The Erie Grill at the Del Monte Lodge Renaissance Rochester Hotel and Spa in Pittsford recently underwent a major facelift, losing its staid décor for an updated palette of cool hues and metallic accents. The restaurant also added a sleek bubble-glass bar and revamped its cocktail menu, making room for new takes on martinis, fizzes and other classics.
During my visit last weekend, I chose the vodka gimlet with elderflower liqueur and rosewater ($9). Lime juice delivered a punch of tartness, while the round ice cube looked chic with an edible Johnny-Jump Up flower frozen in the center.
My companion chose the E V Double O, comprised of vodka, gin, Lillet Blanc and olive oil ($11). Essentially a riff on James Bond’s signature Vesper martini, the cocktail had a silky finish from the olive oil.
