Server was attentive and kind. Food was tasty and served hot. Nice. Atmosphere casual, but a bit noisy, tall ceilings. Headed to theater after dinner, we were served in plenty of time to socialize, eat slow and pay our bill and make the show. Plus use the clean restrooms.

I went to 42N at the Flats with 2 friends after a matinee at Shea's. The space is beautiful. It was busy but not noisy--very conducive to private conversation. Food was delicious I wish I could remember our server's name. He was very friendly and accommodating, knew the menu well, and was quite efficient. It couldn't have been much more convenient to Shea's. All in all, we had a great experience. I would definitely go back.

42N at the Flats has a cool vibe, bustling with diners and those just socializing at the bar. Our server was very attentive and the food delicious. My husband and I each had a burger. He ordered his with the homemade chips and they arrived still slightly warm. I tried the French fries and they were also great. He had a seasonal beer and I had an N/A Athletic. He liked his selection and I was happy that there were non-alcoholic choices for me. This is a great location to eat before a show or when headed to a hockey game.

We picked this place because it was reasonably priced and was near our hotel. The room was fairly long, with a high ceiling, nicely lit and decorated with some historical looking pictures. The high ceiling made it a little echo-y since there wasn't really anything to absorb the sound. It wasn't crowded, but that wasn't too surprising for a rainy Tuesday evening in the theater district. The food was excellent and the service was great. I has a very good red blend wine that was delicious. I would still go back there if I get to Buffalo again.

Everything was wonderful from the check in, to drinks at the bar to table service! They even had a phone charger for my husband to use while we sipped on Winter Ale! We’ll definitely be back!
