Olde Brick House - Rochester

I ordered the tenderloin steak and the wild rice pilaf with mushrooms it came with was not good. The Guinness gravy on it was extremely strong tasting with this unpleasant taste, which I 'm not sure what it was. It didn 't really taste like beer but it had a very overpowering flavor of some sort and I could not eat it. The steak itself was adequate. The full ciabatta was very small, especially for the price and considering many restaurants give you bread for free. It came with a paltry amount of butter that looked more like the dregs of someone 's butter they were done with than the amount that they would actually give you, even if they were being stingy. I know Kerrygold is expensive but it was kind of ridiculous.

Really enjoy this place. Food is always consistently good. Staff are friendly. And it is a warm inviting atmosphere.

Amazing bar. They make things you never heard of. Freddy is a very talented mixologist. Smoke-acino. Proper whiskey sour with egg white and cab. So good. Want a creative cocktail experience, this is the place!!! Beautiful Irish woodwork as well.

This is really an update to my original review that was interrupted by my wife who really triggered me to write one in the first place. The manager did reach out to me already but that is not going to do me any good since I was visiting Rochester like many people do for the wonderful hospital that resides there. So I am going to be short here. My food I could taste rancid fat in my sandwich, My wife's chicken wings were stringy and old and she had to throw them up afterwards. My parents were with me and also had their own experience. My mother ordered Muscles (appetizer menu) and half of them either never opened or the shells were broken indicating that someone tried to force them open. Muscles have to be cooked while they are still alive to be fresh and these clearly were all dead for some time. My Mother said they tasted like they had begun to rot already. I can't even remember what my Father ordered but I do remember him saying it was old and had a rancid taste to it. So the only thing that was not clearly too old to be served was the beer. This would be one place to avoid in Rochester. Either that or be prepared to have the food ruin your night coming out both ends.

Josh was our server and I give him Five Stars. The food ,as always is great , comes out quickly. We had the spinach dip with their ciabatta bread, House salad, Rueben and Jameson Burger. Highly recommend.
