Been to tallgrass a few times already and have always had the most exceptional service. This time we tried the Chicken Vesuvio and the Seasonal catch (which was stripped sea bass). It was all so delicious. The menu was very thoroughly explained and I could tell a lot of thought was put into each dish and drink. Thank you to Keila for the great service she always goes above and beyond the ensure we are well taken care of. I forgot to add to the reservation that it was a birthday and my partner had mentioned it to them, they took the extra step to surprise us with a little birthday treat! To me those small acknowledgments set restaurants like this apart. Thank you again will be back soon!! ❤️

Not what it used to be. Maybe new management or something. They didn’t have any of the items I was ordering saying they “ran out” Not sure how they can have multiple food items and not serve them. Will not be returning.

First time that we've dined at Tallgrass since the new owners took over. The food was excellent! Participated in the 5 course NYE dinner, and every course was exceptional, and our server very attentive and informative. One criticism, it was costly, and we felt that two oysters as opposed to only one for the appetizer would have been more appropriate. Ambience was very old school, in a good way, and you felt like you were actually dining at a fine restaurant. My only other criticism is that there should have been cloth tablecloths on the table, they should not have been bare. It's fine dining not a breakfast place.

My family and I visited this French restaurant yesterday 12/27/25. We were not impressed for the price we paid.
First off the tables are too big and the space in the restaurant is very small. If they want to have more customers at the same time the tables need to be smaller. We were literally squeezing ourselves to get through to our table or to use the restroom.
Speaking of the restroom, I never went to a restaurant that had black toilets. I guess it was to add some kind of elegance, but I ended up wiping the seat before using it just in case.
Now let me talk about the food. We had the bread and butter and cheese charcuterie for appetizers. The bread and butter appetizer was delicious. No complaints there. The charcuterie board looked like they just slapped some cheese and crackers on there without a care for presentation. Nothing wow about that.
My dad had the autumn squash soup and gnocchi. He enjoyed the soup but was not impressed by the gnocchi. My husband had the steak made medium to order. He was not impressed by the portion size or the taste. My cousin and I had the salmon which was so undercooked we sent our plates back. When they came out we both realized they gave us n even smaller portion size of the main meal. At least they were better cooked than before.
For dessert, my husband, dad and cousin had the crème brûlée and I had the chocolate mousse. They were not impressed by the crème brûlée at all. The chocolate mousse had so many artificial cherries on top I could only eat half of it. The overall service was okay. Again, not impressed.
For an expensive French restaurant in downtown Lockport, we were really not impressed at all and will not be going back.

Beautiful ambience, thoughtful touches to everything from plating to decor. The brunch food was fresh and very tasty. Speciality cocktail drinks were delicious and the employees were very kind. Looking forward to trying dinner next!

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!
Anna
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.
