CRISP Rochester - Rochester (NY)

5 /5 Daniel Schiff: While planning a last-minute wedding due to health issues and only one month to spare, we were hoping to find a lovely place to hold dinner after the ceremony. CRISP made it happen on such short notice, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they provided and more. Wendi helped us create a beautiful menu that accommodated everyone’s dietary restrictions, and there isn’t a single bad thing to say about any of the food. Even our non-vegetarian guests were snacking on crispy tofu and going back for seconds of the vegan meatloaf. The braised beef and carrots dish was absolutely delicious, and something I still think about. What really set them apart was the service. About an hour before dinner, we dropped off a few table décor items, planning to set them up ourselves after the ceremony. To our surprise, the servers went ahead and decorated the tables perfectly. It was such a thoughtful gesture that really helped relieve stress on our big day. They even set up a mini bar where guests could walk up and get drinks, another lovely touch that made the evening even more special. We can’t recommend this place enough. Wendi and the entire staff were wonderful, and CRISP can definitely expect us back in the future when we take day trips back to Rochester! (I wish we had taken more photos; the food was *chefs kiss*)

5 /5 Elisabeth Bostwick: We had a fantastic time at Crisp! It was our first visit and we enjoyed our time. All staff we encountered were kind, helpful and professional. We even met one of the owners — you can tell there is a lot of heart behind Crisp. The atmosphere is perfect for gathering with family and friends, or a date night. It’s very welcoming. We enjoyed all of the food — the devil egg flight, braised beef and carrot (mashed potatoes were amaaaazing), mac and cheese (the best ever), and drink — were all incredible! This was our first visit and we look forward to returning! Thank you to all restaurant staff for a wonderful visit.

5 /5 June Keenan: A group of us ladies went to a Drag Brunch for the 10am sitting on a Sunday. The restaurant is cozy yet spacious with a small bar. Considering everyone inside was ordering at once, the food came out pretty quickly and the service was good. The show was fantastic. Definitely entertaining!

5 /5 Nickolas Woll: Easily my favorite restaurant to visit in Rochester and completely unparalleled on a Monday when so many places are closed. The cocktails are wonderfully crafted, all the food I have enjoyed has been incredible. Mandatory to try the chicken appetizer. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. This is such a welcoming space. For the quality of the food and service, the prices are very fair.
