One of Rochester's most consistent dinner destinations, Ox and Stone sits in the East End neighbourhood and runs a kitchen focused on wood-fired cooking and local sourcing. The menu changes seasonally and might include wood-roasted chicken with roasted garlic and herbs, hand-cut pasta with braised short rib, or a board of local charcuterie. The room is warm and not too loud — a genuine accomplishment in a city where "farm-to-table" is sometimes an aspiration rather than a practice. Reservations recommended on weekends.
