Went here for dinner for six. Reservations were a breeze. The aesthetic and decor of the building are very nice. It's cozy but the high ceilings make it feel like a bigger space. Plenty of parking in lot and on street. Seems like a fun place to have a drink at bar on a Polish music night. Special of the night was a lemon chicken. Tried that with a chicken parm and various pastas. Everything was cooked perfect. Chicken was crispy on outside and juicy on inside. It was good, just lacked that enhanced flavor. Can't pinpoint the note but needed more. One of party had the farmers cheese Peroigi which they liked. Bread and salad were average. Tried a limoncello and regular cannoli for dessert which were also average. Was happy with meal but I wouldn't need to seek this place out. I would say that you can tell everything was house made and was way less greasier than some Italian, which is a big plus. read more

Unique place, delicious food. Authentic Italian and authentic Polish food under one roof. Very busy when we arrived (shortly after 6pm, Thursday) we got lucky without a reservation, but were asked twice if we had one. Building is a former church built in 1876, so much to look at! I took too many pictures, Yelp would only let me share 20. read more

A sense of 'WOW' as you enter this classic church building that has been standing since the mid-1800's! This is a must dining experience with a decor bringing back fond memories of TGIF's chain's decorative focus (They even have a mini school bus on the wall ). I think may have attended a church function here once upon a time. The wait staff provided a warm friendly greeting but it was hard to not notice the loud group of people standing around in one section of the restaurant intruding into the space where some were dining (A polite suggestion by staff to go up to the bar for conversation or a please return to your table might have been fitting.). I kept looking in their direction because they were loud. Ok, back to the menu. Half Polish and half Italian and locally sourced food. All pluses!! Service was great and the decision get perogies but go "Italian" for the entree. Since everyone loves the perogies why isn't there an entree featuring them on the Polish side of the menu (You can add a side order to one entree but come on put them on the main dinner plate.)? When I have perogies at home it's with the meal not before it. Ok, the noise to my right is continuing ... but a truly fantastic side salad is delivered to the table (Side salad and bread come with the entree.). The greens are mixed and crisp and cool. The dressing is perfectly mixed and really tasty. The 'small" chunk of bread is fresh with a unique flavor and is accompanied by some tasty honey butter and an oil blend. Now to the entree, "Fish Milanese." 'Fish Milanese' is "a dish of thin fish filets coated with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs and then pan fried till crispy." The haddock at Morluski's that was the fish for their "Fish Milanese" didn't taste like haddock and it was clearly not breaded nor really crispy although it did stick to the serving platter. Not quite sure how to describe the taste of the unbreaded fish but it wasn't what I had anticipated. Now, I have to say that the presentation of their "Fish Milanese" was pretty darn awesome. The arugula, goat cheese, and cranberries made for a beautiful looking salad atop the haddock. And, the salad portion of the entree was really enjoyable to eat. Now, the classic "Fish Milanese" is served with sauce and vegetables but this variation had potential if the fish just was prepared differently. As I finished my meal I kept thinking what a really good meal it would have been if I they offered a Polish style protein with their pirogies. I did order the pirogi appetizer (1 of each) and thoroughly enjoyed them. The desserts looked really awesome but we were full. The wait staff were friendly and laughed along with us. This is a place to bring out of town friends because the venue is beautiful! Our waitress suggested perhaps staring with a dessert and then eating your meal because you could take the leftovers home for a good lunch the next day. Get the pirogies! Perhaps stick to the Polish side of the menu but as for my choice of the evening ... I would never get it again. read more

The place is very unique. The food, mediocre at best. Their antipasto is a joke. The menu said marinated veggies, cheese, asst Italian meats. It was more a bad charcuterie. Marinated veggies were 2 pepperoncini's. Cheese was only cheese curds. If you're a "Polish" place, u should be making house made sausage. But they're not. The Margarita was AWFUL. They only had table salt and I was just nasty lime juice. Too much money for bad drinks and food. And they should keep their political preferences off the wall. We won't be going back. read more

These were some of the best potato pancakes i've had in my entire life. Pickle soup, pierogi, krupnik. Everything was awesome. No reservations so had to sit at the bar, was happy that the christmas decorations were still up late into the year, really added to the polish tackiness. Great spot would come back. read more

