The Godfather
Aly W.

I was a little iffy giving this place a try after my first impressions from online drama, but I'm glad we came and look forward to going back, hopefully with room for dessert next time because the 24K Gold chocolate budino looks amazing. My husband and I came after dinner elsewhere so we just tried a couple cocktails. It wasn't his favorite Old Fashioned, but I loved The Godfather. It has scotch and amaretto. My husband was impressed with the decor and simplicity of the layout. I love the leopard print carpet and appreciate the gold leaf details on the walls and even the pipes, but I was overwhelmed by everything else being different shades of gold as well. Goldmember "I like GOOOLD" vibes. Service is friendly and welcoming. I'd love to try other drinks next time, but The Godfather will be hard to resist. It's, well, liquid gold.

Cantaloupe sour cocktail, espresso martini and marinated olives.

We started at Saint Neri for a 3-part Resturant tour. We made a reservation very easily on a Saturday night (but the Savannah Bananas game so it wasn't busy. My husband ordered a cocktail - something like a cantaloupe sour and I had an espresso martini. Both were EXCEPTIONAL. We then had an appetizer (Arancino) and it was a smidge cheesy for me but I am not a strong cheese flavor person. For the average cheese lover it would be perfect. The only detractor was the atmosphere. All the servers/bartenders were in these shimmery tassel-y dresses (they looked comfortable and cute) but it felt very competitive with wall to wall cheetah print carpet and cheetah print bar stools. For a bar that's supposed to be speakeasy-esque, I was hoping for a little more art deco touches and style and even music. Beyond that, I can't think of anything I didn't like!

Super cute ambiance. Love the cheetah floors and velvet curtains. It definitely gives rich vibes that's for sure. I came here on a late night when it was nearing closing for drinks with friends. I've always heard great things about it especially when they first opened. The music was cool vibe and the dim lightning made it such a great chill spot. The staff was friendly and the location was very easy to get to. I'll def be returning for my caviar bump.

Such a cute place! Very pretty inside. Delicious cocktails and fun, intimate atmosphere. The workers even offered to take our pics which was super nice of them

We checked out Saint Neri this weekend, and I absolutely loved it. The whole experience is a vibe. There's nothing like it in Buffalo. From the drinks to the food to the atmosphere, everything about this place is fire. You step off of Lexington Ave and into a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. We had the lasagna, arancino, and stuffed pepper, all of which were really flavorful.

A Culinary Journey at Saint Neri: Saint Neri is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable culinary experience. Nestled on Lexington, Ave., this charming restaurant & bar exudes an aesthetic that immediately triggers all the feels. There's a warmth & cozy sophistication from the moment you step inside. As I entered Saint Neri, I was immediately struck by the elegant yet inviting ambiance. From the dim lighting, coupled with thoughtful decor: swafts of elegant fabric draping throughout, candle light flickering off 24k gold leaf walls, while listening to the perfect playlist setting the vibe for the evening... indulgence. The menu at Saint Neri is a testament to the chef's creativity & dedication to using the freshest ingredients. From starters to desserts, each dish is thoughtfully crafted to tantalize the taste buds & awaken the senses. Steven, the bartender, is fantastic. His welcoming presence made you feel as if the attention was all on you. His knowledge & detail of the cuisine & intentionally thought out bar program was a welcomed surprise. He genuinely seemed invested in his position & his descriptions of the libations & food enticed me to try multiple dishes. From the caviar sliders to the "secret" off-menu burger - cooked to perfection - were the stars of the evening. The staff were attentive, kind & knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience exceeded expectations... & facts, it did. Saint Neri is a culinary gem that should not be missed. Setting the bar high for a new level of dining in Buffalo, NY. You don't want to miss out on a movement!

First time to Saint Neri and it was wonderful! 5 stars. Can't wait to go back. I went for a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening and they accommodated a group of 10 of us. We loved the corner couch / booth vibe! Jessica our server was great. I loved my espresso martinis. The chicken parm was HUGE and so delicious! The meatball sliders with marinara and mozzarella were also a treat - so yummy. The floor to ceiling drapery covering the walls and the leopard carpet are so cool. It didn't seem too loud. Will definitely be back soon!

Loved visiting this space! Very cool vibes and chic decor with gold walls, venetian glass chandeliers, and gitchy stemware. Loved the cocktails and service. Definitely a pre-dinner or nightcap spot. Thank you to Michaela for excellent service and patience and time answering questions. Definitely try the bump, meatball sliders and arancini.

