    Vegetarian food availability(3 stars) The vegetarian food here is manageable. They are not too many or little varieties. I really liked the nachos as it was crispy and had an adequate amount of sour cream and guacamole on it. I also enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, however, it was a bit bland. The jalapeño poppers were mediocre. They served four of them and filled the bowl with nachos so it seems there is more than what appears. The drinks are good. The pizza is unique and delicious. It has a thin crust and melts in your mouth. The staff is good too.

    I had to log on with another google ID to leave review again. I lived in many countries in the world and this restaurant might be one of the best in terms of their service and kindness. I dropped my food onto the floor by my mistake and I messed up the floor. Staff came to clean up immediately and also served the food again which I dropped. I was having tough life nowadays and never expected that I can get my mind healed by someone’s kindness in the restaurant on Saturday evening. Many thanks for your best kindness and services.

    First time patron. Overall nice and clean restaurant to dine in. Very flavorful and delicious food being served hot! I really enjoy their sizzling tender chicken Fajitas, wings and Truffle fries! Generous portion. The atmosphere is especially beautiful in the evening and location is not difficult to find! One of the neighboring table was having a birthday celebration and the staff make effort to play birthday song! Very satisfied with the overall dining experience!

    Huge portions, really good food! Cali platter was wonderful, good to share w a table of 4. We enjoyed the spreads and dips greatly and the chimichangas and stuffed jalapeños were fantastic. We also shared the grilled sea bass, baby back ribs and pesto pizza. Each one was well marinated and the sauces were just right. Some places overdo the salt but here it brings out the flavors of the meat and fish well. Ended the day with a lava torte - 10/10 for the runny chocolate. 😊👍

    For starters, the Sauteed Spinach with Pine Nut was a delightful and simple dish. For the mains, we had the Beef Tenderloin Fajitas and it was served sizzling hot! Meat was juicy and tasted even better when we wrapped it in the tortilla with guacamole and salsa. The Baby Back Ribs was pretty good too although the meat could have been more tender. Fries were amazing and portion was generous. The Lava Torte for dessert rounded off our meal on a sweet note. 😋

    Love this dining place. First time visit with family and it’s kids friendly too. The food is delicious with several authentic Mexican cuisine such as fajitas and crab cake. Portion is just nice and great for sharing. A good place to chill and relax on any evenings!

    Came with my husband for a mid week date night. I love the ambience of Cali. Away from the bustling city area and its a good place to sit and have conversation. We really enjoyed our meal! We had Smoked Duck Pasta and Wagyu Beef Burger for mains and a sweet ending to dinner with the Lava Torte. Warm chocolate oozing out from the cake paired with smooth vanilla ice cream. What a delight!

    It is our first time here at CALI at Park Avenue Rochester and the ambiance is really nice. Staff are also friendly :) We ordered the Cali Wings, Mushroom Soup, Crab Meat Pasta and Pork Fajitas which was yummy! The Cali Wings had a nice smoky taste, Mushroom Soup was earthy and tasty, Crab Meat Pasta came with a generous amount of crab meat. We love the Pork Fajitas in particular as it came sizzling and steamy on a hot plate and we enjoyed the spice and seasoning of the pork. Overall a great place to chill and have lunch or dinner with your family and friends ☺️.

    We enjoyed the chicken fajitas the most. The chicken was juicy and it came sizzling on a hot plate which gave it a good char and kept the dish warm throughout our meal. It was so good that we would eat it on its own! The staff were friendly and attentive, we had a pleasant time dining here.

