REOC B-Stro at 161 Chestnut Street, Rochester, New York.

The B-Stro is part of the Rochester Educational Opportunity Center's culinary training program. It's located on the first floor of the main building. You'd never have any idea it was there! The main entrance is located on Chestnut St. Just walk in, make a right and head to the end of the hall. You may also enter via the courtyard entrance it shares with the former Frontier building.

It's a nice space with a host/hostess station situated in front who takes your order right away and then seats you. There is an open kitchen where you can see all the students hard at work preparing the very tasty meals. The kitchen also includes a brick pizza oven, also open, about which one young lady was very enthusiastic. The dim lighting and muted fabrics provided a nice ambience to the entire space. It faces the aforementioned courtyard with soaring plate glass windows that are absolutely wonderful to sit in front of during the spring and summer months.

Daily specials include a side, drink (fountain only), and dessert for a very reasonable price. The menu features your typical grill and fryer items. Salads are also represented. I had the most wonderful Sizzling Salad with sauteed zucchini, red and green peppers, red onions, over a bed of chopped romaine. I opted to add grilled chicken and was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful it was! I'm so tired of all-white-meat. This caribbean-american boy loves it dark!

All items are available for take out and I love that they use eco-conscious packaging.

The grilled Mac & Cheese & Bacon sandwich looks intriguing. I will definitely add this place to my weekday lunch rotation!
