We wanted to find a non-chain restaurant for dinner while at Niagara Falls and Yelp steered us to the right place. A fantastic dining experience... We both ordered a beer and they had some local varieties so we went with those, and happy we did. We were served warn crusty bread with three sides...butter, berry infused butter, and a oil/vinegar dip. We were hungry so it was great to eat that while waiting for our entrees. I got the seared scallops. Came with four big scallops cooked perfectly. Served with a green pea risotto. Oh my gosh...sssssoooooo goood! My friend got the burger and they happily added bacon even though it wasn't listed as an option. He loved his burger! I did take a bite and it was very good. We split the fries which were cooked perfectly, too. They were well seasoned also. Our server Shane was great! Very accommodating, but didn't hover. He refilled our bread basket and drinks as needed. He also brought us salt and pepper when requested. Very nice guy, and he did a GREAT. read more

Had lunch here and it was delicious. Wonderful presentation of food with great flavors.

Stopped in for lunch. Great burger. Large and tasty. Very nice atmosphere and great service. Very good value! read more

Service was stuffy & the food was bland. The bread and dipping sauce were fantastic but it was not worth the $70 we paid for our meal.

I thought this place was great! It is in the Culinary school in Niagara Falls...a little hard to find. The students cook and serve so I was very lenient in regards to giving this place a 5 star. Service was slow and she forgot the drink order..but they are not professional servers. If you keep that in mind and allow extra time you won't be disappointed.The food was fantastic and the portions were huge and the price very reasonable.! I suggest sharing an Appetizer or you will be full when your entree comes. I will definitely return. read more

Amazing place to eat. The food doesn't take that long. Very friendly staff, fancy presentation, and unique selection. Recommend this place for any one want to visit the Niagara Falls. read more

We were very happy with our service and food at Savor. The staff was attentive and informed about the dishes. Our steaks were served with an incredible sauce while the vegetables and potatoes were done to perfection. Enjoy a new experience. We went casual but others were dressed in nice dining attire. Therefore, go comfortable and leave happy. read more

What a great place to eat in Buffalo. Did not expect the restaurant to be as good as it was. It was not ridiculously prices and the food was delicious. The plates were large and has more than enough food to share. We had wine and loved the experience. It's a classy place with good food - family friendly. It's a good place to go when in buffalo. read more

First, this is NOT a touristy restaurant. We found this place by walking by. At first we thought the menu looked small but we made a reservation and too a chance based upon Yelp reviews. They were not wrong and the restaurant is appropriately named. We Savored every bite of everything we ordered. I had the pizza and let me tell you the crust and the flavors were amazing. Everything my family ordered was outstanding. The service was great. If my stay was longer I would go back again. read more

Market Salad with Root Vegetables and Truffle Fries- To say I'm loving their menu is an understatement! My market salad: frisée, yellow beets, red beets, purple potatoes, roasted fennel, tomatoes, and spicy pepitas, bound perfectly with citrus vinaigrette, goat cheese and citrus peel. It was so delicious! read more

Stopped in after walking around the falls. Promptly seated for the lunch menu. Wife and I tried the beer and burger deal. Delicious. Perfectly cooked burgers and wonderful buns. Blame myself for ordering it medium, I'm sure the beef would've been perfect medium/rare. But you can never be too sure with some places. read more

Wait for over half hour just for an over cooked dish? The meat patty of hamburger was over cooked as well and black on one side, which was hided by melted cheese. Avoid this place. I was wondering how this place gets 4 stars. Interesting..... read more

Savor - New American Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Really loved this restaurant. Ambience is nice, dress up or down is ok. Everyone was friendly. The food was amazing. Best hamburger I've ever had, my husbands pizza was amazing, we also ordered the stuffed yellow peppers which were amazing too. The menu changes every season. Amanda was our waitress, she was very good and attentive. Would definitely come back. read more

Our food was just spectacular yesterday. We ordered drinks and appetizers and that more than filled us (since we weren't supper hungry) The wait staff was friendly and helpful and was equally matched to our delicious food. As a special treat, we ordered dessert since the Lemon Meringue Tart sounded too good to pass up- so glad we did. Two of us shared this light and airy treat! For those who want a nice atmosphere, good food, and not your traditional chain restaurant give this one a try. Even though it is a teaching restaurant, I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the food or atmosphere. If you get a chance and enjoy people watching- sit outside, it enhances the experience- the fire pit is great! read more

