    Started off with a warm greeting upon entering a semi empty resturant. Waitied 15 minutes for our server to show up to the table. We ordered our drinks that took another 10 minutes for her to come back and say they couldn’t make their signature apple pie old fashioned. At that point we ordered a regular old fashioned and our meal. Drinks took another 10 minutes to arrive from that point. French onion soup was very good. Mac and cheese was good as well. Ribeye was severely undercooked and I watched the cook barehand it around the plate. Server never checked to see if food was good. She never offered to refill our water. Service was so bad to the point we had to go to the bar to cash out. Waitress totally forgot about us. Save your money and go someplace else. Buffalo has a lot of good steak options extremely close by to this place.

    Will give them another try in future. Drink glass had a chip in it. Never a thought to comp the drink. Steak was undercooked. Only at around the edges. Server never asked if this was to my liking. Food came way too fast. Wasn't finished with onion soup when steak dinner was served. Way to rushed for this type of restaurant. Love the atmosphere. Will give it another chance in the future.

    Fabulous! They have done a wonderful job with the former Morton’s space. The food, ambiance, and service were all outstanding. Dry-aged steaks are rare to find in Buffalo, but you can find them here as well as a gorgeous 30-year port to cap off your meal. We already made a reservation to go again!!

    We went for Thanksgiving dinner. Not their regular menu. It was a price fixed menu, 4 coure meal. Each course had a few good options. Meal was well worth the price.

    One of the worst meals we’ve ever had. Definitely not upscale at all. We went there for thanksgiving and they where serving a prefix menu. This should have been an easier than a normal service because of the limited menu. It started when I ordered a dirty martini that was not dirty. She told me to try it to make sure so I took a sip told her it was definitely not dirty. She brought me olive juice to the table to mix it myself. We should have left right then. Cocktail sauce had no horseradish in it, it was ketchup with hot sauce added. French onion soup was burnt. Caesar salad was made hours before and was wilted and poorly dressed. The turkey wasn’t even real turkey, it was a processed turkey roll. Super salty and inedible. Deserts were poor quality bulk made box desserts. Service was just as bad as the food. It was slow and our server kept disappearing. She took away our utensils after soup and salad and did not replace them so when our entrees arrived we could not eat. She never came back with utensils and I had to get another server to help us (even though I had tried numerous times to get the attention or server). Way over priced for the food and service you get. They said they have been open for 6 months. Honestly I don’t think they will survive another 6 months.

    Food was great, service was terrific, hospitality outstanding, however the ambiance wasn’t top notch. No piano player as expected . Hopefully when we return it will be up to par.

    Although the restaurant was not that busy, service was very slow. My chicken piccata was delicious, but my partner’s beef dip was burned and very crusty. We enjoyed listening to the piano player. The restaurant temperature was also very cool.
