Fantastic restaurant! Mike, the Chef and owner, is hands-on, the menu has great choices, the specials are varied, Mulligan's French Onion souup too!!! The staff are professional, attentive, pleasant, ready to make a suggestion if you are undecided. Never had a bad meal here and I usually eat here at least once a month! A great place!

My friend and I decided to go last minute. I hadn't been there in years, but was very pleasantly surprised. I wish I had had a bigger appetite but as it was I had the chicken sandwich with fries and spicy slaw. It was DELICIOUS! My friend had a pasta dish that she said was amazing. Our waiter,Chris, was awesome! Very upbeat and friendly which just makes the experience that much better. We can't wait to go back with empty stomachs and save room for dessert!!

How it is Liz
The Bijou is an ideal place to stop for fabulous cocktails and a bite to eat before seeing a show in the theater district of Buffalo! It's only a two minute walk from Sheas. I've dined here many times in the past few decades. It's so nice to see they are still thriving after all these years in business! I really enjoyed being at their bar this visit waiting for our show to start. The bartender was fun and attentive. He made great cosmos! The patrons were engaging, too! It was a great kick-off to a fabulous night at the theater!

I had a birthday dinner here and everything was amazing. The lighting, windows, bar, and table completed the atmosphere. The food tasted delicious and our server was very nice. Definitely would recommend if having a meal with a large group!