    🦀 Santa FE Crab Cake Really crunchy and crisp. Seafood crab meat mixed south western spices served with tartar sauce. 🍄 Grilled Portobello Suitable for Vegetarian. Its portabello with sautéed baby spinach garlic pine nuts. 🥗 Sauteed Spinach with Pine Nut Ordered an extra serving of Sautéed Spinach to add on to my fibre intake. 🐷 Baby Back Ribs One of their most delicious dish, bbq pork ribs using chefs special spice mix house special bbq sauce served with fries and green salad. 🐟 Grilled Seabass Seabass fillet with crispy macadamia crust.

    all the food here are in big portions:D the butternut and prawn soup was rich and creamy, SO YUMMY!!! 😋😋 the beef cheeks were really tender and paired well with the red wine sauce, though i found the mashed potatoes sourish:”( the lava cake is a must order as the warm oozy chocolate lava is complimented by the icy vanilla ice cream and sour berries compote, a gastronomical delight and aesthetically pleasing plating. the mexican brownie is chewy and fudgy, the way i like it:3 the service was really amazing too. it can get quite busy during peak dinner hours hence the food was slow to arrive, but the attitudes of the staff were super warm and friendly. a staff got our orders wrong and quickly made the change, even serving us a complimentary brownie as a form of apology! very impressed by the professionalism of the staff there, would definitely visit again:)

  • 5/5 Hui Mei L. 1 month ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Great ambience :) nice lighting with soft music in the background. Would recommend the cali wings and mushroom soup. Would recommend the happy hour alcohol as well! Have seen a lot of people ordering sizzling fajitas, maybe would order that next time!

  • 5/5 Eva P. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    The Best fries ever!cryspy yet soft inside. Every dish We ordered are so yummy! Kods love it too! Been here 3 times already! The set meal very worth it! Derive crews all very attentive. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Mojojo_ing J. 7 months ago on Google
    Quiet and lovely ambiance. Cost enough for a family dine-in, spacious enough for min friends gathering. The 3-course set lunch was really worth it, which come with a starter, main dish and a drink/dessert. The chipmunks wanted to try the Rib Eye Steak and they really made a good choice! The meat was so tender and juicy, mummy here only got to take 2 bits. Fish and Chips was crispy and fresh, no fishy smell. And they ended their hearty lunch with ice cream 🍨. What an enjoyable afternoon for them.

  • 4/5 Gladys H. 7 months ago on Google
    This restaurant was located within Rochester hotel itself. The wagyu burger was superb! Juicy and tasty! Bbq back ribs was tender and yummy! Service is a little slow though which I guess was due to a lack of staff.

  • 5/5 Zoe W. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice Atmosphere located inside Park Avenue Rochester Hotel. Service staff was friendly and helpful. Will recommend their signature braised beef cheeks. They also offer set lunch menus where you get to choose 3 dishes.

  • 5/5 Julia H. 7 months ago on Google
    Love the relaxed yet elegant ambiance here. Enjoy their set lunch menu especially the crispy batter fish & chips. It’s so good! Their set meals are so affordable here and they are having the "1 for 1 promotion' on Burgers, Pasta, Pizza, and Fajitas. Nice soup of the day, tomato soup & love their pepperoni pizza too. Will definitely come back to try other dishes.

  • 5/5 Yong Yul C. 7 months ago on Google
    Overall I had a great dining experience! The waiter was friendly and attentive, and the food taste good! However, I had 50% off from eatigo which made the meal very affordable. Without it, the price is rather rather steep. But, I will still come back to try more dishes if i get the discount!

  • 5/5 Shannelle Y. 7 months ago on Google
    We loved the variety of southwestern dishes and also vegetarian options! The ambience was lovely and the staff was nice too. We tried the baby pork ribs and the kurobuta pork fajitas, which were tasty! The portion for the meats were generous and the fries were crispy! I love the concept of the fajitas — super fun to make!

  • 5/5 Theresa K. 5 months ago on Google
    had a great time at this cafe! The atmosphere was lovely and the portions were generous. The Cali wing was particularly delicious with its well-marinated flavors, making it a fantastic choice for a side dish. I highly recommend trying their pizza as well; they serve generous portions of it.

  • 3/5 Derek T. 5 months ago on Google
    Almost everything is average here. The food, atmosphere, service. But given the price, the serving portion are very generous. And also, none of the dishes was bad (which is already better than some higher end places). So though it’s not a tip top restaurant, it is high in value. 👍 Can try once.

