Great atmosphere. Service is good. My only gripe is that I'm allergic to avocado and ordered the mid-day turkey club sandwich without the avocado and the still put it on there. Didn't notice until after I'd already bitten into it. It cost them just one star here because I didn't have a full on reaction. Had them remake it and it was good. It was balanced well between the distribution of meat to veggies and the sauce used was creamy bonus with great seasoning. The bread was buttery, and toasted. Nice size sandwich for a late lunch, as I took half my meal home for later. I added the brussels sprouts which were both sweet and savory. My guest had the salmon Ceasar salad that they enjoyed. Bathrooms are outside of the restaurant in the lobby of the hotel. They were clean and offered full privacy in each stall with doors that went all the way to the floor with no separation slots. Overall good food, a bit pricey, but nice ambiance for meetings, romantic dinners, or single person drop in's. Also valet is COMPLIMENTARY if you're eating there which is an added bonus if you can't find downtown street parking. read more

Came here for the first time last weekend because they were able to accommodate us last minute on Valentine's weekend. The food was delicious but portions were slightly smaller than I would have liked for the price. Otherwise though, everything was delicious. The mocktails available were really appreciated and delicious. Service was good. We were a bit confused with the entrance not realizing it was inside the hotel but did find it fairly easily. Street parking wasn't too hard to find. read more

While our food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, the other guests dining at the same time as us really negatively impacted our experience. The large group of women seated behind us were taking pictures using flash photography on a professional camera for the entire length of our dinner. The amount of flash was so excessive and impacted our ability to enjoy our business dinner as many people began to get headaches. I would hope to see the restaurant address this kind of behavior in the future, and maintain the quality of the atmosphere. read more

Maybe it was a late Mother's Day reservation but our food was awful. I ordered chicken milanese. It was terribly overcooked and therefore hard to cut. My wife and her twin sister sent back pasta with a strong lemon and mint flavor and a veal at came raw and looked unappetizing. read more

Had a very nice dinner at Patina before a show at Shea's. Nice location on Delaware avenue within walking distance of the theatre located inside of the Westin hotel. The restaurant is known for being fresh locally sourced ingredients and has seasonal menus. It is a trendy setting displaying art work from local artists. Very nice bar with a big tv to watch sporting events. We started with the Parkerhouse rolls, which were delicious served with maple butter. I had the classics Caesar salad which was quite good... but because it is definitely the chassis version with anchovies. We had the ricotta cavatelli and the rigatoni with bolognese Bianca... the dishes were good but a little heavy in the garlic. But we finished our plates and finished with a delicious caramelized banana pudding. Server was professional and attentive. I would definitely recommend for a nice dinner! read more

Patina 250 - 2 EGGS YOUR WAY* plus APPLEWOOD SMOKED BACON & TEA - New American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

There was nobody at the desk during check in for our reservation, even though the restaurant was empty. I did not mind, but it was notable. I did not like the variety on the menu. The only course I enjoyed was the appetizer, which was the glazed pork. My steak tasted as if it was just cooked with zero seasoning. The only other flavor was the garnish on the plate, which I slid my steak into, but still really nothing. I've had much better food. I was looking forward to a spectacular anniversary dinner, and it was not great. The worst was the banana pudding. How in God's name do you mess banana pudding up? For a better steak, I would go to Falletta's in Amherst. At least there you get the bare minimum bread basket. I will say my waiters were great and this is nothing against them! read more

Great food. Smallish and no wait on a weeknight. I'm staying at the hotel so it was a very convenient to eat here but if I wasn't, I'm not sure I would come here except that the short rib was really an amazing dish. As well as the blackout cake. Duck is a little salty and resembled ham. The host said it's cured duck. The cauliflower is good and crispy. Good for 3-4 people since it was a large portion. read more

This was a great meal overall and perfect amount of food for us. We split the squash soup, which did get cold quick in the type of bowl they served, but came out hot. Just something for them to consider. It tasted good though! I got the short rib and my husband got the filet. My greens were a bit over salted, but I still enjoyed them and the overall meal. My husbands filet was cooked perfect! We both ended the meal with espresso martinis. They were definitely sweeter than we like them to be, so not my favorite, but the food was and service were great!! read more

I really enjoyed the dinner at Patina, the staff were welcoming, the ambiance is charming, the menu has large plates and small plates. The wine list is small but well chosen. Something for everyone, really. I loved the salad and pasta dish. And they have me a special birthday surprise. Very nice! read more

