated from other 'trendy' spots, and one of the main reasons I have already made another reservation. Once again, for five weeks from now??? It's worth the wait.
About half the meals were couples sharing the burger entrée, with the huge pile of fries. I hear it's quite good, but I couldn't convince myself to order a burger with all the other good options available (and my partner is a vegetarian). Maybe next time, because they were quite popular! My surf and turf was a single serving for sure (see pic) but the pizza was made to share.
Nice cocktails as well. I forget the name, but I got one w/ lemon, lavender, and egg white.

Very nice place. Spent last Thursday evening there for my buddies pre-wedding/post-rehearsal dinner. Nice settling with all the candles. Got a burger to go because I had flown all day from Florida and JetBlue had lost my bag so I had to frantically go clothes shopping because I had nothing to wear for the next day for the wedding. Had a wonderful time here with friends. Bartender staff was overall pleasant except for the one taller male bartender who subbed me all night. The shorter guy and the other 2 lady bartenders were wonderful. All in all, a great place with amazing ambiance.

Wonderful GIANT burger with these thin little yummy fries. The buzz lite water melon cocktail 🥰🥹 made me feel like I sipped on summer in a cup. The low lighting is a vibe very bromantic. Excellent service, excellent food. The steak was very very very fatty, 😣 maybe idk much about steak but that wasn't very high qualitaaaay. It was fat tayyyyy. But over All 10/10 reccomendddd the bathroom has burning candles everywhere and mirrors. Chefs kissy kisssss

This place is a classic upscale new American restaurant. This place has a lot of hype around it, so I figured I’d check it out.
For the food, we got this rabbit food-esque appetizer which actually ended up balancing out the heaviness of our entree, the burger. The burger was probably the best I’ve had in my life. Really nice crust on the outside, and the shoestring fries were delish.
The food was great, but what really stood out to us was the service. Our server Luis was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide us through our choices. Seriously 10/10 hospitality.
For sure a bit pricy (especially if ya hit the sauce hard like we did), but it’s a nice splurge spot to bring loved ones.
Is it the best restaurant in Rochester (as I’ve seen others claim)? I’d say no. But it was pretty damn good and I’ll be coming again.

Exceptional food and service. Nearly flawless. I'll be thinking about some of the dishes and flavors for several days.

Was invited here for a family special event. First impression is key. From the hostess to the bartender, waitress and waiters all were friendly, warm and welcoming. The waitress and waiters were attentive. The owner should be proud of having such a great team of employees. The pizza, burger and steak were delicious, kudos to the chefs and kitchen team. I also tried the chocolate cake and carrot cake for dessert, they were rich and scrumptious. Did I mention the steak?!
Brenda Acquard Jamalkowski
The food was so good. Our waiter, Kevin truly made the experience great. He explained items we had questions about and was very attentative. Would defienetely recommend this place!!!
Jodi Kane
Fabulous! Every dish we ordered was better than the next. Red lentils with sweet potato, acorn squash, flank steak, apple "crisp". Everything was excellent. The wait staff was friendly and efficient, the cocktails were unique and wonderful. Can't wait to go back.
Joelle Baron Cain
I was very concerned because we were dining with a very picky teen and the menu was very different than what he is used to ordering when dining out. Our waiter was fantastic and engaging. The family style meal was beyond delicious as was dessert and the picky teen can't get back there fast enough. Thank you for a wonderful start to a new year!
Jennifer Pugsley-Knapp
Definitely the best restaurant in Rochester. The food is always incredible, wait staff is amazing and Meghann is the BEST! Makes you feel like the most important customer they have even when the place is packed! My favorite place to eat by far.

Jennifer Jones-Hannan
Our waiter, Kevin, was probably the 1st best thing about our dining experience tonight. Personable, easy to talk to and always one step ahead of our requests. If you can sit with him...do it! The food...get the bone in ribeye and thank us later. Hope to be back in the spring! (Only gripe was it got too warm in there)
Pippa Bianco
Hands down the best food in Rochester. Our waiter Kevin was awesome. We will return....often.
