We have enjoyed some great meals in Rochester. Our favorite was lunch on Friday.
We ate in the restaurant at the Double Tree Hotel downtown.
Amy ordered the Fish Taco with Black Bean Soup...
The service was wonderful...
I ordered the Crab Cake Slider and Lobster Bisque...
Delicious!!

We prepared meals at home too...
This is one of Amy's specialties.
