The place was full though. Atmosphere is very nice, we may have been a touch underdressed for the occasion, or others simply felt like being a bit fancier tonight. The staff was friendly and hustling but it seemed to just be one waitress and the hostess taking care of all 10 or so tables. I guess that actually isn't horrible. I started with the soup of the day. Beef of weck. It was INCREDIBLE. I'd take home a gallon of it it if I could. Creamy. Nice and warm on a cold night. The weck croutons were the cherry on top. Then for my dinner I had the beef on weck panino. The waitress recommended it. Perfectly toasted. Served with au jus and horseradish aioli. So delicious. I'd get it again and again. Also came with homemade chips and a pickle. My husband got the classic beef of weck. It was really tender. Cooked perfectly. The horseradish was strong. Just the way he likes it. He said he would definitely order it again, but it didn't crack the top 3 of beef joints in WNY.

Excellent service!…read more From the moment we walked in we were greeted and welcomed heartily. We were the only customers and literally had this place to ourselves the entire time. Made for a 5 star private dining type experience that although I appreciated, I couldn't quite understand as the food was magnificent. If you're looking for a great meal that won't leave you heavy and weighed down, this is it! I had the lasagna because I was told by the chef and the friendly waiter that it was fresh hand made pasta and didn't use ricotta cheese. A total winner for me (not a ricotta fan). It was delicious! Melted in my mouth. Buttery, velvet-like texture to the pasta makingit delightfully delicate. Nice balance of sauce and cheese. Meats had a great flavor. I didn't like I had to order a full appetizer size salad because they didnt offer side salads, but the salad was good as well. My birthday guest ordered the NY Strip steak of which I took a taste. It was FULL of flavor and cooked as ordered. Tender and everything you'd hope for in a steak entree. The mashed potatoes were another story. Lacked flavor and I don't care for the chunky mashed potatoes. I like my mashed thick, but creamy, buttery, and seasoned. I do not recommend them. This review is a 5 due to service and both main's being excellent. The chef honored the birthday boy with a complimentary homemade tiramasu that was airy, slightly sweet, great textures of crunch on top, moose in the middle, and spongyness on bottom. The fruit as garnish paired well, but as we shared the slice it made me wonder "if this is REAL, fresh made tiramasu, I have no idea what "tiramasu" I've been eating all these years." So good! I had no idea why this place was empty at 3pm on a Saturday, but my guess is they are new. Once the word is out I'm sure business will pick up. At least I hope, because I'd love to bring my son back to try so he can compare to his culinary experience in Italy. The restaurant itself was very clean...including the bathroom. My daiare wasn't fond of the hard wooden chairs. The ambiance is more bright, sophisticated modern than dark, tavern-esque as the name may suggest. Check them out and tell Chef Stephen I sent you

Arrived just after 6 pm and was asked about reservations despite a thin crowd. We were seated on…read morethe patio and after several minutes, served water by a staff member who admitted he was not our server for the evening. Christopher arrived, shared a very loud video to attempt to entice us to order the specials; however, several were not available. We had browsed the menu ahead of time and had our choices in mind. We also advised we were hoping to make the show at Revolver Records, if that wasn't too much of an issue for the kitchen staff. My companion ordered the salmon, broccoli, and rice while I ordered the smoked salmon tagliatelle. My companion was pleased with her entree even though her rice was a ridiculous amount of chunky skin-on potatoes and she was not informed that there was a menu change, while I was disappointed at the lack of salmon in the dish. A cute rosette on top with a few flakes scattered throughout does not make for a salmon dish. Christopher was friendly and helped my companion with a replacement napkin (from the waist band of his apron) when hers blew off her lap and onto the sidewalk. Finally, we waited quite some time for the bill, then for the bill to be processed. The reatrooms are gender neutral and adequately lit and stocked; however, patrons are required to climb a set of stairs to reach the restrooms. Other patrons that we conversed with during our meal were still on the patio when we left the jazz show next door and when we asked how dessert was, that we mught be coming back from "round two", they said not to bother because most of the desserts were out of stock. Convenient for our plans but sadly nothing special to write home about. If I were to return, I'd ask for the salmon & broccoli entree and confirm the starch was lemon rice per the menu.

Prime rib, pasta dishes and seafood dishes are always enjoyed. The French onion soup is great. Sometimes they do pop-up donut sales and those are amazing. Would love to see some soon!

There's two dining areas, I can only speak of one side to the left of the main doors. This side was decent size and had decent spacing of the tables. The service is excellent, but as many mentioned it is a bit slow. But for me, it was ok because you're not rushed at all during your stay. As for the food, I was throughly pleased on every entree I had. I would say though, I would've loved if they had a cocktails menu. I was surprised to see only wines and beer are offered here. But even still, that wouldn't deter me from coming back and becoming a regular. FILETTO AL CARBONE | $55.00 Grilled 8 oz.

Took a look at the menu, and canceled our reservation at the previous place. We were promptly seated outside by a kind woman named Olivia. The sun being too hard and having forgotten my sunnies, I was wondering if I should sit inside. Olivia immediately suggested we get an umbrella. It made so much sense as we wanted to eat out in the Sunshine and the cool winds. We ordered the Giambatto, the Lemon Pancakes, the Italian Eggs Benedict and the Chicken Milanese. Yes, we were hungry and the menu was so tempting!!!! The food matched the tall order. Everything looked incredibly delicious; the portion sizes were great, the service impeccable and I will treasure the experience for a long long time. The Eggs Benedict deserve a special mention- I would come back for it again. It was unique and tasted like heaven! The Giambatto was nice-a very heavy omelette that we ate the next day for breakfast. The Chicken Milanese is a chef's kiss. And that pasta with the tomato sauce!! It felt like a nonna's hug! The Lemon Pancakes were beautiful but I think we were too full to enjoy everything!!!!!!! During our meal, we asked for coffee, but unfortunately they didn't have oatmilk. The coffee came with cream and a side of Almond Biscotti that tasted like a dream . We were celebrating a special day- me and my husband, and I was treating him that afternoon.

Indoor was very much reminiscent of a typical bar area on one side and then regular table seating on the other side. The day we went the weather was warm enough for their big doors to open up on to the patio seating out front. The bread and butter they served was delicious and we appreciated being able to try different breads. The shrimp and grits were delicious and they use really big sumptuous shrimp. I actually got pretty filled up and couldn't finish my seafood stew so ended up bringing half of it home. So portion sizes here are definitely big and everything tasted fresh! Their seafood stew is very generous with the seafood and the bread for dipping was delicious as well. Will definitely be adding this to our rotation here in Buffalo!

I can't wait for September, the next Moules Fest. PS. We had a little surprise when we got the check. There is a $10 credit card fee. I didn't see that on the menu nor on the website. Good thing we had enough cash. I have no problem with this fee but I suggest better communication. PPS. There was a guitar player, which was nice.
