Phillips European - Rochester

Our favorite place. The atmosphere and decor evolves a European continental café and is spacious and bright. You have the choice of tables or stands. It's pretty and you can have a normal conversation. Service was friendly, prompt and helpful. My wife Avril and I like to come for lunch, as there are no loud children or loud music. The lunches were perfectly prepared. The vegetables were crisp and not boiled over, and the sesame crumbled scallops were boiled properly without getting hard. The Illy coffee is very good. Bread was fresh and delicious. Avril enjoyed the Turkish melt sandwich. We had no desserts, but the presentation bag by Desserts looks delicious with a lot of choice. We often want to come back.

Great for dessert. I wouldn't recommend for dinner as the prices are high and food is mediocre but the desserts are fantastic!!

Dessert was fantastic!!. A family member had recommended Phillips to us so we decided to try it for dessert. I had the peanut butter torte and my friend had a lemon bar. These desserts were fantastic. It was obvious that desserts are one of their specialties and we definitely will be going back. I had looked at the dinner menu while there, however Im more of a basic pasta person and their type of pasta was more of a fancier style of pasta. Im sure it's probably very good however probably would stick more towards dessert.

Awesome desserts the chicken French ROCKS. nice atomsphrre great service

Divine Desserts. The food is decent but the desserts are divine. I love the cheesecakes especially they have a creamy texture and a nice thick crust. The carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and white chocolate curls, also divine. Desserts a bit pricey as of Feb 2011 most were $6.99 apiece. Because you MUST have dessert, it's best to eat light. My favorite is their vegetable paella. I like that they have small portions of many of their dishes. The only thing I'd like is more of a choice in terms of fish. The only seafood they have on the menu is salmon, shrimp and scallops.
