The bartenders were all friendly, but Tom was particularly helpful. Checking to mate sure that everything was good and offering suggestions. I ordered steak in au gratin potatoes. He brought me cheese bread that was phenomenal. It was served with butter and some sort of sauce that I didn't try. I got a new york strip that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The au gratin potatoes were shredded potatoes. They were okay but definitely not what I would have expected at a steakehouse. I would not order them again. They had carrot cake available for dessert and it was delicious.

We keep coming back…read morefor good reason: spacious parking (no anxiety-ridden ramps or stressful parallel parking on Buffalo streets), superb service (I love the place cards that introduce each server), and truly drool-worthy food. We ordered a variety of appetizers, and the meatball and Mediterranean platters remain my favorites. You must try their homemade pita--light, airy, and with just the right chew. They absolutely know how to do steak. My side of almond broccolini unexpectedly stole the show. The bright burst of lemon was the perfect complement, cutting through the richness of the mashed potatoes and filet. As for dessert? Hands down, the chocolate mousse cake. If you're getting it to go, be sure to ask for the coffee gelato before you leave--don't miss out on this perfectly smooth, rich treat. Our guests are still talking about their meals!

I made reservations that morning for an early dinner (happy hour daily from 4-6pm!). We grabbed a drink at the bar and brought it to our upstairs table overlooking the expansive whiskey library.

I got the filet, cooked perfectly. My partner got the chicken which was so juicy and flavorful. We shared plates and loved every bite. The service was great.

I had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and broccolini which was perfect. My husband had the NY Strip on top of pasta in a creamy red sauce and for dessert we had the tiramisu to order and that was incredible. Highly recommend.

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!!

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.

I got the cavatelli in vodka sauce and my husband got the short rib pappardelle.

It is blue crab, Maine lobster and a Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese fondue. We could not finish the fondue, so we do have a doggy bag!!! The fondue is very good. We liked both.

Both were cooked to perfection. The almond cookie with fresh fruit was to die for... I never had such an exquisite bite.

Heather, our waitress, was superb. Very attentive and gave great insight on recommendations. Very friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy her job. The restaurant itself was beautiful.

The steak, although pink, the crust was burnt and tasted like nothing other than burnt meat, just not good. The crispy gnocchi on the plate tasted like fast food mozzarella sticks. I was excited for the 12 hour tomato but it was just super lemony. We also got the potato pave, the dill sauce on it was good but barely there, the bacon jam on it smelled and tasted terrible, which made the entire thing inedible for us. The cocktail was not good. The bread itself was similar to Panera, so it didn't feel elevated, but the oil was the best part of the whole meal! Maybe it was an off day for them!
