Wow, I grew up on a sidestreet off Hertel by Elmwood, haven't been back for years. I didn't know a Bocce Club was there now!

 

Last couple years I think it went in. Two blocks from North Park Theater. I was back a few weeks ago, staying at North Park and Hertel, saw the sign and walked in. Couldn’t believe it. A full open air normal bar inside a large Bocce pizza location. Beauteous.

Bacchus on Chippewa. Extremely consistent and always excellent. http://bacchusbuffalo.com/

[Big Turk]

Depending on how "nice", Asa Ransom House, Salvatore's or Fannie's are all good choices.

 

If something a step down in price, I really like Black And Bleu

Oliver's on Delaware Ave is where I've had the two best meals of my life. Save room for dessert.

Ristorante Lombardo.

I chose the only one I have been to (Left Bank). Roost must be new (?) I looked it up, now I want to go there. I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of these options based on what I’ve heard about them.

Roost Hs a rotating menu. Sometimes adjusts weekly. Sometimes monthly. Martin C. The head chef was actually the original head chef at Left Bank. He later moved to Toronto and ran a kitchen there forever. Came back when Mike A lost his leg and helped in the kitchen at Tsunami. He opened Martin Cooks for a few years that was an intimate 15 seat Prix Fixed 10-15 course meal. That was phenomenal. He closed that and opened Roost, which is much more approachable. 

 

Just some background. New place but not a new chef.

I’ll give some love to toutant here. Had a great experience. Nice bar, good vibe. I wouldn’t by any means call it fine dining, but a good downtown location and great food. 

[Don Otreply]

Max’s Oyster Bar,  West Hartford Ct. 

[White Linen]

Texas Red Hots on Seneca St is a must. 

 

I've been gone from WNY for a while but I hit my favorites when I get back in town.   I always thought Ilio DiPaolo's was fantastic for Italian food. 

[BarleyNY]

I like Prescott’s Provisions in North Tonawanda quite a bit. 

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

Russells by far. It's not right in the city, but it's worth the drive out to Williamsville.

 

Best steak in WNY for reasonable prices and always excellent service

Fun fact, I worked there (valet, bus boy) for a few years in the mid 90's. 

 

Joe Todaro and his family we're regulars.    His wife, Cookie, required fresh lobster.   Had to make lobster runs to local seafood markets on a number of occasions while valeting.