Just finished my brunch at Patina 250. This restaurant is inside the Westin Hotel downtown. Business is good! I got a table by the window, it was perfect. I ordered coffee and Fresh Toast with mascarpone cheese. It was delicious, brioche bread is thick and fluffy, the strawberry topping is not too sweet, just perfect. Service is good, my coffee was refreshed without me asking. The ambiance is lively. I parked across street on the street, but noticed it offers valet parking. read more

So we love to eat at the bar after a few cocktails. The bartender on Friday night was excellent, friendly, and attentive! The cocktails were outstanding. Unfortunately the food was terrible. We started w the Cinnamon bread appetizer because honestly, the choices were pretty meek. It was basically a large pan of bread w very little cinnamon or butter on it and was just eh--- My wife ordered the Cod which was literally cold in the middle of the fish. The cod was served with a cabbage creation which was very good. But It was as if the cod was frozen and they didn't cook it through. I was excited to order one of the homemade pasta dishes, so I ordered the lasagna bolognese. It was dry, w almost no sauce, and pretty bland. I could describe it as a pile of lasagna noodles w cheese and not ricotta cheese which may have helped. Huge thumbs down. read more

Great place for brunch! Parking is not ideal but so it goes in this area. Make a resy! It's an upscale dining with industrial and beautiful inside. Each meal and app was absolutely delicious. We also had the bottomless mimosas, which honestly were much too acidic with too much orange juice. Our server and staff were friendly. I personally had the biscuits and mushroom gravy which was made with local Flat 12 Mushrooms and absolutely divine and savory. Don't forget to try the crispy Brussels! Knocked a star because the food took quite a while to come out, we had to constantly search for the server and ask for mimosa refills, and the girls at the host desk were too busy chatting and were not very friendly upon arrival, leaving, and asking where the bathroom was. read more

Wonderful NY Eve dinner. First timers and loved every second. The filet was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend had the short ribs and he loved them. If I had one minor complaint it's that the portion sizes for the pricing were on the small size. Oh and Flora, our server was so sweet and an excellent server! The esthetic was beautiful. Definitely will go again. read more

Came here for a friends birthday. You have to pay for parking so be prepared for that. It is attached to the hotel so you have to go in through the hotel to get to the restaurant. When we came it was very empty, which was odd because our server barely came to our table to check up on us. (We were a party of 6) I didn't really like the lighting of the restaurant, it felt very off putting. Cocktails were absurdly priced & they lacked flavor. Food was great & very tasty. Still very expensive & the amount given was a little disappointing. Needless to say, I would recommend this place if it were only 2 people going. But this place is definitely not the place to go to for a bigger group. read more

(Last visited 10/3/2021.) Hanging out in Buffalo for the weekend and you know how we do... we brunch. Lol. So we did our Yelp thing and found that Patina 250 offers bottomless mimosas, so this is where we wound up. Let me tell you how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right downtown on Delaware Avenue is this gem. It's on a city block so you'll need to find your own parking, but we found some on the street. The inside is very elegant, fashion-forward, chic and open. I loved the gentle, yet party-like aura of this place. The big windows let in a lot of light and lit up the room. Service: I can't remember the gentlemen's name that took care of us, but he was excellent. He never let our glass get too low, he was quick, had a funny personality and just was ready to party like we were. Food: So in order to get the bottomless mimosas you have to go with the Prix Fixe menu. Fine by me! So you get to choose an appetizer, a main course then for your drink you can go with a bottomless bellini, mimosa or Patina-label chardonnay or merlot! So I went with the jumbo lump crab cake for my appetizer and it was delicious. It was a bit different from crab cakes I've had in Baltimore, but it was still good. It was like... fluffier than what I've had and not as hearty. It comes with a pickled vegetable salad. For my entrée I went with the steak & eggs and it was amazing. It was a nice sirloin, cooked just how I asked with 2 sunny-side up eggs and a fluffy hash brown cube. It was the perfect amount of food and I'd love to try some other things on the menu next time! Value: So this place isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. The Prix Fixe menu is $59.00 per person, but you get a good amount of food and all the drinks... you can drink. Lol. Absolutely worth it. In conclusion, I'm glad we found this place and I would absolutely return! Period. You should check this place out if you're in the area! read more

Went to celebrate a friends job promotion and had a wonderful time here. I had the P250 burger, which was not only reasonably priced for this place but very delicious. Really enjoyed the shoestring fries as well and trying a different appetizers that were ordered for the table. Though I'm completely blanking on our servers name, he was fantastic and so accommodating for our party. read more

