    For a truly fantastic dining experience, it’s Panorama on Seven! Sometimes we’re willing to settle for just okay food when the ambiance is special or unique. Here both are fantastic. The great view of the city is matched with the high quality of the food along and the friendly & professional staff.

    I gave the ambience a FAIR because the restauraurant was too cool. Don’t you have a furnace? It is November and you’re right at the lake. Let’s warm the place up.

    Love the Christmas decorations! The lemon drop martini was excellent. I had the beet salad, probably one of the best I have ever had and I had the rigatoni, it was delicious. Their red sauce is delicious. My dad had a glass of red wine, which he loved and he had chicken parm, it was excellent. Big portions!

    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.

    We always look forward to starting off with warm bread and two kinds of whipped butter that’s so addictive! Had a lovely dinner and enjoyed our filet mignon steaks with lemon broccolini, twice baked potato, garlic mash, veggies, and bacon wrapped scallops. We finished off with the sticky toffee pudding which was nice. Not too sweet and just the right amount to share.
