    The place was very empty. Maybe 3 other tables. Our service was very slow. Over 20 minutes to receive our first round of drinks. The Manhattans were made very poorly. It's disappointing at $17.50 a drink. The espresso martinis were also made with too much cream. We were deterred from ordering apps due to the slow service. Overall, the food was good. People enjoyed their steaks, chicken thighs, and salmon. The chicken picatta had very low quality chicken and a very runny/oily sauce. Would not recommend. A pianist played the entire time we were there. A bit loud for such an empty restaurant. Hopefully, the service can improve. Not worth the cost currently. Higher end pricing.

    Our server was not very engaging. The meal my husband ordered was fair---chewy meat---the beef that was listed for $44. And then he was charged $52 on the bill. It was later corrected. My salmon was good. Not crazy about the singer on the piano. Unlike E.B. Green's ----we were charged $10 for valet parking. The guy was hard to understand and it took quite some time for him to get our car. Don't know if we would return.

    Excellent menu. We were pleased with the portion size and quality. The acustics were great and we were able to converse at out table with ease. I have never had as large a bowl of french onion soup as I did here!

    Started off with a warm greeting upon entering a semi empty resturant. Waitied 15 minutes for our server to show up to the table. We ordered our drinks that took another 10 minutes for her to come back and say they couldn’t make their signature apple pie old fashioned. At that point we ordered a regular old fashioned and our meal. Drinks took another 10 minutes to arrive from that point. French onion soup was very good. Mac and cheese was good as well. Ribeye was severely undercooked and I watched the cook barehand it around the plate. Server never checked to see if food was good. She never offered to refill our water. Service was so bad to the point we had to go to the bar to cash out. Waitress totally forgot about us. Save your money and go someplace else. Buffalo has a lot of good steak options extremely close by to this place.

    Will give them another try in future. Drink glass had a chip in it. Never a thought to comp the drink. Steak was undercooked. Only at around the edges. Server never asked if this was to my liking. Food came way too fast. Wasn't finished with onion soup when steak dinner was served. Way to rushed for this type of restaurant. Love the atmosphere. Will give it another chance in the future.
