The Gate House - Rochester (NY)

5 /5 Alicia Coleates: Had THE BEST dinner tonight! Omg!! Came here with a party of 7 for a birthday dinner. We got placed in a side room with 3 other tables. It was cozy and quiet and we had enough table space as well as space between tables. Our waiter was attentive and immediately starting to take care of us. He shared the specials and gave us time to look over the menu. This was my 3rd time at the restaurant and decided to do an entree over a burger, which I thoroughly enjoyed last time. I was going between a couple items but landed on the Guiness Braised Short Ribs. It came with Bleu cheese mashed potatoes, root veggies, stout gravy and French green beans, and IT.WAS.FABULOUS. So much flavor. The short ribs were fork tender. It was all cooked to perfection with nice chunks of Bleu cheese in the mashed. It was comfort on a plate that I didnt want to end. Three other people got pizzas which looked and smelled delicious. I did try a bite of one and the flavor was also very good with perfectly cooked crispy crust. Someone else got The Wease burger, cooked medium like asked, had big slices of crispy bacon and onions. Specialty cocktails ordered for the table were tasty with aesthetically pleasing presentation. Overall, we cant wait to come back.

5 /5 Dana Zillioux: Was a great place to celebrate a birthday. The variety of the menus is great for those who are picky eaters and dietary restrictions. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Pricing was reasonable for a meal with 4 people who all had cocktails too.

5 /5 JitkaKac: I would give 10 stars! Everyone working here is amazing, welcoming and most helpful. Our server Sam recommended delicious meals and customized drinks for us. Their veggie plate is enormous and yummy! The place is very cozy and unique, it gets busy so be prepared for some level of noise. Clean restrooms. We parked across at the small parking lot across the street.

5 /5 TheGuyFromNJ: The Gate House is one of those places where you sit down and immediately relax because nothing feels off. Service was on point from start to finish, and a big part of that was our server, Gabrielle. She was attentive without hovering, actually knew the menu, and checked in at the right times without making it feel like a routine, which somehow feels rare lately. I went with the grilled salmon and it delivered. Cooked right, still moist, good char, and whatever glaze they’re using actually tastes like someone thought about it instead of dumping some random liquid on fish. Sat on mashed potatoes that were real mashed potatoes, not whipped wallpaper paste, with asparagus that still had a spine. The plate looked good and more importantly ate even better. I left full, satisfied, and not mentally drafting a complaint in my head, which is about the highest compliment I can give a restaurant. I’d absolutely go back.

4 /5 Caroline McClendon: This place was great, clean and the staff were really nice. The food was delish, with big portions. My friend had the fish fry and it was literally so big hanging of the plate. I had the grilled Salmon and it was delicious! They had a tasty sauce on the Salmon that was so good! The bathroom was even beautiful, they really work too make this a great atmosphere for customers.
