Swan Dive — East End, City of Rochester
“You order at the bar and they give you a number that you leave at your table. There's seating all over the place, including outside. We decided to sit outside because it was a nice, warm evening and we don't get many of those.” - Em R
Tavern at Gibbs — Center City, City of Rochester
“Friendly and attentive staff, delicious food and drink, and lovely outdoor seating with the most romantic lighting perfect a summer night out. French onion soup, fish and chips, and wings all cooked and flavored to perfection.” - Valerie S
