Solid spot for brunch! My friend and I came here after a nice walk at Delaware Park. I made a reservation but it wasn't too busy. When you sit outside on the patio, you get a gorgeous view of Hoyt Lake! For $25, you get an entree, beignets, coffee, and tea. Not a bad price. I ordered the shrimp and grits which came with sausage and shrimp. The portion was good and kept me full. I thought the flavoring was on point and the shrimp were big and nicely cooked. Check this place out. You won't regret it! read more

What a beautiful place. Right across the Albright Knox Gallery and next to a small lake. It's a large establishment with a great outside seating on the wraparound balcony and inside seating within the main dining room. Beautiful space. The waitress was personable and really loved the host. Just friendly people and makes the place special. The food is good. I don't think it's the best chicken cutlet I've ever had--the crust could have been more flavorful and take away the sauce. The fish fry was fantastic. Highly recommend it. Great batter and good fish. Parking is tough--street and some across so it's a bit of a walk. read more

Classy. Second floor balcony with a view. We came before seeing Shakespeare in the park. Got here early, which got us good parking and a seated a table without a reservation. Beautiful right on the water. Slightly pricey, but you get what you pay for. read more

They weren't seating anyone when we walked in as they were only seating at the patio and it was going to rain. That being said, we went to the bar and ordered drinks and food at a high top, and had just as good of an experience as we would have out on the patio! The bartenders were attentive to us and the margaritas were fantastic. The steak frites was amazing and the Buddha bowl was fresh and full of flavor. Service at the Terrace is always great and definitely one of the best places to enjoy a drink in the summer! read more

We went for the sunset happy hour after an outdoor concert this Thursday and were extremely disappointed. We were only looking for a small bite and this menu seemed perfect. But, sadly, the food and drinks we received were nothing like what is being advertised by the photos on the website. Our martinis were extremely dirty with only one olive, the oysters were served without their traditional accompanying sauces, and the truffle fries arrived cold and could not have been more than a total of 10 pieces - that's $1 per cold fry!!! Even more disappointing was the fact that we saw plates of these items go by that appeared to have the correct sauces, garnishes and much larger portions. It seems the happy hour specials are not being given the same level of quality as the other items in the restaurant. If The Terrace doesn't want to offer special promotions to their guests, then don't! That way you will not insult them by serving something that is so clearly subpar to what other diners in the restaurant are receiving. I regret that I did not take photos of how pitiful everything looked to accompany this review. Since no one came over to ask about our food/drinks, so we did not bring this to the attention of the staff while we were there. We had waited a very long time to get our drinks and food, and mentioning any of this seemed futile, as we didn't want to wait even longer for corrections/replacements. This is a beautiful location that we have enjoyed many times in the past. We were so completely turned off by this latest experience that, sadly, I don't think we will be returning. read more

Arguably the best patio scene in Buffalo NY. From the menu selections, seasonal cocktails and attentive staff you can drink in the view and enjoy the ambiance and experience of this gem. We loved the al fresco menu options especially the "adult happy meal." Can't wait to go back. read more

Went here on a week night, made reservations so we got in right away. You have to come here on a summer night and sit outside. Our reservations were at 8:30 which was the perfect time. We got to see the sunset and the weather was perfect. The food was just okay, but we didn't really come here for the food as much as we did for the views. We got the shrimp tempura, the chicken Milanese, and the lobster roll. The shrimp tempura was good and it came with a yummy sauce. My husband enjoyed his lobster roll. I found the chicken to be pretty bland. The service was pretty quick. I would come back here to enjoy a nice summer night. read more

Me and my Girlfriend went to the brunch and it did not disappoint. For only $25 dollars you can have an entree , coffee, tea or soda with a beignet. Not to mention this place does offer an unlimited mimosas for 1 hr and 45 minutes. The theme for the restaurant was already in line with Christmas giving it an at home feeling. I will definitely be coming back again read more

Excellent location, went for a catered event, will definitely come again for brunch. Service was good even with the crowd we had

We stopped in for brunch this past Sunday. Unfortunately they didn't have any tables available outside on the patio, so we sat at the bar. All very tasty - we got the eggs benedict and wicked tuna sandwich. And got a couple pomegranate spritzers as well. The bartenders were busy but stayed attentive for us! I will definitely make a reservation next time we plan to come, so we can take advantage of the outdoor seating/view! read more

We have returned to the Terrace many times. Reserve seating on the Terrace itself for the most beautiful views, but the ambiance inside is wonderful too. Parking is tricky, but they run a golf cart to shuttle folks up to the building. If handicap accessibility is an issue, keep in mind it is a historical building with lots of stairs inside and out, but most of the stairs are to the event space on the lower level. If the African Peanut Soup is on the menu, I highly recommend it. The chicken waffles, and truffle fries are favorites too. read more

