    The four of us had a soft shelled crab tempura and shrimp mousse stuffed squash blossoms for an appetizer. The barramundi, boeuf bourguignonne, and lamb ribs were all excellent. We brough two exquisite wines, which were uncorked and decanted perfectly. The white tablecloths and 1960s music all made us feel like we were in an exclusive club. This is a hidden gem in Santa Monica.

    Our entire experience - the delicious drinks and stellar meal with great service set to a back ground of classic songs from The Rolling Stones , the Beatles - was terrific. We could talk and enjoy everything in that beautiful dining room setting. Exciting things happening too with color and a new look outside in the works!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Buffalo Club, and I can confidently say it's one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and presented beautifully. The menu offers a variety of options, and everything I tasted was simply outstanding. The attention to detail in both the food and service made the evening truly special. Whether you're a foodie looking for your next great meal or someone who just appreciates a fantastic dining experience, Buffalo Club is a must-visit. I can't wait to return!

    When I made the reservation, I asked to be seated on the patio as it looked lovely in the photos on the website. When we arrived we were told the patio wasn't open as there had been a large party there the night before and it wasn't set up. After we complained bitterly, they set up a table for us, but all the other tables and chairs were missing so it looked very bleak (nothing like the picture online). I ordered a Pina Colada but was told they couldn't make one because they didn't have a blender! What bar doesn't have a blender? but they offered to make one without a blender (which was awful) as was the 2nd drink from the menu (The Living Dead). One of us ordered the tuna tartare as an appetizer but were told they were out of that as well as another item. I ordered the lamb dish but to me it tasted like mutton and I took it home and fed it to my dog. The others at the table ordered the moussaka and were pleased with it. We shared a Buffalo Bar for dessert and that was good. The service was good but the whole experience was a disappointment, especially because it was my and my husband's 47th anniversary! I definitely would not recommend this restaurant and will not return, Plus it is expensive!

    Lovely ambience and service, great for a date night with my wife. Food was for the most part super (get the beef bourgignone) except for the Barramundi which was okay.
