This place checks all the boxes! We went for the Friendsgiving Dinner event and it was phenomenal. The food was absolutely delicious and plated beautifully. The cocktails were unique and made with quality ingredients. And the staff is so friendly. Can't wait for the next event!
Tallgrass does not disappoint on any level. The setting/decor is quietly elegant. The food is beautifully plated AND as it should be; DELICIOUS! Our server/bartender makes beautiful tasty cocktails. We had the cheese plate as our desert - a wonderful selection to choose from. In 3 weeks time we dined at Tallgrass 3 times. Cheers!
The space is very elegant and cozy. From the sharable plates to dessert the food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back.
The duck, pork belly and fish were good. The ravioli dish was not good - tasteless and portions dried out. The drinks and wine were excellent but the server didn't pour the wine likely because there are too many tables in the restaurant for the servers to move around easily.
Tables are a little too close together, and the menu is very limited, but very good food and good service
This restaurant is a hidden gem in Lockport. We stopped in during the sweet and savory pub crawl in the summer of 2025. We thought we would go back to try the food on our 11th year wedding anniversary which was Nov 8th 2025. I was disappointed that we didn't get acknowledgement of our anniversary like a small dessert for free or a glass of champagne for such a fine dining restaurant. I put the notice in the open table reservation and even said a comment with our male waiter. Little notices like that really make a difference. Would we go back? I'm on the fence. Try it and see for yourselves. The space is very small. I felt a little crammed. There is no bar area to sit in like other restaurants. We went early about 430pm and when we left it wasn't that crowded. The upside is I did find a champaign that I now love which is moscato and Spumante. However I had to buy the bottle which was only $38 but we could take it home. The restaurant should really allow for tastings to see if you like it or not. Luckily I did like it. We may or not be back to eat, but def to try other drinks.
Amazing food and fantastic service! I only wish they had a bigger menu to try more things!
We went for a Halloween specialty dinner. For the money, I wouldn't do it again unless they put the menu out before hand. The drinks were so strong we couldn't finish or we would have to Uber home. The food was very fancy and not filling. Great ambience and different. Didn't like sitting with strangers at $100 per person. I think it's a special occasion restaurant. Not bad at all but really not an everyday affordable place.
First of all the food was very good and service was attentive. We had a 15 minute wait for our 7:15 PM reservation which was challenging since there is no room to wait. The restaurant had decided to have a party of 12+ seated and the restaurant really seems too small to accommodate such a big party. Our table for 2 was near the large table and my chair was repeatedly bumped by wait staff serving the larger table. This went on for over 30 minutes until we finally were able to request to move to an empty table away from the walking path. When we visited Tallgrass under the previous ownership we always felt the ambiance matched the level of the food and we would leave feeling that we had had a relaxing and special evening. Sadly, although the food was good the ambiance just doesn't measure up anymore. I'm not sure we will be back.
The restaurant was quite busy which may have impacted our service a bit. However, the food was wonderful. Presentation was great. Portions were perfect. Cocktails were excellent. The overall restaurant is beautifully decorated. Can't wait to go back.

We found Tallgrass during the Sweet and Savory walk in September, and learned about their brunch service. We made the reservation to celebrate my wife's birthday a bit early. The atmosphere, the menu and the service were all high level. Not cheap, but on par with what you expect for a fine dining experience. Would easily recommend.
Excellent food, great presentation and wonderful staff.

Food fantasize although the soup could have been colder. Service was great drinks were great
I took out two of my dear friends to celebrate their birthdays last night. I had not been to Tallgrass in many years. It was a delight. The service, the drinks and all of the small plates we ordered and shared were soo delicious. The deserts were also very tasty.
