It was our first time here and we loved it! The food was so delicious and the service was great! We sat at the bar and had Dave as our server. We will definitely make this a regular place for us!

We came in to a mostly empty restaurant. From the moment we walked in we were rushed. Sat down, ordered 2 glasses of wine. Minutes later, ordered, and the artichoke app, which was phenomenal, was out seconds later. Our last bites were interrupted by the waitress taking it away and then delivering our entrees. Our whole experience inside was 30 minutes ish. Until we got home. We both stopped eating the chicken when we got to the pink parts. We both got sick at home. Our bill was $105. Don't eat here. They'll hurt you.

This place started out great. Then, I ordered a 30 steak. The menu read Strip steak with potato and vegetable.....that's it......it came slathered in gravy... my potatoes were covered as well.. gravy....all over a steak ???. It ruined my dinner....it was raw when asked for medium... I was headed to a show with very little time left to have a new meal cooked especiallysince i never asked for or read (slathered in gravy). basically , I have to try dinner again tonight because I didn't really get one last night. This place needs to be clearer w their menu... that gravy was gross and didn't belong all over everything without some sort of warning. You ruined my dinner. Thanks. It was gross. I wouldn't be proud of slathering gravy on ppls food without their knowledge. I won't be back.

Never disappoints! The food is wonderful. Great wine list. Cozy patio. Dave, the owner and chef, always makes his way out if the kitchen tip greet guests and asks if the meal was enjoyed. One of my favorite places!

I am most sure why this place was almost empty on a Saturday night…we were a party of seven and after about 8:45 and the early diners left it was empty. You all are missing out! Our service was attentive and friendly. The drinks were well balanced and priced well. I had the grapefruit Cosmo which sounds odd but it was refreshing and balanced. I had the fish fry which was a LARGE piece of fish with Cole slaw and pasta salad. Normally, the sides are kind of an afterthought. Not here. Both had flavor, freshness and weren’t put in those little paper side cups. The fry batter stayed on and you could actually eat both and the batter at the same time. I have found in Buffalo that oftentimes the batter doesn’t adhere and you eat just plain fish…not my favorite. My partner had the burge and she told me the beef actually had flavor. She asked for medium well and got it. Usually when you ask for medium well you either get medium and well done. Hers was cooked just right. My other friend got the shrimp and grits. It was huge. She actually got about 6-8 ( I didn’t count) but knew it wasn’t four which a lot of times is the standard. The were good sized and she finished the entire dish which is unusual for her. She was t was delicious. Another person for the rack of lamb and he said it was phenomenal. Truthfully I was talking so much I didn’t pay attention to the other food at the table lol. During the meal a gentleman came over and asked how our meal was and we all commented that it was great! He seemed very happy and thanked us for coming and would enjoy seeing us again. We stayed and had drinks right up until closing and never felt rushed. The bar still had patrons that I am sure are regulars and everyone seemed to be having a great time. One of the owners came over and and how we had heard of them and I told her that I used Google and Yelp and they had gotten great reviews! She went on to tell us about their great patio and to be sure and use their parking lot as well. As you are are aware parking at a restaurant in Buffalo can be challenging. Having a parking lot is a premium! We can’t wait to enjoy the patio this summer but will go back again for dinner and drinks before then! You all are missing out if you haven’t tried this place!
Parking: Side of building with access to the patio as well.
I love this restaurant, they are friendly and polite. They're food is excellent.And the bar is fast moving and the drinks are well done.The bar tender Cindy, remembers faces names and what you like to drink.