Went for Mother's Day 2024 and it was wonderful so we decided to re-book for this Mother's Day 2025. There were 8 of us. It was NOT good. There was no other option just mimosa, no other choice of juice (there were 4 choices last year!). For $79 per person(not including tip), you think they can offer another juice?? The food was average, not bad but definitely not one item where we said "this is good!" The avocado toast was so hard I could not bite into it. The desserts were actually very bad. I had to spit out the eclair (if that is what it was) It had a terrible taste. The service was fine, and the people working there were very nice. But, It was NOT worth the $800 we paid for our family. RIDICULOUS!!! Will never be going here again. There are so many great spots with good food that don't overcharge because it is a holiday. We will give them our business. read more

I've had the pleasure of staying at the Westin hotel and dining at their restaurant everyday for lunch and dinner since last Sunday. If you happen to be in the Buffalo area and looking for a delicious meal with top-notch service,-- then this is the place for you. The restaurant is located inside the hotel, the restaurant serves breakfast (buffet), lunch, and dinner daily. The ambiance is just right - quiet enough for a business meeting, yet lively enough to enjoy a conversation without overhearing your neighbors. Plus, they've arranged the tables in a thoughtful way, with power outlets available at some tables for your convenience. Dinner: Let me tell you about my dinner experience. I first had dinner here with my girlfriend on Sunday, the table next to us was celebrating a birthday, the service was not the best, but the rest of the week service was better. The dinner menu is different from lunch, and I believe the kitchen staff and manager change as well for weekdays. The freshness of the fish was outstanding, and a special shoutout to the Manager Jeremy for his excellent suggestions. During our time here, for dinner we tried: I. Parker House Rolls II. Citrus & Beet Salad III. Crispy Glazed Pork Belly IV. Foei Gras Torchon V. Olived Oil Poached Halibut VI. Roasted Branzino VII. Erba Verde Farms Chicken VIII. Lemon Tiramisu We recommend the Crispy Glazed Pork Belly, the Foei Gras Torchon, the Erba Verde Farms Chicken and the Olived Oil Poached Halibut. Our dinner favorites were the juicy Erba Verde Farms Chicken and the fresh Halibut. Lunch: The outstanding service from Ruth made our experience all the more enjoyable. In the last four days we indulged in a variety of dishes, including the I. Cobb Salad, II. Mediterranean Seabass, III. Steak and Frites, and IV. Citrus and Beet Salad Our top picks for lunch were the refreshing Citrus and Beet Salad and the delectable Mediterranean Seabass. We highly recommend giving them a try! read more

I think if you love this place, you love this. Otherwise it can be pretty meh. I've been here a few times, my first was during a Yelp event. The next time I came back was for brunch with a friend and we did the Continental breakfast which was decent. This last time was another brunch with friends. Regarding my most recent experience I ordered the pastrami hash with eggs. My dish had great visual appeal, thinly sliced potato , layered topped with pastrami, two eggs sunny side up and a horseradish soubise. The menu indicates peppers and onions however they were very scant. The soubise, very little placed on the plate was EVERYTHING and really added to the dish. I found the coffee to be very acidic. With the food being good the service was terrible. I'm not sure what was going on but our server barely gave the time of day and plenty of attitude. I should have known when I approached the host station and I got the "what do you want" look when I asked if could be seated (from the bar) as all of our guests arrived. It took quite some time to get drink ordered placed, then when a friend mentioned the food they wanted to order she quickly snarked she was only taking drink orders. Someone else brought out the food and she only occasionally came back to pour more mimosas and bellinis. Clearly the manager didn't care as he stayed at the host table within earshot and unless clueless could not missed the experience our table was having. Some of my friends are enthralled by this place, I however am not. I would come back if invited by a friend but it is certainly not at the top of list for places to brunch. read more

I brought my mom for a belated birthday brunch a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. When I made my reservation I noted that we were celebrating her birthday and I asked if they could make it special, and they did! When we were seated they placed a handwritten birthday card on our table, which was a very nice touch. We ordered the blueberry French toast, toastada, and short ribs with grits. Everything tasted good and was beautifully plated, but the French toast was the star of the show! Decadent, buttery soft, a flavor bomb. It was EVERYTHING. At the end of the meal they brought my mom a desert with a tall sparkler - definitely a great way to end the meal. She's already bugging me about coming back. read more

We stopped in for lunch and it was amazing. Casual vibe with lots of business folks but we had a great time and great food & service. DONT MISS the focaccia starter - it's probably one of the best pieces of food I've had in the whole city. They really took care to make an incredible compound butter and the fennel honey drizzle just makes the meal. I've only ever gone to Patina for dinner and I've been missing out! read more

