The century-old Hicks & McCarthy blends the homey warmth of a diner with an upscale eatery, serving brunch and other lighter fare through the afternoon. Then dinner service begins, bringing out starters like crab cakes and Welsh rarebit, pasta and seafood options, plus protein-centric entrées featuring steaks, chops, and chicken. The menu also has a comfort foods section, with favorites like meatloaf as well as chicken and buttermilk biscuits. Hicks & McCarthy is also one of the few Rochester spots to offer an afternoon fine tea service; it’s Thursday through Saturday and requires reservations.
