Had a good experience at this restaurant overall. We were seated right away at the first floor on a…read moreSunday evening. The first floor is casual dining, second is fine dining, and rooftop is bar only (kinda sad we couldn't eat on the rooftop). The atmosphere was great -- not too loud and baby/stroller-friendly. Portions were great for the prices. Would highly recommend the Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza and Bourbonzola burger (pizza was big for one person!). The waitstaff was kind, helpful, and gave us fast service. The only negative was the general location of the restaurant and look of the building. It seemed sort of industrial, even though the inside was far from that. A bit out of the way and close to a couple other buildings that hurt the ambiance in my opinion. Good experience! Will likely come back after dinner sometime for drinks overlooking the lake from the roof.

Came here for a work lunch. Was on the nicer side so we opted to eat outside. Which I forgot just…read morehow much I hate out door seating as the bees were awful. The space is very nice large. Believe two or three floors. The staff was very nice. The food was just okay to me. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it. Nothing said wow. But again nothing was bad. If I lived in the area I'm sure I would frequent the bar area and grab a bite. If this makes sense it gave me more bar food restaurant vs like a food food restaurant? Come have a beer or two grab a bite and go. But for lunch and dinner, would not be my first choice to go to. But I had the jerk chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. The chicken had some flavor and little heat, but my chicken was way smaller than my bun so I had more bread than meat. The table got a salad and burger and fries. It was it was a half pound burger but it definitely didn't look like that. I also ordered two wood fire pizzas to go. A regular with sausage and their hot honey pizza. These were actually decent! Good sauce, could of used little more on it but overall pizzas were the best part of the food experience.

We went to the Mansard Inn for Easter Brunch. We had been there years ago for dinner and thought it…read morewas decent, and we had heard it had been refurbished since then. Unfortunately, that really wasn't our experience. The biggest issue was cleanliness. The entire place felt tired and dirty. The carpets looked heavily worn and stained, the booths had food stuck in the crevices, and overall it just didn't feel clean or well maintained. The dishes and drinkware didn't help. The coffee mugs, which were once white, were badly stained and dingy looking. My mother actually rubbed something off hers, and the waitress explained that it "wasn't dirty, just stained." Not exactly the best first impression, especially at $55 per person for brunch. We ordered mimosas after that, hoping things would improve, but even the champagne glasses looked questionable and were filled to noticeably different levels. Then the food arrived, and unfortunately it only got worse. Everything was served "family style," but there was no menu or explanation of what was coming. The meal felt random and poorly executed. Some highlights included: * A single store-bought pastry cut into pieces * Mac and cheese that tasted like boxed Velveeta * Deep-fried breakfast sausages * Ham that resembled warmed-up lunch meat * Three shrimp total for two people * A bowl of stew meat that felt completely out of place * An Eggs Benedict attempt that simply didn't work To make matters worse, some of the silverware and plates appeared dirty as well. By the end, we honestly couldn't wait to leave. The automatic $20 holiday service charge on top of the already expensive brunch really sealed the experience for us. Sadly, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had in quite a while.

Overpriced, Unsanitary, and Unprofessional - A $500 Disaster…read more ​I rarely leave negative reviews, but our recent experience was truly appalling. We visited with a party of 11, including my 88-year-old grandfather. Despite the high price point--our bill was nearly $500--the standards of service and cleanliness were non-existent. ​The Issues: ​Accessibility & Cleanliness: There were zero handicap parking spots available. Inside, the restaurant was filthy; there was old food and trash under our booth, and the bathroom was in a state of neglect with toilet paper left on dirty surfaces rather than the holder. ​The Environment: We were greeted by stained, soiled paper menus and a swarm of fruit flies that stayed with us throughout the entire meal. ​Poor Service: We waited 50 minutes for basic dinner salads. My grandfather's coffee took 45 minutes to arrive. The waitress appeared visibly annoyed that she had to walk around our booth to serve us. ​Cheap Substitutes: For the price of a strip steak, you expect quality. Instead, we were served Aldi-brand steak sauce. When I asked for A1, I was handed a filthy, food-smeared bottle that was nearly empty. ​The "Refill" Incident: Our initial drinks were served half-empty. When we asked for refills, the waitress told us to finish our current glasses because they weren't free and she "didn't want to charge us." In the end, we were charged for them anyway. ​Overpriced Food: The French Onion soup is served in tiny metal bowls, not crocks. To top it off, we paid $22 for two "slices" of cheesecake to go--one of which was a literal sliver of cake. ​While the food itself was decent, no meal is worth this level of disrespect and lack of hygiene. I will never recommend this establishment.

I chose the shredded chicken fried, it's covered with cheese sauce & I got the Mexican rice, beans and house sales. The house salad is lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole.

Normally, we love eating here. However, our last two visits have been less than stellar…read more When we ate here a month ago, our waiter was MIA for about 40 minutes at one point. We watched two tables get up and leave after they sat there with nothing but drinks and one basket of chips for god only knows how long. As I'm writing this review, we are currently sitting at our table, waiting for our food and the stereo is cranked so loud you're unable to hold a conversation without screaming at each other (see video, this was the regular, non-celebration related volume). Our waitress had to ask us to repeat ourselves TWICE trying to order because it's so incredibly loud. However, If there is ANY type of celebration, be it a birthday, someone orders shots, someone orders a margarita tower, hell, if someone walks through the damned door... they somehow turn the speakers up to a 25 out of 10 and blare the most obnoxious club style music at an earsplitting volume, with sparklers, light wands, LED club signs, and light up trays. They even have someone wear a creepy giant sugar skull mask. In the hour that we have been here there have been 22 "celebrations" including 3 separate ones at the table behind us, yes we counted. The real kicker? Every time there's a "celebration," the entire wait staff has to participate. My husbands beer took 20 minutes to get to our table, and our food took 40. If you ever want to feel like you're inside the speaker at a Bills game, then this is the place for you. They should really consider leaving an Excedrin with your check.

