Prescott's - Crossroads Plaza/Broadway- Rochester, MN

I really have nothing but good things to say about Prescott's. The menu changes seasonally, but there are some regulars that always stick around. The chef here uses a wide blend of flavors that create amazing dishes with refined taste. I enjoy prescott's for a nice dinner when I am home visiting the family and have spent many special occasions here as well.

• Cuisine: Fine dining - Pasta, Steak, Chicken, Fish

• Favorite Food Items: Filet Mignon and garlic vegetable noodles

• Price: $$$- I would say this is one of Rochester's finer restaurants, not necessarily by ambiance, although that is not bad, but through service and cuisine. You certainly get  the delicious taste and a quality meal for the price. Most meals include your choice of soup or salad, which is built into the price.  

• Ambience:  I give the owner props for turning a bagel spot into a fine dining establishment. The bar is a key piece in the set-up of this quaint space. Purple lighting behind the wine bottles is a nice touch. Tables are typically adorned with a small vase of flowers. Mood lighting also makes this place a romantic date spot, as well as an impressive dinner location for any occasion, with the exception of your child's 5th birthday party. 

• Dress Code: Trendy-Formal. Wait staff is typically dressed in more formal dining apparel and the overall mood of this place would make you feel uncomfortable if you were wearing jeans and a t-shirt. So dress it up just a little bit when you head in. Nice jeans, a fancy top or sweater, and heels or cute flats for the ladies would be about as causal as you would want to be. For men I would recommend dress shoes, nice jeans or dress pants, and a button up or polo. 

• Shell's Rating: 5 out of 5 - If you have never been, this place is a must try while you are in Rochester. I always leave this place appropriately full, and pleased with the selection. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend the garlic vegetable noodles. I have been known to call in an order of those (they are a side item), to go, because they are THAT good.
