It's never fun to see restaurants close, especially those family-owned "been in Rochester forever" restaurants. Sadly, we had a few of those this year. Here are the 5 restaurants that closed up shop in 2017.

    Mac's Cafe

    A staple in downtown Rochester for more than 60 years! The crew called it quits in early December.