I used to think The Terrace was the crown jewel of dining, now it feels like the crown has been replaced with a plastic tiara from a vending machine. What happened? Did they replace the chefs with robots programmed to only serve disappointment? First off, let's talk about the calamari. If I wanted something chewy and flavorless, I would've just chewed on an old shoe! The "dipping sauce" was ketchup, which felt more like a cruel joke than a condiment. Seriously, is this a seafood restaurant or a fast-food joint? Then there were the Brussels sprouts. I've had raw vegetables before, but these were practically still in the garden! Seasoning? Nope, not a sprinkle. They were about as flavorful as cardboard. The patio view? Gorgeous! Too bad the food didn't match. I felt like I was wasting a sunset while I munched on what tasted like culinary regrets. And for $75? I could've bought myself a small island instead, maybe even one with better food. Honestly, maybe the owner should spend less time opening new spots and more time rescuing this one. It's a total disappointment all around! If you're looking for a place to feel let down, well, congratulations, you've found it! read more

The food and setting was very nice. Friendly and attentive service. We will be back. There is a nice selection of brunch options, but not so much that it's overwhelming. read more

If you are fortunate enough to visit the new AKG in Buffalo and it's marvelous, cleverly-curated collection, treat yourself to a visit of The Terrace, in the park across the street. The drinks are great, the food excellent, and the view, is time travel back to the Pan American Exposition. Sit by the lake in Summer. Sit by the fire inside in winter. You'll find the service is friendly and helpful. -Scott read more

As a last minute group of seven, we decided to have lunch pre-wedding dress shopping last Saturday. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a welcoming gentleman at the hostess stand. Slowly but surely, we gathered together and were escorted to a great table with plenty of room for all of us. Our waitress extraordinaire was absolutely delightful! She knew when to stop and check on us and held great conversations. There was something for everyone and the prices were affordable. The only thing I'd change is that my waffle was a bit cold. Not a single one of us had a complaint or needed anything else. I will be back! read more

Food was excellent! The view is spectacularly relaxing! Would highly recommend for brunch!

The patio was great with the light breeze and the view of the park. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. The stuffed peppers had great flavor and not too spicy. Their take on brussel sprouts was unique and the flavors meshed well together. The Tuna nachos were very tasty. The presentation of the charcuterie board was pretty. They had a steak sandwich on special that was huge and melt in your mouth good. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Overall, a great dinner from start to finish. read more

Went here on a Saturday when we were in town for a Bills game.. it was terrific.. the patio is an awesome place to relax.. I had the chicken and waffles.. and a few espresso martinis... my wife had the lobster grilled cheese.. and bottomless spritz.. since the game was lousy, this was by far the highlight of our trip. read more

Beware: no parking lot or street parking, especially on a day when the Albright Knox is busy. The good news is they have someone with a golf cart that will pick you up from where you parked and then drop you off. The view on the patio is what sells it- you can see the Albright Knox across the pond and the whole area is just beautiful. They also had live music which was very classy. People were generally dressed business casual with a couple of people in casual attire. The servers and host were friendly and accommodating. We got brunch meals- the brioche French toast (great flavor but thin and hard to cut, not exactly brioche-y) and the chicken and Brie sandwich (the grilled chicken was overcooked and rubbery, but there was at least half a wheel of Brie on it! The cider on tap was good and they gave me a mock tail version of their liberty lady which was delicious. Over all, was good but could have been better with some small changes. read more

My husband I checked out the Terrace on Friday during restaurant week. We walked in to live music on the piano which was a nice surprise. We sat quickly. They did have a limited (but large) menu during restaurant week. We selected the option that came with a bottle of wine, two appetizers and two entrees. For apps we got French onion soup (very good) and arancini (also very good). I ordered the shrimp and grits as my entree and my husband ordered the filet (which was a $15 up charge). We were very happy with our selections. Would love to come back in the summer to sit on their patio and have dinner. read more

I cannot say enough good things about The Terrace at Delaware Park. We had our wedding there June 28th. Selecting this venue was the EASIEST and BEST decision we made during our wedding planning process. We rented out the whole facility and it was well worth it. You get to work with Kristina and Joey to plan everything along the way. The two of them and their teams are remarkable and made planning and executing our big day so easy. We had a waterfront ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour in the restaurant level where they passed our signature drinks and served delicious appetizers. Our guests LOVED the patio for our cocktail hour and there was plenty of space for everyone. The food was incredible and they pride themselves on not serving traditional banquet food. We selected the filet, chicken Milanese, and seasonal vegan dish as our entrees and our guests loved them. The staff was amazing working with our day of vendors. Whether it was helping set up our tables, genuinely wishing us the best on our big day, or the bartenders literally running to help get a stain out of my wedding dress, their staff is amazing. The Terrace truly has it down to a science for weddings and events and I would recommend them to anyone considering! read more

Just went to a baby shower here yesterday and was impressed with the ambiance, service, drinks & food.

