Swan Dive — East End, City of Rochester

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
