ROUX REVIEWS

Excellent! Our first time visiting Roux and I was very impressed. The atmosphere is cozy with art deco architecture and dim lighting. Our table was waiting for us on our arrival and service was great. Craft cocktails and appetizers were fantastic. We had the Whipped ricotta toast and Potted chicken & foie mousse. They were both outstanding. The chicken cutlet and steak frites au poivre were very good. I’m going to make the frenchie cocktail at home because it was awesome. Thank you all for a great evening with our friends. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!

One of our favorite spots on Park Ave! Really well crafted cocktails and the special’s are always great. Excellent Management and service. David, is an awesome server. I loved the steak, chicken cutlets, the duck, ricotta toast, the salmon, and more! We will continue to take our friends here for brunch and dinner. A WONDERFUL SPOT!

Really cool place! The atmosphere is cozy and charming…. The drinks and door were delicious.

CURE REVIEWS

My favorite restaurant in Rochester! Service is on point and food is top quality! The Beef Bourguignon and Coq Chasseur especially blew me away. Don’t skip on the salad or the green peas! And best cocktails I’ve ever had! They are all great, but the Scotch Louie has changed my perception on cocktails! Complex, balanced and accessible.

We've been to cure multiple times for both brunch and dinner and never been disappointed. They consistently deliver some of the best food and service in Rochester. The cocktails are worth a visit by themselves!

Food was very fresh. Great options to select from. Atmosphere was very cozy.

THE PEPPERED PIG REVIEWS

Ive had alot of Duck and this was hands down the best Duck Confit I've ever had, poblano old fashioned was really unique and very very good. We had Chris the chef and owner (super cool guy!) pick the 5 charcuterie items for us. I'm not big into charcuteries, but he changed that. The cheese and Duck rillette were spectacular, and it came with some of the best bread ive ever had. If you want authentic French food this is the only place to go. 10/10.

My husband and I went here for lunch today and we will definitely be returning. The food was delicious, timely and had very large portions. My husband raved about the pork belly, I enjoyed the Brussel sprouts and chicken cutlet. A must try if you're in webster!

Have been there several times since moving to Webster. Love the atmosphere, service and the food!!! The sweet pea gnocchi and chicken was unbelievable and the baked goat cheese appetizer was delicious with the warm salt bread. Good cocktails, too.
