Analia Gerard
Lovely dining experience from start to finish. Welcoming upscale interior with small bar. Outstanding martini made to specific requirements and bartender’s knowledge on beer was spot on. Menu was seasonal and eclectic. We shared a beet and goat cheese appetizer with a tasty citrus vinaigrette. We had the Thai inspired mussels and rib eye with Gorgonzola. The rib eye was cooked perfectly and could have stood on its own. Loved the 1/2 bottle wine options. And our waitress, Kristin, was incredible. Great experience here.

First, let me start by saying that we had the most amazing waitress ever. Her name was Kristin and we will be requesting her again when we come back. Our meal started with 3 small plates and boy were they all stellar. We ordered the calamari, artichokes and the mussels. Our entree was the Pork Milanaise and the Ribeye!

Waiter was great, wine selection was fantastic and the bottle we got was delicious. The lobster tortellini wasn't my favorite but my gf loved her steak dish.

This was my first time here and I will say it was by far one of the best experiences I have had. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive. We had the baked brie which to start which was amazing. Dinner was the shrimp and risotto and the filet au poivre and both were cooked properly and the filet was a perfect medium rare as requested. For dessert we had the Jameson Tiramisu which was light and airy. We will definitely be going back there soon.

We’ve been here for the last two years of our anniversary and to celebrate our engagement, and went back for my partners birthday. They truly saved the day after we were saddened by going to Coco Bar & Bistro’s service, we tried here again and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in buffalo. I had the winter chowder and my partner had the maple dijon glazed pork belly and both were phenomenal. and the wait staff was so nice!

new years eve dinner. waited at the bar a few minutes past our reservation for our table to be ready. Lobster bisque and calamari were excellent first course, winter chowder and halibut entrees were also excellent, but a little salty for our taste. portions so generous we could not even consider dessert. Wines recommended by the server were great, as was the complimentary prosecco for our new years toast. service was excellent. we have eaten here several times, and always been pleased with the food, drink, and service.

Dinner date out to Bacchus (haven’t visited building since it was the Calumet!) tonight and it was incredible! The atmosphere was beautiful, our server Sarah was perfect and every dish we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend- one of our new favorite restaurants for special dining! Thank you!

Excellent service. Nice atmosphere. She really liked the salmon. My NY Strip was good, not quite cooked as much as I wanted but close. It was also huge, way over 16 oz, so a nice value on special. They have valet, but we parked on the street nearby (for free after 5PM).
