SZND is a unique upscale restaurant in the city of Buffalo! I love dining in their sophisticated intimate setting. Everything about this restaurant is fantastic! They provide excellent service. Their food is seasoned to perfection! I highly recommend the blackened artichokes for an appetizer. The fettuccine & scallops and halibut are two dishes not to be missed! I've dined here on several occasions. It's been consistently wonderful every time! Their address is on Hertel but the entrance is around the corner. The sign is easy to miss. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is a parking lot across the street I usually have luck finding a space there. It's definitely worth making a trip out here!

We had dinner last night. The food was delicious. However, the portion size of the NY Strip steak was significantly smaller than stated on their online menu for the same price. Disappointing…

Cannot say enough about how fantastic this place is, their food is so incredible that they could easily charge double and I'd still want to eat here! The venue is so well thought out and feels homey and very much like a local gem versus a chain type place, it is great. They also have an incredible wine selection, much larger than one would expect for a place of this size! Location is definitely not super large, so we would recommend making a reservation in advance. Definitely worth a visit!!!

Great food and great service. Short rib was amazing. No clue why it took so long for me to come here but I'll definitely be back.

Great food and service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. A great place to eat just for the ambiance.

I came here for dinner and really enjoyed the ambiance. The food was good and our server was very nice. Knocking off one star because the service was extremely slow, our dinner took extremely long to come out. Definitely a good date night or girls night spot.

Did takeout and the artichoke with crab was good. Solid appetizer size and good flavor. The octopus dish was solid but the octopus didn’t have enough char and wasn’t the best cooked. The flavor was there but just needed to be cooked longer and seared.
Got to try this lovely restaurant for dinner on a work trip. This place is so gorgeously decorated, it looks like a restaurant designed by Dior. Service was very friendly as well.The food here is so amazing, I was surprised my coworker and I were the only people there. They need much more love! The baked Brie was delicious and melty, spreads perfectly on the well toasted bread & the toppings complemented well in taste and texture. The pasta is made fresh here and was so delicious to bite into , the scallops were just the gems on top. The pork belly was heavenly, I don't think I've ever had better!

I love this family run eatery. It's an intimate space and we love eating at the bar. Selections are always changing and always delicious. The owner has the kitchen humming and avails herself to greet customers. Very attentive service.One of my fav's in Buffalo

My wife and I went for dinner, she had the steak, I ordered the chicken. The chicken dish was delicious, but for the price I paid for the steak, I was expecting better. Would go again as overall the ambiance, drinks, and food were good.

Delightful, intimate restaurant with friendly staff and truly excellent food! Everything my sister and I ate was exceptional - fresh, and carefully cooked so it was flavorful. Well-mixed cocktails both on and off their menu added to a wonderful meal.We were able to get a table easily without a reservation, although we went very early during the week. This is a great place for both date night or family celebration dinners (we saw both during our meal) with easy parking off Hertel Ave.

What a great selection of dishes. Where else are you going to find Wahoo and bison ribs? Everything is fresh and well prepared. Great desserts, cocktails and wine.
A wonderful experience
