I have been to Phillips many times and have never been disappointed. You can get a light meal or an entree and you won't forget to order dessert because a huge display of cakes, pies, and cookies greets you as you walk into the restaurant. There is a cozy booth for romantic dinners or small business lunches, and a private... More

Have always gone to Phillips for their amazing selection of desserts. Love that they offer half desserts, though I love to get a full dessert and have 2 days worth. Austrian Chocolate torte is amazing. We did choose to dine there and the food was pretty good. Service was great and price fair. Can't wait to go back for more... More

Quality food, flavorful, and well prepared is the high note here. The vegetables and salads were obviously fresh. The lemon chicken entrée was tender and delicious with a hint of lemon that was not overpowering. Atmosphere is neat and lace curtain clean. Gentle music plays overhead that allows for normal conversation. The service was polite, although not over the top.... More

My wife's favorite place to get coffee and desert. We have been here five or six times and everytime is great. The deserts are very fresh. The price is a bit high because you get such a big slice of the cake. Overall great place, clean, friendly, and nice atmosphere.

I have eaten lunch here a half dozen times within the past couple of years. Largely as a result of visiting some of the hospitals in the immediate area. For some difficult to explain reason, I don't think I would choose to eat dinner here, unless i lived in the immediate area. And then I think I would eat dinner... More

I hear the carrot cake was amazing. I chose the Almond Raspberry tart. I wanted to go back and get another piece. I had tomato soup and mussels. They were both ok. Tomato soup at Madeleine is better.

I have eaten at Phillips European a handful of times and can summarize my experience in one word: satisfactory. I have eaten in restaurants and cafes in major cities around the world as well as most of the good restaurants in Rochester, and don't think Phillips is even among my favorite top ten. The meals have always been somewhat tasteful,... More

Phillips is a classy place in Brighton that has a varied menu with many dishes I haven't seen elsewhere in Rochester. They always have specials that are unusual and delicious. The staff is very accommodating and truly want to know if you like your food. Once, the waiter noticed I wasn't eating my entree and asked me about it. I... More

This is a great place to go for lunch, dinner, dates, etc. They have a fairly good selection of foods that are resonably priced. But save room for dessert, because this is the highlight of Phillips European! Their desserts are scrumptious, we have never been disappointed. The only problem is that there is too much delicious food to choose from!
