I was definitely looking forward to patronizing One Rochester (for the 2nd time) on a lazy Friday evening. I vaguely remembered the following about One Rochester from my last visit - great drinks and a lovely ambience. I wondered if there was anything left to impress me.
One Rochester is not new to most. Everyone has probably heard about it in some way or another. As I stepped into the tranquil surroundings, I felt calm and relaxed almost immediately. And that is perhaps the greatest strength of One Rochester.
My companion and I were instantly greeted with a smile and ushered to our reserved table. We were duly warned about the slippery wooden floor boards, and presented with a menu shortly after we sat down. We were fussy that evening, and decided to change seats. We were allowed to do so without a fuss. I was rather impressed when the staff barely batted an eyelid when we started shifting the tables and chairs around, so that we were in the most comfortable seating possible. That scored a couple extra points.