Nice view and solid food. Would love to return here however they recently changed to a no dog policy, disappointing for sure, but that's what happens when irresponsible dog owners try and take their dogs to restaurants. Fortunately the host was able to get us a table with Brody this time. Pot roast was tender and delicious, such an underrated meat, just needs to be cooked properly which this was. Potatoes were tasty, could've used a few less onions but overall a solid dish. Chicken and red velvet waffles gave a generous portion with crisp waffles and a spicy kick to the chicken breast. Sometimes restaurants make a bigger portion to overshadow the low quality food but this was not the case, just the right size. And like nearly every restaurant they seemed a bit short staffed for Sunday brunch so took awhile to get the check but it was a nice day outside to wait. Pro tip: If you're looking for a spicy Bloody Mary look know further! It'll get you all toasty inside! read more

Brunch after a night out is perfect here on a nice warm day! We ordered many things, Bloody Mary's, coffee and teas to start... all were good... the garnish on the Shrimp Bloody Mary is perfect! We ordered Eggs Benedict which came with hash brown potatoes... they were generous but lacked a lot of flavor ... well presented, beautiful and totally edible with a bit of salt and pepper... they could have even used a tad of hot sauce... The red velvet waffles were beautiful but honestly tasted like a nice homemade Belgian waffle that food coloring had been added too... served with whipped cream and berries... again beautiful presentation but tasted just average. The brunch burger was huge and delicious! Lots of toppings, oooey-gooey egg... yum! If you don't like runny eggs just ask for them to be fried well done... The chicken and waffle was really the star of the brunch! And it was the fried chicken that made it amazing... best flavor ever! Crunchy, so well seasoned...mmmmm The service was very attentive as well today! read more

Ambiance, food and service is top notch. The only negative experience is trying to book our family of 6 for the patio. It has been all set, then upon arrival they put us inside. Plenty of other parties on the patio. We arrive early. It's happened 2 out of three reservations last year, so it's our no longer go to place for Spring/Summer family dinners. Still love it, my husband and I will go only as a couple, now. read more

My first time at The Terrace at Delaware Park, a warm and rainy Wednesday night, August 18. Beautifully situated near the Albright Knox Art Gallery. We arrived in late daylight in time to see the "floatmingos" on Hoyt Lake. Flamingo shaped paddle boats. We had an enjoyable drink at the bar, attended to by a pleasant and personable barman. Perhaps the best rum martini I ever had. And then on to dinner outside on the terrace. In all, the location, ambience, décor all delightful, the food plentiful and tasty, the evening warm and humid, the service exceptional, the company incomparable -- I really enjoyed this dining experience and hope to visit again someday. Perhaps in time to paddle a flamingo around the lake. read more

Recent wedding and the staff was amazing. Food was 7/10. Beautiful view and locations. However... NOT handicap accessible. Both elevators broken and not in use, if a handicap person could make it down the two dozen stairs once inside more stairs to access the bathroom. In addition the venue did not have enough chairs as promised and in a contract for outside wedding service. Parking is also non-existent for those who do not want to park on the street. There are three or four handicap parking spots, a couple hundred feet from the stairs mentioned above. Again, the waiters and bar tenders were super friendly, accommodating, and nice, stars reduction for above issues. read more

My fiancé and I came here for brunch and it was delicious. I got the brioche French toast and it came with potatoes. The citrus and blueberries were perfect for it.

I do recommended having reservations for brunch. We love this venue so much overlooking Hoyt Lake. It is beautiful and will be our wedding venue in 2024! read more

