    I have been going to Hutch's for 20 years, and the food is always excellent. I typically get the steak--personally I think it's one of the best steaks in Buffalo. Last week, I tried the salmon from their seasonal menu, by recommendation of our server, and it was phenomenal. Their homemade bread is fantastic. And for dessert, the cookie cup is one of my favorites in Buffalo. The restaurant has expanded quite a bit in size, but the level of service and quality is still consistently high.

    My husband and I received a gift certificate here as a wedding present and we were absolutely in love. The service was 10/10 from checking in with the host, throughout the dinner, until we ended with dessert. The space is nicely decorated and has medium to low lighting with great music playing. We jammed all night to classic hits. We ordered Clams Casino, Half rack of ribs, the Seafood Jambalaya Pasta, Crispy Softshell Crab, the Blueberry Crisp, and the Crème Brûlée. Every dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection with the most amazing flavors and quality ingredients. Some items were seasonal but the entire menu is intriguing. We'll definitely be back for more for the delicious food and romantic vibes. 5 stars!

    Hutch's continues to deliver--this was my third visit in three months. We started with the ceviche and soft shell crab appetizers--both fresh and full of flavor. For our mains, the Portuguese fish stew was rich and comforting, while the jambalaya pasta packed just the right amount of heat and depth. We finished with the crème brûlée and blueberry crisp, both beautifully executed and satisfying. Service began strong--attentive and friendly--but noticeably tapered off after our entrees were served. (It felt like the four-top next to us took priority for the rest of the evening.) Still, the overall experience was excellent, and I'm looking forward to my next visit. TL, DR: It's delicious! Just go!i

    Bison steak

    I came here for the first time for my 1 year anniversary with my husband & it was a great choice since we both love meat and seafood. Menu is very straightforward & I love how it includes the origin of where the food came from. Our server was amazing, enthusiastic & helpful as he gave us wonderful recommendations for us first timers. We decided on calamari, bison steak & the steak and frites. We both agreed that hutches was the best steak we ever had ever! Everything was cooked to perfection & left your mouth with an explosion of flavors. Trying the bison meat for the first time was a great choice as the meat was so tender and lean. We truly had an amazing time & we would most definitely come back again!

    How could you not enjoy a place with different bread offerings? Service was top tier. Ambiance was wonderful. Parking was interesting in the narrow entry way to the lot. Surprising amount of parking hidden away. My only ehh was my meal. I ordered the chicken Milanese (I know it's a steakhouse) and it was plan and needed some balsamic or something on top. So much arugula as well. Definitely a place I'd return to try something new.

    We sat right next to the ramp to outside. I'm right handed and the glass was to my right, so I kept hitting it with my elbow. We tried to move the table a bit away but then it was wobbly. I don't remember the servers name, but she was good, I think I would have liked her to be slightly more attentive though. Tomato & Fresh Mozzarella Salad 10/10 Super fresh and delicious. All ingredients paired well with each other. Traditional Steak Tartare 10/10 Very flavorful and good seasoning. Steak was tender. I thought the bread was too hard and crunchy. Bison strip (daily special) 9/10 Medium. Cooked perfectly. Seasoned with salt and pepper. It was very good, I just wish it had more flavor like finished in butter and rosemary or something. Steak frites 8/10 Medium rare. Was slightly over cooked. A little closer to medium. Seasoned with salt and pepper, flavor on the steak was good. Truffle butter was delicious and the truffle flavor was great. Fries were overcooked, garlic aioli tasted good though. Double chocolate brownie sundae 10/10 Brownie was delicious, melty and gooey inside. Ice cream was vanilla bean. Tasted homemade. Delicious flavor.

    Monkfish special
    Megan G.

    Hutch's is a solid spot and has become a staple visit whenever I'm in town. I focused mostly on the specials during my visit, and while some dishes were excellent, others were just okay. The escargot was great, served in a delicious buttery garlic sauce with bread for dipping. Their ribs (not pictured) are also good--great sauce and a nice char. The special monkfish, served osso buco style with shrimp and rice, was solid but didn't quite wow me. The real star was the seasonal sautéed soft shell crab. It came with rice, veggies, and an incredible white wine/buttery sauce. I returned specifically to have it again, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the first experience--the crabs were a bit anemic, the sauce lacked the bright citrus notes, and they served a smaller portion of it this time around. Service was attentive, especially by the bussers, but the wait staff service can be inconsistent. Some waiters were on point, while others seemed either too busy or less engaged to deliver the same level of service. In terms of ambiance, the move is to come here early to enjoy a nice romantic evening out. It can get quite busy and frankly loud, especially in the bar area, when you come during peak hours. Hutch's has the potential to be an exceptional dining destination, but the inconsistent food and service, along with the loud ambiance during my visits knocks it down to 4 stars IMO. I'd still recommend it, especially for those signature dishes, but there's room for improvement to make it a truly standout experience.

    Hutch's for the win as always! Went there on a Tuesday evening to celebrate a birthday. The service is exceptional, lot of attention to detail. We sat in the bar room, which was a nice cozy experience, but maybe a bit loud. The food was excellent, from the bread basket or our entrees and appetizers. I've never had a bad time at hutch's so I am glad to have gone back and will most definitely be returning.

