Best food and service in Rochester. Staff is very knowledgeable of menu items that the restaurant offers and can make great pairing recommendations. Amazing selection of wine and top grade steaks and fish. The environment is warm and inviting and has a lot of charm and character. Well preserved property that was built almost a century ago. They also offer private rooms for special evenings with friends or business meetings. Highly recommend.
First time here and it definitely won’t be my last. Everything was perfect from the excellent service to the timely manner our food arrived . The steak just melts in your mouth it’s so tender and delicious, the bread has the nice crisp edges but warm and soft inside. The salad the salad alone is to die for. The sweet potato weren’t too sweet they were just right. The salmon was a hit as well. I’ve never had salmon made with the peppers and veggies cooked under that was amazing.
The best meal I have ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. A very quaint place. Our waiter was wonderful as well as the other staff that worked along with him. Received a complimentary drink because we were celebrating our anniversary.
50th birthday dinner, and everything was awesome!! The food, service, atmosphere, new decor...all top notch!! The staff clearly worked so well together. Can't wait to go back. I've loved this place since they first opened but they have really stepped it up even more!! Thanks for a great meal and experience!!
We had dinner here on January 16th. By far the best cocktails, steak, service and all around romantic atmosphere in all of Rochester. Leo was our server, he was wonderful!!! The rib eyes were melt in your mouth wonderful and we enjoyed sharing the grilled asparagus and gratin potato casserole...... and we topped it off with a fabulous apple crisp ala mode. A fabulous date night!!!!!!!

Went last night the food is absolutely amazing!!!! The trio was cooked perfectly, Oscar style is my favorite. We got the Clams casino, beet salad, Brussels, sweet potato mash, and crisp w the coconut almond ice cream and every single item was perfect. It was a beautiful meal start to finish, this is by far the best service experience that I have ever had in the city of Rochester. If you have never been I highly suggest you go it's a very special experience that every couple should have.
Delicious as always! Not only is it the best place for steak in Rochester, it's one of the best places anywhere. Service was fantastic as well.
My wife and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary at the restaurant. The food was excellent. I had the escargot and the wife had the lobster bis for appetizers. Absolutely delicious. The whole meal was excellent. The mood was subtle conversations with a casual laughter. Lighting was very fitting and the staff very professional and mature. We'll be back for sure. We found eating there is a special occasion.
We went for ny husbands 30th birthday and it was perfect! The atmosphere and ambience was romantic and calm. The food was outstanding! I have never eaten scallops so good in my life and what a delicious steak! Wow! We can't wait to go back!
Probably one of the best steakhouses I have ever been to. Extremely high care went into every detail. My family could have sat there all night. We can’t wait to return!!
Large portions, excellent service. Our server even brought a complimentary spilt of champagne with dessert when we mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary.
Great service and best dry aged steaks in Rochester !!
What a pleasant surprise to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. The service was impeccable and more importantly, the food was outstanding! I will definitely go back, hopefully soon.
Excellent food, service and ambiance. One of Rochester’s finest.
Love, Love, Love this place... been coming here for years and I can truly say it's one of the most consistent places with friendly staff! The food is always outstanding! GREAT STEAKS! They are under new ownership and I've been there twice since, they seem to be doing a very good job. They've made some revamps... all good... I'm actually heading up there this Friday (my Meat day!) And I can't wait! Perfect place for a night out w/ that special someone or even w/ Friends/Family for a good time!
This photo was actually my last meal there... incredible!

Tournedos is the fine dining experience you wish you felt every time you went out for a meal.
From the moment we pulled up to the valet we knew it was going to be a great evening. The staff is extremely kind and personable. The ambiance and atmosphere inside was incredible.
The crab cake was the best we have ever had. We vacation in Maine every summer strictly for the seafood and this crab cake was better than anything we have experienced there.
My scallops and her filet were both outstanding and cooked perfectly. The side of onion rings we shared were fantastic, especially with the Cajun dipping sauce.
I wrote down in our reservation that we would be there celebrating my fiancés birthday and they brought us over a complimentary champagne toast towards the end of our meal.
Overall there was not a single thing we could complain or fret about. We both agreed it was the best date night and dinner we have had in our five years together. This will absolutely be our new go-to spot for celebrations and any time I just want to eat good and feel good while I am doing it.
