Marotto's Restaurant

Reviewed By buffaloDJB - buffalo

My wife and I had a truly awesome dinner at Marotto's last night.

We started with a Bombay sapphire martini and a famous grouse on the rocks. The cocktails were delicious and generous portions.

To start we had a dozen clams casino and stuffed peppers. The peppers were great and the casinos were some of the best ever.

For dinner, we each had a scallop dish. I'm dreaming about my dinner today. The scallops were huge, perfectly prepared and had an incredible flavor. The icing on the cake was Amanda our server. She was obviously an experienced fine dining staff member.

The bill was reasonable considering all the drinks and several courses. The scallops would have been double the price and half as good at a steakhouse. 5/5 stars.

The owner's harmonica serenade of Irish Eyes for St Patty's day was the perfect touch.

Dick and Jenny's

Hand crafted food with Louisiana flair.

Reviewed By rovingcarole - buffalo, ny

On a recent frigid night in Buffalo a group of us chose Dick & Jenny's for several reasons, including personal recommendations, diner reviews and restaurant critic reviews. Service was friendly and consistent, juggling different arrival times, and paying attention to course arrivals, as not everyone chose the 3 course tasting menu. Speaking of which, is hard to beat. for 28.50 you get to choose from three satisfying groups of offerings. I myselft went for two appetizers and a cup of gumbo. I had the crab cakes and the andouille "cheesecake". I observed the jambala disappear with no offers of tastes to anyone else. The duck was reported as good but not remarkable. The rebel chicken and ribs looked inviting, no offers to share there either!
this is good, honest New Orleans cooking. I would return in a heartbeat for breakfast, lunch or another dinner. Also the drinks are potent and tasty. Alas, had no room for dessert. Hopefully next visit!

Ted's Hot Dogs

Reviewed By Jodi H

Ted's is a great place for hot dogs,hamburgers (cheese),other sandwiches,kids meals, fries & onion rings. I live near the restaurant, so we stop in a bit. It is just a wait in line place. No table service, you order at the counter, watch them grill up the food, make the rest of the food if you want, lol.. take it to go, or go to a table & eat it. They ask you what you want on your dogs/burgers. There chili sauce is famous for everyone who likes that on their hot dogs. They have all your condiments,silverware,ect. & adorable little kids meals with their own little cooks hats.

Webster's Bistro and Bar

Reviewed By teresaxo - Wheatfield, New York

The food was delicious, the atmosphere quaint, the staff friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our drinks from the bar as well. This cute little restaurant has a nice menu with a selection of French favorites as well as other items. My husband thought the steak dinner was fantastic. This is a nice place to go for dinner with your significant other, your BFF or with another couple. (I think no more than 4 people at a time would work best.) We will certainly go again.

The Village Inn

The Village Inn is located in the historic Ferry Village in Grand Island, New York. Its quaint, homelike atmosphere and close proximity to the Niagara River make this restaurant a popular meeting place for locals, as well as for those visiting off island. In 1988, owner Michael Carr took over The Village Inn that was previously named Lippens Grill. He changed the name to The Village Inn, which was inspired by his father. With the help of his friends and family, he renovated this 1890's building to make it the cozy eatery that it is today. At The Village Inn, we pride ourselves on creating all of our food from scratch. We are best known for our unique, culinarily adventurous soups as well as baking all of our desserts in house from homemade recipes. From our moist and sweet bread puddings to our spicy lemon tabasco clam chowder, we strive to please all taste buds. The Village Inn has customers from all over the area that come in to experience this one of a kind restaurant. You are sure to enjoy your meal served by our light-hearted, welcoming wait staff while engaging in our distinctive dining atmosphere. All of us at The Village Inn are looking forward to your dining with us while experiencing our historic niche in Ferry Village.

Stopped here for dinner after a visit to the Falls. Absolutely loved it. The host made me a fruity martini that was delicious! Started off with some fried pickles that were excellent. Then I had the seafood croissant with a sweet potato. So, so good!!! Highly recommend! Cozy little place, super nice staff!!

Keep going back and it gets better and better. The best German restaurant in Western New York. Try the salad; a delicious dressing on fresh greens covering a delicious surprise! I love the Jaegerschnitzel, a crisp, breaded cutlet with a savory gravy with fresh mushrooms. The spaetzle is to die for as is the Black Forest cake. Sehr, sehr gut! great service too. They serve Wahrsteiner Dunkel Bier!

Remington Tavern

Reviewed By Leeza217 - AMHERST

My husband and I have dined at Remington on several occasions. It has never let us down. Always fresh seafood, love the mussels and they have an extensive oyster bar. They always have delicious specials, including a freshly fish option and beef option. We enjoy their filets very much as they rate in our opinion with the top steak
Houses in the area.

One of my fav thing to order is a specialty martini! Always yummy!

Hideaway Grille

The Hideawaygrille is a casual fine dining restaurant You will find a very attentive wait staff and a fun atmosphere.

Reviewed By MackBuffalo - Buffalo, New York

Went here with the family and was very satisfied. I started with the charcuterie board special and it was very filling. Some smoked meats, fruits, great flavorful cheeses, breads and crackers. I had a nice fresh side salad with dressing, nothing fancy but all crispy fresh veggies. I also had the French onion soup (broth was a little salty for my taste but still very good) and the Ahi tuna. The Ahi tuna was very good. Fresh and perfectly prepared. A touch of wasabi and soy sauce and I was smiling.
Someone in our party ordered the fish fry and it was very good. Crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. Fries seemed a little overcooked and dry but I'm not a huge French fry fan so it didn't bother me. Server was very friendly and knowledgable and the food came out in a timely manner. They have renovated and the restaurant looks great. Clean, cozy and a comfortable environment. Ample off street parking and easy to get to. I haven't tried it myself but I hear the spinich-artichoke dip is really good.
I will definately return to the Hideaway Grille. Food quality seems consistent and the service was friendly and professional.
