The owner and his daughter were both there while we were visiting, and they truly couldn't have been nicer. (Shout out to Jen behind the bar!). They made the whole experience feel warm and personal.

I have made two trips recently. This is comfort food at its finest - large portions of Italian American food that keeps regulars coming back year after year. One of my former students works there and she swears those regulars are the ones keeping this place full. Go at some RANDOM time like 4 pm on a Tuesday and the restaurant is packed. God forbid you attempt a no-reservation lunch on Sunday. This is my new go-to restaurant the night before kayaking or hiking. The vegan sauce is where it's at: goes well on everything. I also love their broccoli pasta.

I brought my family to Lebros the other night to celebrate my wife's birthday. It had been a few…read moreyears since our last visit, and I walked in with apparently too-high expectations. The night landed somewhere in the middle, throughout the evening. Everything was good, but not memorable. There are no photos with this review, and that's kind of the point. Everything looked beautiful and tasted adequate. Everything on my camera was way more special than the food was... so photos were deleted, so to not be misleading. The thing I remembered most from years ago was leaving with delicious leftovers I was excited to eat for lunch the next day. The portions used to be offensively large in the best way. This time there was almost nothing to take home. I ordered the meatball sandwich, which turned out to be one tiny meatball cut in half. The red sauce and cheese were good, the bread was good. But seriously, I had to look to see if there was actually a meatball in the bread. The taste was fine... but it tasted more like bread than sauce or meatball. The spaghetti that came with it? There used to be crazy amounts of spaghetti with a meal. It was worth the price of admission all by itself! My side of pasta that came with the meal was fine. If I was at Olive Garden, it would have been a lovely side.... Our waiter kept calling it "award-winning meat sauce," and the flavor really was good... but nothing I couldn't make at home for a fraction of the price. I don't know who handed out that award, or when it was received? It was good, but I wouldn't give it any awards! I enjoyed the plate well enough. Dessert was the low point. My $15 chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting was tall, thin, and the cake was stale, and the "peanut butter" frosting was basically brown buttercream. Two days later, half remains in the refrigerator because... meh. I could have done better at Tops take out. When we walked in on a Saturday night, the place was empty, and it took them 45+ minutes to serve dinner!!!! When I got the $215 bill (before tip), I better understood why Lebros is a forgotten relic of days gone by. The food was genuinely good, but at this price, I should be walking out speechless at the taste! Half the price, with more generous portions, and I'd have left very contented. One more note: I mentioned to a server that it was my wife's birthday. They said they do things for birthdays, and then no one so much as wished her a happy birthday as they walked past us. I wasn't looking for a freebie or a song, just a little acknowledgment would have been nice. That small miss captured the evening: perfectly pleasant, perfectly ordinary. Three stars, I'd probably go back if my wife wants... but I miss Lebros before they upgraded their bar. Glad I helped them with their next mortgage payment.

They even check your coat for you and offer to grab you a drink at the bar while you get settled very accommodating and a great first impression. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the experience. Since living in Buffalo over the past year, I've noticed a recurring issue with restaurants not seasoning their food, and this was no exception. Everything we ordered lacked flavor. My cousin and father-in-law ordered the "quote on quote" special of the day the lasagna and I ordered the tartare. We planned on sharing everything, but honestly, I couldn't even tell you if the meal was good or bad because it barely tasted like anything. It was just food on a plate. The lasagna was especially disappointing. It seemed like ground turkey sitting at the bottom, with little to no sauce, and the meat itself wasn't seasoned. As for the tartare, the chips that came with it were more flavorful than the dish itself, which says a lot. To make matters worse, there wasn't even salt or pepper on the table something the meal desperately needed. With a couple of drinks, the total came out to around $300, which is hard to justify given the lack of flavor. Great atmosphere, but definitely not worth the price for the food we received.