If you're like me, you've visited Iron Tail Tavern 2-3 years ago and never came back because as…read morecute as the place was and how prime the location was, the food was... average. Well, well, well.... ENTER AN ALL NEW MENU. If you love tapas and delicious cocktails... COME BACK and try this place again. We came in during Gin O'Clock Saturday afternoon and ordered 4 different speciality gin cocktails, the Ostra a la Media Concha (Oysters on the Half Shell), Gambas Mozambique (Prawns & Rice), Medula osea Quamada (Roasted Bone Marrow) and Aceite de Oliva para Mojar (Olive Oil with Warm Baguettes). Literally EVERYTHING was amazing. Our favorite was the Roasted Bone Marrow, it was actually incredible and I could have 3 of those and still want more. Also, when it comes to service, if you have Anthony, you are luckyyyy. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, informative and chatted JUST the right amount hahaha. He did a great job with recommendations, bringing food out at the right time and checking in with us. I will absolutely be returning during patio season... which... is essentially this week guys.. it's gonna be 65 soon!!

The food was great! Felt like a great alternative to Inizio with a slightly better price point…read more Ultimately we had a great time but something about everything was just a little off, which is why I gave it 4 stars. I feel like it has fine dining aspirations (and could totally nail it!) but just needs some small details to really reach it. Our food was great - perfectly cooked strip steak, chicken pot pie with the best buttery crust that I devoured and didn't leave feeling overly full. Crème brûlée that my husband said was one of the most flavorful custards he's ever had. Areas of improvement: the wall next to our table was all gouged up which, any other place I don't care (and it certainly didn't take away from the meal) but for a special occasion may be more noticeable. Olive tapenade was good but the baguette didn't seem fresh which is a shame being so close to so many great bakeries and the co-op. No small plates served with appetizer, no spoon with dessert, no steak knife with steak, bill wasn't accurate to order (I ordered a $37 item when I was told the pot pie was gone but they had another one left so I got what I wanted but CPP was $17 and the bill still had the more expensive item) NOW: these are such minor, minor things and I would hardly say took away from the meal meaningfully but for a Saturday night, just easy fixes to really elevate the experience. Bill was fixed quickly and all missing utensils appeared quickly, We'll be back for sure!

Most underrated restaurant in Buffalo. Been there many times and I have never put a morsel of food…read morein my mouth I didn't enjoy. The bone in pork chop is better than a steak. Clams casino is amazing. Great wine selection. If you are reading this, go there now

Expensive and rude. Never again…read more I came in with several other women, all in our 40s. We wanted to have a snack and a drink to end our evening together. We have been to JTs several times together over the past few years. We live in the neighborhood and try to get out every 4-6 weeks. While the food and drinks have always been expensive, last night was just over the top terrible. The bartender didn't want to serve us (or anyone for that matter). As we walked up, she said loudly enough for several people to hear that she just wanted to close up and go home - the bar wasn't scheduled to close for at least an hour and the bar area was still full! I told her we would be quick and asked if it was too late to order food. She reluctantly admitted that the kitchen was open. To make things easier, I didn't even look at the menu and just ordered a simple pizza. The bartender was so rude to us and treated us as though we were bothering her. As I said before, we have been there many times in the past. The food and drinks have always been overpriced, but it is close to home and easy. Being "older" now, look for places that attract those of a similar age and that have good service; the price is less of an issue. We were always able to look past the fact that this restaurant is overpriced (it is just fancy pizza and pasta) due to the convenience factor. However, I cannot stress this enough the bartender was awful. She was unkind, unprofessional, and entitled. When we spoke to the manager, he just blindly stood behind the woman that had previously announced that she didn't want to be there. Well, I don't want to be there any more either. And I would urge the same of you. If you want great pizza, go to Daniela. If you want great pasta, go to Amici. The prices are better. The food is better. And they want to serve you.

Beacon Grille - Pork belly banh mi. Two big slabs of pork belly on a perfect little baguette and all the trimmings, including pate. Late night menu.

I think everyone in town has heard amazing things about Beacon Grille. I live just a block away,…read morebut it's not exactly in our price range. We had a really late lunch Saturday and decided it was a good opportunity to try their late night menu for dinner...and opting to takeout makes it even more our speed. It worked out perfectly!! The late night menu starts at 10 pm. It offers most of their starters from the dinner menu, a small plate or two also on their regular menu, several different pizzas and a couple handhelds...and two desserts. There's plenty to choose from! We ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza, pork belly banh mi (star of the show), fries and the chocolate hazelnut torte. Everything was perfection! Possibly the best restaurant food I've had since moving here six years ago. The prices reflect the quality of the ingredients, the care that they put into preparing everything, and how delicious it is! I'm always griping about restaurant prices and quality of food here in Buffalo...that didn't even come close to being an issue with Beacon Grille. Everything was worth every penny! I want to go into great detail about each dish, but I don't want a TLDR situation. But trust me, it is worth it. Sampling the late night menu definitely inspired us to save up to actually eat in for dinner. I know we won't be disappointed! It's very exciting!
