How it is Liz
Kennedy's Cove has one of the best filets in the Clarence Buffalo area! It's a casual but upscale steak house. They have a huge saltwater fish tank, which was fun to gaze at while waiting for our meal. I like to arrive when they first open since they don't take reservations. The dining room is small and quaint. The food is consistently good. I love their filet, crab legs, and twice baked potato! Portions are large. I recommend asking the market price on their specials, they are substantially higher than their regular menu items. All of their food is high quality and seasoned well. Definitely a great place for dinner any day of the week!

First time customers here. Went here tonight for our Anniversary dinner. And it won’t b our last! Everything was Exceptional! We had the Ribeye dinner for 2. The best steak we have ever had and the portions were huge! Can’t say enough about our waitress she was great! We will b back!

The perfect spot for a blend of comfort and quality dining. During the week they do deals for two. We visited on a Thursday for two 20oz Blackened Prime Rib steaks, a choice of sides, soup or salad, and a bottle of wine for $85. We also enjoyed their Bacon wrapped BBQ Scallops! Many restaurants’ can not do Bacon wrapped right, but there’s is perfect! The fish tanks are a great touch and make for such a unique vibe.

First time experience. Food was amazing. Table ordered filets, ny strip, chicken and all was amazing. The blackened season was perfect. Only issue was with service. My wife ordered a drink and it was wrong three times. First time it was wrong drink, second time it didn’t have the right mix. And third we gave up asking. Then they also forgot the risotto with her dinner. After all that not even a discount was given for the hassle. But everyone loved the food so still highly recommend. Just need to improve service delivery and making up for mistakes.

This place deserves five stars! The steak we had was actually quite good, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. However, the large fries could have used an extra minutes in the oven. Despite that minor detail, it was an overall fantastic experience. The atmosphere was inviting, I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

It is a very buffalo eatery, sans the wings. Excellent food. Very high end. Very rich flavors with no corners cut. The blackened Steak is a must. The creamy stuffed pepper soup was a real surprise. Spicy, but not painful. And I encourage everyone to try the twice baked potato.

Very nice place. A bit crowded on a Tuesday evening, but my party sat in the back, and the service was great. My steak was done to perfection. We had a nice time there.
Matt Zahm
Had a great dinner at Kennedy's cove. Food was fantastic. My salmon was delicious and her steak was amazing. My highest praise goes to our server Eric. It's been a long time since I've been happy with service at restaurants these days, and Eric blew us away. Very attentive, made us feel welcomed and special. 5 stars all around. I'd give the service for Eric 6 stars if I could. It has now become a regular date night spot on our list.
