By far one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. Limited menu which means super fresh ingredients and they did not disappoint. Everything we ate was delicious. We had the Shrimp Rolls, Mushroom Bruchetta and a special tonight of a Branzino Filet and they were all so well balanced and well seasoned. We tried raw oysters for the first time and they seemed to melt in your mouth. The oyster itself was ice cold and so fresh tasting with the scallion and tuna on top. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is close knit for sure but cozy at the same time. You warm up to it fast. The food is made right in front of you in these super cool steam powered Wok looking pans haha… I really can’t say enough good things about this place. We will be back and SOON!!
The food was flavorful and fulling without feeling heavy afterwards. Oysters were fresh and delicious. Wonderful customer service. The restaurant gave a home like feeling with the open kitchen. Definitely recommend and will be coming back.
So good!! Went on a Weds at 7:30pm and lucked out - we were seated immediately. Love the space and the music choice was top notch. Food was delicious with reasonable prices and large portions. (Not a huge menu so picky eaters beware.) We shared the salmon plate, the creamy garlic mussels, and a sausage octopus shrimp jambalaya, all of which were hits! (We both came from the climbing gym and we were stuffed with just these three dishes.) Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes! Parking is street side.
I was just visiting and I don’t know the standards of food in Rochester, but I would say the food here was good. Not great. Overall, I would say give this place a try. The menu options were interesting and simple. Most of what I tired was pretty flavorful. I liked the chowder and the shrimp slider. I didn’t care for the risotto or the olive bread and fig dessert. The service was good and it was nice interacting with the chef’s. If I lived here I would probably give it one more try.
A fun, very small place that offers a casual vibe with freshly prepared food. It's good, even very good, just not as extraordinary as perhaps we'd been built up to expect. Oysters were very good, smoked salmon plate was outstanding, chilled pasta with lobster seemed to skimp on the lobster, and the mussels were a mixed result, with the mussels themselves a little mealy and fishy, while the broth was wonderful. The service was delightful and I'd go back, just with lowered expectations next time around.

Worth every one if it's five stars. The service was amazing and attentive with each server listening to us chat about our lives as they brought us each dish as it finished in the kitchen. The dishes themselves were full of flavor and the best that I've had of each of them.
I personally thought the oysters were the best I've had our of NYC and would be happy to have them every time I visit. The clam chowder was more buttery and less creamy than other versions but the butter and salt added to the in the shell clams and salmon in such a way that brought the dish from great to an experience. The shrimp sliders were fantastic, a perfect blend if shrimp, mayo, cucumber, celery, lemon, and dill to make a refreshing delightful treat. The seafood risotto was one of the cheesiest I've ever had having pesto dance on the plate with lobster, each happily holding their own combined with the parmesan.
I will absolutely be back every time I'm in Rochester. The service makes you feel like family and the food makes you feel like you've found a home.
A phenomenal meal and great atmosphere. The shrimp salad and lobster and crab risotto were standouts, and the corn cake for dessert was unbelievably delicious. This is a tiny 16-seater, so show up early or expect to wait! We will be back—can’t wait to try everything on the menu!
Absolutely incredible. We got nearly everything on the menu (sharing with the table) and every dish was better than the last. Seriously fabulous and 💯 worth the wait! We almost never leave reviews. It's that good.
Exciting, original and fabulous food. The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. Very friendly staff. I would recommend this spot to anyone.
I brought my wife to Rella for her birthday tonight. Everything was excellent including the service. If you want to know what a really good chowder tastes like, include that in your order (New Englanders welcome). Same goes for the Caesar salad. It's KILLER! The oysters are fresh and sweet. Order a bunch of stuff and share it. It's really good food.
