We decided to come here last minute the morning of Monday 02/10/25 as a way to celebrate our 1-Year Anniversary for our marriage along with our two boys. Karen our waitress (ironic name given the circumstances) was phenomenal. Firstly the free valet parking was a nice touch and a great coincidence for the occasion. As I arrived earlier I noted that the cheery hostess took my coat and put it away and handed me a redemption ticket (very nice). As I got seated Karen came over and introduced herself, placing a hand drawn happy anniversary card for us on the table which was great! After I explained the situation to her Karen was gracious enough to play along and I had her take the jewelry I bought my wife and tuck it away so she could bring it out later when I signaled. As my wife arrived with our boys I noted the exceptional kids menu set for my oldest and the awesome coloring activities they had including the premium crayola crayons they provided as well. We haven’t even gotten to order the food and this place already blew us away. We ordered the food and all of it was to DIE for! Karen comped our Champagne for us, put on a great show for delivering the jewelry and even the desert at the end came with a nice little sparkler stick trick. Throughout the night she was wholly attentive and aware of our needs even while managing the other tables. The food was absolutely 5-Star quality and the decision to put the chefs names on the menu was an appreciated touch. Clearly this restaurant knows what its vision is and what experience it aims to provide and they execute it on a whole nother level. 15/10 we will be back! Thank you again especially to Karen! Please give that lady a much deserved kudos and a raise! -The Vorhis Family

Had lunch at Patina today. We ordered the salmon bowl, $24. Brussels sprouts, $13. and side of eggplant Parmesan, $9. Also shared a pistachio creme brulee, $12. Everything was great. My husband also raved about the coffee.

Great breakfast spot in downtown buffalo, waitstaff made sure to ask the kitchen about gluten/dairy free options. The one negative we had was the coffee wasn't the best, a bit to bitter for our taste.

Absolutely fantastic first experience at Patina 250. Cannot say enough good things about our server John who took exceptional care of us and made some really good recommendations. Smaller upscale restaurant that is not pretentious or overly priced. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to come back!

The Sunday brunch here was totally awesome! The staff was super friendly and attentive. Our food came out fast, and it was delicious. The Croque Madame was a game-changer—the bread was crispy, and the sauce was amazing. The Eggs Benedict was also top-notch. If you're looking for a great brunch spot, this is the place.

The best steak I've had since moving to Buffalo. The service is simply superb. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of fancy and professional. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next date or interview dinner.

My cousin and I went to dinner before the Pentatonix show. Our first time eating there. Everything was amazing. Great service and loved the decorations for Christmas. We both ordered the filet mignon, which we both agreed, was the best we’ve ever had! Shared the crab cake and the eggplant parmigiana which were both delicious. The waiter recommended our bottle of wine which was also very tasty. We will definitely be back!
