    Everything is as advertised. All of the food was great. Homemade roasted peppers, homemade cannolis, even homemade dried chilies ... get the hint :-) . Everything super fresh in an awesome and unpretentious environment. The base sauces were not over-spiced or herbed (for me) and the portion sizes were generous. We had chicken parm, tagliatelle, roasted peppers, rapini chimichurri, lemon pistachio cannolis, and affogato and have more we want to get to based on this experience. I wish that it was closer to Halton ! We will be back

    Although set inside a hotel, this restaurant had such a cool vibe. Beautiful bar, open kitchen, modern decor, private nooks. The server was efficient, but didn’t exactly give his tables the warm and fuzzies. The short rib, potatoes and rainbow chard were to die for. So tender and flavorful. Had a bite of my husband’s steak and that took was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. Great little stop for our first night in Buffalo.

    Our server Laura V. was excellent. I ordered one the Specials, the 45 Day Dry-Aged Kansas City Strip. Was very good. Added Black Truffle Butter to that. Ordered a side of Sauteed Button Mushrooms, which was a very large order, certainly more than enough for two. All in all, a great evening out.
