Buffalo Eats

After 3 1/2 years and visiting over 340 restaurants, you’d think we would have covered everything in Western New York by now. But there are plenty of great places to eat that we haven’t visited because of a variety of reasons. With Carmelo’s Restaurant, it’s simply because we are never in Lewiston. Last summer we […]

I grew up only a couple miles away from Butterwood’s first location in West Falls. Alli and I have a lot of memories of heading down there with our families for dessert, especially their apple pie. When I first heard about their move to the Hotel Lafayette, I assumed they would be opening a larger […]

When I started Buffalo Eats in February 2009, I had no idea what I was doing. I had never attempted writing a restaurant review (or even really read them for that matter) and there were so many foods that I hadn’t tried. But over the last three years and 300+ restaurants, I’ve gotten better at […]

Today’s post is written by guest blogger Alexandra Farrington, we hope to post more articles from her in the future! Thanks Alex! For months the rumors surrounding Remington Tavern have been flying. As a big fan of both Chefs behind the restaurant, Mark Hutchinson and Paul Jenkins, as well as a big fan of oysters, […]

I’ve had some pretty amazing meals in the 3 1/2 years that Buffalo Eats has existed, but the meal I had at Mike Andrzejewski’s new restaurant Mike A at the Hotel Lafayette was probably one of the best if not THE best I’ve ever had.  I realize that I have gotten to know Mike personally […]

Alli and I don’t dine out in group-form too often, most of our restaurant adventures are just the two of us.  But every now and then it’s fun to meet up with a couple other friends or family members and have a good night of dinner and drinks.  About a month ago my friend Christa […]

UPDATE: O’Connell’s has since closed their doors and Chef Kevin O’Connell Jr is now working in Los Angeles. Our final meal of Local Restaurant week was a weekend dinner at O’Connell’s American Bistro, a long overdue visit to a restaurant that has been on our wishlist for years.  Both Alli and I were looking for […]

UPDATE: Since writing this article, Le Metro has closed. Coco By Le Metro is currently open on Main Street in Downtown Buffalo. When you go out to dinner as often as we do, you begin to develop some pet peeves.  Having an out of date or poorly designed website is certainly high on that list.  […]

Long ago I always wondered how Bacchus fit into the Chippewa scene; it never seemed like the place was packed and I just assumed only bars that catered to 18-25 year old’s would prosper in that area.  Years before Soho Burger Bar was getting attention for changing their format from niteclub to gourmet burger restaurant, […]

Alli and I decided to visit Empire Grill during Restaurant Week.  We’ve been meaning to try Empire Grill out for a while but for some reason or another always ended up eating somewhere else.   We didn’t capitalize on as many deals as we had hoped for Restaurant Week but considering our visit to Jojo’s […]