I think this might be one of my favorite restaurants for taking a family in the Buffalo area! They…read morehave a menu filled with variety (but not overwhelming), plenty of different dining areas, and I especially love sitting outside in the summertime. The service was superb. Christina was one of the kindest, most genuine waitresses I've had in a long time. Their kids' menu prices have to be the same as they were at least five years ago, just $5, including a drink and a side. You really can't beat that! I was torn between their corned beef and chicken fingers, so I secured that I could get a finger from a shared meal and then ordered the Mother Superior. I substituted grilled sourdough since I'm not a fan of Kimmelweck seeds. This sandwich was loaded with tender corned beef and absolutely delicious with the melty Swiss, creamy Russian dressing, and lightly cooked red onions. We also ordered Combo #2 to share, which has several Buffalo favorites: chicken fingers, wings, beef on weck, and waffle fries. It was a LOT of food for a very reasonable price. My boys said the wings were amazing and perfectly crispy. There were plenty of waffle fries to share, and the chicken tenders were nice and crispy too. The kids loved their meals: mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, and chicken tenders. The fries were just okay, but when you have a vessels of blue cheese and a salt grinder on the table, you know they're going to be just fine. And then there's dessert... Very smart marketing to have a display of their homemade desserts right on the table! Our waitress mentioned that everything is made by their pastry chef, so of course we had to order a couple. We went with the pistachio cheesecake and peanut butter pie. The peanut butter pie was so smooth and creamy, and the kids loved the cookie crust and puddle of chocolate sauce. One of them actually said it was too much peanut butter. I had no idea there was such a thing! The pistachio cheesecake had a cake bottom with a thick, rich layer of cheesecake on top. We really liked the addition of lemon, it added a nice freshness to balance everything out. I absolutely love this spot and highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food, a great atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Oh, and there's a popcorn machine in the bar area, which the kids made approximately 17 trips to.

The staff is always…read moreincredibly friendly (though the older dude we had last time was a little too customer service-y no matter how much we tried to just talk real) and the place has a close quarters but still calm and collected vibe. The food and drink are always exceptional. Whether you order off the regular menu or grab one of the specials, it's always exceptional. We've been several times now and gotten the cajun pasta, meatballs, fish of various sorts, crab rangoon appetizer, etc. Everything always comes out in a reasonable amount of time - never too fast or too slow - and is always solid. The cocktails are also on point with both the classics and a couple modern takes here and there. If I had to pick on anything (aside from trying to sell A5 Wagyu for $160 and claim it's breaking even), is the menu they put on their own website. Someone took a grainy cell photo and put it up there. Come on guys, some has the digital original. Just copy/paste. All in all, fabulous place that I can't say enough good things about. Make sure to get a reservation well in advance or you won't get in, especially on a busy night!

Friends of mine called to make reservations and asked for outdoor seating because the husband is undergoing chemotherapy and is severely immunocompromised. When told there was no outdoor seating they requested a table in a corner or away from the more congested areas of the restaurant. They were told no accommodations could or would be made. Shame on you! The food, the service, and the ambiance all become irrelevant when you fail the most important test: the ability to show a little human decency. Rest assured, I will never eat in your restaurant again nor will anyone I know. And your lucky my Italian grandmother is not still alive or I'd have her cast a spell on your heartless establishment.

We were extremely disappointed with our recent dinner at Hamburg Brewing Company. We had a party of…read moreeight, and from start to finish, the service was very poor. When our entrées arrived, only four of the eight meals were brought to the table. We had to remind our server that the remaining meals were missing. About 10 minutes later, only three more meals arrived, leaving one person still without dinner. Once again, we had to ask for the final meal to be brought out. No one at the table should have to eat at different times because of such poor coordination. The food itself was also underwhelming. The steak fajitas were especially disappointing--they consisted of a few somewhat tough pieces of steak with no peppers or onions, which are basic ingredients for fajitas. The steak hoagie was similarly sparse, containing mostly shaved steak with very few vegetables. To make matters worse, the fries served with the meals were cold. Our appetizer was also mishandled. The charcuterie board arrived with salami, cream cheese, and cheese, but no bread or crackers. We had to ask for those to be brought out. We also had to request small plates because none were provided. Finally, throughout the meal, dirty dishes--including our appetizer plates--were never cleared from the table, leaving us surrounded by stacks of dishes until we were finished. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the disorganized service, multiple forgotten items, cold food, and lack of attention to basic hospitality, we expected much better. Unfortunately, we won't be rushing back.

Warm, cheesy, and truffley. I don't notice the spinach much and there's some artichoke in there too. The sautéed onions in there were great. Love the pita that comes with it for dipping too. Fish fry 9/10 Good cook on the fish. Nice and crispy, though it does get a little soft pretty quick. Homemade tartar sauce was good. Dill flavor came through the most for me.

For the food, I was really looking for something comforting and they definitely have a lot of great options. The brisket was my choice and I'm very happy I got it. It was very tender and the mashed potatoes were out of this world! The pizzas were on special from 4-6pm (I think) for buy one get one 50% off. I need to order that next time because they were brick oven or wood fired (I'm not sure) cooked and looked absolutely amazing!
