Party in North Buffalo!…read more Compact - Party space for up to 100-150 or so. North Buffalo, near Delaware Park and the Zoo, good catering, great, open, easy-to-use space. Street parking. Expanded - Next to the FLW Darwin Martin House is the Greatbatch Pavilion. This large open space has various pieces of historical info about the Darwin Martin House, but it also provides a venue for a cocktail party (up to 150), a formal sit down dinner (up to 100) or a lecture space. I like this space because it is long, open and has unobstructed views throughout. You can really see what is happening from anywhere in the space. You will overlook the Darwin Martin House from this (mostly windows) space. Its an unobstructed view. Gorgeous day or night. The restrooms are modern and functional. There is a space for coatracks, or you can have a coat check. I'm not sure if there is a choice of caterers, but the food I have had at a few events has been good. The service professional and unobtrusive. Its available 7 days a week for rentals. While they don't do weddings or wedding receptions here, they are open for anything else, including the rehearsal dinner. It unique and beautiful. You can decorate to make it "your own" too. Street parking. 10/2015

The thing I loved the most is the virtual tour that you can choose instead of a physical walk. What you see on that screen is EXACTLY what is in that building. The room was spacious.

I highly recommend this center, and look forward to doing more business with these ladies.

Yesterday evening, I was looking forward to spending a lovely time with family while enjoying a…read morebeautiful dinner at The Terrace, part of the Marcy Casino complex. In attempting to do this, I was breaking with tradition, as I routinely gather with family and friends at the Curtiss Hotel or The Richardson Hotel, ...being accustomed to their consistently phenomenal customer service. You can hardly imagine my disappointment and embarrassment with the treatment my guests and I received from the host/receptionist at The Terrace. From the moment we entered the venue, we were dismissed as vagabonds, even though we were elegantly dressed. My family, and I, accomplished purveyors of the arts, haute cuisine, and world travelers, had found ourselves brutally insulted and our value as guests to the venue, diminished by the arrogance and classless attitude presented when we requested to be seated for dinner. By the way, the place was nowhere near capacity in reference to already seated guests... in fact, it was pretty empty. We were told it was requisite that we needed to make on-line reservations in order to be seated and served at a table... no exceptions! An empathetic waiter and waitress, overhearing our predicament, tried coming to our rescue and suggested we may consider being seated at the bar. We were told the menu was the same whether we were at the bar or a table. When this waiter and waitress kindly tried to accommodate us with the suggestion to consider sitting at the bar, the host met their eyes with a glance of total defiance. We were so uncomfortable at the prospect of continuing to manage sitting at the bar, with only one table available for four people, coupled with that the discernible feeling of not being wanted at the venue overcame us. So, we proceeded to default to one of our usual venues, where class, accommodation and elegance always reigns, that being the Richardson. We will never risk giving that host at the Terrace the opportunity to show such disrespect to us again! I hope this review has others considering an alternate establishment that maintains the dignity of their visitors rather than disrespecting and disregarding it!

I've been here a few times: once, I crashed a wedding (unintentionally) and just recently I was…read morehere for the Pints & Pierogi event. This is a gorgeous space for weddings, parties and a variety of events. This review is from the point of view of an attendee and not a renter (I've never rented this space before), so keep that in mind. The building is setup with multiple floors and is split into multiple rooms which are basically super comfy lounges. There are fireplaces and a gorgeous deck on the top floor that overlooks Hoyt Lake. There are multiple bathrooms as well as open spaces where a DJ and a dance floor can be setup. Whether you're looking to host Buffalo's next big party or are looking for a personal venue for a wedding reception, The Marcy Casino is definitely a space you should explore! It's beautiful.

The food was good.However, they did not replenish the food quickly at all and seemed a bit out of sorts. I had a romaine leaf in a champagne flute with some very good Caesar dressing for a salad. A Nice beef carving station. Pasta that I could not eat as it wasnt gluten free but they did have things marked very nicely.Gluten free which I really appreciate. There is no potato or vegetable offering. So I just had a lettuce leaf and 2 thin slices of beef (ebough for a slider sammie), a small scoop of goat cheese topped with some beets which was super yummy but no crackers or anything with it. Andd could not eat the dessert. The bartenders were super nice and took very good care of us. I would say go and try it and ask about where to park if u plan on a med sized event. And make sure there is enough food and ask about dietary restrictions.

The space is set up and decorated beautifully! So many different spots to take pictures or just hang out. And then the actual banquet area was very spacious and looked very elegant with the string lights, tablecloths and cloth napkins. Everyone who walked in couldn't believe how great the space was. The food was also fantastic! We just had a regular dinner buffet with baked chicken, roast beef and sides, but everything was very tasty! The star of the meal was the chef selection of mini desserts! Everyone raved about it and everything was absolutely delicious! I could have eaten those lemon bars all weekend. The thing that put everything over the top was the courtyard. Everyone did not see it as soon as they came in but once they did venture outside, no one wanted to come back in. Good thing the program part of the banquet was already over. We took wonderful pictures. The fire pit was lit, and everyone just wanted to stay for as long as possible. I only wish we could have stayed past 10. The only downside was the A/V. But i think if you are bringing your own speakers and things, it would be fine. All in all, I would absolutely, unquestionably refer this space to anyone looking to have an event. We had around 120 people, and we were in the larger room, but even the smaller room looked great when I peeked in.

This hotel was so cool! The Richardson hotel used to be an insane asylum that sat empty for at…read moreleast 40 years before being renovated. The first floor is dedicated to the history of the asylum, propaganda about how the asylum treated people better than other asylums did at the time (but I don't believe that at all) and details about what it took to renovate the space to become a hotel. The asylum is but one building in a cluster of at least 10 hospital buildings. All of the rest of them are still abandoned and in disrepair. In terms of walkability to anything nearby and blight immediately surrounding the hotel, it's not the best location. But the architecture and style was so cool to explore late at night when everybody else in the hotel was fast asleep. And yes, this place is pretty pricey to stay at but somehow the day that I checked prices, it was only $118 per night. There are not really many amenities... Rooms don't have a microwave or a fridge, even though the king room we were in had ample space to accommodate both. They also don't have a pool. And although we slept in through breakfast, I've read reviews that it's pretty lackluster. Definitely not a place I would spend $250+ a night to stay in. But if I could find it for less than $150 in the future, I l'd definitely stay there again!

I found it unwelcoming that the lobby is now located on the second floor. No one is there to greet you when you walk in. That is a MISS in my book. I pride all things on personalization and experience. Now, having said that - I might understand the layout better knowing there is a "museum" on the first floor. I'm assuming that revitalization and historical grants may have come into play on that one. None the less, my stay was wonderful. It was quiet and relaxing and close enough to all things BUFFALO! The staff was great, helpful and accommodating. The restaurant in the hotel is no longer open but they are serving drinks and light fare in the bar. I did not have the opportunity to check that out. The grounds are beautiful and a must to walk around. Great hotel, great location, great price.