We have eaten at Savor a number of times, and every visit has been excellent. This past week I had the pork belly and scallops, my wife had the short ribs, and both were terrific. I should also mention the shrimp cocktail that I ordered: the shrimp were very large, grilled and deliciously seasoned. My wife ordered the oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer, and while she found the yellow cheese topping a bit odd (usually it's Romano or Parmesan), they were good. The service was perfect. We were also very happy with the school's own wine, mine the pinot noir, my wife's the chardonnay, and we plan to buy both for home. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, so with excellent food and outstanding service there's nothing not to love. I recommend Savor for the food, of course, but I also like the idea of supporting such a great local resource, and encourage people to go regularly. read more

Savor is a must hit destination. Went there while working in the area with my wife. Great service, reasonably priced amazing food. We will be back for sure. read more

Nice place, the food was slightly above mediocre. The service was well below mediocre. Over priced for the food quality, but not outrageously priced. read more

Exactly what you should expect from the Culinary Institue: fine food. Maybe sometimes they try a bit too hard. But, hey, it's a laboratory. As you also might expect, the menu is seasonal and always changing. Fresh sourcing is part of the training, and they do it really well. This is a place where you can expect your server to know and explain what you are eating, from where it came, and how it is prepared. Portions lean more to artistic presentation rather than generous. Prices are a tad high. But unless you live in NYC, New Orleans, Chicago, and eat on a big boss's expense account, this may be your best shot at a really fine meal prepared and served by folks who know what they are doing. So splurge. Order all the courses. Make a memory. As always, lunch is better value. Leave the kids in front of the video game. read more

Food was delicious!! We came straight from Niagara Falls, and though we felt underdressed, everyone was extremely friendly and would love to dine again. read more

Great food and atmosphere but a little disappointed. Took family there (wife and 2 young kids). Great staff and super fast service. First order of appetizers (calamari) was super salty - informed waiter they brought us fresh badge right away. Second batch was good. Wife had salad (appetizer) with grilled chicken - (extra) - but the chicken wasn't cooked thoroughly (her preference). Kids had pizza (a little too much Parmesan) for a 6 year old - so he only had the fries; and chicken fingers for second child - tasted great (no honey mustard sauce though- only ketchup). I had salmon - $25 it was good (not great) - I checked Yelp for reviews bf eating and another customer complained about risotto being over cooked- it was. Also had a bit of a spice to it and a little salty. read more

First off, the crew at Savor were super nice, welcoming and professional. It was great from the moment we walked in the door. The calamari starter was made to perfection and the main dishes of Savor burger and the pasta special were very good. Great experience! read more

Very nice to explore this place! It's a bit hidden but one you've been there, you go back! Had a very nice lunch, served friendly and in a nice interior! read more

"Savor on the street" Great fast delicious bbq sandwich lunch :-) fun causal atmosphere :-)

The best dinner in Niagara Falls! The Bolognese and Gnocchi were amazing! I feel like in Italy! Pizza has a lot of sauce and was juicy and delicious. Excellent service - very quick and friendly. And good prices for the meal of such high quality! Definitely recommend! read more

Had dinner with my parents while visiting the gorgeous Niagara Fall. It was so amazing! We literally scraped cleaned every single plate. I had cowboy ribeye, my dad had the seared scallops and my mom had the grilled salmon. We all shared the food, and everything was very very delicious. My dad was extremely excited that the jack Daniels he ordered was more than usual and he's surprised and very happy. Overall, it was a blast! read more

Way more kid friendly than we thought. The pizzas are fantastic. We couldn't believe how polite and attentive the staff was after being treated like garbage at the other restaurants in the hotels. The price was right too. If I was a local, this would be my spot. read more

This is by far the worst place in Niagara Falls to dine to have your wedding reception lunch or dinner. Food was not good. The manager; Dana, was very unprofessional, unkind, and made me and my husband very uncomfortable with her service for our wedding luncheon. There was no parking for our guests and my husband and I, and our guests were also rushed out of the retaurant due to Dana told us they have other guests to serve. Terrible place to dine!!!!

Delicious food, excellent service. A magnificent culinary experience. I rich I took a picture of all our courses. The appetizer and main course both specials of the evening were perfect we wanted more. Dessert was the pumpkin panna cotta which was absolutely delicious. Very beautiful setting. Great romantic restaurant read more

I am so pleased ... recommended from guy at hotel. Very good ... excellent service and excellent prices!!!

