- BBrittanyNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTrevor, the GM, checked on us multiple times throughout our dining experience. Meat variation was awesome, cooked to perfection, and the servers were very accommodating even given the fact it was Valentines Day and the busiest we have ever seen the location (probably 10th time here). Could not have made it any better, A++ experience! Never disappointed.More infoTexas De Brazil - RochesterPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Rochester•4.5
- RRobertNew York State •25 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt had been a few years since we dined at Next Door, and we did not know what to expect. Needless-to-say our Valentine's dinner was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing, including our waitress, Bethany who was super attentive and friendly, and the dining room manager, Sean, who was actively engaged overseeing and helping the wait staff. Even the bus girl topped off my waterglass no fewer than 5 times. The food was superb - and we especially enjoyed the featured Australian Wagyu steak, along with the grilled bronzini. The chocolate toffee lava cake was to die for, and a perfect end to our Valentine's meal. The live entertainment (guitar/vocal) really added to the atmosphere. Bravo Next Door!More infoNext Door by WegmansPrice: Very Expensive• Fusion / Eclectic• Rochester•4.8
- DDavidNew York City •8 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe have never had a bad meal at Nolan’s. We eat there 5-6 times annually. It’s a favorite for our special nights out. Last night was equally favorable with great service, a cozy ambience as we sat near the fireplace and a delicious and beautifully prepared meal. Our only concern (a first) was that the food was not served as hot as we anticipated. It was not cold or luke warm but not hot enough to last most of the meal. We did share that information with the waitress after the meal was over. We’ll absolutely return. It’s a well run establishment that provides a great dining experience.More infoNolan's on Canandaigua LakePrice: Moderate• Steak• Canandaigua•4.8
