If you are looking for a casual yet upscale dining room experience with excellent service, eating and drinking, this is your place. the atmosphere is perfectly transformed into an old factory in lofts and business. a great place to take someone from the city to show how much buffalo has progressed.
This is the second time I dined there, and honestly, I think the first time when it first opened, was better. This time around, our drinks took forever. Our oysters were ok and had a bitter aftertaste almost like it wasn’t as fresh. Our tenderloin tips were really ordinary. The grilled peppers were bland, and the only saving grace, is the main course. I had the snapper and that was the best meal of the night. It was cooked perfectly.
We did the $80pp tasting menu, worth it. Trying different surprise menu items was exciting. Drink selection is great. Service also wonderful.
The restaurant is very welcoming. We started with drinks at the bar (great Happy Hour specials! and the bartenders were very attentive and nice. Our waiter was great he even made suggestions of things to add to our dishes. The food tasted very good and very fresh. The service was excellent! The prices were reasonable. I highly recommend it!
