Pick your noodle, pick your sauce, pick your toppings. And the premixed offerings they put together are amazing. Pop up to the counter to place your order and the super friendly staff will bring it out as soon as it's available. Not a large space, but well decorated and lighted. I really enjoyed my experience.

Checked this place out after an event…read more Pro's: Customer service from the young lady attending to us was absolutely fantastic. Attentive, appropriately apologetic, honest, and polite. Half of our group (was a total of four of us) enjoyed their food. The restaurant was clean and bathroom smelled very pleasant. Pricing was fair for what was enjoyed. The focaccia bread was the star of the show for me. My guests enjoyed the shrimp scampi, but felt the portion was small and the salmon was delicious. I did taste a piece of the salmon and was jealous as I can confirm it was delicious...wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked. Con's: The other half of our party did not enjoy the food. Unfortunately, I was in that bunch. It was quite surprising as the menu is not robust at all; so our thought was that the items that ARE on the menu must be a delicious specialty. I had the pork chops with pasta and spinach. The pork chop was tough and the pasta was bland. The sauce that accompanied the meal was tasty and moved the overall meal from a 'no', to an 'ok'. Won't be back, but encourage you all to check them out as the other half of our table truly enjoyed their meals.

While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, I had a very nice "Old Fashioned". We started with two dozen oysters. We received a couple of bad ones and they were promptly replaced with four new ones. I had the NY Strip and asked for "medium rare". The steak arrived and was perfectly cooked and had a very nice char on it. The steak was very flavorful and juicy. Service was impeccable. The restaurant was laid out nicely and there was plenty of space for our large group. Overall, I would say Giancarlo's will be a must visit, for when I'm in Buffalo.

The bartenders were all friendly, but Tom was particularly helpful. Checking to mate sure that everything was good and offering suggestions. I ordered steak in au gratin potatoes. He brought me cheese bread that was phenomenal. It was served with butter and some sort of sauce that I didn't try. I got a new york strip that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The au gratin potatoes were shredded potatoes. They were okay but definitely not what I would have expected at a steakehouse. I would not order them again. They had carrot cake available for dessert and it was delicious.

This is an overrated wing spot near UB's South Campus. Yes, it is halal, but trust me: there are…read morebetter halal wing options in Buffalo (looking at you, Alibaba). One of my favorite youthful expressions is diabolical. I know this sounds like a Karen, but it is diabolical that this wing place does not have free water. $3.50 for one bottle is ridiculous. This former bar/club-turned restaurant has a confusing layout with no clear signage about the specials of the day (the sign near the entrance is not accurate), directions where to sit, or where to pick up to-go orders.

After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

We came here for lunch because we seen so many great reviews but man, what a disappointment. The…read morebar area was nice, but the service and the food was not as everyone else described. I ordered the smash burger, my husband ordered the turkey sandwich. After we were waiting for our food for over 25 minutes, the server came over and said that he was just informed they don't have the turkey because they had an issue with that freezer. Ok, so my husband ordered the cheese steak because he was super excited for the bahn mi roll. My smash burger was alright, but the bread they use for their burgers remind me of those cheap buns you get from TOPS that just fall apart. The worst part was that they forgot the dog sauce on my burger, so I asked for the sauce, and THEY CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR SAUCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE ON THE BURGER I ORDERED. My husband made sure to tell me after we already left because he knew I would have fought it and our already 1.5 hour long lunch date would have been longer waiting for the refund... He ordered the cheesesteak and the sandwich was so small, and the "bahn mi bun" wasn't even toasted which is a signature for bahn mi bread. He said the flavor was fine but nothing to rave about. The worst part, for me, were the French fries that came with both of our meals. They were soooo heavily peppered that they were inedible. We asked for ketchup to try to make them tolerable, and they gave us a pre-portioned small cup of ketchup... You serve french fries with most of your menu, why isn't there ketchup on the table?!? Overall, It was a nice place to have on senrca street which used to only have the blackthorn and franchescas, but I would not eat here again.

Very nice spot in the Elmwood Village with niche homemade pasta offerings. The bread is to die for…read moreso you should definitely get that as an appetizer. Salads are a generous size as well. Pricy (but typical?) dinner so be prepared for that. I wish the dessert menu looked better but honestly, after a meal like that you might be too full for dessert! Smallish but comfortable inside. Wide, grand windows in what they call the solarium. If you want to be seated in that area at the front of the restaurant that looks out to the street, indicate that on your booking. Reservations highly recommended. Staff were friendly and helpful. We made it on resy and indicated that it was to celebrate a birthday and the host said "Happy Birthday" upon arrival so they do read those! Parking can be a little tough so give yourself some time for street parking on Elmwood or a nearby street.

All the food here was so delicious. There are many unique food options together with familiar Italian dishes. broccolini 5/5 whatever sauce they drizzled into this dish is so buttery, garlicky, cheesy. It makes the roasted broccolini so amazing and a must have. beef hanger steak 4/5. The beef hanger steak was so juicy. I couldn't taste the espresso marination. The potato bites are so chewy. The yellow sauce is sour and mustardy and not pungent at all. ragù bolognese has these beef bites that are fatty and tender. The tomato was so soft, not salty at all. The pasta was al dente, chewy. nonna's four-cheese ravioli has so buttery, cheeses filling with tender beef and pork. The filling spills out when bitten into. winter vegetable gnocchi was so soft snd chewy. They use the same yellow sauce as. This dish doesn't have much meat though. The parking can be an issue because there is no parking lot. Street parking only.

I've been to Quenelle three times since they opened, and it's quickly become one of my go-to spots…read morefor a cute night out. The vibe is definitely the highlight. Dim lighting, chic decor, and an intimate atmosphere make it perfect for date night or a girls night. It just feels elevated without being too stuffy. Food-wise, they've been super consistent every time I've gone. I tried frog legs for the first time here and was honestly surprised by how much I loved them, definitely better than expected. The escargot and oysters were also delicious, and the drinks have been just as solid across the board. The beef bourguignon wasn't my thing but I think that was a preference thing. I don't particularly love braised shortrib and it was a shared dish with my friend. I'm giving 5 stars because my most recent visit really stood out, the service that afternoon was amazing, and our waiter even sang happy birthday to my friend (I wish I remembered his name because he deserves the shoutout). It made the whole experience feel so special, and I'll be including a video because it was such a great moment. That said, if I'm being completely honest, I'd rate it more like a 4.5 overall. The other two times I visited, the service was good but not as attentive or friendly as this last experience. Still, between the consistently great food, drinks, and the beautiful atmosphere, it's absolutely worth it, and I'll definitely be back again.
