    Spicy curry pasta
    Jose A T.

    Went there last Tuesday with my work team for a holiday celebration. The food, the drinks, and service was exceptional. Jacob was waiter, he was very attentive and provided excellent service. The maple old fashions and appetizers were delicious.

    Beet Salad and a Lemoncello Spritz

    We decided to venture out on a Late Sunday afternoon and drove toward Lockport where I'd been quite a while ago. What a nice treat! We shared cocktails and a couple of appetizers on the patio. The food was good and our server, Nicole, was very attentive and personable--- while still managing a number of other tables. We'll be back!

    Pan-seared sea bass, shrimp risotto, broccoli & frangelico sauce

    I really love this place! The food is always so delicious, no matter what we order. The service is always friendly and very efficient. I also love the beautiful decor! I had the sea bass special and it was very good. Nice & light but very tasty. For dessert, I had the carrot cake which was very moist, but had just a little too many walnuts, otherwise very good! My daughters had the chocolate cake which I sampled & it was delicious! I also sampled my daughter's filet medallions & they were very juicy and delicious. I also really enjoyed the tropical mocktail. We had the pretzel bite appetizer & it was very soft and tasty! I also had the jalapeño corn soup and it was very filling & yummy. Hubby had the French onion soup and he loved it. Everyone loved their entrees! Can't wait to go back!

    Well this was a very interesting place.. a very historic ambiance.. great place to go if you're visiting Lockport, with homestyle cooking... We went when they had their Oktoberfest specials .. I started off with their Chicken Schnitzel with potato pancake and dumpling the chicken schnitzel was delicious but the dumplings and the side of broccoli was cold And the potato pancake was not crispy.... Off the regular menu we ordered the Thanksgiving turkey. Consisting of fresh turkey breast stuffing garlic, mashed potatoes, cranberry and string beans .... Oh we made the mistake of ordering a well-done cheeseburger,now it was too dry.. So I would suggest a medium well Burger. If a burger is very lean and it's well..it will be dry...... But it was a good experience... I do appreciate the server taking it off. Believe me a lot of places you go. It's like you tell him what's wrong and they say okay and they walk away and they never fix it. Respond or anything. This was an older server. Who knew how to handle the situation.. thank you

The restaurant itself feels very intimate and exclusive because of its size. The drinks menu has something for everyone where the food menu focuses on specialty items you can't find at most other restaurants in the area. For cocktails, I highly recommend their martini service. I got both the French Martini and Espresso Martini and thoroughly enjoyed them both! My SIL also got the Vesper Martini which was surprisingly amazing. All had a unique flavor profile, spirit forward, but also balanced well. My husband also got the TG Bees Knees which was delicious. For food, we started with the Baked Feta. This came with four warm pieces of bread to pair with the warm feta and sauce. For entrees, our waitress said the most popular dishes were the Duck and Seasonal Catch. My husband ordered the Pan Roasted Duck and enjoyed the tenderness and flavor. I ordered the Ravioli Au Dauphine which was served as a sheet. I enjoyed the filling flavor mixed with the sauce and cheese topping. It was the perfect winter pasta. My brother and SIL shared the Pork Belly Confit and Pan Seared Scallops. All dishes came out with a beautiful presentation. Across the board the portions seemed a bit small but you could taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients they used. Gabby waited on our table and was such a joy. She was smiling always, made some great recommendations, gave us a good laugh at times, and was kind to take our photo to savor the night. I definitely enjoyed my experience at Tallgrass and it truly was the perfect dinner spot to splurge with.

Not the best burger ever, but good. The fries were Sad. Other reviews said fries were amazing. So I was excited to try. Mine were extremely cold. I assume made maybe during busy lunch... and cold by the time I was there at 1pm? I didn't bother requesting new fries. Just left them alone and finished my burger.

    Gorgeous Industrial-Chic Celebration Venue in Lockport -- Absolutely Perfect!…read more Our special day at Embers (10/18/25) was absolutely magical. The staff went above and beyond -- thank you Ann, Nicole, and Maddie, especially Ann for making everything run seamlessly and stress-free. The venue's industrial-chic vibe -- exposed brick, metal beams, wood barn doors, high ceilings, and soft lights -- created such a romantic atmosphere that we barely needed to decorate. The food was incredible (our guests are still talking about the mashed potatoes!), and the chicken was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, just like every visit we've made since booking our date a year ago. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-run Lockport venue with amazing food and service, Embers is it.

    We were excited to try Urban Kitchen, and it absolutely delivered…read more Right away, the decor stood out, unique without being over the top, warm, and inviting. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive without hovering. We started with drinks: blueberry mojitos and sangria. Both were fantastic. The flavors were perfectly balanced, refreshing, and it was clear they were made with real care and attention, not just poured and sent out. For appetizers, we ordered the chips with guacamole and salsa. We weren't expecting the chips to come out hot and clearly fresh from the fryer, but wow, perfectly crisp with just the right amount of salt. The guacamole tasted fresh and clean, and the salsa had a great balance of heat and flavor without overpowering anything. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were outstanding. The meat was incredibly well seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell when food is prepared by someone who truly cares about what they're making, those kinds of flavors can't be faked. The Cobb salad was equally impressive: fresh ingredients, a perfect portion size, moist chicken, and a dressing that tied everything together beautifully. One of the nicest surprises was learning that Urban Kitchen supports the community through Meals on Wheels. It's always great to enjoy a meal knowing the restaurant gives back. The only downside? We live six hours away. That said, we will absolutely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!
