Finally. After the crazy year of 2020 we are back to writing about our dining experiences! This last week we dined at Los Arcos the first night we could after some of the restrictions were lifted on restaurants. Los Arcos is located by the Rochester International Airport. We have not had Mexican food like this!…
Prescott’s
We have talked about dining here but then always chose something else. Why- we don’t know. We should have tried it long ago. Here we found a cafe type atmosphere and delicious dishes made from fresh ingredients. It is definitely easy to believe it when they say they are a farm to table establishment….
The Pondy
Waterfront dining just a short drive from Rochester…the Pondy on Lake Zumbro is worth the beautiful drive to get to and is just a few minutes from the city. Proof that business pages and advertising do work we just happened to see this on Facebook. The Pondy is very unassuming when you drive up to…
Fat Willy’s
It’s been awhile since we have dined here and this was a spur of the moment lunch that landed us here again. We were so glad we did! The special was smoked brisket tacos and they were amazing! Three of them are served in soft tortillas packed with delicious brisket, cheese, pico de gallo and…
Cameo at the Castle
We had been anticipating our visit here since they opened and even had reservations in December but an unexpected family event kept us from going. We finally were able to dine there this weekend. Cameo is located on the lowest level of what is now called the Castle which is located on Broadway. The building…
Lake Pepin Dining!
Every summer we head over to the Mississippi and look for new places to dine next to the water. That area is so close to the Med City and has so much beauty and relaxation to offer. Last summer we found the Lake House and since then we have returned several times. Everything we have…
Pappy’s Place
Our newest fave! When you walk into this unassuming place and look around it feels and looks like you are waking into your favorite neighborhood bar and grill in a smaller city. Some of the items that we found on the menu did not really jive with what we would expect to find. We…
Hot Chip Burger Bar
Run:)!! You will want to experience one of Rochester’s newest swank eateries very soon. Hot Chip replaces Zzest in the strip mall south of Apache Mall near Trader Joe’s. We visited this revamped establishment on the second weekend that it was open and it was packed. Even though there were a lot of tables full…
Happy Apps #2 ~ Chester’s!
We love Chester’s. It is conveniently located downtown in the Shops at University Square area on the street level. As you walk in the door the aromas and warmth from the wood fire oven and the brick and dim lit decor welcome you with a warm and comfortable feel. Happy apps can be ordered…
Happy Apps #One
Happy New Year! To start the year off with something a little different, we decided to go on a happy hour adventure through Rochester at the beginning of this year! This will be the first of many weekly (hopefully) posts. Just maybe, you will be inspired to quick grab a seat and enjoy the eats…
Casablanca ~ Our 2nd Visit
Scott’s review~ We’ve been here before so the service and food quality wasn’t a surprise. Again, a FANTASTICALLY MEMORABLE meal! We were celebrating my (Scott) birthday so it was clear that I was going to get the finest meal on the menu. It just so happened that I saw what I wanted a few days…
Saints on 2nd
Another hotel restaurant and another success! If you have ever driven by St. Mary’s Hospital from HWY 52 you have gone by the Courtyard by Marriott across from Saint Marys Hospital and this Marriott houses Saints on 2nd restaurant on the main floor. Parking is easy in the hotel ramp and the food rises above what…