Lots of things can happen down by the Lake, Picnics, Fishing, Kayaking, a Walkaround, reading a Book on a Nearby Bench or socializing with Friends. How about a having a Memorable Dining Experience or even having a Wedding of your Dreams. The Terrace at Delaware Park overlooking beautiful Hoyt Lake will give you such a Scenic Point of View that you're looking for. This was a nice end of the Summer treat for me, my Grandma Carol, Uncle Rick and our guests Ed & Mary Garrity. When we arrived it just so happens we stumbled upon a Wedding that was taking place in the Banquet Hall below us, while waiting for Ed & Mary to graciously arrive we mingled with some of the Wedding Guests and sat out on the Outdoor Patio enjoying the view of the Lake. Once Ed & Mary arrived, we can enjoy in each other's company, we started off with Water, I got myself a Watermelon & Jalapeno Margarita with Orange Brandy, Agave Lime and a Salted Rim. The drink was more savory than Sweet, the salt on the Rim enhanced the Taste, I was hoping for the Sweetness from the Watermelon to balance out the heat but it didn't, but I like that I picked out the chunk of Melon was soaked in Tequila (any Fruit would be good soaked in Alcohol). To help start off the Meal we split a few Appetizers, Rick got himself some Chargrilled Oysters with Garlic Butter, Grilled Brussel Sprouts on a family style Plate tossed with Fresh Dill and a Roasted Garlic Yogurt. Crispy Mini Cabbages enhanced with a this Creamy, Sweet and Nutty Yogurt sauce and the Dill brightens it up without it being too overpowering. Whenever I see a view of the Water, I think of Fresh Seafood and they had a Ceviche of Cod, Shrimp & Scallops. It was clean tasting mixed with Mint, Cilantro & Lime to highlight the Fish and some Red Onion for Texture, they also had some Wonton Chips on the side to act as a Crunchy Vessel. Before the main Courses came out, I got myself a Shooter, but this one had an Oyster in it. Quite a coincidence since Oysters have their own natural liquor in the Shell, it was at the bottom of the Glass. Filled with Tequila, Tomatillo Salsa, Lime & Hot Sauce, the moment I knocked it back, I got that Briny Flavor, heat from the Hot Sauce and sweetness from the Salsa, it was almost like a Bloody Mary. For our Entrees, Mary kept it simple with Chicken Milanese with Arugula & Fennel Salad, Parmesan & Balsamic Glaze, Rick & Grandma were on the same wavelength when they wanted to get their Hands dirty and order Fish Tacos packed with Beer Battered Cod, Coleslaw, Tomatillo Salsa & Lime, although while the Fish was crispy, they forgot to put the Jalapeno's on Top. Ed got himself one of their Best Fish dishes, Grilled Redfish over Dirty Rice (riddled with Andouille Sausage) with Grilled Asparagus and topped with Jumbo Lump Crab. This fish came out like it was on top of a Mountain with a Charred Sear that was loaded with Cajun Spice, the Andouille Sausage gave the dish a Surf n Turf feel to it. You also wanna talk more about Surf n Turf, my Entree was a Rockefeller Prime Rib Pork Chop over a Pernod & Parmesan Risotto with Bacon Lardons, Sauce Au Poivre, Sauteed Spinach and topped with Cornmeal Fried Oysters. This Grilled Jurassic sized chop, Crispy plump Oysters, Creamy Risotto with Hearty bits of Spinach throughout, the Lardons add another level of Crunchy Texture and the Sauce brought a Peppery Punch (since Au Poivre is French for Pepper Sauce). I'll be completely honest, none of the Desserts sounded interesting to me, so I wasn't gonna get my Sweet Finish that I usually do when I go out. Instead, I ordered another Cocktail the Brazilian Bird which came to me in a Small Chalice, Ruby Red with with a white Foamy surface and some Lemon Peel floating in the Drink. It consisted of Dark Rum, Cachaca, Campari, Pineapple, Lime & Simple Syrup. With every sip you take you get Sweet and Sour, also not sure what was Brazilian about it either but like a Bird it swooped down my Throat. Another 40 minutes of Sitting and Socializing, then we decided to take a walk by the Lake to work off our Meal. After walking half a mile, we decided to make way back to our Cars even one of the Restaurant Managers was kind enough to offer us a ride via his Golf Cart. That's good Hospitality, the Terrace is (in my opinion one of the Best Waterview Restaurants in Buffalo). Whether its for a Meal out, Gathering with Family Members or Friends, a Wedding, Graduation Party or even somewhere to visit after checking out the Buffalo History Museum. The Terrace could be your kind of Place. !!! read more

My brunch experience at The Terrace is one of the best brunches I have had. Even though i followed the advice on the website (walk-ins encouraged) there were not tables available on the terrace and my companion and I ended up sitting at the bar. I think we lucked out because the bar was very charming. Lovely ambiance, good wine list, cocktails galore and a super menu. I wasn't feeling the fancy cocktail vibe so I ordered a simple chambord kir royale. It was perfect. The menu is small but strong. I chose shrimp and grits and it was terrific. The gravy was excellent, four large shrimp and a smattering of andouille sausage. The stone ground grits were a great accompaniment. I got a little taste of my friends eggs Benny...spinach and roasted tomatoes were a classy addition to the standard pea meal bacon and English muffin. All in all an A+ experience. read more
