Went to dinner with 3 friends last night. The atmosphere was BEAUTIFUL and the staff was great! The food however wasn’t so great. I ordered the roast chicken breast (golden lentils, parsnip, chorizo gravy) it was so tough I had to use a steak knife the chicken was also so dry- that couldn’t eat more than a few bites. One friend ordered the dry-aged beef coulotte (Rare)and it came out medium. Another friend ordered the overnight ranch steak, but was served the dry aged beef coulotte as well. She ordered hers medium rare, and it came out Medium Well. Lastly our friend ordered a special vegetarian dish, which she said tasted good but was a child side portion and she was left hungry. Drinks were ALL amazing! Overall great place, just need to improve the food preparation.

My husband and I went here for the first time tonight and everything was just wonderful. I have a gluten allergy and also can’t eat soy or dairy right now. I put a note in the reservation and our waiter knew and was prepared with recommendations for me. There was so much on the menu I could already have and even more that could be modified to meet my dietary restrictions. Often I feel like I’m being an annoying customer with all these allergies and restrictions (I did not choose this life, trust me) but they made me feel taken care of, that I deserve to have a nice meal out even though there are things I can’t have.Not to mention, the meal was INCREDIBLE. The mushroom sopes were to die for, as well as the monk fish. The chocolate gelato (which was dairy free… are you kidding me!?!) was an absolute masterpiece. One of the top 10 meals I’ve ever had.Incredible service, menu, and atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend more! Thank you!Dietary restrictions: No soy at all used in the restaurant, dairy free and gluten free options widely available.

I received a gift certificate for my birthday from my son. This place is awesome and the service and food was outstanding! I highly recommend this place! I love trying different foods and the barbecue lamb and lentils were excellent. My husband had cheesecake for dessert and said it's the best he's ever had!

We stopped in without a reservation but they were still able to seat us. Huge wine list, had the best sparkling wine I've ever had, and the oysters were incredible. Service was very friendly and

This is the place to go for a culinary adventure. A lot of negative reviews here have to do with “this dish wasn’t what I expected.” But that’s exactly the point!It was really interesting and exciting to first see such traditional cooking techniques/terms on the menu- only for each arriving dish’s interpretation of that to be an elevated, often unexpected twist on the staid usage. Also, as some others have noted, there are lots of ingredients in each dish that aren’t on the menu. I agree that this is not something I see often in Buffalo; professionally, I’ve encountered a lot of “want to make sure I get my money’s worth” re menus, but a certain amount of secrecy makes it more fun! Also, practically, it would just be silly to list literally every ingredient in the menu.Not all of the dishes were to my liking, but people obviously have different palates and tastes, so that doesn’t have any reflection on the restaurant. I found many things delicious, but my personal favorites from this menu were their dry-aged beef coulotte and quinoa— and this amazing plum grenobloise (which I was very sad to discover upon getting online later doesn’t exist anywhere except in the head of Chef), and the creme cheese ice cream with earl grey caramel and spiced bread. My partner especially loved the pickled mussels, carrot with venison pasta, and burnt basque cheesecake.I can’t believe it took us so long to get here- of course, we will be back!Also, if you want a quiet, romantic meal, come Wednesday, like we did.Dietary restrictions: I noted my various annoying allergies on the reservation, and our lovely server knew them when we arrived, and was able to point out which drinks and dishes to steer clear of.
Absolutely the best service, creative food and incredible cocktails!!

Wanted to love it, but fell short. Both of our dinners were very rich and heavy. Waitress took away our bottle of wine with some still in it. Not the best experience.

This is the best restaurant in Buffalo. It's a unique eating experience. Go in with an open mind, try something new, and be blown away. Every dish was fantastic. The staff was the most attentive of any restaurant.l I have been to in Buffalo. This felt like a fine dining establishment you'd find in NYC or Toronto. I look forward to seeing this restaurant evolve in the coming years. I could easily see this restaurant winning a James Beard award soon.

Service was great. The food is generally good but a bit 'quirky'. Be up for a food adventure that could include unusual yet interesting combinations.
