Nerdvana Rochester

This was an incredible experience at two and four persons. The drink menu is spectacular, the board game selection is small yet solid, and the food is great. I'm not a video gamer, but there's multiple consoles. They have a variety of allergy options, and the gluten free options were delicious!

This was amazing!!! Such a fun atmosphere, very friendly staff, and a cool place overall. When we arrived, we were asked if we were interested more in video games or board games. Because we weren’t sure, they gave us a video game table because we could decide to play board games later. Then we were asked if we prefer Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch. So awesome!!! We ended up going to a Nintendo Switch table. Played some rounds of Mario Kart (they also have a bunch of other games, like Rocket League and Super Smash bros for example), and after we finished eating we started a board game, one of my favorites “Machi Koro.” Our server Melissa was incredible, kept checking in with us frequently and we wouldn’t have known that the restaurant was even getting busier from her demeanor or the sound. The booths were not “soundproof” but they did block a lot of sound- a great feature when you’re surrounded by people actively playing video games and board games! Food was great, drinks were amazing (and there are also mocktails, if you’re bringing younger folks or friends who don’t drink for some reason or another). Highly recommend the poutine appetizer, as well as the Calypso Twins drink! Java Mana was delicious too. A little pricey for drinks ($12 per cocktail) but not terrible. I may have had a few too many drinks, but oh well! Totally worth it. Highly, highly recommend!!!! *edited to add* I forgot to mention, they also take allergies VERY seriously! One member of our party has celiac, and Melissa meticulously checked on everything that we asked about, even ensuring that things came out on separate plates or at different times to ensure that there wouldn’t be any cross-contamination. Outstanding!
