Tortoise & Hare -Food CA (Near Bronx)

Nate Rifkin Lento is consistently my fiancées and my favorite restaurant, and I dont think they get nearly enough recognition for how good they are compared to places in the area like Redd, Good Luck, Nosh, Cure, and others. This is one of few places in Rochester where it feels like the chef and team have been given creative license to experiment with new dishes consistently, and it works. Its not easy for a restaurant to have a menu that updates as much as Lentos to be as consistently good as they are. Both their kitchen and table staff are excellent. We have made it a habit to stop by every couple months to try their latest options. Some tips and notes from our visits over the last couple years: - If you like mixed drinks on the sweeter side, try the Lady Marmalade - Order the bread service. Its a few bucks for a square of decadent focaccia sized for two. The focaccia has a different blend of ingredients each time weve come (I think they switch it up daily?), so its fun to see what the nightly variation is. - Their fish dishes are usually spectacular. This latest time we went I ordered the miso black cod (as someone who usually does not go for cod) and it blew me away. The exception to this rule seems to be the fish fry; for some reason the couple times weve ordered it, its come out overcooked. - The "quartino" specials for wine are usually a good blend and come as a glass and a half with a small carafe (I didnt know what a "quartino" was, in case others are in the same boat)

Donna Canestraro I recently hosted a surprise birthday party at DAngelo. From my first phone call to the night of the event, it was a wonderful experience. We have eaten there several times for their food is wonderful but hosting a party there was the easiest thing I could do. Gianna and Dominic were so great to work with. All our friends loved the food, the atmosphere and the service. I couldnt ask for a better experience. Thank you!

Jesse Reinhold Was checking out the local area and this place caught my eye. It was recommended to me and now I understand why. They were having $5 pint beers which include all your specialty beers which is unheard of and they were doing 50% off appetizers (except the pork belly which is market price up here). I had the clouds in the sky and the 1812 beers which were both excellent, flavorful and not overly hoppy. I also had the duck wings with the buffalo maple sauce which was outstanding! They had a wonderful fry on the duck wings and the sauce was a perfect blend (im not the biggest buffalo sauce guy). They do not have a view of the water, so be aware, there is another resturant next to them that blocks that view. They did have Coyote and Crow come play on the patio which was a refreshing folk acoustic, folk punk type style. Couldnt find them on Spotify but hopefully they have music out there somewhere. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by the assistant manager Elizabeth who was extremely helpful and caring. Good luck when you help to open the second location in Watertown!

Amanda Gallagher We tried this restaurant tonight & I could not be more impressed! Every item is, or is available, gluten-free. The only things not gluten-free is the pasta & rolls, but gluten-free is available. The fryer is gluten-free only so fries are safe for even Celiacs! I personally had the fish & chips, which is fried gluten free cod, & was incredible! Other menu items (curry & fried rice special with GF fried tofu pictured) also looked amazing! There is no doubt that will be back again soon!!!! Need to try the mac & cheese and so many other menu options!!!!

Laura We chose Legends patio for our daughters HS graduation party. I cannot express how PERFECT it was! The staff was incredible!! They were attentive and helpful in ways that went above and beyond throughout the whole party. The food, the service, the atmosphere— it was everything we could have hoped for and so much more!! Highly recommend!

Jen Donohoo We stopped by Enzo’s en route to the Botanical Gardens. My first time on Arthur Ave and was a treat. We didn’t have a reservation and the wait was over 30min, but they had some heated seating on the patio which was perfect. The food was delicious. The wine/liquor list left a bit to be desired. Service was attentive and we were in and out pretty quickly.
