Lilac City Grille Rochester NY

Robert Gallentine

Lilac City is one of our top three places to eat in the entire state! If you like fish, the fresh bruschetta Haddock is insanely good AND almost to much for one person to eat. Every wait staff member we've ever had has been pleasant, super friendly, helpful and on top of it. **Lately the kitchen has been slower than in the past, but don't give up on them (or blame the waitstaff).* Every one of us love the entire menu, friends we've recommended now make Lilac a staple of their date night rotations!

Hit this spot on the random today. Working personally in customer service all weekend: Mondays are my Saturdays. What a great find. The staff clearly keeps up the kitchen properly as our fried Pickles and other appetizers were clean and properly cooked. My two beverages from the bar were well balanced and tasty. Staff went to full length to make sure the food allergy in our party was addressed and four entrees were all plated to table really well with nothing that had been sitting. We are too quick to post poor reviews when something isn't to our liking, but post-covid we need to do better to keep a local jewel like this in business. I met the owner after our meal and I can see why the quality is high. Don't be fooled by the location or the unassuming frontage people. This is a must visit.

Over an hour wait just to get a table for two, even though there were multiple seats open.
