We had a great anniversary dinner. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Jonathan, the dining room manager, topped the night off with pure kindness. I told him they needed to bring back Sanders fudge for their cream puffs and we discussed how Sanders no longer sells to restaurants. As we wrapped up our meal Jonathan presented us with a SANDERS cream puff. He ran to Sanders and bought a jar… what a guy. We will be back and look forward to conversing with Jonathan. Thanks for the top notch customer service.

Came here for Sweetest Day and my girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience. Jonathan (Jon) was our server and he did an amazing job and was very hard working and made perfect recommendations off of the menu. We even saw him inspecting dishes and wiping the rim of a dish off at another table so that it had perfect presentation before it was served to the customer. A truly fine dining experience and a place that goes the extra mile for the customers. We loved the butter and the black sea salt for the bread, the filet was perfectly prepared “Pittsburgh Style” which is a lost art at many steakhouses, the frog legs were to die for, and the fries that were served with them were like the best McDonald’s fries you’ve ever had and then elevated to the next level. My girlfriend had the seafood Ravioli which she said was stuffed with lobster and loved it. We finished the night off with an awesome monster sized hot fudge cream puff and I had the best Brown Sugar Old Fashioned ever served and my girlfriend had a very tasty cucumber martini. Ryan also popped in at our table a few times and was truly a pleasure to speak with. You can tell that he truly cares about the restaurant, his customers, and his coworkers. This was our first time at the Rochester Chop House and we will 100% be back very soon for another memorable evening. 5 stars and 2 big thumbs up!
