“We started our tasty journey with the Olives, featuring the Castelvetrano and Cuquillo varieties. They have just a hint of orange that makes a boring bowl of olives a standout taste experience.The Potato Latkes were up next, served with tobiko taramasalata and tarragon. The combination is absolutely incredible, striking a perfect balance between texture and flavor...perfection.For our entrees, our group had the Ravioli Dauphine and the Lamb Meatball Bomber. The ravioli, filled with tender lamb shank and drizzled with beurre blanc, accompanied by scorzonera and crispy kale, is fantastic. The Lamb Meatball Bomber is delicious with its kale, sumac onions, and garlic yogurt.However, the star of the show was undoubtedly the Braised Chicken Leg, paired with black futsu squash, lentils, sage, and endive. It's no exaggeration when I say this is the best meal I have ever had in my entire life. The depth of flavor, the perfect cook on the chicken, and the harmony of the accompaniments is simply unparalleled.We had the Vanilla Panna Cotta with lemon, honey, and toffee for dessert. I have no words that adequately capture its sheer perfection.The Little Club delivered an exceptional dining experience. If I could give them six stars, I would. Every dish was a testament to the chef's mastery over their craft. I cannot recommend The Little Club highly enough; it is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining at its best.“
“We had drinks at the bar that were unique and tasty! I loved the refreshing limoncella drink that was made from prosecco and fresh lemon We had a party of six so there were many dishes ordered. All of them were delicious and housemade... the serving sizes were not overly generous for the price, but they were very flavorful and well presented. Our server was not overly attentive to our table... we rarely saw her... We ordered the calamari appetizer plate... it was lightly breaded and served with a light sweet sauce. Very good... the bread that was served to the table was excellent... the foccacia had a crisp outer crust and chewy interior... it was beautiful! We did have to pay for the bread... they don't give bread to each table, had to be ordered. A ravioli dish was ordered and was excellent... it did need some extra parmesan cheese to make it perfect... The shortrib rigatoni bolonese was served in a pasta bowl and had meaty flavor with a very nice sauce. It also needed a shredding of parmesan as did all the pasta dishes... we had to flag someone down to get this... The halibut was thick and flaky, served on a bed of cous cous and was fresh and cooked perfectly... The lamb chops were served with a green pesto sauce and came on a bed of cous cous as well with some raisins and carrots mixed in. Very tender and cooked perfectly to medium... Another table mate ordered the spaghetti and thought it was very good, generous portion and was completely satisfied The desserts we ordered were the house made doughnut holes with the dipping sauces, Creme Brule, and a cannoli... the cannoli was the winner of the desserts with a crisp shell, generous filling that was neither too sweet nor soggy... there were slivered almonds on one end and chocolate curls on the other with additional dollops of cannoli filling on the plate Yum,yum!!! This is a very good special occasion restaurant!“
“Fun place with super nice staff and a great selection of brews! You "rent" a card per person with your credit card on entry. Grab a fresh glass and select and pour your own brew choice - whether an ounce or a full glass. A selection of wines and hard ciders were also available. Atmosphere is very casual and there is a lot of outdoor seating available in better weather. Food was good - pub style choices.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids, although I'm sure they are welcome...“
“Had an amazing experience here with 4 of us and a toddler. Service was great, food was out of this world, and the atmosphere was cozy. Can't wait to come back! Had the best French onion soup I've ever had and an Alfredo pasta that I've been dreaming about.“
“Bella Ciao (lower level of Embassy Suites - Downtown Buffalo Highly recommend! Excellent service (Isabella our waitress- her first time on her own after training- was excellent!) Food was very good! Homemade pasta- all very good! Management made sure they stopped at every table to check in! Great place!“
“Wine. Buffalo Bills. Copper. Exposed brick. Kindness. PUPPIES ON A BAR. If you want to know what it’s like to win the lottery and then die and go to heaven, walk in to Just Vino.Owner Jeff will set you up with a glass of gold and then you can make small talk with the baby Jesus who’s sitting next to you pontificating about how every other bar takes a second seat to this one.Bring bacon, you won’t regret it. And neither will Baxter.“
“Amazing dishes, we had about 8 different plates to share , my favourite was either the sea bass or venison, as well as the lobster ravioli. This was hands down best Italian I've had in some time. Also I can not compliment the wait staff enough, they were very present and made sure we had a great dining experience. Amazing staff here. 10/10 for me“
“Truly a hidden gem. I used to live in this neighborhood but never knew this place existed. I came here with my friend when they first opened over the weekend. It was pretty empty. There is a small bar when you first walk in. I ordered a blackened catfish po'boy which came with the sandwich, sweet potato fries covered with some sort of honey glaze, as well as slaw. The portion was large but overall, delish. Wish they toned a bit back on the spices on the fish but the fries and slaw were a nice touch. The restaurant got pretty busy quick afterwards. Would def recommend!“
“Forget everything you know about Italian food. Our meal was fantastic. The filet mignon was a little over cooked, but besides that the pasta sauce was amazing, the house dressing was super good and the garlic bread and knots were also great. Would drive the hour and a half just for this place. Thank you!“
