We started our tasty journey with the Olives, featuring the Castelvetrano and Cuquillo varieties. They have just a hint of orange that makes a boring bowl of olives a standout taste experience.The Potato Latkes were up next, served with tobiko taramasalata and tarragon. The combination is absolutely incredible, striking a perfect balance between texture and flavor...perfection.For our entrees, our group had the Ravioli Dauphine and the Lamb Meatball Bomber. The ravioli, filled with tender lamb shank and drizzled with beurre blanc, accompanied by scorzonera and crispy kale, is fantastic. The Lamb Meatball Bomber is delicious with its kale, sumac onions, and garlic yogurt.However, the star of the show was undoubtedly the Braised Chicken Leg, paired with black futsu squash, lentils, sage, and endive. It's no exaggeration when I say this is the best meal I have ever had in my entire life. The depth of flavor, the perfect cook on the chicken, and the harmony of the accompaniments is simply unparalleled.We had the Vanilla Panna Cotta with lemon, honey, and toffee for dessert. I have no words that adequately capture its sheer perfection.The Little Club delivered an exceptional dining experience. If I could give them six stars, I would. Every dish was a testament to the chef's mastery over their craft. I cannot recommend The Little Club highly enough; it is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining at its best.

Whenever I am looking for a place to treat myself, Little Club is where it's at. The food is just gorgeous and so delicious. They have a stellar wine collection and I've learned so many new favorite wines here ❤️

This is a nice little upscale place to hang out and chat with friends more than a real restaurant. The food is really good, as one would expect from a place tied to Lombardo's (across the street), but there's more of an atmosphere of sharing plates rather than getting a meal. The atmosphere is nice, and the staff seem attentive, but not overly pushy, and overall nice and concerned with making their customers feel comfortable.While I might feel that it's a little pricey, the quality of the food is probably worth it.

The Little Club is easily one of the best restaurants in the city of Buffalo for carefully-selected wine with special attention to female winemakers and thoughtfully-prepared food featuring hyper-local ingredients. I was recently there for their Beaujolais Nouveau dinner, which was a ticketed event that sold out! I am sorry that Chris didn't get a ticket!! It was a great event, Chris!!

Just had the best foodie dinner! Wished I took more photos. Everyone at home was busy except my foodie teen and me. She has never been to the Little Club and I go rarely. Melinda (?) and Maggie our severs had excellent suggestions and did not make us feel rushed even though we were late. We shared 3 small plates (beets with tahini, fennel with herbs, carrots and burrata) and the sirloin steak. Everything was delicious, beautifully plated, not something you could make at home. The steak was served medium rare and sliced, was so tender with a bitter salad and a creamy sauce. The big farm carrots were roasted perfectly with burrata that definitely is not from the grocery store. The herbs on the fennel were all fresh. The tahini with the beets was the best way I have ever had tahini. The French red wine on tap was a perfect light and dry accompaniment.

Eating here was a wonderful experience . We ordered the olives , the fennel dish, a ceasar salad and the sirloin steak. All the food was so good! This is one of the best restaurants in Buffalo in my opinion .
Great food - cute restaurant! We enjoy our trip every time we go. We've also always had really nice servers.

Dining at the Little Club was a fantastic experience in every way. While visiting my boyfriend Damian from out of state, we planned this restaurant as our first step in our reunion - a fitting start to our time together. He had previously found this restaurant while looking for a place reviewed for excellent service, quality food, and an extensive wine list -- which were all delivered. Although we had 10pm reservations, we were running late, and were unable to get there on time. However, calling the staff was extremely helpful, as they accommodated us and allowed us to be seated by cooking the food ahead of time. Truly kind and helpful people working at this establishment. As we got there, the place was clean, inviting, and attractive, with an intimate atmosphere for patrons. In terms of the food itself, the flavors were phenomenal. A farm to table approach, we had high expectations for the both the quality and pairing of our ingredients. Trying the lamb tartare as our appetizer was a unique flavor that was unlike anything else that had been tried before, paired with fantastic local crackers. The sirloin steak was extremely tender, and the housemade pasta was apparent in its freshness. The satisfaction was clear - when I looked into his face when he took his first bite, the only thing I saw was joy. Each dish was prepared with attention to the flavor profile as well as aesthetic appeal in mind, and it was apparent in the dishes. Overall, dining at The Little Club was thoroughly enjoyable due to the accommodating and kind staff, paired with the exceptional food and atmosphere.

I love this spot on Hertel! The atmosphere is warm, pleasant and eclectic. A few years ago when I went I just a had a few small plates and some wine, and it was delicious. Recently went back and they expanded their small plate offering, and added large plates as well, and again, delicious! They also added an outdoor front patio with heaters and it will be enclosed in the winter. Can't wait to come back.

When you enter in you feel transported to a different place. When you're inside you forget that you're in Buffalo. It gives you a feeling that you are in San Diego, San Francisco or elsewhere. It gives you vibes of small hidden restaurants of metropolitan city.The food was delicious and very well present. The octopus was extremely tender and presented in an innovative way.The wine selection was extensive.We were very happy with our selection.The costalis where handcraftet with delicasy and very well preseted.The Bartender was very neat, skiled and head great attitude and personality. She gave a good contribution to alive the place.Service was fantastic.The only reason I am giving 4 star is because there was no gluten-free option for the main course. I ended up eating only appetizers.If you have no dietary restrictions, I highly recommend it.If you have dietary restrictions, I recommend calling them in advance and ask for the menu of the day. Since it chages daily.Vegetarian options: Small plates had vegetarian options. However there were no vegetarian options for the big plates.
The last time I had a meal this good was at a Michelin-starred restaurant. If someone asked me what the best restaurant in Buffalo is, The Little Club is what I'd tell them. Staff is equally incredible.
