Great place to get a drink with a nice ambiance. We absolutely loved the rotating bar. It is a unique experience for sure. I really enjoyed that they offered sangria made with sparking wine.
The bathrooms are kept very clean. I will definitely be back and 100% recommend if visiting Buffalo.

Impressive building and service. Waitress was great. She realized we weren’t in a rush and adjusted accordingly. All 4 of us enjoyed our cocktails, but were less impressed with the food. The plating was beautiful, but flavor was lacking (especially the entrees). We tried 8 different menu items in total and we were most impressed with the stuffed mushroom app. Underwhelming, especially for the price.

The staff was lovely, and the atmosphere wonderful. But the food was just not good. It was a Sunday night, but still very busy, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. We started with stuffed mushrooms which tasted as good as it looked, so we were excited for our entrees. My wife had the scallops. This was out of her comfort zone, and she was being uncharacteristically adventurous, so I can't really say if they were good or bad -- I'll say they seemed cooked perfectly, wrapped in salty prosciutto. However, they say stop flavorless mush they called risotto. Is that normal? If it is, I apologize, but the lack of flavor was shocking. Plus I imagined a certain TV chef screaming "This risotto is ******* ICE COLD!" I had a vegetable lasagna in a pepper sauce that was delicious, but the top layer was like leather. Just seemed like warmed up leftovers (you know how Italian leftovers taste so good after a day or two sitting in the fridge, but all the textures are off?). I see there's a culinary school next door and I'm wondering if this restaurant is a training ground. Anyway, it's very expensive, which is fine -- I was buying an experience. But I overpaid.

My friend and I just ate here, and the experience at the restaurant was nothing short of remarkable. The food was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. David, our server, went above and beyond with his attentive and knowledgeable service, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I do plan to eat here more often.

Very easy to make a reservation online. Came here for an anniversary dinner. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. The prices are expensive but the food is good. I like that the calamari is both rings and tentacles. You don’t see that too often. The steak was good but the rice that came with it was pretty bland. The tuna was good but wasn’t anything special.
