This place was amazing. Unfortunately we got there just after sunset but the atmosphere and Christmas lights were amazing. We were seated quickly and had an amazing server named Anthony. He was super knowledgeable about the Drinks and walked us through the whole menu and tended to us graciously. The food was absolutely delicious and hate great plate presentation. We will absolutely be coming back hopefully for the sunset next time!

Did Christmas Eve dinner and was slightly disappointed with the meal itself. Atmosphere and staff were pure perfection- food was WAY overpriced for quality and what you got. Wouldn’t recommend

The menu sounded amazing. We thought it would be a great place to eat before the museum and Nature at Night. Service was slow and the place wasn't packed. The baked brie was good. We split the filet and fall veggies (veggies were good). Ordered it medium rare and it came out medium. The kiddo ordered the kids filet, also medium rare and it came out rare almost blue. But after 1.5hrs waiting, missing the museum and almost missing our golf cart tour we didn't send them back. The place was beautiful.

We didn't stay for dinner, there was a wedding going on, seating was limited and that event took away from the natural ambience.

We love this place, the food was amazing and staff were very friendly. 2 people we paid $225.
While we were eating our dinner, the lady who cleans the table sprayed some sort of cleaning stuff which was quite smelly and we weren’t impressed that she was spraying this why we were eating, not impressed😳

Outstanding! Food was amazing. Shared the Tomahawk for the table, cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I enjoyed the Barrata Salad. Others did the house salad and wedge salad. Bread for the table was so good.
Charity was an amazing waitress!

Our experience at The Buffalo Bar was, unfortunately, very disappointing. We were recommended this restaurant for its great food and beautiful views. While the view truly was spectacular, everything else fell short of expectations.
To start, my boyfriend’s steak was prepared incorrectly three times. He ordered it medium rare — the first came out completely burnt, the second was so undercooked it was cold in the middle, and even after the “manager” (who appeared disheveled and covered in stains) saw the issue and offered to fix it, the third steak was still nearly raw. When the manager returned and asked if it was “done enough,” we were honestly speechless.
The food overall was disappointing. The lobster bisque had the consistency of water and lacked any flavor, and my garlic shrimp were undercooked — I could only eat the tail ends.
We were seated by the large windows, which initially seemed like a great spot for the view. However, during the restaurant’s sunset “celebration,” there was a constant stream of people passing by our table, leaving the door open repeatedly and making it uncomfortably cold.
Despite all of these issues, our bill still came to over $150. Between the poorly prepared food, unprofessional service, and lack of attention to guests’ comfort, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve had. The view was lovely — but unfortunately, that was the only redeeming part of the evening.

Buffalo Bar was the first restaurant we went to on our trip and while it was pretty good, I don't really agree with the prices on the menu. My wife and I spent over $200 for 1 entree + 1 side + 1 mixed drink each. We knew that it was a fine dining restaurant coming into it, but the food did not live up to the price. It was just a sub par steak. Not bad, not great. A cool place to do once every so often, but certainly don't have to do it every night.

My server Tiffany P was AMAZING. She went above and beyond to help us make our anniversary special! She even brought rose petals and put them on the table! She has been a server for years and knows the ropes!

Celebrated our anniversary at Buffalo Bar and everything about the experience was delightful. The views were extraordinary and our server Christian was fabulous, knowledgeable and so fun.

Well our server was very nice and polite. The view was spectacular but that is about all that was good. I ordered the Fried Chicken and my husband ordered the scallops, a side of mashed potatoes and elk soup. WAY overpriced for what we received. They dumped my one chicken breast on top of mashed potatoes with gravy. I don’t like gravy and had I known they were giving me mashed potatoes (it was not stated on the menu that it came with mashed potatoes) I would’ve told them not to put gravy on them or place it smack dab on top of it. The taste of the chicken was just okay, however I stopped eating it because there was a gross discoloration as seen in the pictures. I could’ve gotten a much better tasting chicken breast at Chick-fil-A or Kentucky Fried Chicken. My husband said the scallops were just okay but definitely not worth the money. Stay Clear and choose elsewhere to eat. Had a little mix up with the bill. We got charged for someone else’s bill which was more expensive. Had to wait for a little bit for the server to come back around but eventually got the bill straightened out. So definitely check your bill and what you’re charged.
