Restaurants near Big N Plaza Shopping Center

Last night was my husband's and my first time ever going to this restaurant and in my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Buffalo we have been to. It is our Anniversary and we had Victoria (Tori) for our server and she was so knowledgeable of the menu. I am Gluten Intolerant and she knew right away what I could indulge in and what was off limits. She had the specials memorized like a boss and was so attentive. The steak was cooked to perfection and the lobster risotto was delicious. The Limencello Margarita was the best margarita I have ever had, and I love tequila and margaritas! They have little biography cards on your table about your server, which I think is a great touch. I can't wait to come back to Buffalo and come back to Giancarlo's and request Tori!

Your food is always amazing, from the appetizers to desserts! Our server was Red, very polite and accommodating!

Highly recommend black and blue if you are looking for an amazing dinner and atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Sleek decor without that sterile all metal look. I would not recommend it for the little ones, not because the restaurant discourages it, but as this is a dining experience, it is not geared for children. The other customers are there to enjoy their dinner. Tonight, just as we were leaving parents brought in a little one who shreaked several times and I noticed some customers startle. For parents reading this I do indeed love children, have 5 and 9 grandkids and twin great grands. This grandmother is just giving her opinion.

Russell's Steaks Chops & More never disappoints. My husband and I celebrated my birthday. We were greeted by Mr Salvatore, who is always so gracious. Our waiter was Humberto, who was wonderful, patient and friendly. His service, along with the staff helping in our area, was absolutely perfect. We started with wine, then the world's most delicious coffee (our cups were never empty), before moving on to our entrees. We both had Steak ala Russell, which was cooked to perfection. Had to pass on dessert because, honestly, we couldn't manage another bite, and we have enough leftovers for our Christmas dinner. Thank you Russell, Mark and Humberto for the best birthday date night. We'll be back soon.

Service was attentive and friendly. Food was good.Setting was nice.
