Location: 4 / 5 Following up Johnson's Landing with Castaways, we went back-to-back on the two best sunset views of any wing restaurants in WNY. It was a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Emily, our waitress was also very attentive and helpful. One downside was the bathroom - and that's all I have to say about that. Presentation: 3 / 5 Providing ample carrots and celery along with a solid blue cheese helped save this score but you aren't going to make a Splash with paper and plastic trays. Meat: 5 / 5 Perfect size with no weird shapes or bones. One small observation, there were a disproportionate number of drums over flats - we thought the two went hand-in-hand, like Bosom Buddies. Cook: 9.5 / 10 This score is Big. These were crispy, and hot. Almost impossible to criticize. Standard Wing: 12 Nice flavor. These had more buttery taste than we're used to but not in an unpleasant way at all. We don't know how you do That Thing You Do, but keep doing it. The only downsize was that they were a tad under-sauced. Specialty Wing: 9 Excellent showing here overall. They're truly in A League of Their Own - Hot gold was a favorite. - Hot wing was also great but as has become typical, we wished the medium was the hot. - Garlic parm was... interesting. If you like garlic, pucker up. - Everything wing was unique with each bite a little different. You never know what you're going to get. Overall, what a pleasant surprise. I can't believe I doubted you Castaways. Wilson, I'm sorry! 42.5 / 50

(Will update this review after visiting in the future to try the food as well.) The place is directly across from Riverworks so you can sit in some of their lounge chairs and enjoy the boats and kayaks going up and down the river while enjoying music playing at some of the local establishments nearby.

It's a perfect spot to stop at if you're downtown, over near the river, at Riverfest Park, or go there just because. They serve food until 9 pm, which is great since, especially on a Sunday most places are shutting down. For now, it's bar service and servers are always floating to ask and help if you need anything else. There's a few rows of lawn games, a large amount of seating and also a decent area just to walk around on the sand. I had a shrimp and birria taco, as well as some chips and guac to share with a paloma. The shrimp taco was well seasoned and they are flour tortillas so bigger than the small corn tortillas elsewhere. I definitely recommend hanging out here in the summer!

I recently visited this place and had a great experience. I asked the bartender for something that…read morewasn't sweet. She inquired about my preferences, and I mentioned I liked margaritas and old fashioneds. She suggested a drink that was exactly what I wanted - not sweet, and I was very happy with my choice. I also tried the Ruby Red Kolsch, which was a tasty grapefruit-flavored beer. We wanted something light to eat since we were hungry but had dinner plans in one hour. The bartender made a great suggestion for a light appetizer. Customer service was good and friendly. The pricing was also reasonable: we had one beer, one mixed drink, and an appetizer, and our total was just $21.

Unfortunately, while I was there, a table next to me decided it was appropriate to be disrespectful and rude to the server and while something like that can put a damper on others experiences, it was handled so well by Desi. I don't know what they're paying that girl, but I can guarantee it's not enough to put up with that the way she did. 10/10 service and 10/10 recommend giving her a raise! I'm not in the area frequently, but when I'm back, I will definitely be returning here for dinner.

The restaurant was very very hot inside. Halfway through the appetizer I started getting very warm and sweaty. Allison was our server. Super sweet and friendly server. She checked on us as needed, which was perfect. The food wasn't anything super memorable though. Firecracker shrimp 8/10 Pretty good. Shrimp was cooked well and the flavor was good too. I do wish the cabbage was coleslaw, just makes it a tiny bit better of a dish. More edible than plain cabbage. Chipotle shredded chicken taco 8/10 I somehow ended up getting 1 beef and 1 chicken. Allison was very sweet after letting her know my taco was beef, she offered another chicken taco for free. When I turned it down, she also offered another drink. *Moist chicken, and a lot of it! Definitely not chipotle flavored though. The rest of the toppings were good additions. A chipotle sour cream might be nice, and a little bit more to reach the perfect wet:dry ratio. *The beef was good too, piled high again. It had a bit of noticeable congealed grease in it though. Beer battered haddock taco 6/10 The fish was cooked good but the taco as a whole was suuuper dry. There's nothing wet on there besides the little tiny strip of sour cream. To make this better: turn the cabbage into a coleslaw, and add a crema or tomato salsa or something else to balance out the wet:dry ingredients better.
