I rarely write reviews but holy heck the polenta wings here are UNREAL!!! Got them with the hot barbecue sauce. Also several vegetarian options which is awesome. Rock on!

My boyfriend and I can go to any restaurant when I come up to visit him, and it’s always me asking to come back here. I have never been disappointed in the food, service, or wait and have had some incredible dishes here. I will definitely be returning! Special shoutout to the club sandwhich here, the bread is god tier.

Chunky cream of tomato soup was amazing! This place has some very unique and tasty items on the menu. Will definitely return when I’m back in Buffalo? I had the roasted eggplant and artichoke wrap. Too late for a photo, I gobbled it down. ???

really disappointing given the good reviews. the space was dirty. waiter forgot our waters. bean burger without cheese was so bland—maybe put some onions, pickles, something on it! we also didn’t get the pickle on the side it said it came with. no high-chairs or space to change baby in the bathroom. and, WAAAY overpriced for the portion and quality of food. it was actually kind of shocking. 1 star for the fries.

Hands down my favorite place to eat and drink in Buffalo. There’s no one I can’t take here - excellent and thoughtful menus without any attitude, low key and comfortable atmo and friendly but unintrusive service from a seasoned crew of handsome bearded barkeeps and

The drinks and food are good. I got a Pinky Swear-bourbon topped with prosecco and muddled cherries. The Caesar salad was big and yummy. The atmosphere was decent, but i'll definitely return. We sat at the bar and service was good. The food took awhile to come out.

The food is always great. That focaccia bread with dipping oil hits hard. The waitress called me a “bread goblin” and I don’t disagree ?. Haven’t tried the whole menu but everything I’ve gotten there has been good. My go-to meal spot whenever I’m back in town and looking to meet up with

This cute place in Allentown has decent food. The service, on the other hand, is unacceptable. The waitress was abrupt and rude. She snapped at me when I asked a question. In fact, I had not heard her. My friend's order was incorrect. Rather than withstand a nasty scene, he accepted it. The overall experience was remarkably unpleasant and I would never return.

Having Cafe 59 just around the corner from my workplace is a delightful perk. It's rare to find a place nearby that offers such fantastic lunches at great value. This gem is surprisingly underrated. If more people were aware of its exceptional quality, there would surely be a queue out the door every day. As it stands, the cafe is a favorite among regulars, who often hold lunch meetings there and have their preferred dishes. Both the staff and the food consistently impress, leaving little room for complaints. My frequent visits have shown me their remarkable consistency. For first-timers, I highly recommend trying the chicken finger sandwich. However, these days I usually opt for the chicken Caesar salad - it's the ideal lunch that satisfies without inducing drowsiness.Cafe 59 is a well-regarded full-service restaurant and bar located at 62 Allen Street in Buffalo, NY.

This one of my favorite places to dine in the morning or mid day on a Saturday.The food and service is very welcoming.

Cool vibes and a really sweet waitress, but had a very gross meal here. It was their purple risotto and tasted like straight up vinegar. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing? Feels overpriced though so if dining out, I'd recommend spending the money on Mother's around the corner with upscale atmosphere and food.

It’s my first time dining. Staff are friendly and polite. I ordered the Tajin Chicken Wrap it comes with slice of a pickle and some chips. The portion was huge but the food was tasteless other than the overwhelming onions. I threw away the other half of wrap. It cost me $18 ????