A locally owned establishment that specializes in Polish and Italian fare. We first visited when they were located in Attica Ny. Now they are well established in Clarence NY in a renovated church that adds to the atmosphere. Being of Polish descent, it was that which initially brought me In. While it is decent, it really is the Italian that brings me back. Their gnocchi is just fantastic. They offer a wonderful family style salad at the beginning of the course and some amazing homemade bread. Great whine and cocktail selections. Highly recommend reservations, especially in the colder months when the patio is closed. read more

In my opinion this is a outstanding restaurant. The decor was so nice The flamingos were a nice touch You have two choices in this restaurant polish or Italian cuisine I tried the Polish and it was just superior. Started with a tossed salad with house dressing pork chop, fried vegetables, applesauce sauerkraut and a cabbage roll Our server. Sam was outstanding. She explained the menu and had the patience with a few questions I asked. I would definitely go back again read more

Made a reservation for 2 @ 6 PM and left at 6:15 after watching other tables get service. Not even a water or an acknowledgment. Say you're busy and will be right over. Probably won't be back. My poor Mom who has mobility issues walked a nice distance to and from the lot too. Not like you couldn't see us being sat. Oh and we drove 30 minutes for this disappointment. read more

My wife and I had dinner here for the first time a couple weeks ago to celebrate our third anniversary and we absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and our service was great. We really loved the piano player, who was playing anything from Elton John to Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin. We loved the rustic feel of the restaurant as well and we will definitely come back again! read more

This is probably the neatest venue in western New York. Beautifully decorated old church. The food I wasn't crazy about. I ordered the wedding soup which wasn't very good. The salad is served family style and was very good. The bread ,which is served with the dinner, is nothing special. We both ordered the Polish Platter. The smoked sausage was very good. The potato pancake was strange and real thin. The Sauerkraut wasn't served Luke warm and also not very good. One side of the menu was Italian food and the other Polish food. I agree with another Yelper that a young busboy kept circling the restaurant about every 5 minutes and was a little strange. We never saw him pick up any dishes. Service was slow as the waitresses were doing a lot of standing and talking at the bar. I'd give the surroundings 5++++++++ and the food a 2. read more

This place landed on my radar thanks to random yelp searches, and while we hadn't planned to stop here, we ended up here and it was a really lovely time. For more than half the meal, we were the only ones in the loft area, which is super quaint and quite romantic. The setting is so fun and unique. The waitress we had said she just started a couple weeks prior, but she was lovely and attentive. You could tell she enjoyed the atmosphere there, and it was contagious. It was my first time eating pierogis and as far as I could tell, they were good, but a bit dense. I'm not sure how they are supposed to be, though. The taste fell a bit flat, but I still enjoyed them. I got the gnocchi with red sauce, and they were pillowy. It felt like they vanished in my mouth, also known as I devoured them. I'd love to come back and try more, especially some dessert. Definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

Went on a Friday night, we made a reservation and were seated right away. A few of us ordered from the Polish Menu others ordered from the Italian. The pierogi were the most authentic we've had in the area, Babcia approved. We got the farmers cheese. Most places have pierogi that are too doughy and tough, almost tasting like Mrs. t's ( there's no such thing as bad pierogi but there are better ones). These were soft and thinner an almost silky dough which is what my Polish family looks for, for good authentic pierogi. The stuffed cabbage rolls were delicious and they served salad and bread with all meals. These portion sizes weren't over the top which was a nice change, however you won't be leaving hungry. The dill pickle soup was a favorite of the night. Great atmosphere and staff. Will be back, check it out yourself! read more

What a fun and cheery place! I would go back simply to sit in this beautiful building. One side of their menu is Italian food and the other side is Polish food. The salad and bread they bring family style for the table was so delicious. Pickled red onions and a delicious dressing made that salad a great start. The pierogis come three in an appetizer and they are huge. The Italian pizza app was a hit with the kids as they love a balsamic glaze and they split the Alfredo too. The stuffed cabbage came with mashed potatoes and a red sauce. I actually think there could have been a little more sauce and salt to the dish but overall it was good- cabbage was tender and filling had some depth. I liked that they have a variety of table sizes to fit small and large groups and truly the ambience was spectacular. I'd def go back to try their pickle soup, a special drink from their menu, and everything else they have to offer! Service was really great. Parking lot in back seemed to be a good size- we did almost drive by it because the sign wasn't front and center- just look for the cozy church building and you'll find it! read more

