Jines Restaurant

"3.5 stars for the food, 0.5 stars for the ambiance. This is an old restaurant but I had never been here until recently! We walked in and had to wait about 15 mins before being seated. The service was very quick (almost too quick as we were asked if we were ready or not before we'd even had a chance to look at the menu). Their ambiance is fresh and chic. Their hot chocolate was pretty decent. I got the wild mushroom and blue cheese omelet, my brother got the eggs Benedict and our friend got the pancakes. The Benedict portion was very small as my brother inhaled it. It was ok to taste. The omelet was decent and pretty heavy. The best part of it was the bread, which was delicious. The pancakes were decent too. All in all, it was decent food and for a decent price. I would recommend this place for a quick brunch in a nice part of Rochester. There is a parking lot a couple of blocks away. Do NOT pay there so that you can get parking validated through the restaurant. They don't validate prepaid tickets. Otherwise, you can look for street parking which is always a bit harder."

"I have been enjoying the great food and excellent friendly service that has been the definition of the Jines Restaurant brand for five decades. Whether a business breakfast/lunch/dinner or just a great place for a meal that you know will be homemade and delicious, Jines Restaurant should be very high on your list of choices. Located in the trendy Park Avenue restaurant scene, Jines Restaurant is the cornerstone that has been serving some of Rochester's best food year after year while other restaurants come and go. During the busiest of hours, parking in the area may require a short walk from one of the side streets if the adjacent plaza parking lot is full. With that said, I personally don't mind the walk, as I enjoy viewing the local architecture of the homes and businesses in the area. Check out Jines Restaurant today, I think you will return again and again...Bon Appétit!"

"Excellent diner in a really cool neighborhood. My wife and I tried them out for lunch today, and we can't wait to go back for more! I got the Mediterranean Omelette and she got spanakopita and a quiche of the day (today it was sweet potato, apple, walnut, dried cranberries, and goat cheese if I remember correctly). We also tried the apple cinnamon mimosas. It was a beautiful day for outdoor seating! Can't wait to go back. There was an orange marmalade stuffed french toast that sounded superb! Oh, and the staff is really great! Erika was so amazing!"

"This is like a classic must go in Rochester. But once you go you realize it’s just a really popular diner without ‘diner’ in the name. Staff was amazing. Location and street seating are also amazing. Food was okay. Belgium waffle didn’t have that classic Belgium flavor although it was cooked perfectly. They served canned spinach with their eggs Florentine which was a huge disappointment. Kraft syrup came in a plastic container with the waffle which was another major disappointment. It it didn’t live up to the hype of its name."

"Food was SO good. We forgot to take pictures until after we shoveled it all away. We were a party of 5, and were seated quickly, despite being busy. I had the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict, and it was out incredibly good. Service was great. MG was our server, and she was super friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is chill, and the restaurant was very clean. Will be back!"
