The Gate House enjoys a blessing and a curse - it's so fabulous that it's packed all the time, so it's hard to get in...and they don't accept reservations for under six people. Sigh. But once you *do* get it - you'll have a delicious dining experience. More

I have to say that the gate is one of my favorite places to dine. Food is always good- very fresh ingredients. The only negative is that everyone is finding this gem so it is busier than ever. More

I went there with my husband on the 28th only to eat a soggy burger and a burnt pizza. For the price, I was disappointed. I asked my waitress if I can speak with the Chef and she said he is no longer with us. She said he was dismissed and that she had even recognized a difference in the... More

My wife became violently ill after eating the pizza last night. The management team also was yelling at us to drag her unconscious body out of the dining area so they could keep their revenue stream open for the evening, and no one responded to her illness or loss of consciousness. They kept saying that their food was not to... More

My husband and I went there on a Saturday night looking for a new Rochester favorite...and we found one! The wait was long (we got there around 8 and still had a one hour wait, but we never mind a chance to sit at the bar with a rorbach's scotch ale!) and the bar area is a bit tight for... More

The Gate House Cafe, located in The Village Gate in Rochester, NY is lively and vibrant, mimicking the area and clientelle. I went for lunch with two colleagues and had a 25 minute wait. There were several people drinking at the bar and there were some tables and chairs outside the main doors should your legs get tired of waiting... More

We were there just after Christmas. It was full to overflowing, so it was good we made a reservation, as we got right in, with a booth. The burgers are 1/2 lb, so my wife and I ordered a burger and a salad to split. They were both large and delicious. The others had a vege burger and a pizza,... More

I've been here multiple times and each time is better than the last. Best burgers I've ever had, and the few times I've strayed and tried the pizza or the specials, they have all been amazing as well. Big pours on wine, great food, great atmosphere, I bring everyone here! More
