Everything goes better with chocolate.  That idea is behind a long-awaited business that is now open on University Avenue in Rochester.

The sign on Chocolate and Vines says "Finally Now Open."  Work on the restaurant has been 18 months in the making.

The restaurant, at 757 University Avenue, will pair desserts, chocolate, and cheeses with wines, specialty beers, and micro-brews.

The owners, Danielle Lewis and Michael Goldberg, are transplants from Brooklyn, and have more than 20 years combined in the restaurant and catering industries.
