Crisp Rochester - St Roch

We celebrated my wife’s birthday with a larger (18) group of friends and family. We were in a semi-private room, and I was a little concerned about sharing the space with other guest, but the atmosphere was great and CRISP was incredibly accommodating. They even set up a few simple decorations that I brought in ahead of time. My wife and I had been to CRISP a few times and always enjoyed the drinks, atmosphere and food. Despite being such a large party, there was no fall off in the quality of service or food.Dietary restrictions: CRISP has a good selection of gluten free options.

Such a great vibe! Delicious food, tasty drinks, and charming owners.Vegetarian options: The vegan meatloaf is top notch!

Atmosphere is great. Service was good… food not so much. My enchiladas had a very sweet cinnamon taste not something you would want for a dinner.. my friends salad has anchovies?? Also was un expected.

We did a girls night out for our first time visiting Crisp and it did not disappoint. We all decided to get the special which was a steak with garlic mashed potatoes and zucchini and squash. It was delicious! We also got the churros to share along with the big piece of chocolate cake. Everything was great and we definitely come back here again.

Not a great experience. It was a slow moving night service wise. You could tell FOH staff was a little overwhelmed because they were a little snippy right off the bat about our table. My friend had made a reservation for 12 people for her birthday. She was actually intending to cancel after finding out her grandma died the night before, but thought it would be better to be with friends and because there was a steep charge for canceling.We waited about 15 mins past our reservation time because they were still preparing our table. Waiting seemed to be the theme of the night. We waited over an hour for our food to arrive with no communication from the server or management. When it did arrive, 2 dishes were cold and 3 were missing. The birthday girl had just ordered fries and that was one of the dishes that took an additional 15 mins to arrive the other two dishes were a charcuterie board and a salad.I've worked in restaurants for a long time and can understand a night where the kitchen just can't keep up, but no communication or apologies for the delay was just not cool.Many of us hadn't been there yet and won't be going back.