One of the most exquisite meals I have experienced in my world travels. The flavors were dynamic and diverse, stimulating every sense and invigorating my palette. The salmon was worth every penny (of many) with scallops, calamari and mussels adorning the centerpiece filet. Yet, it was the saffron broth that left us spooning, soaking (the warm fresh bread) and nearly licking the plate. The portions were more than met the eye. Truly exceptional! Diamond in the rough, benefiting from the culinary school's talented team. Just wow!! read more

Honestly, some of the best food I've ever eaten. It was a buffet style-- approx $22 per person not including certain drinks. I ate the salmon and it was so juicy and zesty and then also filled up on gruyere cheese & bread encrusted scallops in butter sauce--OH MY GOD. They were so well prepared and mouthwatering. So impressive! I also tried they're desserts, I ate a cute coffee cup shaped chocolate with mousse in it. Everything was outstanding. I highly recommend it! read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant but ultimately I was unsatisfied. We walked in to be seated and were told we needed a reservation, even though this wasn't noted anywhere on their website or in reviews. I went to their website and made a reservation immediately and returned after 15 minutes having earned the right to be seated. My girlfriend raved about the bruschetta, that and the desserts were the highlight of the dinner. She had the creme brûlée and I had the chocolate torte for dessert. We each ordered the bolognese, she enjoyed hers but I did not. That evening we both felt ill and she even ended up waking in the middle of the night to get sick. We paid too much money just to be sick at the end of the experience. read more

Great showing at Taste of Buffalo 2016! Their Mexican Gelato Ice Cream Sandwich was delicious. I have only had spicy chocolate a couple times in my life and have loved it. This take on that theme did not disappoint. Well-balanced and properly stored (despite the summer heat). 5 stars! I will have to take my boyfriend to this restaurant and try more of their menu. read more

We came to this restaurant because their ratings were so high but we're unfortunately disappointed. The portions were small for the price. We had the tomato soup which was average and two pizzas, both of which were slightly overcooked and dry. The service was also very average. The atmosphere and music were nice and location good read more

The US side of Niagara Falls doesn't have many food options so we were happy to find Savor at the new culinary institute. We had the burger and the lamb gyro special, both were excellent and the restaurant was packed! We checked out the other yelp spots and they were empty or un-appealing, so you might as well just come here. read more

This is not your average tourist trap food. We were served gourmet food at an amazing price. My wife, who only eats two cheeseburgers a year, decided to get one, and was not disappointed. I had the steak in the grass, and it was delicious. If I lived around here, I would bring out of town visitors here on a frequent basis, if only to eat there myself. read more

Always amazing food and great wait staff! All better polite and kind. Service was a little slow. But it have time for us time to chat and enjoy our drinks. Very cheap appetizers and drinks! read more

Wait, there is a NON-chain restaurant on the American side of the falls, that actually has good food? There is, and this is it. Its a little weird that its in a school, but the restaurant itself does not give that feel at all. We arrived Saturday around 8 and told it would be about 15 min wait. So we had a drink at the full bar while we waited for out table. It was happy hour so drinks were cheap, abound 5 bucks, per mixed drink. I had my go to, captain an coke, and my friend had the melon martini. The bartender was extremely nice and hilarious! When she made the martini, she made way too much so she gave us the left overs, and he got 2 more full martinis out of it. It was like 3 drinks for the price of one. Our table was ready in about 10 minutes. Our server welcomed us with warm bread and 3 dipping sauces. She asked if we need more drinks, then allowed us to look over the menu. I was supersized by how low the prices were for everything. We decided on the calamari for and app. The breading they use is really, really, good. They give you 2 dipping sauces and we enjoyed both of them. We both decided on the scallops for dinner. They were cooked perfectly. The only issue I had, they were a tad bit over seasoned. The pea risotto was very, very good, I could have eaten a bowl of that. You can tell they are students but they all did an amazing job. The manager kept duplicating our sever(including each of the bringing us a second bill) which got annoying because I thought our server was doing an amazing job! I don't frequent the US falls too often, but I may make a special trip to dine a Savor again! Great Job! read more

Absolutely delicious food, great cocktails, and attentive, friendly service. I had seared duck breast and my companion had seafood pasta in a delicious vodka pepper sauce. Salted caramel tart for dessert is a signature dish. Highly recommended read more
