    Lamb Ribs
    Ryli C.

    Fantastic triple date night here this past Saturday! We had to make a reservation about a month and a half out, but well worth the wait. The ambience is moody, cozy, upscale - perfect for a date night. Our waiter guided us through the menu and recommended some great options. The menu is built a little different than normal, with one section of proteins that were smaller and on their own, a pasta section, and then larger entrees. We appreciated that our waiter explained it to us at the start! Our table started with some cocktails and wine. They make a great dirty martini (with feta stuffed olives, YUM). For appetizers we tried the Suppli, Daily Vegetable (fried sweet potato), and Crispy Octopus. I think my favorite was the Suppli, yet all of it was tasty. I had the Lamb Ribs. Melt in your mouth delicious. Had a little taste of the Lumache, Radiatori, and Hanger Steak. Tough to decide what was the best! Then we ended with dessert even though we were all pretty stuffed. Tiramisu, Basque Cheesecake, banana gelato, and chocolate gelato. And tried the I'm Working Late dessert cocktail as well. Do not skip dessert!!

    Mira was worth the wait! The owners of this beautiful restaurant simply never disappoint, but they really outdid themselves here. The ambience is absolutely magical, warm, welcoming, buzzy, and beautiful! This is a perfect spot for a date night or special occasion. Favorite dishes/Recommendations: -THE LAMB RIBS! I don't even usually like lamb and these were a MUST! -The Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini -Mira's Signature Hummus -Sweet Potato (if it is the daily vegetable when you visit) -Any and all of the cocktails!! -Fried Halloumi in Brik -Tiramisu Dessert

    Smoked salmon sandwich and orange juice
    Shailja N.

    I went here for brunch on a Saturday morning. No reservations are needed for brunch, you can just walk in and get in line to place your order at the counter. They give you an order number and you can go sit wherever you like, there are plenty of tables there so that's not an issue. The servers were really nice, my order arrived pretty quickly. I had ordered a smoked salmon sandwich and fresh squeezed orange juice; the sandwich was really good, although I felt that for the price point, portion size could've been bigger, since it doesn't come with any side of fries or fruit. But overall, Mira is a great spot in the city, and the location is pretty good too, you can just take a stroll around the elmwood ave afterwards.

    Wow! This spot is the hardest reservation to get in town, but it's worth the wait. The food was spectacular, probably some of the best in Buffalo. The ambiance is fun and lively, yet moody and romantic. I would definitely come back.

    Culurgiones
    Nathaniel P.

    While I was at Mira, I forgot I moved to Buffalo for a second - it felt like I was back in the East Village. Attractive, dimly lit, vibey place with solid bites that I think I'll bring out-of-towners to. Prices reminded me of NYC too LOL The menu was pretty eclectic/pan-mediterranean. Table faves were the hummus and pita, the Pansotti squash-filled pasta with brown butter and truffle, Culurgiones - potato filled pasta with tomato sauce, the hanger steak and mushrooms from the grilled section of the menu, and for dessert, the tiramisu with malted milk mascarpone. There was a "Taste of Mira" experience where they decide what you eat, which I hope to try soon. I also enjoyed their cocktails. Got a lamb fat-washed bourbon based drink called Keen's Special. I've only ever had one other lamb fat-washed drink at Theodora, which is one of my favorite cocktails in NYC. Also had the Little Cosette, a vodka-based fig leaf and orange liqueur cocktail that was pretty crushable. Interestingly, the combo tasted more like grapefruit and I enjoyed that. I think Mira is now one of my favorite spots for cocktails in Buffalo too. Some small things that irked me but weren't deal breakers: we waited about 25 minutes for our table, even with a reservation; we didn't get serving utensils when it was family style; and it would've been nice if we got new plates between courses. Also, the Greek Salad on the menu isn't a traditional Greek salad with beets. It's a beet and feta salad with Greek salad vinaigrette (not bad just didn't expect it). Overall, I think Mira is a great addition to Buffalo's dining scene and I'm excited to try future menus.

    Hanger steak
    Madison B.

    Overall great experience the food was amazing and our servers were great. We got the Suppli for an appetizer which was amazing. I had the sausage pasta and my boyfriend had the hanger steak and everything was great.

    Chicken thigh
    Kristin C.

    Overall a good experience and would go back. Pass on the Greek Salad , but everything else was delicious. The tiramisu was a 10/10 and the Culurgiones was so unique - hand braided pasta stuffed with sweet potato. The hanger steak and chicken thigh were really flavorful and had a unique flavor. Nice ambiance. Our server was very detailed and observant as well.

    Italian truffle  gnocchi
    Holly D.