“I love this place so much, the first time I step in Here I felt welcomed. Cathy the owner made me feel like home ? everyone I met the 2 times I Been here became like my long time friends. Great conversations and the energy was amazing. I will visit you now often Cathy thank you for having us and welcome us with a big smile and warm hugs.“
“What a great dinner I just shared with a friend! The whole idea of this restaurant is based on Anthony Bourdain's quote about sharing food with friends. And share we did! We split the oysters, parmesan truffle fries, the Tuscan flatbread, and the impossible sliders. We also each got a glass of wine. (No sharing that lol) The food was delicious, and the wine was fantastic, the service was best of all! We got lots of recommendations and suggestions, and we were well taken care of. I was delighted to see that almost everything was able to be gluten free! I had a lot of tasty options to choose from. Overall, we had a great time, and I plan to go back with my fiancé. The experience we shared would have been great for a date.“
“Exactly what you crave for an easy, fun evening out: cool intimate listening venue, welcoming and beautiful host, fantastic musicians, good tapas, and nice choices for bottle of wine or cocktails. .Pausa…. BRAVA!!Vegetarian options: Vegan may be harder to come by unless you drop the cheese. Vegetarian choices there are a few!Parking: Don’t cut it close. Give yourself time to find a spot.“
“Hands down my favorite in Buffalo, We had an amazing time last night , The fun sleek casual vibe with the extremely attentive knowledgeable staff makes this the best dinning experience ever. Edward is the best , Thank you everyone, Can’t wait to be back“
“Highly recommend Tappo restaurant. Very creative menu choices. Food is fresh with beautiful presentation and amazing taste. Service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is fun and lively. By far our favorite restaurant! Always our number 1 choice.“
“Highly recommend this restaurant! Just had the best lamb chops I’ve ever had and an overall a feast of flavors. Definitely an experience I want to come back to. Our server Matt was very attentive and perfect timing. Thank you for such a wonderful time.“
“Fried lightly breaded fresh Haddock fish fry was small compared to other local mainstays but very good and cooked perfectly. Good slaw and sweet potato fries (upcharge). Clam chowder and linguine with clam sauce also good. Excellent service from Erin M!“
“They generally have good food; however, in the past 2 years, the quality of their pizza has dropped significantly. The crust is almost nonexistent, the toppings are scant. Last night we ordered a large pizza: cheese, pepperoni, and banana peppers. The cheese and pepperoni were a good amount (i.e. not great), the banana peppers were almost nonexistent. The quality has suffered and not up to the standards they had when they were located on Center Road. It appears that profit has outweighed quality: Less dough per pizza equals more money in the pocket. The price has increased to almost $60 for a large pizza and a double order of wings. It used to be $40. Less product for more money. I do understand that the cost of doing business has increased, but the quality should not suffer related to that. I would think that, with the current influx of travelers for the eclipse, they would want to put their best foot forward. And, for the current loyal customers, i.e. us, they would want to maintain them. We have been loyal to Pasquale's for well over 20 years. You need to rethink your attitude toward product.“
“Canal Club is amazing every time I go! This is a wonderful example of what a well run, locally owned business looks like. When you're here, they treat you like family. The food is amazing, and the chef is so friendly. They keep the menu fresh and are always trying different specials which keeps me coming back over and over again. I love the outdoor patio during the summer and the ambiance inside during the colder months. Canal Club should definitely be put on your "must visit" list for locally owned favorites.“
“As always, food and service were both excellent! We had a 5:30pm reservation before a show. We finished our meal with plenty of time. For an appetizer, we had the hot stuffed peppers. The sauce on the side was a nice bonus and tasty for fries. For entrees, we had the hot chicken sandwiches. I don't typically like chicken or chicken sandwiches. I tend to always get a piece with grizzle. This sandwich was perfect though and the chicken was flavorful.“
“We came on a Sunday evening without reservations and surprisingly got a table for two in the bar area. Service was excellent, the food and drinks were delicious, and the experience was rememberable. We’re liking forward to returning again soon.“
“On a Saturday evening my husband and I decided to try Trattoria Aroma. Upon walking in we were impressed with the decor and greeting. They asked if we had reservations (which I highly recommend) and we said we did not. The restaurant had just opened as it was about 5:15 pm and was pretty empty. They sat us and within 15 minutes the tables were all full. Even with it being full, it was not overcrowded or loud like many restaurants get. It was so enjoyable. The owner stopped by our table to say hello. My husband has a dairy allergy and we were worried about the bread (which was delicious) and his meal. They accommodated us and the owner stopped by again to assure us that there was no dairy in the bread. I ordered the lobster ravioli and my husband ordered the filet. Both meals were exceptional! I know I will be craving the ravioli until we go there again, which we definitely will! I highly recommend you try this restaurant for yourself and remember to make a reservation!!!“
“This is such a cute place, we tried the wine and Gelato pairing event and we loved it. The place has a chill vibe with beautiful decor and the Gelato is very tasty. This is a versatile Cafe style place offering drinks, small bites, and of course a lot of gelato choices. It has a nice amount of seating, both tables and at the bar. We really enjoyed our time there and can't wait to experience the next pairing event.“