7/29/23 - I was in town for a reunion and invited a friend to dinner. I didn't have a car so she picked me up. I had made a reservation for 5:30p knowing that it stays busy. It had been a rainy day and the the first awkward moment was when the front door did not open, although we both tried and saw a few people coming out the exit. We decided with the lights on and number of cars that they must be open. We went in through the exit. That brings you inside at the short side of the bar. Next awkward moments were we waited and were not acknowledged by the bartender and finally ask how we get seated. She didn't seem to happy about it and told us to see the hostess. That was up front but since that door didn't open and we couldn't see it from where we were, we asked and were told (with an attitude) it was up front. We were taken to our table and Chelsea introduced herself, gave us menus and a menu of specialty cocktails. We each ordered something different, and we did enjoy them. After looking at the menu we decided to split a couple of appetizers first. The pierogi come in 3s but we were told they can't be ordered with different fillings. We decided on the potato & cheddar. The potato pancakes were larger than we expected and did come with both sour cream and applesauce. We decided to split the chicken Parm entree. It was huge, moist and came with pasta and sauce, salad and fresh baked bread. We also ordered the Polish chocolate cake with whipped cream and raspberries. It was delish. We'd expected to have coffee but were kindly told that the 7p reservation was waiting for the table. Overall I'd rate it 5 for the food and ambiance. However given our difficulty getting in and seated, as well as unexpectedly being hurried out after a delayed beginning it was 3rd awkward instance in the same evening. If I had known about the 2hrs limit I'd have understood. On hospitality, despite the good server for our table, I'd give it 3 and that's a bit of a stretch, so overall 4 stars. It may have been an off night, but that was my guest's first time and did leave a negative impression with both of us. Very different from my last visit 2 years ago. read more

So pretty and unique inside. I had stuffed cabbages that were very good and service was great! I would recommend!

I decided to go someplace new for my birthday this year. I found Morluskis in the summer but never made it there so why not go for my birthday? It was amazing! I will recommend this restaurant to everyone! The food was amazing the ambiance was cozy, our waitress was great. This is not a 20 minute dinner place. We were there for 2.5 hours for a party of 8. But it was so worth it! The food was so good! I'm currently eating my left over raviolis as I write this! read more

While visiting Buffalo, once during my stay I have to get a Polish meal. Before we left, I found Morluski's on Yelp. It came down to the wire, our last night in town. Car problems and another issue pushed back our visit and when we arrived we were initially shunned. No room at the church for us (the building is an old church). Then we were told we could sit at the bar, quick glance...nobody at the bar, sure why not. Once at the bar, glanced around the restaurant. Very cool vibe going on here. A little Polish, a little Italian, a little Buffalo. Everyone was having a good time. There was a band playing in the upstairs (old church organ area?). Some more people showed up to the bar, they kept commenting on how nice the place was...people were digging it. Back to us. We got our drinks and ordered some food. Three Pole Plates and some oddball that ordered gnocchi. I got the fresh kielbasa, while two others got the smoked kielbasa. I'll comment on my plate....outstanding. The kielbasa was superb. The potato pancake was outstanding. The kraut was delicious. I also got some pierogi added to the plate, they were lost in the mix. Good, but they might have been better on their own. The others had similar thoughts. The gnocchi individual liked her meal (but earlier in our visit we went to Mulberry and got gnocchi ... tough to follow them up). We also got a very good simple salad (family style for the four of us) and bread to go with our meal. The bartenders did a great job keeping up on drink orders. It was fun watching them keep up with all the orders. Oh yeah, they had a few Polish beers available. When we return, this will be a must return visit. Keep up the great work!! read more

I've heard many good things about Morluski's so I figured it was time to check it out on a weekend where I had out of town guests visiting. I'm glad I chose it because it was a good success. I had reservations but they had some large groups so we still had to wait 20 minutes or so for the table to be ready. I liked the specialty cocktail choices with a Polish flare. The old church building is quite interesting and adds to the ambiance. The serving size is quite large so be prepared to take some home with you. I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut but I enjoyed the taste of theirs as well as the potato pancakes and Pierogi. The Italian menu provides great options for those wanting something other than Polish food read more