  • 5/5 sylvia s. 5 months ago on Google
    I went there with my husband for dinner during weekday! I loves the place that allows sunlight to shine in and we can eat in peace! Service was excellent and staff are friendly! We had Baby Back Ribs and Crab Meat Pasta for our main course as well as Cali Wings (mid joint wings marinated with BBQ Sauce!) with refreshing Ice Lemon Tea! Overall the food there is deliciously good and flavorful with their special sauce! Perfect place for lunchtime business meetings, gatherings with your family or friends, or couple date!

  • 5/5 Zoe 5 months ago on Google
    had dinner here! the baked cheesy nachos ($18) were really nice- very crunchy, and the melted cheese and avocado combination was delightful! the acidity of the salsa was a welcome break from the greasiness and a way to cleanse the palate. we ordered a stuffed chicken breast ($30) and kurobuta pork loin fajitas ($30) as well. the fajita was really nice, the pork was smokey and complemented the tortilla and the toppings well. the stuffed chicken breast will be a delight for spinach lovers, every bite gives a nice mixture of the ricotta cheese and spinach! would come back again to try other stuff!

  • 5/5 Jessie Q. 4 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend the Baby Back Ribs, as the meat literally melted in my mouth. The Chicken Fajitas tasted great, and we love the tantalizing caramelised onions. To enjoy the fajita to the fullest, simply put the chicken meat and the onion in a tortilla wrap with the given condiments and greens. The Cali Wings were well-marinated and tasted fantastic, making it as a great option as a side dish.

  • 5/5 chewy J. 4 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely dining experience at this restaurant . We ordered cali wings which was flavourful and well marinated , crispy truffle fries as starter . For mains we had the chicken fajitas where we got to do our own wrapping and mixing in the ingredients on the wrap . It was a nice mix of savoury flavours . We also ordered the baby back ribs , the ribs were tender and fell off the bone . The nice ambiance , with great company and scrumptious food makes us want to visit it again . Food is on a more pricey end but worth it with deals .

  • 4/5 Lin C. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent Mexican Food. Casual, quiet place for a Sunday night dinner. Love the Lava Torte, Stuffed Chicken breast ( really tasty). We normally do not eat fried food but the Jalepeño Tostada is an exception.. Would recommend and will visit again.

    Nice cafe. Relaxing environment. Food is delicious. Staff are polite and service is prompt. Amex love dining offer is available here which makes the pricing very reasonable. Do note that the discount is only applicable to the food items and not the drinks. The service charge is levied on the full bill rather than the discounted bill.

  • 5/5 Lynn N. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the $57 for 2 pax promo set menu! Super value for money. We each had a mushroom soup with toast, shared a starter (crab cake), each had a main (slow cooked beef and pork fajitas) and shared a dessert (molten lava cake). The slow cooked beef was soft and flavourful, fajitas were also flavourful and nicely grilled. Loved the molten lava cake, which flowed out nicely. Worth coming again for this ndp set!

  • 4/5 Shaokang 1 year ago on Google
    The Servers were very knowledgeable about the menu and they recommended very good dishes, such as the Fajita which i ordered. The ambience was also very relaxing and had great BGM. The only down sides are that the food was super expensive and the table were very small for the amount of food we ordered.

  • 5/5 Alicia O. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our first time at Cali's Rochester. Food is good and service is excellent. We had a nice chat with Mr Elvis, who shared his personal background and love for food. We would recommend others to come to this cosy corner at Rochester Park. The pizza is a must try. 😋 menu also promised a no inflation for since year 2012. Oh wow.