I'm always happy to refer people to this wonderful establishment. The food, service and overall ambience is satisfying. I encourage anyone who want a new experience in fine dining, to give it a chance. A great first date kinda place 😉
One of the finest steaks that I have been fortunate enough to enjoy. The oysters...the pork belly...the setting. The service. If it was Rochester's best kept secret it should not be. Fantastic place 😀
My husband and I went for our anniversary and this was our first time here. The service, from the minute we walked in, was excellent! Our waitress was great and stopped by to check in with us to make sure we didn’t need anything. Our food was great. I got the domestic wagyu strip steak and oh my god it was the best steak I’ve had! I also got a side of mashed potatoes, which was enough for both of us! My husband got the salmon and he said his was great as well! We will definitely come back here again!
Absolutely Love this restaurant 😋!!! THE Best Steakhouse in Rochester!! If you're in Rochester NY and you want some fine dining or even a succulent steak to-go, please check out Tournedos. You will NOT be disappointed.
Not sure I’ve had a better filet in my entire life. Service is second to none. Can’t find anything wrong with this place. Truly an incredible dining experience.
The restaurant was good. Pricing as you should expect. The Steak and Salmon we ordered was excellent. The desserts were really good. The mashed potatoes and calamari were excellent.
Food was excellent, but service was very slow. Waiter seemed to deliberately ignore us and was not friendly. Some of the details of a fine restaurant were missing, such as crumbing the table between courses and offering a taste of the wine before it was poured. Despite the good food, I would hesitate to invite guests.
My first time in this amazing place. It did not disappoint! From the service to the food, it was a great experience. Highly recommend!!
Best steak in Rochester. Of course the cuts are a step below the high end Vegas or New York City cuts. The dry aged cuts have good flavor.
If you want to splurge a bit, I'd recommend renting the library room. It was great for my parent's 50th anniversary. You can hear each other talk and your waiter gets an assistant. The main restaurant seemed a bit loud and crowded for the price point. The dessert cart is impressive. It has quality dishes and liquors.
If I have any critiques, I would say our primary waiter seemed a bit nervous serving the private room, but he did just fine. The dessert cart confusingly had aperitifs (before dinner liquors) and digestifs (after dinner liquors) but did have a prominently displayed bottle of Louis XIII. These details didn't take away from the experience.
Overall, one cut above a Morton's or Ruth Chris of most average sized cities.
This is a high-end steak house. Don't go here looking for a cheap cut or to be frugal. You get what you pay for at a place like this. They have A5 Waygu if you really want to splurge, but their dry-aged porterhouse is my favorite. Service is impeccable. Each table is assigned at least 2 people to help pour drinks and clean up. A wonderful dining experience all around.
Their calamari is top-notch too. Highly recommend that. Dessert was just OK. Not bad, but just alright. Our table seemed to enjoy the pear-infused cognac a ton though, so maybe stick with booze or their house grappa.
The only issue here was the waiter, who was so off we felt uncomfortable. He had ZERO personality, friendliness, was stone faced the 2.5 hours it took for meal. It was so off-putting. The helper he had was so friendly, professional, polite and sweet, we wished she was our server. Gave an extra star for her service. One other issue, expect to have a cash price, and card price on bill. The increase for credit card was shocking, have never encountered this before, anywhere. Felt like a slap on a bill close to 500.00 All from apps, meal, sides, deserts were very good. The calamari app was the best I've ever had. For the price and reputation of this establishment, you would expect to be treated better.
(Only three star for rooms because I didn't stay in one) but everything else was perfect service was speedy and just on time every time. I had the porterhouse, and it made the rest of My table jealous so I highly recommend it.
Upscale dining, expensive and worth every penny! Food preparation, presentation, delivery and taste outstanding. Excellent and courteous staff from hostess to valet. Special place for a special evening!
We went as a large group and had a pre-determined menu. And sides served in group bowls. The photo is of all the items that I put together. The food was good but not really worth the price tag. The sides were better than the wagyu. Service was attentive, not much personality but she took very good care of us. I wouldn't go back if I was paying the bill but as a corporate event, sure.
Hands down one of the best restaurants (if not the best) in all of Rochester. Appetizers were perfect, steaks amazing, and sides were great. Nothing but excellence. If I was able, I would eat here all the time.
