    My wife and I brought some friends from out of town in to dine, and, as always, it did not disappoint. A wonderful fine dining experience, everything ordered was prepared to perfection. The gorgonzola-crusted ribeye was the highlight of the meal, along with the superb cocktails. The service was also fantastic, and made for a truly remarkable experience.

    Great food! One of the best, if not the best, Caesar salad 🥗 ever. Steak 🥩 prepared perfectly, and accompanied by delicious mashed potatoes 🥔, and broccolini. And, the demi glaze sauce on the side was excellent. My wife’s Faroe Islands salmon was reportedly outstanding too. Good wine list and great cocktails 🍸. Elena, our server/bartender not only served us well, but also had great recommendations on both, food and cocktails. She won’t steer you wrong. We’ll definitely be back. Oh! The live piano 🎹 music is also just perfect. I can’t remember his name, but the piano player and singer is really good. A very nice addition to the whole atmosphere.

    Although set inside a hotel, this restaurant had such a cool vibe. Beautiful bar, open kitchen, modern decor, private nooks. The server was efficient, but didn’t exactly give his tables the warm and fuzzies. The short rib, potatoes and rainbow chard were to die for. So tender and flavorful. Had a bite of my husband’s steak and that took was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. Great little stop for our first night in Buffalo.
