One of my Buffalo dining cards and a hankering for a burger brought me to Brennan's, The place is separated into a restaurant and a bar, they have separate entrances but are connected inside. Took a while to be seated even though a few waitresses and…More »

Went on NYE with my fiance for dinner. They had a special menu for new year's which was pricier than their regular fare (and had more of a traditional entree selection)

I was cruising around Amherst looking for someplace to go out to dinner with my fiance and his Mom. Remembering that this burger place recently opened and I had my dining cards with me we decided to stop here.

4.0 star rating
  Update - 2/8/2012

Much of my first reviews complaints had to do with the service. It may have been an unfair assessment due to the 'newness' of the restaurant. Since we had a dining card and were craving sushi, we decided to come here around 8:30 on a Tuesday night.…More »

Came here the other night for happy hour. It was pretty busy when we arrived ~5:30pm. The inside of this place is really beautiful, I love the ceiling and light fixtures above the bar. Even the bathrooms are decorated nicely, except the hand drier is…More »

I came to Acropolis with my family while they were visiting. My parents really love Greek food and reasonable prices so we decided to check this place out. I will mention I've been following their current battle with City Hall and it makes me upset…More »

Came here on International Women's day as a Hurrah to the head chef here, who's a woman. My dining companion had been here many times before but still had a tough time deciding what to order- the whole menu sounds good!

The cocktail list is intriguing…More »

4.0 star rating
  4/4/2012

When I moved to Buffalo and first met my Buffalo-native fiance he took me out to try some wings. Duff's, in my eyes, is the better of two well known spots to check out.

I'm a bigger fan of the original location on Sheridan but it's always much busier…More »

Okay Betty's, we meet again. I had a dining card to Betty's and I knew I'd have to visit once again. It wasn't good for brunch, so we went for dinner.

Service was a little slow and our server seemed new and very unsure of what he was doing. My fiance…More »