My Uncle and I went out for early dinner late lunch since they opened at 3pm on Monday . He is in a wheelchair and we had no problem with seating . The inside is just so fun to admire while eating . The food was so good. I had the dill pickle soup and the polish pizza. My uncle had Italian wedding soup and the Pole platter and a stuffed cabbage. The awesome waitress Ari bought out an awesome salad and a bread tray. We had plenty of leftovers and we both needed a nap. We will be back. read more

Really beautiful restaurant, I loved the decor on the inside. We sat upstairs in the balcony area so it was cool to look down and see the other diners and listen to the love piano music. I give our server SO much credit running up and down those stairs all night! Lots of parking behind the restaurant if you can't give a spot on main. The shared family style salad that came with dinner was so good and it reminded me of how my mom makes salads! The cabbage roll was very good, but the outside was slightly too browned and gave it a bitter taste. I liked the little flamingo stirrers in our drinks. read more

Such an amazing time, such an amazing experience. I thought before I went that I was going to get Italian that night, but when the menu was placed before me, my stomach decided it wanted Polish. I had potato pancakes, pierogi's and for dinner I had the kielbasa and noodles/kraut. My dinner came with a salad and warm bread. Such amazing food and dinner. Great and fantastic service. I'm going back soon for Italian! read more

Is a nice mix of polish Italian fare. We had to wait for our reservation then they moved us outside on the patio. The drinks were strong and delicious. By the time we got seated they were out of some things on the Polish side of the menu. We got apps from both sides of the menu. They took a bit to come out and then our order came out soon after. The meatballs and stuffed mushroom were amazing. Took awhile to get more drinks because they were busy. We were too full for dessert. read more

This place was just ok for me. The waitresses are friendly and were very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. We started out with the potato and cheddar perogis. These were very good. Then came the salad with bread, butter, and dipping oil. The butter was a very good homemade butter, made with local honey. My friend had the stuffed cabbage and enjoyed his food. I had the pole plate and didn't love it. I had one bite of the potato pancake and thought it was gross. The whole time we were eating, someone was circling the restaurant over and over in plain clothes, eyeing down each table. It felt really uncomfortable. Eventually, I overheard the table next to me complain to the waitress it was creepy. Turns out it was the bus boy. But he never took any of our dirty plates. Just kept circling, staring. IDK it was just weird. We ended with desserts and they were ok. I had the crepes. My friend had the cocoa cake. It wasn't so bad I would refuse to go back if invited, but it wasn't so great I'd choose to go back myself (if that makes sense). I would try something from the Italian menu next time so if I go again, I'll update the review. read more

Arrived in Buffalo and frustrated with long rental car delays. Still too early to check in to lodging so, as a wine geek, I sought out a wine bar. Morluski's came highly recommended and I am more than pleasantly impressed. The building is a renovated church with the bar in the place of the old alter. Jessica, the bartender reigns in the pulpit. She is attentive and conversational while efficiently doing her work. Obviously loves her job. We talked wine & Polish food while I enjoyed a decent French Sauv Blanc. She introduced me to the owner, Jeanine(?) who was most pleasant & welcoming. After 4 days, I feel like 'a regular'. Excellent ethnic menus (2) Polish on one side Italian on the other. All made in house. Pierogi is king. read more

Four o'clock reservation on a Tuesday. Short review? Advised our excellent server Sara, at the end of our meal, that we were unable to provide her with any constructive criticism. Yes, it was that good! For what it is/was (a renovated church) the interior of the building is nothing short of spectacular. The service provided by our server clearly showed her years of experience. The food? Clearly farm to table quality and fresh ingredients! Potato pancakes? 10 out of 10! Pierogis 11 out of 10. Yes, 11. Fettuccini Alfredo was very good homemade pasta and the sauce was not watery nor pasty. Nice FRESH garden salads included with meal. Homemade cheesecake. Biggest disappointment? Not finding this place sooner. Will definitely be back as regulars. Much like some other places have started doing, be aware that paying with a credit card will result in an approximate 4% up charge clearly shown on your bill. read more

