We chose to order here for our staff during an appreciation week and it was SO good. I ended up ordering online because it was just easier but upon arrival for pickup the host was so efficient and kind. The food was great, and we had a super good variety. Everything was labeled. And honestly, a lot of times to go food loses it's quality a little but not here. Would highly recommend.

Our initial server was 'new' and left a lot to be desired, as did the mussels. Our hostess corrected the matter, and all was forgiven and forgotten. The rest of the evening and offerings were delicious.

My wife and I ate dinner there for the first time last night-Sunday. First, thank you for being open on a Sunday evening! Very few places, other than pizza restaurants, say open for a Sunday night dinner in Buffalo/Greater Buffalo.I wasn’t too interested in the larger plate options so we each went with 2 small plates which was plenty of food. I had the gnocchi followed by the Korean Ribs. My wife had the Brussels sprouts followed by the tuna ceviche. All the food was well prepared, served hot- when appropriate and came to the table in a timely fashion. We also had a side of truffle fires which were good too. Small plates were around $19-$23 per selection and were substantial portions. I will definitely go here again everything was excellent. If I could make one request, I understand they make a great burger but it is only available at the bar? Perhaps that could go on the main menu as well. I would be nice to go to a nice restaurant and get the burger and a salad if that’s what you felt like. Over all a great place. Buffalo get out and support this restaurant you will not be disappointed. -SF

What a find!! After a long day - the PERFECT spot for great food. Chef Brendon’s creative, well executed dishes and attentive team made our day. Had the: Brussels sprout side as an app-crispy and just the right amount of vinegar spiciness, Ricotta gnocchi - just “yum”, and the Korean ribs - with complex depth of flavor and just a tad of heat. Seasonal brûlée - pistachio with drunken cherries to finish. Wow. No pics because…we just ate it all up.

Stopped in here as we were passing through. GLAD WE DID. Food was excellent (had the brussel sprouts, Korean barbecue ribs, and the gnocchi with butternut squash. Creme brulee for dessert.). Service was great. Chef/owner stopped by and discussed the prep and really made us feel welcome. We would eat here frequently if we did not live a thousand miles away.

5/5. I cannot say enough about my recent experience hosting a get together for 12 people on Sept. 7th. We used the private room, great for an intimate gathering of our size. The food and drinks were perfect and the staff made it all the better. Thank you and we will see you soon.

Nice ambiance and service. They made a decent martini. I had the pork chop which was just ok. I really wanted to try their smash burger but apparently that is only served in the bar. Others in the party had the filet and said it was good.
Food is always fresh and delicious. Staff is pleasant and attentive.

It took me a while to finally try this place , probably because I did not hear any rave reviews . Well I am going to be the one , the one to leave a rave review . This may be the best Tuna Tartare I’ve ever had. The avocado mousseline was fluffy and perfectly mild to balance out the subtle jalapeño and soy vinaigrette. I don’t know who this chef is , but they understand how to tango the depth of flavors .
It’s a shame it was not a full house here because people are missing out . The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the sun was shining through the windows during dinner hour giving a gorgeous golden glow to the front of the bar and dining area .
If you want to branch out from all the Buffalo staples , this is it !

First time at Grezi and it was great! We pretty much did an appetizer extravaganza. Each one was better than the last! I had the caprese salad and a side of polenta. My date had the oysters and octopus and was impressed! Together we tried the tuna tartare! Impressive drink selection as well! Everything was excellent! Our waitress, Taylor was over the top! You will not go wrong trying Grezi!! And, they have their own parking lot in the back!! Big thumbs up for us!!!

Sunday, August 4th my companion & I had brunch at Grezi. It was not my first visit, I was at their opening day in September 2023 and soon thereafter we became regulars visiting several times a week.
Brunch is served until 2 pm, I called to see if a 1:30 reservation was acceptable & was told yes, the kitchen stops preparing brunch at 2 pm but the restaurant remains open until dinner service. It was clear from the initial seating that our server was on a mission to have us in/out in a half hour, to end her shift.
As we were being seated, she asked to take our drink order, we needed a chance to look at the beverage menu, she proceeded to return two more times within 5 minutes for the drink order. We were feeling pressured. When she brought the drinks, she informed us the kitchen would be unable to make our brunch as of 2 pm, it was 1:36, there was time. We promptly placed our food order. The server did not return until she served our food, at this point our water glasses were empty & she had no interest in refilling them, until we requested so. Again, she did not return until my companions plate was empty and offered me a to go box. My meal was a quarter eaten, as I was awaiting a water refill and glass of wine. The wine menu was not on the table, so I asked if they still had the Cabernet Franc from France, her answer was not yes or no but the wines offered by the glass were listed so on the menu, she obviously does not know the wine list & did not offer to check with the bartender.
When she presented the check I told her I had $21.05 rewards in my Toast account that I wanted to use, she replied we will see? She brought back the payment & told me no points showed up. I brought up my account on my phone showing the rewards dollars, again she did not know where to find or how to apply them. She begrudgingly asked if I would like to see the manager, I said yes. At this point she returned to the server station, directly behind us with a loud exclamation “Jesus” we both heard & were shocked. The manager came to our table, professional/friendly & willing to resolve the issue, showing the server how to get into the rewards section. She returned with the updated receipt & asked us to move our beverages & conversation to the bar area?

Had a spur of the moment dinner tonight without reservations and couldn’t be happier. Started with the mussels which were delicious then had halibut and salmon entrees which were done perfectly. Service was outstanding, can’t believe we’ve never heard of this establishment before. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!
