ROCHESTER HAPPENINGS

Mind, Body and Spirits is a totally new concept to hit the area. There are two distinct sections to the restaurant -- a 90-seat dining room on the first floor, and a Higher Ground Lounge on the second floor that seats 50. Each floor has its own menu, hours and atmosphere. Upstairs offers a great view of downtown Rochester, and features lounge seating with specialty drinks, appetizers and desserts. The downstairs features a more traditional dining area with its own specialty menu. On my first trip to Mind, Body and Spirits, I was able to experience appetizers in the Higher Ground Lounge -- be sure to try the dates wrapped in bacon and bleu cheese. Even though we were totally stuffed, we still had to try some things from the menu downstairs in the dining room. You'll absolutely love the Third Street Potato fries, and the shrimp soup I had was fantastic! Read more on our blog

Mind, Body & Spirits is located on the corner of Main and Third Streets in Rochester.
