My husband and I went here recently, and loved it. We shared the smoked salmon salad, the calamari, the soft shell crab (which was one of the specials), and the short ribs. Everything was wonderful! I've read some reviews stating that the portions are too small — for us, they were perfect. Actually, the calamari was much larger than we... More

Went to 2Vine for dinner - Friday night. There was good and bad and really bad. The menu is descent -- seafood choices that you might not get else where and combined with the overplayed standbys you see everyone (calamari, beef etc.) - so if you're adventurous or predictable in what you order you should be able to find a...

Okay, I have read all the reviews about this restaurant and want to offer my insight. I have been to 2Vine on 4 occasions and my review would be the exact each time. In a nutshell the food is very good, the portions are extremely small, the price is exorbitantly high, and the restaurant is very loud. The quality of... More

Very nice place. Service is good, food is good. Very noisy but that's what creates that dining mood.

Excellent place for business or romantic dinner. Homemade pasta is to die for and the wine list is excellent. Other guests had the bass and were equally impressed. I will definitely plan to eat there again on my next trip to Rochester.

If you want an amazing night out, go to 2 Vine. I would venture to say this is the best restaurant in the city of Rochester. The menu is always seasonal, fresh, and delicious.

Food is very pricey, but the atmosphere is so cool. Very relaxed but classy. Not stuffy at all though. I have to say the cote de beuf for 2 (bout $60) was probably the best "steak" I have had in my entire life. It was amazing and well worth it. Plus the meal is huge so you will have lots... More

We went there recently for dinner. We are regulars there from march to oct. we Lasted 30 min. We saw friends leaving who expressed how bad their dinner was. We decided to spend some time at the bar first. Many empty tables, yet inexperienced hostess made us wait. Vibe just wasn't there. Changed menu, cheap with the bread, and lackluster... More