What a stunning spot in the city! My boyfriend and I were so stoked to give Patina 250's brunch a try. We had an a-okay time! The restaurant is beautiful. So much open light and it's right downtown so you really get a big-city feel here. The service was on-point, too. Our food came out quickly and our server was so attentive. We really appreciated that! Our food was just okay, which left us a little disappointed. I ordered the brioche French toast, it was a massive serving! The toppings were a little too sweet, but what really bummed me out was that about half of it still had raw batter on it. I was full by the time I reached the undercooked half, but I felt bad having our server toss it. My boyfriend got the classic eggs Benedict -- his came without hollandaise sauce and the biscuits the eggs were served on were a bit undercooked as well. Based on the rave reviews of this place, I think we possibly just came on an off day. I'd be willing to give Patina 250 another shot in the future, probably for dinner and drinks! read more

Patina 250 - Brioche French Toast - New American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Atmosphere - 5 (We like nice $hit) Food - 4 Price - 4 Service -4 First off, I love the Westin Hotel. I've even purchased their candles for my home. Patina 250 doesn't fall short either on giving you that modern, upscale atmosphere. Even with the surroundings, it doesn't feel haughty. Our two-year-old was welcomed and didn't seem out of place. I can understand why they are in the Westin. I had the lobster roll and it was delicious just get butter on the side. Patina probably has the best French Toast in WNY and surrounding areas. BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST - fresh fruit compote, frangipane, whipped vanilla mascarpone, mint, and toasted pecan. It seems that the fresh fruit compote is based on what fruit is in season. When we last had it it was strawberries and rhubarb. I see now it's peach compote. Eating the French toast is a moment in itself. Everything around you melts away, your eyes close and it's only you and that French toast. We also had the salsa Verde sausage, great flavor, and a large portion. A bit different than your traditional breakfast sausage. Again, we will most certainly be returning for the French toast and sausage. It was so fluffy and delicious and so much more than typical French toast usually served at brunches. It's nice here. It's perfect for small events as well. We will return and we hope to see you there. 6 feet away of course. read more

Had dinner at the bar on a busy Saturday night. Service was excellent from the bartenders. We had pierogis, lasagna, Caesar salad, and the crab cake. All were really good. Overall this is a good option in downtown Buffalo. read more

The restaurant is gorgeous. Contemporary decor with a touch of deco mixed in, nicely lit and comfortable. We truly enjoyed the cocktails and the complimentary dessert as an anniversary gift. The food was a bit disappointing though. We had 2 pastas which were very good. But I ordered the scallops and while flavorful, they needed about 60 more seconds to cook. And the pine nuts were quite stale and beyond their "best by" date for sure. And our service......we felt like we were being rushed at times. The waiter took my plate that had the sauce for the pork belly without even asking if we were done (we were not). And we were not allowed to order our appetizers prior to ordering our meal. Very odd. Overall I do recommend this restaurant and we will certainly give it a second chance..... read more

Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Food was ok but nothing special (except for the Brussels sprouts, which were great). Overall it was nice but overpriced. read more

Interior decorator did a great job. Fun to find a table by the window for breakfast. Waiter recommended the eggs Benedict. I got it, not very good. The hollandaise was like a thick cold gravy with no lemon and a stale post-Thanksgiving feel. Will not order again. Breakfast for 2 was $50 and we didn't even get coffees. Bummer. Really wanted to enjoy this place. read more

I visited today which was my 3rd visit ever. I ordered the pastrami reuben, which is on a darker bread, and was surprised to find a significant amount of mold on the bread (1/4 of the way done with it). I will say since it was darker bread I could see how the kitchen staff could miss it. However the reason I'm writing this review is because it could have been handled better. My sandwich was comped (I didn't want anything else either) but my iced tea wasn't. My friend's sandwich (turkey) wasn't either (bill was about $20 bucks). I'm just surprised given the higher end nature of this restaurant I would have expected a situation like that be handled differently. read more

Not a fan. The service we received was slow and unattentive(no water refills) which was disappointing for how much we spent. The steaks were cooked backwards and were not as soft or juicy as I would expect. The ambience was nice but not nice for this price. No table cloths, reusing silverware for some of the different courses, no small plates for shareables, etc. read more

Would have given a 5. My friend I dined with is vegan. Our server was great and recommended the gnocchi dish with mushrooms and broccoli, because it was vegan and flavorful, so my friend went with that. Unfortunately, It came out with cheese on it which was disappointing. So that's why I'm giving a 4. So I waited to eat until a replacement dish came out for her. Other than that, cocktails, service and ambiance were great! I enjoyed one of the specials for the evening - squash ravioli with a side of flat 12 mushrooms. I ate every bite. Also really enjoyed the chocolate black out cake, with thick, creamy whipped cream on top and a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Went for dinner on a Friday at 6 and made a reservation. Very nice experience, not too loud. I've been a few times over the years and will definitely keep coming back. read more

