Gardenview - West Seneca

A quiet, we'll run restaurant. Good food, plentiful portions and reasonable prices. Fish fry, reuben sandwich are my favorites but save room for the desserts.

We enjoyed our dinner here. I had the Jack Daniels steak, it wasn't my favorite but it was good. Also had dessert since they had such delicious looking desserts. They were also pretty good but I don't believe they are made in house based on something the waitress said. I had carrot cake which I didn't love but it was light on the cream cheese frosting which is personally my favorite part. They are right across from a major truck depot so I'm surprised there wasn't more people. I think there was only 3 other tables while we were there. Overall I would go back. Prices were good and the food was okay as well.

The sampler souvlaki salad was very tasty. You get a bit of chicken, beef and gyro in the salad. I loved the combination of flavors, but was disappointed they didn't have tziki sauce. The turkey panini was good and came with crispy, delicious fries. Great lunch specials prices.

We had a group of 8 come in on a Sunday evening. There were very few other guests in the restaurant. Of all the places in Buffalo, my daughter chose GardenView for her graduation dinner, and I honestly wish she would have chosen somewhere else. On the positive side, our server was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Food has usually been good during past visits both here , and I usually come for the eggs Benedict. For dinner yesterday, the breakfast entree, the burgers, pizza, and banana pepper pasta dish were all good from what I could tell. However, the two plates of nachos were half the size they have been in the past (also a dish we always order). We ordered 3 French onion soups, and only 2 came out. The server addressed it as quickly as she could, but when it came out, the cheese charred. I just carved it off, because I didn’t want to complain, but the soup was so salty I could barely eat it. Then meals came out right after. The sesame orange stir fry bowl was too spicy to eat even though there was no indication of a spicy sauce or red pepper flakes in the menu description. It was taken off the bill, and they offered a replacement meal or dessert instead but I didn’t want to be eating while everyone else was done. The was beef on weck was overcooked (no pink at all) and on the dry side (no aus jus), and strip steak was ordered medium but came out well done (again, no pink at all). Everyone else chose to not say anything about their issues, so these were my observations.

Our party of 4 got there at a few minutes after 8 PM. Close to closing time. Our waitress Dawn was very nice and took very good care of us. Of course, we each ordered something different, but everyone said their food was good. Thank you.
