The staff was very welcoming especially considering that my OpenTable reservation somehow never reached them. They seated me and my guests anyway even with a large Mother's Day crowd. Our waitress was very attentive in spite of the fact that there were so many people there for Mother's Day brunch. The food choices were numerous & delicious. Great place to eat

The food and service was good. We went for Mother's Day and the some food items were not replenished very often if at all. The presentation of the pudding cups was haphazard causing some inappropriate comments.

The Protocol is one of those quiet gem of Buffalo. First, the seafood is absolutely first rate. The Oysters are the best! The Horseradish Crusted Salmon is by far the most amazing dish. Wine Inventory is excellent and the staff are well trained. Makes for an incredible dining experience.

I was disappointed as we were treated with attitude that we were late. Our reservations were at 10:15 and it was mentioned it was at 10 am. Buffet style was fine. Food was good. Service was great.

My wife & I were celebrating her birthday and it couldn't have been a better evening. Wonderful service & drinks at the bar to start off, then Paul gave a nice table where we were able to converse in private. Food was outstanding as was the service, especially when Paul surprised my wife with a candle lit cupcake for her birthday. Everything was superb and more affordable than I expected. Thank you Paul for a memorable evening.
