True, unless you can provide potential young professionals, empty beaters and maybe some young families with nearby housing that is on par in some way.
Would a place like Tully's fit in there, as long as it is built within the same character of the buildings already there?
There was a Jillians for a number of years. They seemed to be doing OK, but finally left.
I remember when the High Falls area was at its peak, and there were lots of people coming down there. But eventually, one-by-one, the various businesses/restaurants/bars failed or moved out. IMHO, it really boils down that in order for a downtown/city area to be successful, people have to live in the area..
This is not unique to Rochester. The same thing happened to an even greater extent in Cleveland where the Flats area has returned to it's native moribund state after a few years as a hotspot. For an area to succeeed long term there has to be walkability and a strong newarby residential component. If not the commercial district will thrive or fail on the whims of fashion.

High Falls is both walkable, and close to residential areas though...