    The ambiance here is really nice, and the drinks were good. You can tell they use fresh ingredients--the limited menu feels thoughtful and upscale. Prices are on the higher side, but that's expected given the style of the restaurant. We did experience some confusion with the bill, though. Three of us ordered the same truffle gnocchi special, and the price wasn't mentioned when we ordered. Most pastas on the menu are in the $25-30 range, so we assumed the special would be similar-ish. When the check came, two of the truffle gnocchi pasta dishes were charged $50 ($25 each), and one was charged $60. When we asked the server, we were told the dish was actually $60, but they would honor the $50 price for the other two. It was very confusing, especially since all three dishes were the same. We didn't want to bother the busy server again, so we just said forget it, paid and left. Overall, the food was delicious and the atmosphere is lovely, but the billing confusion took away from the experience. It would be helpful if specials at this price point had their cost listed upfront to avoid surprises.

    Crispy octopus, mafaldine, lamb chops, and tiramisu BuffaliciousBites gives Mira 5 stars!

    Rum cake and chocolate budino

    I was fortunate enough to dine here with my fiancée for Valentine's Day. There ended up being an issue with our reservation, but they were extremely kind and were able to accommodate us. Staff were very friendly, atmosphere was perfect for a date night, and the food was fantastic. The hamachi crudo was outstanding, the hanger steak and lamb chops were also incredible. And the rum cake and chocolate budino were the perfect way to end the meal. We will definitely be coming back!

    tiramisu
    Kelly R.

    so happy to get to go to this place so early. our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu and answered all of our questions thoroughly (i had a lot since i wasn't sure what a lot of the ingredients were ). my cocktail was bright and refreshing and paired well with the meal. each of the plates we got was just the perfect size. i don't have a huge appetite so i was happy i could sample so many dishes. my favorite was probably the fluke fish and crispy octopus. the gelato was the perfect night cap. would definitely go again for a special occasion!!

It is a top notch restaurant that uses high quality and fresh ingredients and adds gourmet touches that are higher end but still work for the Buffalo crowd. And the portions are usually generous. I like it here but a lot of the menu options don't work for my diet. So when I come it's for someone else's occasion but it's still very much a treat. I will say that the staff is always accommodating and helpful to ensure I find something to eat. Most recently I was able to enjoy a delicious special that was grilled prawns with mescaline and vinaigrette, supremed oranges and grapefruits and artichoke hearts filled with herbed goat cheese. It was delicious and filling enough I was able to eat it as my main. The flavors were unique and blended well together. I was full but it was still light. The herbed goat cheese stuffed artichokes were delicious and a real treat. I'd hope to have them another time. The citrus fruit touches were a nice contrast to the richness of the cheese. If you want a delicious meal and a nice place for a date or girls night definitely check this place out.

We had a drink at the bar and then we're seated at our table. The waiter was cordial, friendly and informative. We ordered the stuffed mushroom appetizer, the Carrot Papardella, and the Penne w/ grilled steak "au poivre". So good! The bread with the tomato sauce was fresh and the sauce had an amazing flavor. The stuffed mushroom with artichoke stuffing was very rich and flavorful. Lots of stuffing. The Carrot Papardella had large chunks of fresh seafood and great sauce. The penne with steak was very good. The marsala sauce was very rich and filling but flavorful with that sweet marsala wine sauce. Steak was tenderly cooked perfectly. The waiter brought out a great slice of complimentary birthday caramel ganache cake. Great surprise. Our water glasses were never empty, the bread was plentiful and the meal was so tasty, fresh and flavorful. This place has a good amount of seating but reservation recommended for busier times. It's a nice dining room with a bar at the entrance of the restaurant. They have daily specials and rotating dessert specials. Highly recommended and always worth the visit!!

While we had a 5pm reservation, in hindsight it probably wasn't necessary as we were seated right away and quickly greeted by our server, Allie G. To start, I ordered the Apple Cider Mule (mocktail) which was festive and delicious while my brother went for the Logan Mule (so Buffalo). Naturally, we wanted bread (what I thought was a given in an Italian restaurant). Sadly, it was $3 for warm bread, which felt a little rude, but of course I ordered it and devoured it, too! I also started with the mushroom bisque that was on special and it was fantastic as it was rich, flavorful, and the kind of soup you want to eat slowly so it lasts longer. For my entree I chose the Crespelle while my brother got his favorite, the Brasciole. The food was truly the highlight of the evening. Everything was prepared well and very, very satisfying. I would say that the service, unfortunately, left a bit to be desired. Not terrible, but not great. I hate having to ask another server to bring a box, the check, etc. because our server was no where to be found. There is free parking somewhere, though we only noticed the sign for it after we had already paid to park. That said, the atmosphere at Tappo is always lovely and the portions were generous for the price. Of course, I'd absolutely return - especially to try one of their fun igloos someday!

The restaurant has a very generic modern bar scene vibe with roll up doors and the bar dominating the space. The staff were friendly and promptly directed me to the bar for my take out order, which was mildly delayed. The spaghetti and meatballs were basic. The sauce left much to be desired and a basic jarred sauce is more enjoyable. The shrimp were properly cooked, but the risotto did not shine. The dish lack cohesion and it was as though they cooked rice and tossed it in a flavorless sauce. The accompanying lobster sauce was desperately needed, but underdeveloped. The dish needed significant seasoning improvements.