  • 5/5 shi w. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and drinks were really good and the steak was so well seasoned! Generous portions and very friendly staff with excellent service. Especially Lucas, who was very accommodating and got us everything we needed efficiently. He was also very good at making conversation and we had a great time here. The atmosphere and cleanliness was also great :)

  • 5/5 Chen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great food and yummy. Love the tacos best. Not too oily, spice and yet not too spicy. Flavours but not too salty. Pork rib is bug and flesh is thin and easy to chew on. Not dry but fulls of flavours. Lovely. Will come again

  • 5/5 Zoen 9 months ago on Google
    Nice tex-mex place tucked away in park avenue rochester. Indoor seating was filled yet the setting remained relatively quiet. We enjoyed the stuffed chicken breast the most, baby back ribs and seabass were both good too. I like that the mains come with a side of cooked vegetables. Saw a lot of people eating the fajitas and will probably come back next time to try them.

    Ordered 4 courses set with strip loin steak using Fave, the sauce is really nice and the steak is good too. The lava cake that comes with the set is on point too ! Good restaurant atmosphere as well. With fave voucher definitely worth it, only cost us $25. Good value

  • 5/5 Jasline P. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely Mexican dining experience at CALI restaurant! Great food and good service! Must try their Grilled steak and chewy Brownie, leaving you wanting more! The place is suitable for cozy dates and group gathering! Affordable lunch sets and great promo! Worth a try!

  • 5/5 Jeremy K. 9 months ago on Google
    Love the slow cooked beef 🥩 that is so tender and flavorful and yummy 🤤 desserts to end the meal with choc lave cake with vanilla ice cream 🍨 and orange cake ☺️

  • 3/5 Bruce F. 1 year ago on Google
    Made a reservation, but the table is not even set. 5 pax but gave us so 1-2 of those paper menu. Other tables are set but don’t know why give us a table that is not set. Don’t know if it’s super busy or what (doesn’t seem so) but took so long for them to even regard you and take your order (took 3-4 tries to get them to acknowledge you). When we ordered water by the bottle, just gave us one cup when common sense tells anyone to give at least a few. Ordered two streaks of medium rare , turn out one is too rare the other is medium well . Mushroom soup- something so basic, is bland and thin. Otherwise, mains are not bad. Hot but do note you’ll have to wait a while. Notable menu items are the Cheesy Nachos. Unexpectedly good! Tldr: service is horrible has to keep reminding , but food is passable. You’ll have to order smartly as some items are less than subpar.

  • 5/5 Joann S. 8 months ago on Google
    For starters, I have the Spicy Jalapeño Tostadas. Crusted fried Jalapeños stuffed with cheese. Topped up with nachos with tangy mango sauce in tostadas. Followed by mains, I go for the classic pan fried salmon & the honey mustard chicken. Great food suggestions for a healthy portion of proteins, carbs and greens. For dessert, u have a choice of ice lemon tea, passion fruit panna cotta or a cup of double scooped ice cream.

    Love this cost and quiet atmosphere. Good for family / friend gathering, or even for a business meeting! It is Located at Park Avenue hotel. The food portion is generous. Had the crab meat pasta, the crab meat portion is generous too. Cooked it in white wine, its a different taste! Pizza is thin crust which i love!

  • 5/5 Jasmine K. 8 months ago on Google
    CALI, located in Park Avenue Rochester, believes in delivering bold and irresistible Southwestern cuisine experiences. Their menu is pretty vast, there is something for everyone to love. We tried their: Slow cooked beef cheek Grilled sea bass Wagyu cheese burger Truffle fries Lava Torte Personally, being a fan of slow cooked beef, I thoroughly enjoyed the beef cheek— totally melt in the mouth. My husband’s vote went to the cheeseburger, which is in our opinion, too underrated. More people should know about the gorgeous burgers CALI can serve! It’s so worth ordering. Fellow parents, I would recommend ordering the sea bass for your children. The fish was tender, and the macadamia crust added on a layer of fragrant sweetness. Finally, you should end your meal with a lava torte. The chocolate lava ooze was pure indulgence.

    Quiet ambience on a Xmas eve. Cali Wings and Truffle fries are a must-have. The portion for the Crab Meat pasta and Grilled Chicken Burger are quite huge and they are also generous with their crab meat 👍🏻 Nice place to visit!
