    Just when we feel we know Rochester dining quite well, we discover a new menu at North Stone Kitchen that surprises us with its fresh ideas and quality ingredients. The duroc pork chop with tart apple dressing and roasted vegs is expertly prepared, while the other of us indulges in the healthy bowl salad. Our service person Hoat meticulously meets our every need and makes us look forward to our next meal there. Not to be forgotten is the shared crème brûlée with a salted caramel maple syrup taste that we wish would never end.

    Went to Terza with family members on a late Friday afternoon. It couldn’t have been better. Everything was perfect, from the service to the drinks to the food. We all had a wonderful, relaxed time and will definitely be back.

    Crispy chicken lettuce wraps were great, ask for extra napkins before you start. Nashville chicken flatbread was terrific. Once again ask for extra napkins. Server Beverly could NOT have been more kind. Don’t lose her . Cheers, B & G-Red Wing

    Wow! This place is amazing! Great food! The ribs are outstanding! I definitely recommend going with some ribs! I had the 3 meat combo and had the ribs, jalapeno cheddar sausage and pulled pork - all great! My wife had the broasted chicken and it was also delicious! For the appetizers....get the cornbread! The whipped honey butter is delicious! 🤤 The chips and queso are also really good. The atmosphere is pretty cool ...like a sports bar mixed with a family style restaurant. Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants we have been to in a long time!
