Astrobot Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 We are looking for restaurant suggestions in the Rochester area for a gathering the night of my grandmother's funeral service. It will be a Friday night around 5PM, and we'd like to find a place that can accommodate about 20 people in a separate or off-to-the-side area, with good everyone-likes food (like italian or american or bistro-y type fare) and decent prices. I thought of Mario's, but their prices are in the mid 20s -- seems a bit high. And the Crescent Beach Hotel on the lake, but again, similar prices. Can you think of any places? We'll go in the city, or any of the burbs, like Webster, Pittsford, Penfield, or Fairport. Something along the lake or canal would be nice, too.
The Poojer Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 my condolences on your loss, but something in your post struck me as odd, and trust me I am not taking your loss lightly, but you say "....a gathering the night of my grandmother's funeral service. It will be a Friday night around 5PM..." that just kind of jumped out at me. I trust you meant. THIS friday....anyway, condolences again!

I am offering this mostly because of the separate room. "The Nutcracker" on Empire Blvd Penfield/Webster. Dinners are OK, burgers and sandwiches are actually quite good. They have the main diner, and a back room with glass pane doors you can close, which is what you were probably seeking. If I was planning a party I would look around, but this is diner food at a decent price on short notice. Sorry about your grandmother.

God bless her dear soul.
inkman Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Mario's is very nice. PTR Yes. I had my wedding reception there and it is very nice, although a bit pricey as Astrobot suggested.
