We drove up to Rochester today to visit the "Lilac festival" and after seeing all the sights we asked at the information booth for some recommendations for dinner. They all agreed that we should try Zeppa Bistro". I called just to see if we should make a reservation and was told we would be seated when we arrived. The restaurant... More

We just came back from dinner at Zeppa Bistro. Our server was dull and not very responsive although there were only a few people in the place. Maybe it was because it was a Wednesday evening. I tried to order a skirt steak without french fries and the waiter almost insisted that I take them. He finally relented and substituted... More

Soup that can melt you in your seat. Amazing flavors and creativity. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Chef is more than happy to come out and meet his guests.

We had a group of 6 on a Friday night. We made reservations. This is located under the German House, formerly known as the Keg or even before that Rohrbach's. They renovated the entire place- gray walls, exposed brick, tile floors, candlelight. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. Also, one of my friends has a gluten intolerance and they made...

We went to Zeppa Bistro yesterday evening and based on the reviews, we were excited to try it. First, we ordered drinks, and it took around 15 minutes...understand, since it was about 90% capacity. Then it took 25 minutes or so for the waiter to return for our order and to give us the specials. After the specials were shared,... More

The food here was excellent, comparable to any high-end NYC or San Francisco restaurant. The service was similarly excellent. Portions are large yet the prices are quite reasonable. This was our (my wife and I) first time eating here and I think we have a new favorite.

Exemplary service, interesting tasty entree's, good wine pairings. Lots of atmosphere and great menu of a high end restaurant, yet prices are relatively reasonable.

A party of six arrived early for our reservations and ended up at the bar for quite some time. The atomosphere as noted in the other reviews is excellent. The restaurant occupies the lower floor of the old German House. It opened in January and everything is brand new. The aroma froom the kitchen on entering was tantalizing to say... More

My husband and I are pretty fussy when it comes to food and wine, but this was OUTSTANDING!! Best food I've had in Rochester in a long time. Everything was made to order tasty and fresh. The wine list was small but had all that you need. Can't wait to go back and bring friends.

The Zeppa Bistro is located in the German House on Gregory St -- formerly the location of Rohrbach's. Think monestery for decor. Think wow for food. I'd never eaten duck but did so on the waiter's recommendation, and it was excellent paired with chard and small gnocchi. Just the right flavors. On another occasion, I tried the fennel sausage sliders... More
