I had the saffron shrimp risotto. Man, that was great along with a few glasses of wine. My next visit was with friends for a few drinks. The owner & staff welcomed us with open arms as we explored some great cocktails. You'll love it! Check it out...

The menu is also small, and recently updated. There is an Asian influence that ends at the appetizers. We started with the wontons. These were a little underwhelming, but still good. We each got a pasta dish for dinner. Our pastas were fantastic. The pasta is made in house, and it's very clear to see. I got the cavatelli in vodka sauce and my husband got the short rib pappardelle.

Soul food has arrived to North Buffalo in a big way! Get the word out because I need them to stay!…read moreRestaurant is in the heart of North Buffalo, located on Hertel about two blocks from Parkside. Cute vibe inside. They do have a bar setup, but didn't appear it's used for alcohol. I was greeted as soon as I opened the door and was walking through. Being my first time, I did order a few didn't dishes, sides and desserts to try. There was NOT a bad dish. All the food was amazing. Great portions, tasty flavors and everything truly was cooked to perfection. I have given up talking about prices because let's be honest where can you go for cheap anymore. BUT I have to mention I got the Kinsley street fried chicken dinner, it comes with four prices chicken (half chicken, breast,leg,wing,and thigh) and two sides for 22.99, I felt this was actually a great price point and so worth it. Our next dish was the JP fish sandwhich and fries, again, the sandwhich was huge, the fish was seasoned and cooked to perfection! Fries were yummy. Next up was the TPs hot honey chicken sandwhich. Now I am over the hot honey chicken sandwhich as it's been done to death, but I still always feel the need to try eveyones hahaha, and glad I did another grand slam sandwhich! For the sides, I tried the Mac and cheese, pinto beans, collard greens and coleslaw. If you follow my reviews I am a Mac and cheese snob, don't think I order many that I liked, well thank you Heavens because the Mac and cheese was DELICIOUS!!! The Coleslaw was also top notch. I don't eat collard greens or pinto beans but my family told me they were good. They did not have desserts on the menu but I seen some on the counter, sooooo I order a slice of caramel cake, slice of sour cream cake and peach cobbler. Fat kid heaven they all were so good. Literally the best caramel cake since my mother in law! I felt like I just ate at my husband's family reunion. I had to go in and order, then I left ran to dash and came back in about 25 mins and my food was ready when I got back. So service was pretty fast. My only thing wish you could order on line first, parking is not the best in that area. Also Google has address as 1641 Hertel but it actually is 1633, not a big deal because same area but just a heads up.

This tends to be a challenge on Saturdays but Heaven's Countertop, one of Buffalo's newest soul food restaurant was up for challenge. Now when I say new, I mean new as only been open for just a month today. They took over the space occupied by the soul food restaurant Je ne se qui after the owners retired. They offer both breakfast 4 days as week followed by dinner after they take a short break. But on Sundays they offer a brunch buffet for $ 30 from 1-3 followed by dinner from 3-6. As stated previously I came in on Saturday for breakfast. We got their a lil before 12 which is right before they take a break for dinner but they still accommodated us. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers. Our waitress was the owners mom who was nice but little bit forgetful. Since we came closer to the end of breakfast they were out of some items. I got the smash up $24 for pancakes, haddock tid bits, fried chicken, eggs, grits and potatoes. Even though there was no grits or potatoes this was still a hefty meal. Everything seasoned perfectly!! They did mix up a few meals. The owner came out introduced herself and apologized for the inconvenience as well as took 10% off our meal. Which was a nice gesture. I'll definitely be back for Sunday brunch and I have to try their dinner as well because I heard their smothered pork chops are amazing. Also, their bathroom is spacious enough to change a diaper comfortably and is wheelchair accessible. It also is stocked with feminine products !! One draw back is no alcohol...so no brunch mimosas So if you are looking to try a new soul food restaurant please check them out!! Keep in mind they are new and still working kinks out.

What you do see is a kitchen area, that is being used for prepping the different types of seafood at the time. The seafood is fresh and then vacuumed pack. The owner actually does some of the fishing in Alaska. I think if they can utilize the kitchen more, they could get a lot of business by doing fish dinners. Salmon burgers- enjoyed how it was full of meat and not fillers. Also season very well. (Caution may have few bones)

It's owned by a fisherman who actually travels to Alaska himself to catch some of seafood himself. He also gets seafood from other small boat fishermen. All wild caught.

