    Outstanding in every way! We went to the Buffalo Chophouse for an after-holiday meal to celebrate my birthday. We started with the Seafood Plateau for Two (amazing). It was just perfect. The kitchen staff really knows what they are doing; they cut the shells perfectly which made for easy dining! For our entrees, I had the 8 oz. filet mignon and lobster tail (also cut perfectly) and my husband had the 8 oz. filet mignon and two scallops. The bartender was so nice. She made a special martini drink for me that I asked for. As always when we go to the Chophouse, we have a wonderful time. You can't go wrong dining there! Of all the fine dining I've experience in Buffalo, and there are many fine restaurants, I always enjoy the Buffalo Chophouse as one of the very best.
