William is an exceptional maître d’. Very attentive and professional. The steak was phenomenal and seasoned perfectly. The salmon was also exceptional. Great ambience! We enjoyed meeting the owner who is from Buffalo, New York; thus, the name. We cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, the service and food.