I was looking forward to visiting Morluski's as I had heard excellent reviews. I recently checked out Morluski's for a Thursday night dinner last week with a group of friends (we were 8 people) - we had reservations for 6:30 and were immediately seated on arrival. I enjoyed the ambiance. The restaurant is in an old church, so the high ceilings and open room make it feel spacious. There was a fantastic piano player who was playing old tunes, including Billy Joel hits! The piano was not overpowering - the noise level was just right. The establishment was very clean with no odors. I liked the various decorations, including the pink flamingos (they're scattered around the restaurant). The waitress introduced herself to our group and took down our drink orders. A little while later, she returned to take our appetizer orders. However, we realized that the waitress had not taken our dinner orders by 7:15 or so - we tried to track her down but could not see her. We finally ordered our entrees at 7:30, which was obviously quite late. My friend had to leave dinner early because she had 8:30 movie tickets, so she never had the chance to order - you would think she would have been able to order her meal by 7pm. We were finally served our dinner entrees around 8pm (90 minutes after we arrived). I will admit that the food was delicious and was served nice and warm. I ate the stuffed cabbage which was absolutely fantastic. I also had the garlic bread appetizer (definitely worth trying) and we were served a tossed salad prior to receiving our meal, which was a nice treat. Honestly I would have awarded a higher rating had the wait been more reasonable. I am willing to return to Morluski's in the near future for a second chance. read more

This was a great choice for a last minute dinner with a friend. I figured with their half polish/half Italian cuisine, there would be something to appeal to both of us. I read that it was located in an old church on Main St but that didn't stop me from being blown away by the space! It was so unique with trinkets and cool decor all over. The service was flawless too, our server was so kind to accommodate all our requests and questions. We started off with two polish beers, Warka, which came in huge bottles. It was fruity and satisfying. Next came our meals. I ordered 2 appetizers as I wanted to try both sides of the menu. I got the stuffed portobello mushroom and potato pancakes . The mushroom was tasty, cheese and Italian sausage stuffing with a balsamic glaze on top. Even better was the pancakes, large and crispy and accompanied with sour cream and applesauce. It was everything you would ever want of a pancake, two thumbs way up! My friend ordered a polish platter with Polish sausage, potato pancake , pierogi (farmers cheese was her choice) and she was able to substitute Brussel sprouts for sauerkraut. This thing could have easily fed 2 maybe 3 people. And everything was very good she said, no complaints! Excellent Food, service and atmosphere.... I think it goes without saying, I will be back! read more

Definitely a cool place to check out. Service was great. For us, food just seemed to have a spice/flavor that just was "off". We had a polish dinner that had everything on it so we could try all the things and the Mamas Gnocchi which was just was too overpowering with a very strong blue cheese, nothing like I have ever had in a Gorgonzola cream sauce. The tables salad was our favorite part of the meal, so fresh and the house dressing was great. read more

This is a cute new addition to Clarence. The inside is adorable, and the menu offers either Polish or Italian food. We ordered the Pole Plate, Chicken Parmesan, and stuffed banana peppers. All of the meals were good but not great. The pierogi needed to be cooked more, and the breading on the chicken was off on consistency. All and all, I would come back but more for the atmosphere. read more

Fantastic first experience at Morluskis! Called ahead to see if they had last minute seating on a Thursday night & they did upstairs! The view was awesome and they had a pianist playing which wasn't to loud upstairs! There were 2 dinner specials, which we tried the one pork chop special and my husband couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was! He had me try potato pancake. I ordered the stuffed cabbage dinner, one being because it's gluten free and two because I had to know how good it was compared to growing up on Hungarian stuffed cabbage. Let's just say, I didn't need mashed potatoes but I would have loved another stuffed cabbage. I'm not sure what type of gravy/sauce was all over mashed potatoes but I wasn't loving it. I think I would have preferred to have an order of potato pancake instead of mashed potatoes. Can we talk about the dill pickle soup with shredded carrots and pickles, with potatoes. It was delicious and I'd order it again. The homemade bread with herbs on top was so fresh. So many restaurants stopped serving fresh hot bread after pandemic so this was a treat. The salad that came with our 2 dinners was unbelievable. So fresh with pickled onions, cucumber and tomatoes over mixed greens/romaine with a homemade balsamic dressing mixed in. I think there was a lot of crushed black pepper on salad too, which I would prefer non or less. I'd go back for soup and salad. The Sauvignon blanc wine was so light and perfect with soup and salad. Our server was very friendly and professional. I can't remember her name, but I know she related to my gluten free choices because she mentioned she has celiacs. She deserves a raise! I want her as a server again! Thank you for welcoming us last minute and taking care of us during our first but not last visit tonight! read more
