My dad and I split a medium juicy Cajun aloha combo with snow crab, shrimp and green mussels; all the pots come with 3 potatoes and 3 small corn cobs. It came out pretty quickly steamed ul in a poofy bag. The food was all cooked well; the seafood juicy and supple and the corn and potatoes the right texture. However, it was lacking flavor. My dad and I barely detected any taste of Cajun spices and definitely no heat... Not even mild, let alone the medium we ordered. We would visit again but probably order a different sauce and order it hot or extra hot.

Finally got the chance to try Bratts Hill for dinner and eat inside, and I was honestly blown away…read more From the outside, you would never expect such a beautiful interior. The space is intimate with a bar, cozy seating, warm lighting, and a great vibe. They had the garage door open, we caught a beautiful breeze, and even got a view of the fireworks that night. The staff was welcoming, the music was great, and the overall energy of the place was unmatched. We started with the saltfish fritters and lamb ribs. The fritters had a nice crunch with a flavorful filling and paired really well with the sauce they came with. But those lamb ribs... easily the highlight for me. I don't eat pork and haven't had ribs in years, so this was such a treat. They were tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pickled cabbage on the side added the perfect balance. I could've ordered 10 plates of those and been happy. The oxtail ragu continued to raise the bar. A lot of places have you searching for the meat, but this was loaded with actual oxtail, almost more meat than pasta. You can tell this food is made with care. The sticky toffee pudding was the perfect ending. Warm spices, ice cream, and toffee [or butterscotch?] drizzle came together beautifully. It wasn't overly sweet, and I finished it before my friend could even get a bite. The chef even came out to introduce himself, and we had a great conversation. They also ended the meal with warm lavender hand towels, which was such a thoughtful touch. I already liked Bratts Hill, but dining in took it to another level. 10/10.

We all decided on something different and dessert was an absolute must. I wasn't the hungriet, I decided on lamb ribs , a side or rice and peas with gravy, the salt fish balls and for dessert I opted for the Brulee. I also tasted the toffee pudding. The ambiance was marvelous. The restaurant was packed and the wait staff was doing the absolute best. One of the cooks, Chris came out and chatted with us at the end of the night. He was eager to hear about our experience and expressed to us how sorry he was for the long waits. He mentioned Chef Darian being on Chef Ramsay's show and how that has made business pick up. The food was delicious , the flavors were authentic and I would definitely go back for another great meal. The restaurant was very clean and cozy.

Crispy and honey bbq, I got a sparse amount of sauce on the wings, definitely a little disappointed there, no sauce to scrape up and "dip" the wings in. Fries were crispy and went well with their bleu cheese (which I'm still a fan of). Only thing I'd recommend is cleaning up some of the viewable spots from the customer pick up window.

I would never have known about the second Anchi A La Carte location, if it weren't for the Yelp ad…read more The original restaurant offered truly delicious food, so we decided to check out the new one, expecting the same menu, vibe and quality. I'd start with the atmosphere and overall first impression. The interior isn't as bright and inviting as the one on Maple Road. It's still the Water Lily Cafe, just under a different banner. This place needs to be refreshed. Another downside is that the complimentary dumplings advertised on Yelp are only for those who leave a five-star review. Really?! :) In my opinion, this fact takes one star away instantly. So we already got The Bad and The Ugly ;). The Good was the most important, the food. We really enjoyed our dishes. My partner's 'Spice Lemongrass Beef Noodle Soup' was very tasty. It wasn't heavy on lemongrass, and overly spicy, as promised. It was full of various cuts of beef, a slice of Vietnamese pork, and a good amount of thick rice noodles. The soup is served with the same garnish as for pho soup. My 'Grilled Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl' was beautifully served. All the veggies were crispy, fresh, and the noodles were nicely warm. With the splash of fish sauce everything tasted so delicious. I asked for a side of the peanut sauce and it was even tastier (thanks Jennifer). Only the shrimp could be of better quality and really, nicely grilled. I'm glad Anchi A La Carte is available in this part of town. It's a perfect place for a good meal before or after shopping, errands etc. in the area.

They had a very large doorbell that went off anytime someone opened the front door. So with people going in and out for their to-go order , it was extremely irritating and I couldn't wait to leave... BUT! The waiter was so friendly and offered to explain any dish we needed to know more about and gave us a warning anytime we chose something really spicy. Great selection on the menu between curries, noodles, soups and rice dishes. I ended up with the Shrimp Dopiaza which ranks in one of my top favorite 5 dishes I have ever had. The flavor was amazing and SPICY, served with long grain rice, curry and lots of huge shrimp! My husband got the Special Beef khichiri which was delicious, lots of bones in there though so be prepared if you aren't expecting it. We also ordered 2 garlic naan because we were expecting a small idk, 6 in diameter disc? NO. You get 4 huge pieces per naan, practically the size of a full pizza. We should have split one but if you like garlic, this has about 2 cloves per slice. Its delicious! For dessert we ordered Gulan Jamun and Rasgulla. Oh my, it's like spongy donuts in sugar syrup. So good! Will definitely get takeout again! P s. You have you pay $1 for a bottle water if sitting down.

The photo shows all kind of peppers and vegetables, my dish was just chicken. Flavor was great though, not as spicy as I have hoped but good. Chicken w/ broccoli, great of amount flavor, spot on dish! Spring rolls... absolutely amazing! Huge flavor! Garlicky naan. Not pictured but again fantastic. I'll be back, for sure.

I'm back here now to Yelp what a wonderful place Wiechec's is for a Friday nght fish fry for a table of 12. Okay, not all of us got the fish fry, but the point is, if you ever tried to reserve a table for 12 people for a Friday fish fry, you will understand our gratitude to Wiechec's for accomodating us. Service was efficient and friendly. Our table(s) were waiting when we got there. A few people got the pierogies and onions, a couple got the French dip. I got the fish sandwich. My only issue with it was it was easily twice the size I'd had in mind for a "fish sandwich." I ate the fish (excellent) and cole slaw and some of the fries.

The bar/restaurant sits in a decent part of the East Side, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The place has that classic, old-school Polish Buffalo vibe -- salty, worn-in, and full of character. We ordered the breaded fish, beer-battered fish, and one of each pierogi. The fish dinners came with potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, and rye bread. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was the best version of itself I've ever had. Cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. What a hidden gem. Oh, and $3 pints of Labatt Blue to wash it all down? Perfect. Next time we're in Buffalo, we're coming back.

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.
