1928 Cocktails and Bites — Restaurant in Rochester

In one word, underwhelming. I love the concept but the execution was lacking. First off, we got two dishes that were not what we ordered and they never brought the one that we had asked for even after we asked about it. The steak was a little tough, and everything lacked flavor. When the waitress brought our food and leaned over to set a plate down, her hair (which was down) got into the plates that hadn’t been set down yet. The service was slow, we waited for 30 minutes to get a box for the leftovers after paying. The person I was with enjoyed the Rabbit drink and the sweet potato fries, but there is nothing I would go back for. Again, love the concept but I feel like it didn’t live up...

1928 Cocktails and Bites is a really special addition to downtown Rochester. We loved the cozy, cool vibe and the soft jazz playing in the background. It was the perfect mood-setter: not too loud that you couldn't have a conversation, but could still hear the talented musician to enjoy their music!

The cocktails were creative and delicious. We loved the attention to detail and enjoying flavors not found anywhere else in Rochester. The bites were great and perfect for sharing. The cost allowed for ordering many different items so we could taste as much as we could.

Highly recommend for a cozy date night or night out...

It all started poorly and surprisingly, got worse. We started at Bebap, sat at the bar, and the bartender looked at us and walked away, no water, no menus, no “hi”. The drinks were underwhelming—watery and flavorless. We decided to take our chances and go upstairs to 1928. Drinks were better, atmosphere was fine, but the service and food was awful. We got two apps, the “smacked cukes”, which were basically fresh cucumbers with some unidentifiable sauce and sesame seeds, and “steak cubes,” which were underseasoned and overcooked. Overall, very disappointing experience all around. We will not...
