    We had a wonderful Friday evening dinner, recognizing Fridays can be a challenge. Derrick, our server, provided the right amount of coverage. Our dinner choices were delivered timely and wonderfully prepared. The seafood stew was excellent as was my partner’s duck. The pace was fast-moving as it was a Shea’s night. And the valet parking is a plus.

    Roasted beet salad was disappointing. Obviously done in a ring mold. Very little goat cheese. Greens were limp and warm. Sadly because the remainder of my meal was very good. Service was also very good.

    Dined here before a concert at Shea. Valet parking was a treat but the food and service was outstanding. Nice well rounded menu and some delicious features. My wife and I will be back!

    Service and atmosphere were excellent! Food was delicious but found a few of the dishes to be over spiced. Still in my top 5 in Buffalo and highly recommend dining here.

    It was Valentine’s Day, so working in the restaurant business, I can understand it was probably a very hectic day. Food was just alright, nothing stood out to us. Service was great, drinks were good!
