North Stone Kitchen, the new restaurant inside the Marriott Hotel in downtown Rochester, offers a fresh take on modern American comfort food with a northern flair. Led by chefs Frank and Ryan DuBois, the menu highlights approachable yet elevated dishes like house-made cheese curds, pear flatbread, walleye, salmon, and a bone-in Duroc pork chop. With its light, stylish design, full bar, and cozy outdoor patio, the restaurant provides both hotel guests and locals a casually elegant spot for brunch, dinner, or a quick grab-and-go bite.
