Welcome to Horizons Modern Kitchen + Wine Bar

“ I've dined and stayed at the best hotels in my extensive travels through out the world, and the dinner I had a The Woodcliff was one of the best I've ever had! We had a total of 10 in our dinner party (including one toddler) and we all had an amazing time! Our server, Aga was kind and very attentive to our every need (including my grandson, who can be quite picky). Thank you Aga for making this a wonderful experience for the whole family, including my father-in-law who flys in on his private jet to vist several times a year. Also, a big thank you to Ariel, the manager, for her amazing wine substitution when they ran out of our favorite label. I'm also so happy that they were accommodating of my grandson, who wants to walk around and gently touch the Christmas ornaments (who wouldn't -- they are so majestic). I feel so grateful that they let him hold a plastic ball ornament, as it kept him easily occupied so that he didn't screem in the restaurant and bother the other diners, who were also enjoying their meals. My nephew, who is a talented student at the Eastman School of Music, got to play a relaxing piece on the Woodcliff's gorgeous grand piano. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart for this magical holiday experience for my family, especially for my sister, who is about to have breat cancer surgery on Friday. You all made this a peaceful, relaxing and wonderful Christmas celebration before a very scary time for our family. Peace and Love this holiday season, and if your travel plans bring you to Rochester, please consider staying here at the Woodcliff. Whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year, I know they will take great care of you and yours! ”

“ A Luxurious New Year’s Eve at Horizons! My daughter and I celebrated New Year’s Eve with the 5-course dinner at Horizons, and as always, the experience was absolutely exceptional. The atmosphere is the definition of elegance and luxury, creating the perfect setting for such a special night. The dinner was out of this world—each course was beautifully presented like a work of art and tasted incredible. The customer service was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable evening. A special thank-you to Justin, who welcomed us warmly and stayed in touch through text messages to assist us whenever needed. We also had a wonderful experience staying at the hotel. Our room greeted us with a bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, a thoughtful and indulgent touch. However, the only issue we faced was getting grapes for the midnight tradition of making 12 wishes, one for each month. We had ordered a charcuterie board through room service, assuming it would include grapes, but it didn’t. Later, we requested grapes at the restaurant, and while the waitress initially said yes, a female manager explained they were saving them. Thankfully, we did get our grapes in the end! Tip: If you plan to attend the New Year’s dinner and follow the 12 wishes grape tradition, bring your own grapes to avoid any hassle. Aside from that minor challenge, Horizons provided a luxurious and memorable New Year’s celebration for my daughter and me. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an elegant and extraordinary experience! ”

“ One of the best restaurants and music venues in the Pittsford -Victor and general Rochester area. Horizons staff is incredible in service and hospitality. Alise Kilmer is an excellent sommelier with French wine background and can lead you to any region of France having studied wines there. Chef de Cuisine Ashley Perez has amazing Culinary experience in Spain which shows in the unique dishes she creates for Horizons. Enjoyed the scallops with ink squid in pumpkin sauce along with Bibb salad and goat cheese ... Deb is a lovely server who knows her wine and food and dotes on all her customers. Thank you very much Horizons and Woodcliff...all the staff rocks ”

“ We had the pleasure of dining at Horizons for both breakfast and dinner, and each experience was exceptional. For breakfast, I highly recommend the buffet, priced around $22–$23—an excellent value for the quality and variety offered. Our second dinner was just as outstanding as the first. The host, Nate, warmly remembered us from the previous evening and even greeted us by name, which made the experience feel especially welcoming. For our meal, we enjoyed the Prime pork chops with whipped potatoes—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. As starters, we shared the crab cakes and jumbo shrimp cocktail, both of which were fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully balanced. Compliments to the chef for such a thoughtfully crafted menu. Horizons is truly a dining destination worth visiting—even if you’re not staying at the hotel. ”

“ Really the best night out with my girlfriend!! The food was outstanding but the dessert was AMAZING!! It was a smoked s’mores affogato. Over all the food the staff was amazing. Out waiter Kiril was so attentive and the best waiter ever!! Elise the junior sommelier was great too. They also had a live band playing Xmas music that was so festive. I can’t wait to comeback!! ”

“ Horizons Modern Kitchen + Wine Bar was the perfect choice for my birthday dinner. My boyfriend brought me here for a quiet, intimate evening just the two of us, and everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Our server, Debbie, was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and made the night feel extra special without being intrusive. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it the ideal spot for a special occasion. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday dinner and will definitely be back! ”
