Party in North Buffalo!…read more Compact - Party space for up to 100-150 or so. North Buffalo, near Delaware Park and the Zoo, good catering, great, open, easy-to-use space. Street parking. Expanded - Next to the FLW Darwin Martin House is the Greatbatch Pavilion. This large open space has various pieces of historical info about the Darwin Martin House, but it also provides a venue for a cocktail party (up to 150), a formal sit down dinner (up to 100) or a lecture space. I like this space because it is long, open and has unobstructed views throughout. You can really see what is happening from anywhere in the space. You will overlook the Darwin Martin House from this (mostly windows) space. Its an unobstructed view. Gorgeous day or night. The restrooms are modern and functional. There is a space for coatracks, or you can have a coat check. I'm not sure if there is a choice of caterers, but the food I have had at a few events has been good. The service professional and unobtrusive. Its available 7 days a week for rentals. While they don't do weddings or wedding receptions here, they are open for anything else, including the rehearsal dinner. It unique and beautiful. You can decorate to make it "your own" too. Street parking. 10/2015

The thing I loved the most is the virtual tour that you can choose instead of a physical walk. What you see on that screen is EXACTLY what is in that building. The room was spacious.

I highly recommend this center, and look forward to doing more business with these ladies.

I have heard there was a restaurant near Hoyt Lake/Albright Knox, and we finally came to it today…read more We had a 7:30pm dinner reservation, and it was quite busy. Parking was nearly impossible to find. After driving back and forth a few times, we finally saw a sign stating "free" valet parking for Marcy Casino, and luckily for us, we made it just in time to take the last available spot for valet. After parking, we walked to the restaurant, and found a line. After a few minutes, we were able to get to the front of the line, and informed them we had a reservation (so we were seated immediately). We requested to sit outside, but reservations are only for indoor seating, and there were no patio tables available at that moment. Our table ordered a variety of items: steak frites, shrimp, ahi poke, and clams. Everything we ordered was very good. My steak was cooked to perfection and came with a side of fries and arugula salad. The shrimp was flavorful and reminded me somewhat of a shrimp ceviche. The ahi tuna poke had seaweed salad in it and was very tasty, and the steamed clams dipped in real butter are always good to me. In all, the dishes were surprisingly delicious, and much better than I had expected. Would I recommend coming here? Absolutely yes! The food is very good and the ambiance is beautiful. However, I would highly recommend using valet for parking or Uber, and also make reservations in advance because it gets very busy here and that will make your visit much smoother.

Yesterday evening, I was looking forward to spending a lovely time with family while enjoying a…read morebeautiful dinner at The Terrace, part of the Marcy Casino complex. In attempting to do this, I was breaking with tradition, as I routinely gather with family and friends at the Curtiss Hotel or The Richardson Hotel, ...being accustomed to their consistently phenomenal customer service. You can hardly imagine my disappointment and embarrassment with the treatment my guests and I received from the host/receptionist at The Terrace. From the moment we entered the venue, we were dismissed as vagabonds, even though we were elegantly dressed. My family, and I, accomplished purveyors of the arts, haute cuisine, and world travelers, had found ourselves brutally insulted and our value as guests to the venue, diminished by the arrogance and classless attitude presented when we requested to be seated for dinner. By the way, the place was nowhere near capacity in reference to already seated guests... in fact, it was pretty empty. We were told it was requisite that we needed to make on-line reservations in order to be seated and served at a table... no exceptions! An empathetic waiter and waitress, overhearing our predicament, tried coming to our rescue and suggested we may consider being seated at the bar. We were told the menu was the same whether we were at the bar or a table. When this waiter and waitress kindly tried to accommodate us with the suggestion to consider sitting at the bar, the host met their eyes with a glance of total defiance. We were so uncomfortable at the prospect of continuing to manage sitting at the bar, with only one table available for four people, coupled with that the discernible feeling of not being wanted at the venue overcame us. So, we proceeded to default to one of our usual venues, where class, accommodation and elegance always reigns, that being the Richardson. We will never risk giving that host at the Terrace the opportunity to show such disrespect to us again! I hope this review has others considering an alternate establishment that maintains the dignity of their visitors rather than disrespecting and disregarding it!

Banquet setting is very nice, service great, food delicious. I attended the 59th annual dinner of…read morethe WNY Peace Center in Buffalo, NY at The Foundry Suites tonight 10/3/26. I found The Foundry to be a charming, iconic landmark, celebrating a part of Buffalo's heritage. The Foundry, once a manufacturing plant, built in the early 1900s, for railroad signals. It has been refurbished. Now, it's a chic, modern industrial style hotel and banquet venue in WNY. I really liked the old brick fused with modern string lights and light fixtures/ chandeliers to create a warm vibe. Our servers were working hard and handled everything smoothly. Our dinners were very tasty. The set up for appetizers and gift raffle baskets were in the other larger room. Cash bar for alcoholic drinks. Plenty of space for guests to mingle and walk around. Some guests stepped outside in the lovely central courtyard. Quite surprisingly, there was a nice fire started to sit around in the courtyard into the evening. Most guests were eating the chicken piccata dinner. It was prepared well. Vegetarian offering looked great too, a stuffed squash. This review is strictly for the banquet facility, not the hotel. I did not see nor stay overnight in the hotel. There's plenty of free parking in their lot. Separate bathroom facilities for males and females. Easy to find on Elmwood Avenue near Hertel. Check it out for your get together.

The food was good.However, they did not replenish the food quickly at all and seemed a bit out of sorts. I had a romaine leaf in a champagne flute with some very good Caesar dressing for a salad. A Nice beef carving station. Pasta that I could not eat as it wasnt gluten free but they did have things marked very nicely.Gluten free which I really appreciate. There is no potato or vegetable offering. So I just had a lettuce leaf and 2 thin slices of beef (ebough for a slider sammie), a small scoop of goat cheese topped with some beets which was super yummy but no crackers or anything with it. Andd could not eat the dessert. The bartenders were super nice and took very good care of us. I would say go and try it and ask about where to park if u plan on a med sized event. And make sure there is enough food and ask about dietary restrictions.

We were able to check in early and both woman at the concierge desk were friendly and informative. Room was spacious and clean. Just a short drive/ walk to many restaurants and bars and Buff State Campus. I think this is such a cool place with lots of history. One downside for us on this particular stay is the Bar is closed currently as they resold to a different company and there was no information on when it will be reopening so keep in mind if you are planning on staying there anytime in the fall of 2025. You will have to make a short drive to other spots in town! Overall, pleasant stay and would definitely return if we are in the area again.

This hotel was so cool! The Richardson hotel used to be an insane asylum that sat empty for at…read moreleast 40 years before being renovated. The first floor is dedicated to the history of the asylum, propaganda about how the asylum treated people better than other asylums did at the time (but I don't believe that at all) and details about what it took to renovate the space to become a hotel. The asylum is but one building in a cluster of at least 10 hospital buildings. All of the rest of them are still abandoned and in disrepair. In terms of walkability to anything nearby and blight immediately surrounding the hotel, it's not the best location. But the architecture and style was so cool to explore late at night when everybody else in the hotel was fast asleep. And yes, this place is pretty pricey to stay at but somehow the day that I checked prices, it was only $118 per night. There are not really many amenities... Rooms don't have a microwave or a fridge, even though the king room we were in had ample space to accommodate both. They also don't have a pool. And although we slept in through breakfast, I've read reviews that it's pretty lackluster. Definitely not a place I would spend $250+ a night to stay in. But if I could find it for less than $150 in the future, I l'd definitely stay there again!
