Had a really terrible experience. Mostly a food issue. Seated 3 people. Ordered 2 specials and a NY strip medium rare, charcuterie board, and fried lions mane mushrooms.
The strip was ordered medium rare. It came out cold and blue with barely a sear on it. Waitress and manager offered to fix it, which resulted in scraping off the mushrooms and nuking it in a microwave, steak came back super hot on the outside and still blue and cold on the inside.
The charcuterie was a pretty poor showing as it was two types of blue cheese and a small wedge of parmesan, they had what I can only describe as Oscar Meyer olive loaf slices, and quick pickles that tasted soggy and old.
The special was a seafood risotto, the lobster tail of both plates was rubber and inedible, the risotto rice was not cooked through and was hard in the middle, like crack your teeth hard.
We picked through our food, my 2 guests didn't eat their specials, maybe picked a shrimp or two out, when getting the check I mentioned the specials not being good, and the waitress apologized, and promptly handed my a check for $300.
I didn't argue or ask for a refund or to return the food. I paid for our meal and we left.
Overall it was pretty terrible for $100/plate . I'll most likely look for different fine dining choices in the future when I'm in the buffalo area.

My husband ask for eggs that were over easy and got sunny side up and also no citrus salad and got the salad. But the one thing we did not liked was that it was my son's 19th bday and although we indicated in our reservation, there was no happy birthday or acknowledgement of it at all. On our way out they sang Happy birthday to another person at another table.

Had a 70th birthday party for my sister this past week. From the time we started planning the event till the last guest left Mike Overdorf was there overseeing everything! He was a great help planning our food and beverages for our guests. All servers and bartenders went out of their way to make the evening enjoyable. One server went out of her way to get an N.A. beer for a non drinker! Our family thanks all of you!!!

Great old fashioned drinks from the bar. Had the bread appetizer and bread was very hard. Wife ordered the filet and needed to send it back because it was undercooked. I had the strip steak and it was average. Mashed potatoes were good along with truffle fries. Server Olivia (who was excellent) made up for it by offering a free dessert which was an excellent brownie with ice cream.

Michelle was our server and she was nothing short of excellent! Thank you Mike for accommodating our large party and being so helpful in making this celebration possible. Everyone at Jazzboline was amazing- start to finish. They also took excellent care of my dad & his extensive allergy list to ensure everything was safe for him to enjoy.

My friends and I really enjoyed the brunch. The live music sold it for us, what a great way to get together, have a great meal and enjoy the perfect ambiance. Service was okay, not exceptional but adequate. Price wasn't bad, coffee with the most delicious French toast plus tip, right around $30...nice price for an enjoyable couple of hours.

Always great service and great meal. Jazzboline is our go to restaurant. Menu is always changing.

Alina the hostess was the best ever she was so great and helpful!!!
If I could give 10 stars I would! My husband and I are regulars and often eat at the bar. Service is wonderful, food is delicious and drinks are great! I've hosted many events for my company as well as a local board that I am part of. The banquet manager Mike is exceptional. I have hosted events for 7 - 75 people and he is always willing to advise on the best location (board room, private dining room or big event room) as well as help to make recommendations on menu, centerpieces and everything in between! A true professional that is truly an asset to Jazzboline! Mike and his team recently went out of their way and found a AAA battery for my presentation clicker during a recent event! (Anyone who has ever done a presentation knows how important the clicker is!) Courtney and Olivia are by far the best servers anyone could ask for. We always request them whenever possible. During dinner presentations everything flows smoothly and you hardly notice they are there! Mike, Courtney and Olivia make every event special and are truly exceptional!

Jazzboline is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always amazing, the drinks are always right, the service is always top notch! The atmosphere is professional yet casual and that can be hard for restaurants to pull off. Every single time I leave I thank the chef because it's always a pleasure to experience different flavors on my taste buds.

Great service and excellent food. The restaurant was very accommodating to our last minute change because half of our party of four are sick. The reception staff are wonderful and I have truly enjoyed my experience at Jazzboline. Will definitely return when I am visiting Buffalo again.

I don’t even know how to express just how amazing this place is! My husband and I recently had our wedding here and the whole entire process was amazing! Mike the event planner seriously was the only reason planning my wedding wasn’t stressful! I can not say enough just how amazing Mike is! He paid attention to every little detail, and made whatever idea I had into a reality(which I can admit was not always the easiest task). I was able to enjoy my wedding morning because I knew I could trust Mike to execute our special day perfectly! Everything ran smoothly and Mike was always checking in and seeing what he could do to help and make sure the day had no issues at all my events, he was constantly going above and beyond. I had my bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and wedding all here. The food and the service was great! Everyone has been telling me and my husband non stop just how great the food was! I would recommend anyone and everyone to have their wedding here! Mike is the absolute best person to trust with helping you have the perfect wedding day, or any event! Mike is a superstar!
Highly recommend
