“The food at Beacon Grille is amazing, we love the charred octopus every time, The duck was outstanding as well. We both had 2 rounds of the downtown cheerio which was a fun nod to the city, what really stood out to me, though, was the attention to detail, I watched the restaurant manager meticulously measure each table with a tape measure to ensure they were perfectly spaced, and even the placement of the silverware and napkins were exact. That level of care is shown with every part of the dining experience, you can tell this team takes pride in what they do.“

“Best location! Top brunch place ever!“

“We stopped in on a Tuesday because we were shopping in the area and are so glad we did! The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was nice (maybe the music could be lowered), and the food was amazing! I had the duck two ways and it was gorgeous and perfectly cooked. He had the enormous pork chop, also cooked perfectly and juicy. Great cocktails and apps as well. Highly recommend.“

“Great cocktails and wine selection. Very creative and delicious. Small plates of beef tartare, and shrimp were tasty, with nice portions. Steak pomms frits large plate was delicious. Chocolate budino topped with crushed pistachio and citrus dusting was amazing. Thanks to our son for the gift certificate.“

“Drinking is ok. But food takes forever, even when it isn’t busy. Fries cold, sandwich lukewarm at best.“

“Always an amazing experience at Vice. Service is always on point, the food is fresh and the cocktails are some of the best in Buffalo.“

“Enjoyed an excellent dinner tonight at Savor. Food was delicious-there were four of us—two of us had the pork chop and the other two had the Swiss burger. Well prepared, juicy, tasty. Would have again. The $30 prix fixe dinner offers appetizer (we had the crab cake and the goat cheese and quinoa salad), main course and dessert (all excellent). Student/servers did a great job. Hats off to the chefs. Will return. Make sure to get a reservation.“

“Service was fantastic !!! Food and drinks were great .“

“We move to this area a few months ago and drove by the country cottage many times and we finally decided to try the breakfast. It was outstanding! The wait time was very short even when it was busy. The waitresses were very good and the food is awesome! The country cottage is definitely our new go to for breakfast! We've enjoyed the breakfasts here many times and each time it's outstanding! Very highly recommend!!“

“Food was AMAZING!! 10 out of 10 for the food and service. Our server Ryan was wonderful. He even greeted us all with waters (a cute little child cup for our son). Our server took the time to chat with us and was very attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back to eat there next time we are out this way!🍽“

“Amazing place to stop for food and drinks . The French onion soup is literally one of the best I have had in WNY I don’t say that lightly. I absolutely love French onion soup . We have been here multiple times and have never had anything bad off of there menu ❤️“

“Great food, bartenders were awesome. The beers were fresh and there were plenty to choose from. One thing it does need is another TV at the other side of the bar. This would help when there are any home games on, you can watch it from either side of the bar.“

“Absolutely a fabulous time! Delicious food/great service! My new favorite place to go!“

“Hands down one of the best meals and experiences we've ever had! Our server Joe was phenomenal, manger Mike gave us one of the best anniversary dinners ever! From beginning to end we loved every moment! Thank you for giving us our new favorite date night spot, we can't wait to come back!!!!“

“Every time I’ve eaten at the Phoenix 269 the food was incredible- the service is perfect. I love the atmosphere and the patio. It’s a cozy, family run business that makes you feel like your eating with family! I had the shrimp dish / it was delicious. The ice cream pie was unbelievably good! I’ll be back.“

“I wouldn't recommend the Steak Quesadilla as it was extremely salty. However the chicken quesadilla was mighty delicious.“

“Since I became extremely lactose intolerant, eating out is always a disappointment. Not here! I could trust everything on the menu. I took a vegetarian friend and one with no food restrictions and we loved everything we ordered. Super friendly staff, great service and the food was outstanding. Mac and cheese, yes please!“

“The Celtic Menu was planned for this week and a friend and I ordered the Seafood light cream soup and Fall salad with romaines, toasted hazelnuts, grilled orange slices,et cetera to start ! Each was so very delicious ! Before that we were given their complimentary amusebusce ( sp.? ) of their homegrown cherry tomatoes, flavored butter and asparagus. The breadbasket had Irish soda bread,and one other roll. My entree was two pieces of beautifully fried fish, and shoestring French fries,and Cole slaw. Best that I’ve ever had ! Another entree was a lamb pasty with vegetables. The crust was marvelous and the lamb gently seasoned. We could not resist the ‘pot pie’ on a light,crust with delicious vegetables. 2 desserts were offered but we must leave room for those on another visit ! The chef takes time to come out to the tables to check about the food,and the staff is VERY attentive . This was a wonderful experience, as every time we attend ! Treat yourself !“

