Sear is closed, and the ownership group (including Freddie Jackson, Moorman and Terrence McGee (I believe that McGee was involved) are suing their landlord, Uniland.
Love a number of the places that were already mentioned: Hutch's, Roost, Mother's, Gabriel's Gate, Bar Bill, Elmo's & Mulberry's.
Honestly, not a fan of Chef's, and while I do like the "new" Colter Bay, I liked the "old" Colter Bay much better.
Few others: Grover's in East Amherst/Clarence (great burgers, wings and cheeseburger soup) & anything in the Gorino group of restaurants (Siena, 800 Maple, Rocco's & JT's)
