Overall: 3.6/5
Food:3.6/5
Service:4.0/5
Adjusted overall:3.2/ 5
The friendly and casual atmosphere while serving gourmet food make this restaurant unique. The menu has so many interesting and delicious choices that it makes a revisit a must. The prices are a bit high, thus the lowering the overall adjusted rating. The stuffed banana peppers are one of their specialities and a great appetizer. Be sure however to have plenty of water on hand as they are spicy.

What a nice place this is, and we had never heard of it. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. The food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. The bottled wine is a little pricey- the cheapest bottle was $30. The do have certain special nights when you can bring your own bottle. Jess couldn't make it, we had a some tasty creme brulee in his honor.

We had a wonderful time at this great location. The food was excellent. The price is a little steep, but was reasonable when we used our Entertainment Card.
Unfortunately, the waiter was not at all friendly. He was all business and never cracked a smile. It but a damper on the otherwise comfortable atmosphere.

Nestled the West Side of Buffalo is a great place to eat. We all enjoyed this meal. Even Jesse who had the flu. Love the bright decor and friendly staff. Wednesday night they offer free glass of wine with your meal. This certainly made the price very attractive. The food was also very good. Unfortunately the service was only fair, marred by a long wait. Perhaps as they get more popular they will add staff.

Overall 2.8
What can I say, we went to a Chain. We felt like we were in a factory, the tables are packed so tight that you can hear many other conversations. Unfortunately in a place so large, the intimacy is lacking. The food was good, perhaps a little salty. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating
The cheesecake, however was to die for. The servings are large and we shared two cheesecakes for 6 of us. The prices are fair.

Unfortunately we had technical difficulties this evening. All ratings for the evening were "lost".
Mike's palm pilot was misbehaving and apparently the numbers are in cyber space.
Overall we had a nice evening. The waitress was very accommodating. Many of us tried the special drink offer- a great Carmel apple martini. She even shared the recipe.
Food was great, however Jess did not care for the cordon-blue. The steak Joseph- the house speciality was very tasty. The atmosphere is always welcoming and comfortable. The price is also right, be sure to use your Entertainment Card.

Well it has been one full year of restaurant ratings and this was our anniversary dinner. We started at Tantulas and wanted to return here for the special event. This year, however fell short from our previous experience. Is it perhaps that after a year of restaurant hopping we have become more critical? We now notice everything.! Location, comfort and food quality all play a part.
Overall our experience was "fair". The bouillabaisse was excellent and as usual the pizza did not disappoint. The decor is quite pleasant, but something was lacking with no music. The waitress used abbreviations such as "Soco" for Southern Comfort and "apps" for appetizers that made her appear as if she was trying too hard. She was, however efficient and attentive. The price is good, thus improving its overall adjusted rating.