“Best place in town. The food is fantastic and always consistent. Reasonably priced as well.“

“Have been going here forever. It’s been a while and still top notch! Warm, charming atmosphere, consistent, fantastic service. Great place for a date, we had a great night , thank you!“

“My husband and my family come here all the time. It is always spot on and the service is always amazing! Was just there for breakfast today and it was so good and the waitress was so nice. Keep up the great work, you’re always busy for good reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great vegan options- lovely spot.“

“Cool buffalo relic of the past. Older crowd, cheap pricing and a small parking lot out back. Went in at 9pm on a Saturday and it was just two patrons and the bar was ready to close by 10. But they open at 8am. Super clean facility especially for how much history it has.“

“Stopped in on a Tuesday evening. Had a great meal. The corn chowder was superb. The chef made a special strawberry and feta salad for me. Husband had a burger that was delicious. We have had Cosmopolitans at many Buffalo bars, and these were some of the best. We were happy to meet Tony. He has been a customer at our business and we were happy to enjoy a meal at his business.“

“Awesome restaurant and bar. The only thing that exceeded the food was the staff.“

“I wouldn't recommend the Steak Quesadilla as it was extremely salty. However the chicken quesadilla was mighty delicious.“

“Great vibe, food and service a regular family favorite every summer for years“

“Went to Betty’s today for a little brunch/lunch today! We had Brian as our server, he was super attentive, gave great recommendations, and kept our waters refilled (huge plus). The portions were perfect if not bigger than we could eat. We enjoyed the patio and being able to eat outside. Definitely will be back!“

“On the phone Alex is especially great. He was very accommodating.“

“Went there before a play for dinner at Shea's Buffalo. This place is on the Chippewa bar strip, so we were not expecting much. Walking inside, it looks like a typical party/cocktail bar, brick walls, long bar, and tables opposite the bar with plastic chairs and Formica tables, so you are sitting in the bar. At 5:30PM on restaurant week before a nearby playing of Hamilton, we were the only diner's there (and only 4 others at the bar). Now the good part.... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!!!!! Waitress/bartender was prompt, attentive and friendly. The special for restaurant week that we had was $35 for soup/salad (I had soup), Duck with asparagus, yams, sprouts and and pie for dessert. This meal was fabulous! Perfect portion and perfect flavor. The caramel/peanut butter pie was luscious! On top of all this, we were there during happy hour, so $3 a beer. I highly recommend trying this place to eat, just don't expect a cozy, intimate atmosphere. You won't be disappoints, and you won't be broke.“

“Went to celebrate a friends job promotion and had a wonderful time here. I had the P250 burger, which was not only reasonably priced for this place but very delicious. Really enjoyed the shoestring fries as well and trying a different appetizers that were ordered for the table. Though I’m completely blanking on our servers name, he was fantastic and so accommodating for our party.“

“great atmosphere and service“

“Got stranded at Christmas 2022. This hotel staff is absolutely amazing!! Very accommodating, super helpful. Other hotels are running out of food and these guys are making breakfast and a dinner for everyone. It’s truly an amazing crew. They are stranded with us and dealing with all the stress yet have a smile on their face!! A can not recommend this place enough, just because of the staff. Merry Christmas and thank you so very very much!!!“

“Love coming here. Most waiters are really cool. There's one waitress who is not preferred. Food is good and nice portions. Beautiful scenery for quick pics and valet parking. They will fix mistakes...please be specific and have them repeat your order to you.“

“The smoked ribs are awesome and I am a big fan of the tavern fries! The Mac and cheese as a little perfect kick to it and they even have French onion soup!“

“Dwyer's wings are always great. We got the mild Cajun and loganberry BBQ. Yummy! We also ordered onion rings, which I was fairly disappointed at, considering I paid $10 for maybe 7 rings. I'm not sure that it was, but It may have been a full slice of an onion... FOR $10! Supercharger was playing and the music was great! The only downside to the atmosphere was one fairly inebriated woman kept smoking at the table next to us, even after the waitress directed her where to smoke. She was finally given a warning and then found her way over to the smoking area.“

“The service was quick and friendly. We stayed at the Wyndham hotel and had a quick delicious supper here.“
