    Fantastic food and every dish was so complex and had us guessing what made up these amazing flavours. The Tenderloin skewers with truffle butter, baby gem and watercress salad with wasabi and cucumber dressing would cause a fight resulting in injuries if there wasn’t enough - both superb! We then had the grass fed rib-eye and grilled zucchini and again - superb! This is about as a good as a special 60th bday dining celebration can get. Well done!!

    Ambience was cozy - loved the wood burning fireplace in the dining room on a cold, snowy night! Food and drinks were delicious - we had beef skewers, roasted shishito peppers, an assortment of nigiri, a couple of rolls, and pavlova with match ice cream for dessert. Favorites were the salmon nigiri, the scallop nigiri with truffle, and the raspberry pavlova. Service is outstanding and everything was presented beautifully, but be prepared to pay for it.

    Every aspect of our evening was perfect. Jade provided amazing recommendations for a guest who had never tried sushi/raw fish before.. which she absolutely loved. All of the dishes were phenomenal, from presentation to taste. Numerous check ins from the staff made our evening extra special, like we were right at home. A wonderful experience. Well done team!

    Once again (we went two months ago on our anniversary) Next Door did not disappoint! This time it was husband’s birthday. We sat in the Chevaliers again and were fortunate enough to have Josh as our waiter just like we did on our anniversary. Josh is a seasoned pro-very attentive, helpful and educative about our food decisions, pleasant, and just all around great at what he does. Service was all around impeccable. Food was delicious, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. This restaurant sets the bar high especially in and around Rochester, and that’s what makes it stand apart. There should be more restaurants like this.

    So I have been to this restaurant many times in the past. This is our first visit with the new menu. Was very excited to go as it is one of my wife's favorite restaurants. So we had a 5:45 reservation. We sat a few minutes later. We had to leave at 7:30 to get to a play and called a manager over to check if we had an assigned server or if we were forgotten. He assured me she was coming. She arrived at 7:10 and she was very enthusiastic. We ordered drinks and then she came back for our meal order. We were 2 couples. We ordered 2 appetizers and each ordered a main dish. We also ordered 2 sides to go with our mains since they were just protein. And then things got weird. A couple of minutes later, the French fries showed up (one of the sides for the mains). A minute after that, one of the mains showed up (a sushi roll). A minute after that, our 2 steaks showed up. When that happened, I asked the person delivering the food why we got our steaks now. He responded that the food is sent out as soon as it's ready. Then 3 minutes later our appetizers showed up. And then finally my wife's main dish. Our last side came after we had finished all the food. So after a slow start, all the food arrived within 20 minutes and in no particular order. So my wife and I travel extensively and have been to many small plate type restaurants that serve as the food is ready. But even they pace things so you don't get all the dishes in 20 minutes. But more importantly, this isn't that type of restaurant. It's a typical menu with appetizers and sushi on one page, and mains and sides on the other. This was a ridiculous pace to our meal. I don't enjoy eating yellowtail ceviche at the same time as my rib steak. And miso eggplant for desert after my mains have been cleared. The good news is that the food is delicious. Strong Asian flavors. That part was wonderful. So I don't blame our server. But the kitchen timing is very unenjoyable. Doubt I'll ever go back.

    My friend and I ate at the sushi bar. Watching Alice in front of us prepare the Red Dragon sushi rolls was fun. She created little works of art that were fantastic! I also recommend the scallops with brown butter nigiri and King salmon pate with rice crackers were out of this world! Please don't laugh, but at age 68, this was my first time trying sushi. I'm not a fish eater. Beautiful restaurant! Oleksandr was our server and he was very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding our selections. Thank you! Nick Massimilian, the manager, was very attentive to our needs and recommended a white burgundy, Beaune Montagny Premier Cru 2020. $85 (expensive) and worth every penny! I think this is the best restaurant in Rochester!
