   It was an average to good experience. Everyone was very friendly and our food was good. However, they may have been understaffed due to the holiday weekend. Took a long time for drinks and for our waiter to take our orders. The gentleman that I believe was the manager did step up and help when need which was wonderful to see. The biggest reason for the lower rating was the fact that our waiter brought over the check and never asked if we wanted dessert or anything else. Felt as if we were being pushed out.

   Wanted to take my wife out for a date night, never patronized this restaurant but found that it was open on a Sunday. Once arrived we were automatically greeted at the door by who we found out to be the owner, once seated we looked over the menu which had some amazing selections but not too much where it would be overwhelming. The food was good, I had the lamb and an appetizer, my wife decided on the French onion soup that she raved about! Our server was amazing as well! He knew the menu and was very transparent about the dishes, unlike some place that will lie and say everything is great. We enjoyed ourselves and will for sure continue to patronize.

   Server was wonderful but I got the steak and the food was bland at best. Owner greeted the 3 tables around us but completely passed us as we tried to wave him down for desert menus. It wasn’t loud so we weren’t sure how he didn’t hear us but it may have not been on purpose. Desert was very good and the sides of the steak were very good as well but we most likely won’t be back. This very well could’ve been a one off experience so I urge you to give it a chance still because there are other items on the menu that could potentially be great, I just didn’t try them.

   My wife and I went for dinner before a show. Reservations were easy, we valet parked (and the hotel was very busy, but the valets were on their game) we were welcomed when we walked in, seated where we could hear the piano player. Food was excellent,,I had the Buccatini and Clams my wife had shrimp and grits and we split the Harvest salad. Everything was great.

   What a beautiful restaurant. The menu, wine and crafted cocktail list was perfectly chosen and price balanced with many options. The hard boiled eggs appetizer and shrimp cocktail was delish! We were greeted by the owner who checked on us a couple times. Very attentive and much appreciated. We saw they had live piano music on weekends. We will definitely return! Don’t forget to look at all the cool black-and-white murals of old Buffalo outside of the entrance! Cheers to continued success!

   It was a slow night on Easter Eve so we had focused service which was great. Dan was our server and he was excellent - gave great recommendations for food and drinks and everything was very good. We will be back for sure!

   The customer service was impressive! Best customer service I’ve had in a while ! The food itself was cooked well but very bland. Ambiance and vibe was top tier as well!

   Our server was great. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Food was good, but slightly over cooked. Plan on going back for their Thurs lobster special. It looked amazing. Easy walk to Sheas for a show.

    Very enjoyable meal for birthday celebration. Nice, relaxing mood, not rushed to order. Great bar and cocktails too. Friendly wait staff, who knew the menu well. Will definitely return!
