Wine Bars near Orchard Park

“I participated in a wine and cheese event recently at the newly opened wine bar hosted by Mark and Tara, with wines provided and procured by Rick and September of Cuvée Imports. Needless to say it was a wonderful evening with wines hand picked by Rick from familial and generational vineyards throughout France and Italy, and spectacular cheeses from The Cheese Factory, also in OP. A great time was had by all who attended, and I believe most of the wines, very reasonably priced by the way are available at Mark and Kris's shop, Brierwood Wine and Spirits in Hamburg. I look forward to my next visit!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Mangia tonight!!!! Our server Wilyana (sp?) was probably the best server I have ever had. All of our appetizers and entrees were flavorful and very generous portion size. 2 glasses of wine, salad, appetizer, pizza and three entrées, and dessert were only $140. We can’t wait to go back!!!“

“We had drinks at the bar that were unique and tasty! I loved the refreshing limoncella drink that was made from prosecco and fresh lemon We had a party of six so there were many dishes ordered. All of them were delicious and housemade... the serving sizes were not overly generous for the price, but they were very flavorful and well presented. Our server was not overly attentive to our table... we rarely saw her... We ordered the calamari appetizer plate... it was lightly breaded and served with a light sweet sauce. Very good... the bread that was served to the table was excellent... the foccacia had a crisp outer crust and chewy interior... it was beautiful! We did have to pay for the bread... they don't give bread to each table, had to be ordered. A ravioli dish was ordered and was excellent... it did need some extra parmesan cheese to make it perfect... The shortrib rigatoni bolonese was served in a pasta bowl and had meaty flavor with a very nice sauce. It also needed a shredding of parmesan as did all the pasta dishes... we had to flag someone down to get this... The halibut was thick and flaky, served on a bed of cous cous and was fresh and cooked perfectly... The lamb chops were served with a green pesto sauce and came on a bed of cous cous as well with some raisins and carrots mixed in. Very tender and cooked perfectly to medium... Another table mate ordered the spaghetti and thought it was very good, generous portion and was completely satisfied The desserts we ordered were the house made doughnut holes with the dipping sauces, Creme Brule, and a cannoli... the cannoli was the winner of the desserts with a crisp shell, generous filling that was neither too sweet nor soggy... there were slivered almonds on one end and chocolate curls on the other with additional dollops of cannoli filling on the plate Yum,yum!!! This is a very good special occasion restaurant!“

“Fun place with super nice staff and a great selection of brews! You "rent" a card per person with your credit card on entry. Grab a fresh glass and select and pour your own brew choice - whether an ounce or a full glass. A selection of wines and hard ciders were also available. Atmosphere is very casual and there is a lot of outdoor seating available in better weather. Food was good - pub style choices.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids, although I'm sure they are welcome...“

“I am super picky about Italian food and my opinion rarely reflects what everyone else considers good. I don’t usually go out for Italian in the area often because of this. I happened to come for my significant other’s birthday and was pleasantly surprised.We ordered a bottle of wine, Spanish octopus, lasagna, braised short rib agnolotti and a cannoli. The octopus was amazing. We order it often when we see it on a menu elsewhere and we were kind of surprised it was offered here. The flavor/ spices were perfect and I haven’t seen a cook on octopus that well done in ages, anywhere. The short rib agnolotti was perfect. Delicious short rib flavor and mushrooms were blended for a delicious dish. There was almost like a gravy for sauce and I highly considered licking it off the plate. Now the lasagna, was a huge portion, which everyone here goes wild for, that is not my top criteria but to each their own. I was a little disappointed with it. It could have been cooked a little more to get the cheese bubbly and it wasn’t seasoned well. The red sauce was just ok. For a dish that probably sells out every night I would think they would have this down pat. The cannoli was amazing. Super crispy shell and delicious filling.The ambiance is what I’d call mom and pop chic in this local gem. They are known for home made pasta and serve a lot of American Italian traditional dishes along with some twists on the classics. Service was great and they are open Mondays which is a huge plus for this area.“

“Bella Ciao (lower level of Embassy Suites - Downtown Buffalo Highly recommend! Excellent service (Isabella our waitress- her first time on her own after training- was excellent!) Food was very good! Homemade pasta- all very good! Management made sure they stopped at every table to check in! Great place!“

“We visited Symposium Wine Bar Lancaster NY , and enjoyed a 3 course chef prepared meal! Omg! Wow!!! Charcuterie, wine, main course... pasta to die for! The dessert decadent! Amazing staff, gourmet food, and a stunning atmosphere. Stop by ASAP for a big city experience where we felt like we were on vacation!“