I attended this bar with two friends last night. In the past I have always had a good experience at this establishment however after the treatment I received last night I will not be returning. It took the bartender 15 minutes to even acknowledge us after being seated at the bar. It seemed as though the bartender was behind on drinks so I tried to be understanding. I was prepared to walk out when he finally did come over. I ordered their margarita, my friend ordered southern comfort with Coca Cola, and my other friend ordered a Negroni. The bartender explained they don't serve southern comfort, but he could make something comparable. We agreed to let him try. After about 10 - 15 minutes we finally got our drinks. It took so long I was tempted to order our next round after receiving the first but then I thought better. I told my friends we should probably just have one and be done. My friend tried the drink that was supposed to be comparable to southern comfort and it was horrible according to him and it was missing Coca Cola. He was very disappointed especially because we waited so long. Then he ordered tequila and pineapple. The bartender rather than remaking the drink decided to wait on other people and make their drinks instead of remaking the one he just messed up. At that point my friend was outraged and went outside to vape. I finished my drink with my remaining friend and we payed our bill and left. My friend walked with me to the car and flipped off the bartender. Was this right? No, but neither was what happened next. The bartender opened the side door that lead to the street and decided to start yelling at my friend. My friend yelled back so now they're both screaming. I'm sure it disturbed diners. It was highly unprofessional. We were leaving...there was no need to engage with us at all in my opinion. If I was bartending and someone did that to me I'd ignore the rude person and continue doing my job. I have no doubt in my mind that in the same moment this man decided to argue with us he was behind on his drink orders. It seemed ridiculous to yell and scream at people walking away. I have never been treated that way before in an establishment that is aiming to be upscale. I saw a lack of class from that employee. I saw him lose his cool and that was a huge turn off for me. Even before this incident the food has always been just okay. Would I recommend this restaurant? Not after last night unfortunately. I would expect that behavior at a dive bar, but not a bar inside of the Westin. I did speak to a manger however it did not seem as though much would be done which drove me to write this review. It's actually a shame I think Patina 250 is very beautiful on the inside, but I will not be returning and I cannot recommend this restaurant any longer read more

I came for brunch and it was not great. The French toast just had some flavor going on that just wasn't very appetizing. I have to say they're very generous with their bacon portions. Seven strips of bacon for one order I thought was very generous. However, it tasted like it came out of the microwave. Nothing negative to say about the staff they were on point and helpful. My waitress made a fantastic mimosa. It's a beautiful restaurant with big windows to look outside very much enjoyed sipping my mimosa this morning. At the end of the day, what matters most is the taste of the breakfast and it just wasn't there for me. Sorry will not return. read more

I loved Patina 250, I have lived in for about a year and friends took me to this establishment for the first time last week (January 2024) and it was excellent! The food was delicious. I had a very unique beet salad and an incredible mussel entree. The service was on target! Our waiter was professional and affable. The ambiance was perfect. It was lively but I was able to enjoy conversation at the table without difficulty. I truly recommend this restaurant. read more

my favorite place downtown for Sunday brunch and special occasion dinners! the Prix Fixe menu for brunch is set a 59, however you do get a lot of food (starter + main) and i would recommend if you can drink (choice of bottomless bellini / mimosas or both). the ambience inside is amazing and the service is always good. i love the crispy brussels sprouts here. plus i don't think my friends and i have ever gotten anything we didn't like here. highly recommend! read more

Atmosphere and appearance were great.the menu was disappointingly small and no specials that night. My wife's strip steak and my French onion soup were great. The rolls were nothing to be excited about, plus you had to pay $8 for them. I did not care for, nor eat my Gemelli pasta. It was dry and lacking flavor. The server was good enough to take it off the bill. Too pricey, for the food anyway. read more

Some things just missed the mark. They're small things but it added up. We requested a side, which we didn't receive. We had to ask our server for it twice after receiving our meals. By the time it arrived we were done with our entrees. We ordered a second round of drinks, and when they came, they didn't remove the empty glasses, which were empty prior to the second round of drink arriving. The waiter came and dropped off a dessert menu while we were in the middle of our entrees. Not even close to being done. I ordered the strip steak, medium rare. It was overcooked and chewy. We likely won't be going back unfortunately. read more
