    Food was ok. Decent portion size for the price. Food wasn't as hot as it should have been. My boyfriend sent his plate back to get it reheated. The waiter came back out with just the sides and no meat. He was told he was getting a fresh steak. They should have brought the whole plate together. By the time his steak was done he was ready to go and it still wasnt hot. Our anniversary dinner was ruined.

    The food was decent, but the presentation was off. Service was absent. The view is amazing. Been a couple times and it's just too consistently inconsistent to recommend

    We loved the setting overlooking the Genesee River and the Susan B/Frederick D Bridge. We were looking forward to our first visit to the West Edge--had been here before under different ownership. Wait staff was friendly and took our drink order immediately. We wanted some time to talk and then gave our order about 20 minutes after arriving. Took longer to get our meals than we expected, particularly given the restaurant was only half full. One order came with the wrong side, crab cakes were lukewarm, very little aioli, and not lump crab as the staff person promised, scallops were perfect. Took ten minutes to get the correct side and more aioli. By that time the crab cakes were stone cold. The shared desert--brownie cookie and ice cream--was excellent. However, only one person in our threesome really enjoyed her meal. We'd love to come back--love the setting--but probably won't.

    We were disappointed in everything except the outdoor dining and view. The food was overpriced. The meat and cheese appetizer was an embarrassment for to price. Wine selection was limited and the service was only faor.

    I have known of the place for quite some time and had always wanted to give it a try simply for the outdoor view but I avoided it due to the bad reviews. I should have known better as someone who has served in fine dining for years that reviewers are often ridiculously pretentious.... the food, ambiance and service was great! If they had some candles / patio lights it would have been perfect. I absolutely would recommend this establishment.

    Our server was fantastic, once she realized that the server we were supposed to have had never stopped by the table she took care of us immediately. The food was very good, but it took 45 minutes for 2 salads and 1 appetizer. That was far too long. On top of waiting 15 minutes for our original server to arrive, that's a 1 hour wait.