“Wine. Buffalo Bills. Copper. Exposed brick. Kindness. PUPPIES ON A BAR. If you want to know what it’s like to win the lottery and then die and go to heaven, walk in to Just Vino.Owner Jeff will set you up with a glass of gold and then you can make small talk with the baby Jesus who’s sitting next to you pontificating about how every other bar takes a second seat to this one.Bring bacon, you won’t regret it. And neither will Baxter.“

“Coupked with new open container laws allowing residents to walk around with their beers, Fattey Beer Co is the best thing to happen to Central Av in the 25 years I've lived here. Staff is consistently fantastic. We joined the mug club and go there frequently. Having a selection of sodas, waters and juices is fantastic and meeting all the doggies that are welcome there always makes us smile.“

“Exactly what you crave for an easy, fun evening out: cool intimate listening venue, welcoming and beautiful host, fantastic musicians, good tapas, and nice choices for bottle of wine or cocktails. .Pausa…. BRAVA!!Vegetarian options: Vegan may be harder to come by unless you drop the cheese. Vegetarian choices there are a few!Parking: Don’t cut it close. Give yourself time to find a spot.“

“We stopped in for a coffee at Mambrino King in East Aurora today, killing time between appointments. I felt like we were stepping back in time to a sumptuous and opulent jewel-box of an intimate coffee house / cocktail bar. I easily imagined that I was aboard the Orient Express in all its turn of the century loveliness! It was truly a feast for the eyes as well as the palate! The furnishings were carefully curated and wonderfully staged for maximum gorgeousness! They also serve up a wide array of cocktails and liquors, if that's your thing. Coffee is prepared on demand so freshness is key! I thoroughly enjoyed a cup of Red Eye, with its satisfying shot of espresso. My husband had a cup of house blend, equally delicious. When you order a coffee, you get a complimentary refill before you leave! We'll definitely add this coffee shop in our rotation when we're circulating through the Main St area in East Aurora!“

“Highly recommend Tappo restaurant. Very creative menu choices. Food is fresh with beautiful presentation and amazing taste. Service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is fun and lively. By far our favorite restaurant! Always our number 1 choice.“

“Highly recommend this restaurant! Just had the best lamb chops I’ve ever had and an overall a feast of flavors. Definitely an experience I want to come back to. Our server Matt was very attentive and perfect timing. Thank you for such a wonderful time.“

“Waited over 50 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese to go! Paid $10 & tipped ahead of time. When I went to go ask where it was the bartender said I will get it when it’s ready. Waited another 10 minutes after telling them and still nothing. I work in the industry so I’m always very patient when it comes to these things but this was just disrespect. They weren’t even busy we arrived right at 11:00am when they opened. I was watching people that ordered way after me get their food, that’s when I decided to go up politely to see how much longer and got the disrespect. This is my first bad review I have left in my life. I’m a very patient person. An hour wait for a bagel with cream cheese to go and I had to leave without it.“

“They generally have good food; however, in the past 2 years, the quality of their pizza has dropped significantly. The crust is almost nonexistent, the toppings are scant. Last night we ordered a large pizza: cheese, pepperoni, and banana peppers. The cheese and pepperoni were a good amount (i.e. not great), the banana peppers were almost nonexistent. The quality has suffered and not up to the standards they had when they were located on Center Road. It appears that profit has outweighed quality: Less dough per pizza equals more money in the pocket. The price has increased to almost $60 for a large pizza and a double order of wings. It used to be $40. Less product for more money. I do understand that the cost of doing business has increased, but the quality should not suffer related to that. I would think that, with the current influx of travelers for the eclipse, they would want to put their best foot forward. And, for the current loyal customers, i.e. us, they would want to maintain them. We have been loyal to Pasquale's for well over 20 years. You need to rethink your attitude toward product.“

“As always, food and service were both excellent! We had a 5:30pm reservation before a show. We finished our meal with plenty of time. For an appetizer, we had the hot stuffed peppers. The sauce on the side was a nice bonus and tasty for fries. For entrees, we had the hot chicken sandwiches. I don't typically like chicken or chicken sandwiches. I tend to always get a piece with grizzle. This sandwich was perfect though and the chicken was flavorful.“

“The food was acceptable, we went on Valentine's Day. The service was good. It wouldn't be my first choice for Italian but it wasn't horrible. The restaurant was clean and well lit. I had a slice of their pizza a week before and it was real good.“
