Indoor was very much reminiscent of a typical bar area on one side and then regular table seating on the other side. The day we went the weather was warm enough for their big doors to open up on to the patio seating out front. The bread and butter they served was delicious and we appreciated being able to try different breads. The shrimp and grits were delicious and they use really big sumptuous shrimp. I actually got pretty filled up and couldn't finish my seafood stew so ended up bringing half of it home. So portion sizes here are definitely big and everything tasted fresh! Their seafood stew is very generous with the seafood and the bread for dipping was delicious as well. Will definitely be adding this to our rotation here in Buffalo!

I have been lucky enough to be part of an all female, brunch group for at least 10 years. We try…read moreto get together for brunch at least 4 times a year and we have yet to repeat a location - let's just say, this place now holds a top 5 place in our hearts to the point that we talked about revisiting to our top 5 locations. Starting with ambiance.......2 full sized bars with plenty of tv viewing if that is what you are in to while there. The seating area is well lit with natural light and comfortable, well spaced seating. We were greeted by our quiet, yet smiley server, Raymond. He was warm, efficient and also gave us great recommendations (coupled with personal stories as to why they were recommended). We ordered drinks (their craft cocktail menu is one of the best I have seen) and then perused the menu. We went with Raymond's recommendation to order 2 cinnamon rolls for the table (we were leary as many places whose claim to fame for having the "best" cinnamon roll, fall short). We also ordered 2 of the multigrain breakfast sandwiches, a smashburger, Brasserie breakfast sandwich, and the biscuits and gravy (highly recommended by Raymond as well). Everything was OUTSTANDING! Phrases like "seriously the combination of this breakfast sandwich with pancakes as the buns is the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had." And, the cinnamon rolls!!! Raymond wasn't lying when he said they were the best. All 5 of us agreed that they were the best cinnamon rolls we have ever had, and lo and behold then had a conversation about what makes a good cinnamon roll - these check ALL of the boxes. We are still talking today about the great atmosphere, service and drinks/food at this establishment. And yes, there may STILL be talk about the cinnamon rolls. Don't sleep on this place!

My…read moreselection tonight was their Hefeweizen, which was excellent and I would highly recommend to Hef fans. I paired that with a tasty pile of sweet potato waffle fries and a side of honey for dipping them in. The fries were a perfect blend of crispy outside and soft inside, just a touch of salt, and the honey is genius (it's an extra $1 and well worth it). Several other beers on the menu look tempting too, and they make their own pizza dough! Another plus: the owners are friendly awesome people. I am very likely to return. The inside seating area is larger than it looks like from the outside, with plenty of seating at the bar and at tables, plus an outdoor patio. Restrooms are clearly marked and easy to access. There are several large TVs showing various sports games - no closed captions though. Music is nice, there was an upbeat jazz background while I was there. It's on the louder side but not too loud to have conversations. If you don't get lucky with a parking spot out front, there is a decent sized free parking lot just down the street and around a corner. This is another win for the beer passport!

The place is huge with ample seating at both the bar and tables. Almost everyone was at the bar and we wanted to taste our beers in peace, so we went for a table. My wife and I each got a flight, so I got to try most of their offerings. My favorites were the Steampunk Cider and the Winter Ale. Both were packed with flavor! The bartender was friendly and checked on us a few times, even though he was swamped by those at the bar. We didn't opt for any food from the kitchen, but were glad to see there's the option to chow down while drinking. An added perk was that finding parking on a weeknight was super easy. We were able to practically park in front of it. I would definitely return. Cool little spot!

We had a bunch of things but with 4 adults and 4 kids at a table, we were trying to keep up with them and not as easy to take pictures. The wait staff here was so great and accommodating with us and the kids. I ordered the Pineapple Hibiscus Cider. I am not a big cider person but this was absolutely delicious. It might be my new favorite cider especially when summer rolls around. I also ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was so good! It came with sweet potato fries which really stole the show for me. They had good flavor and went perfectly with the sandwich. My wife also got one of the pizzas which looked really great too! We will definitely be back for more. This is a perfect spot for a nice summer night too!

This place was so exciting when it first opened - good food, fun cider, great atmosphere.... It was…read moreimpossible to get a reservation. Now, I understand it's the middle of winter but there were empty seats everywhere on a Saturday night. I know why. They no longer have food specials Their pizzas are smaller than they used to be. They now charge $3 for a size of French fries that they used to have as the regular side option The food we had yesterday was... Eh. My husband got the Reuben and it was hands down the worst Reuben we've had in years. The meat was dry, the sauerkraut was dry and the thousand island dressing was non-existent. Horrible! My Diavolo pizza was okay... The flavor was good and the toppings were evenly placed but it was soggy. Like a pool of grease underneath it. It's a brick-oven pizza! How?!? Plus soooo small for a $20 pizza. I do like their cider and idk ... Maybe they raised prices and lowered quality just in the winter to try to make it by? But if that's your business model, you should re-evaluate. It was bad enough we likely won't be back

I recently had dinner at Quenelle with two work colleagues and we sat at the bar. Overall, we had a…read moregood experience. The bartender's service and cocktails were very good and the food was well prepared. The one issue that significantly changed my impression came when we received the bill. A 3% credit card surcharge was added without it ever being disclosed beforehand. I dine at higher-end restaurants frequently and have no problem paying for quality food, drinks, or service. However, I honestly can't recall ever being surprised by a credit card surcharge at the end of a meal. For me, it wasn't about the amount--it was about the lack of transparency. The surcharge was not disclosed before ordering. I hope Quenelle reconsiders this policy or, at a minimum, makes it clearly visible to guests before they order. Unfortunately, it left a bad taste and makes me unlikely to return. I'd simply encourage others to be aware of the surcharge before dining.

Plenty of parking in lot and on street. Seems like a fun place to have a drink at bar on a Polish music night. Special of the night was a lemon chicken. Tried that with a chicken parm and various pastas. Everything was cooked perfect. Chicken was crispy on outside and juicy on inside. It was good, just lacked that enhanced flavor. Can't pinpoint the note but needed more. One of party had the farmers cheese Peroigi which they liked. Bread and salad were average. Tried a limoncello and regular cannoli for dessert which were also average. Was happy with meal but I wouldn't need to seek this place out. I would say that you can tell everything was house made and was way less greasier than some Italian, which is a big plus.

After inquiring how to check in without a host, another guest told us we had to check in at the register and pay for the buffet and any drinks first .

Cocktails are priced quite reasonably - although we are more of bourbon fans - no cocktails like that on the menu. The space , is definitely five stars .