    We had dinner reservations, upon arrival we were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is a lot bigger since last time mi was here was years ago! Really nice tho. Overall ambiance was okay. A little loud as the restaurant got crowded. Our server came over, provided us the specials of the day. Gave her recommendations. Spaced out apps to entrees. Everything was delicious including our Oregon Pinot Noir. We started with oysters, had the sliced bacon which has a caramlized flavor, really good. The tomato and mozzarella salad with prosciutto was delicious. For dinner we had the strip steak and jambalaya pasta. Both were excellent. Was a little nervous coming to visit with the most recent unfavorable reviews but we had a great visit. S

    Went here for my birthday dinner on a coworker's recommendation. The space is very nice, the space between the tables are a little tight though. The place filled up quick on a Thursday night so definitely make a reservation ahead of time! Our server was very nice, attentive and informative about the specials for the night. We actually ended up going with his recommendations for the appetizers. The drinks and the food were all delicious and I would definitely order everything again! The portions were all really big. My one critique would be that the shishito peppers needed more salt or it needed to be salted a bit more evenly. My husband was getting full but I convinced him to split a dessert and he was glad he did. The sticky toffee pudding with the vanilla gelato was a great way to end our dinner.

    Are reservations required?

    On the weekends most definitely you will need a reservation. You can try to swing by during the week without a reservation, but this time of year tends to be very busy.

    Has the table spacing changed at all since COVID?

    Would nice golf shorts and a polo or long sleeve button down be appropriate dinner attire for a hot summer night?

    I think that would be fine, especially on a weeknight. People tend to be a bit less dressy on weeknights too.

    Where did you park?

    There's a small lot behind the building (tight squeeze to get back there) or park on the street

The restaurant was quite busy, getting busier as we enjoyed our dinners. I am glad we had an early reservation. I might have missed this note on the menu or website, but there is a credit card usage surcharge. Luckily some of our party had enough cash. The guitar music was lovely, but our table was too close and conversation was a little difficult.

I was told those are only available during brunch -- totally fine, I get that certain specials have set times. However, I then tried to order the martini flight that was listed on the drink menu and was told that was seasonal and no longer available. That was a bit confusing, especially since it hadn't been removed. I also wasn't offered any alternative flavors or suggestions, which felt like a missed opportunity. I ended up ordering their standard espresso martini -- which they seem to pride themselves on -- but unfortunately it tasted burnt. It also appeared that the espresso isn't made fresh, as there was a bottle of espresso sitting on the bar. For a cocktail that really depends on quality espresso, that was disappointing. However my friend did try another cocktail off their drink menu and it was delicious. To finish our visit, I waited about 10 minutes just to get my check while the bartender was engaged in conversation with other bartenders. It made the experience feel inattentive and frustrating. The space itself has a cool vibe, but overall the experience fell short of expectations. I'd love to see more consistency between the menu, social media, and what's actually available, fresher preparation for a cocktail they promote so heavily, and more attentiveness at the bar.

    I'll start off by saying that service was superb. Hailey, the bartender/server, was very sweet…read moreand attentive. The reason for the poor rating was the food. Bao buns: My mom ordered these because they were labeled GF, but she definitely should have mentioned that she has an intolerance to gluten, because the add on of "salt & pepper shrimp" is not GF (not indicated on menu). The shrimp had a crispy flour coating. Also the buns were much smaller than anticipated, so this appetizer does not work for a filling meal. Falley burger: Description sounded fantastic with the homemade chip dip and salt & pepper chips, but unfortunately both lacked in flavor. I honestly couldn't taste either and the chips were more of greasy potato slices. I'm not much of a pickle fan, but I'm glad they were on the burger to give it some taste. On a good note, there were plenty of fries. It was sad to see this place dead on a Thursday evening. We were the only ones dining in, had a few take-outs come through. They do have food/drink specials throughout the week and the cocktail drink menu looks fun. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things or perhaps it was an off-day in the kitchen.

I overlooked all of that because they use whole foods and the taste was decent. Fast forward to 2025, I've included a photo of a turkey burgundy sandwich with a small bag of Lay's (weird choice, but ok) and a pickle spear, which costs $17.25 before you even add tax or tip.

If you can't sell your original menu at reasonable prices anymore, then you need to adjust it. We won't be back.

The croutons were honestly my favorite part, super seasoned and actually had flavor.

The portions are HUGE, like you're definitely not leaving hungry. She said hers didn't have much flavor even after adding salt and pepper and was already planning how she was going to fix it at home. My chicken was a little burnt so it was dry and kind of messed with the flavor, but the pasta itself was good. I loved that they added a little bread to soak up the sauce. The huge portions made up for the bland flavors. Not even gonna lie, a few bites in my stomach said "absolutely not" which is no fault of theirs, 100% on me for going all in on dairy, so my friend ended up taking both meals home. Overall I'd recommend it if you like a bar vibe, big portions, and solid food. 8.3/10
