A word from Buffalo Club

Established in 1994 by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning writer Anthony Yerkovich, and featuring the internationally-renowned cuisine of Executive Chef/Partner Patrick Healy, The Buffalo Club now offers two uniquely different, remarkable dining experiences for its clientele.

The menu has several Buffalo Club classics and a new selection of dishes finished at tableside. Texas dry rub Tomahawk Chop, Dover Sole roasted on the bone and a cheese cart with selections from around the world are just a few dishes which will be prepared tableside. The Garden Courtyard Bar offers Brendan’s exceptional cocktail creations, many featuring juices squeezed to order, house-infused syrups and fresh fruit infusions. Continued

"This place used to be great for a special occasion. It had a great speakeasy feel with an amazing cocktail list and mellow music. Now it has undertrained waitstaff, obnoxious and loud pop music, and seriously disappointing food and drink menus.

We took a couple of friends (from out of town) to Buffalo Club for a celebratory dinner, hoping to impress them. We were, instead, quite embarrassed. This was not the restaurant that we had been to (many times) before. They have moved to "small plates," instead of full meals. The result in the drop in cost is also a drop in quality.

We won't be returning and we're really bummed about it."

"We were one of only four other couples in the entire restaurant and after seeing their new menu I understand why. While the food itself was of good quality, the portions were meagre and the preparation was dubious. The service was inexcusably slow, with the Maitre'd doubling as our waiter. I suspect this was the result of holiday season but it would have been better to have shut down than to provide people with such an inferiour experience."

"Unfortunately, they changed their menu to small "tapas" plates, which clearly feels like a desperation move and not one based on good cuisine. Not a a good food experience at all. It's too bad because it is such a nice place to hang out...but I will not return unless they revert back to their entree menu."
