Roux - Rochester (NY)

5 /5 Rodd Riesenberger: 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!

5 /5 Eric Ellis: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute gem of an upscale neighborhood restaurant! Every visit (and there have been many) has been nothing short of exceptional. The specialty menu is creative and perfectly executed, each dish feels thoughtful and unique, never gimmicky. The crafted cocktails are some of the best in the city: balanced, inventive, and made with real care behind the bar. What truly sets this place apart is the service. The bar team and servers are genuinely warm, attentive, and knowledgeable without ever being stuffy. They are welcoming, make great recommendations, and make every evening feel special. Whether you’re perched at the bar for drinks and small plates or enjoying a full dinner at a table, the experience is consistently outstanding. If you’re looking for a refined yet welcoming spot with incredible food and drinks, look no further. Already counting down the days until my next visit!

5 /5 Jocelin Thomas: We had a great experience brunching at Roux this weekend. Our server Keenan was so lovely, answered our many questions, and had the best vibes. He recommended the autumn hash special and it was sooo delicious full of fall flavors. We loved the truffle scrambled eggs and the maple cardamom bacon was out of this world. Finished with lemon blueberry cake by Brenda and it was full of fresh blueberries. So wonderful. The vibes and atmosphere are wonderful, great decor and cute character. Everyone who works there is kind and sweet, we are big fans and will be back soon. The bathroom is tiny and not accessible (down a few stairs), so be prepared for that if you have accessibility needs. Otherwise, an absolute smash!

4 /5 Culturetravel: Delicious French-style meals and great service. Dessert was too small.

5 /5 Dustin Thomason: Roux on Park Ave was just a phenomenal experience, honestly. Every single thing we had… apps, cocktails, mains… was fantastic with absolutely no misses. The vibe in the place was perfect too… warm, lively, and just really comfortable to be in. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the quality is there, and it felt completely worth it from start to finish. This was one of those meals where everything just landed exactly right.