There are two options either you pick your own protein, veggies and noodles or picked one from the menu. The menu had 4 options, pre fixed what is in it. The pick yourself will be by the lbs price. You go to the fridge area load the bowl to whatever selections and they will weigh and cook it for you. We did both. My husband do pick yourself and I picked one in the menu. The one of the menu huge!! I can't finish it and we ended brought the rest home and made it a couple more meals! Service was ok. They also used the robo server. The restaurant is very quiet at the time we went. It was not a big restaurant. Overall we like it but next time we will just pick from the menu. I don't think the options were good. KBBQ definitely better for the options.

The complementary bread was delicious, and weirdly so was the butter. I liked that it had salt on it. Oysters 10/10 From Maine, and they were huge! Burrata Salad 10/10 The burrata was so fresh and good! The earthy arugula paired nicely with it. And the balsamic was the perfect extra touch- unless it was the mustard dressing but i don't think it was. And I did like the hazelnuts, even though I didn't think I was going to. They were toasted a little bit. Continental 10/10 Veal was super thin and breaded. The breading was slightly soggy because of all the sauce on it but it was not bad though. The shrimps were a decent size and cooked perfectly. The pasta was great and you could tell it was homemade. The sauce was a really good scampi sauce. Slightly thicker than a traditional scampi, and I loved the amount of garlic and the garlic flavor of it. The broccolini was ok. The stems were a little bit hard, but the tops were good, and good in the sauce too. Seared Duck Breast 10/10 Duck was cooked perfectly. It had crispy skin on one side, and was a good temperature between medium and med rare. The flavor was also very good, and it was seasoned perfectly too. Celeriac purée was very earthy. The black currant red wine reduction was good, it had this very distinct flavor I can't place exactly. The spiced carrots were amazing. Banoffee Pie 10/10 This was a layered pie, and it was a huge slice! Plenty to share between two. It was chocolate shavings on top of a thick layer of whipped cream, a thick layer of banana cream pie, and a thick layer of homemade toffee, then the graham cracker crust. The banana cream pie had fresh bananas, and the toffee was thick and so flavorful. Everything paired together amazing and it was to die for. There was some extra toffee, chocolate, and I think a little honey on the plate for garnish as well as some dollops of custard, which was also really good. I could eat this whole thing every day.

It is a top notch restaurant that uses high quality and fresh ingredients and adds gourmet touches that are higher end but still work for the Buffalo crowd. And the portions are usually generous. I like it here but a lot of the menu options don't work for my diet. So when I come it's for someone else's occasion but it's still very much a treat. I will say that the staff is always accommodating and helpful to ensure I find something to eat. Most recently I was able to enjoy a delicious special that was grilled prawns with mescaline and vinaigrette, supremed oranges and grapefruits and artichoke hearts filled with herbed goat cheese. It was delicious and filling enough I was able to eat it as my main. The flavors were unique and blended well together. I was full but it was still light. The herbed goat cheese stuffed artichokes were delicious and a real treat. I'd hope to have them another time. The citrus fruit touches were a nice contrast to the richness of the cheese. If you want a delicious meal and a nice place for a date or girls night definitely check this place out.

We had a drink at the bar and then we're seated at our table. The waiter was cordial, friendly and informative. We ordered the stuffed mushroom appetizer, the Carrot Papardella, and the Penne w/ grilled steak "au poivre". So good! The bread with the tomato sauce was fresh and the sauce had an amazing flavor. The stuffed mushroom with artichoke stuffing was very rich and flavorful. Lots of stuffing. The Carrot Papardella had large chunks of fresh seafood and great sauce. The penne with steak was very good. The marsala sauce was very rich and filling but flavorful with that sweet marsala wine sauce. Steak was tenderly cooked perfectly. The waiter brought out a great slice of complimentary birthday caramel ganache cake. Great surprise. Our water glasses were never empty, the bread was plentiful and the meal was so tasty, fresh and flavorful. This place has a good amount of seating but reservation recommended for busier times. It's a nice dining room with a bar at the entrance of the restaurant. They have daily specials and rotating dessert specials. Highly recommended and always worth the visit!!
