    Spicy marg essentially
    Charlynn R.

    I like it here. The vibe is great the drinks are great. The fries are amazing. Our server Corey was awesome. The Caesar salad was a little odd lol it was so finely chopped it was giving Cole slaw a bit. But that is just a preference thing. Overall I'd visit again and again.

    Was pleasantly surprised with our dinner experience this past Saturday . I have been here for a happy hour in the past , but had never eaten a meal here . The vibe is chic yet cozy, upscale yet comfortable. Our six top was tended to by our waitress with care and charisma . I ordered the headless horseman cocktail ... similar to a pumpkin martini, it was tasty and well prepared. As for my entree , the panko crusted cod . ... it reminded me of fish and chips (but in a good way , not greasy ) and the marinated tomato salad it was served with was in a word - banging ! Based on my experience - I actually would recommend coming here for a meal again !

    In addition to lunch, I've been here twice around 5-8pm, once for dinner and once for drinks and appetizers. While the atmosphere is great, the music and noise gets pretty loud so it's not great for group conversation. However the bartenders and food are fantastic.

    Great Vibe, Questionable Price Tag Okay, first off, the location is awesome, and the vibe is totally there. They have live plants everywhere, which looks super cool and gives it that chill, Instagram-ready aesthetic. Points for that. Now, for the reality check: The food is seriously overpriced and everything is à la carte. Like, you get a burger and you're like, "wait, where are the fries?"--you have to pay extra. It's ridiculous. A basic burger and fries will easily hit $25 before you even factor in a tip. Add a drink to that, and your lunch is suddenly a major expense. The taste? Honestly, it was just meh. Like, standard average food you could get almost anywhere, but you're paying a premium for... the plants? I don't get it. The good news is the cocktail menu has some genuinely creative stuff--they look really fun. The bad news? Also super expensive. The Bottom Line: Because of how much money you have to drop just for a casual hangout, this isn't a spot I'll be hitting up frequently. It's more of a "once in a blue moon" place when you're trying to impress someone, not your regular Friday night dinner with friends. Save your cash.

    An hour before we arrived we looked at the menu and it was different. When we arrived, the menu was on qr code only, which I'm not a fan of, and had significantly decreased in choices and did not was not the same menu it was an hour before. My fiance got the best alcoholic drink. Good flavor. My father in law got the golden hour or something like that. That was good. I ordered the smash burger on gluten free roll, my.mother in law got fries, and the men got the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The burger was good. The fries were good, and they enjoyed their grilled cheese. The ambiance was nice. Street parking. Not sure if I'll be back.

    Went for brunch with some friends and really enjoyed the experience there. The service was great and the food was delicious though I felt it was a bit overpriced for what you were getting. I got essentially their Danny's Street Slam which came with bacon, eggs, home fries, and toast for $18. Everything did look great and everyone loved what they had to, so that was good. I also tried a couple drinks, including the midnight in Paris, which was definitely a favorite, and the overall vibe of this place was very chill and bougie-lite If you're looking for a nicer place to check out for Saturday brunch downtown, this spot might just check the boxes for you.

    Chicken and waffles brunch, amazing!!!
    Jen E.

    Came here before for a cocktail and loved the drinks and the beautiful decor/ambiance . Came back for brunch with a girlfriend and it was fantastic. Not too crowded. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was fantastic! Fancy setting and great decor and atmosphere!

    Breakfast "sandwich"
    Erin H.

    We came in for a girl's brunch and had a great time. The restaurant is light, airy, and super cute. The music was fantastic. Our server was very friendly. Their brunch menu had so many tasty options - I had a hard time picking! I ended up getting a Bloody Mary and a mushroom omelette with a side of hollandaise. My omelette was perfect. The hollandaise was buttery but also had a nice citrusy flavor. My friend got the breakfast sandwich - which had two super thick blueberry pancakes for the buns. It was like a boujee McGriddle. Her only complaint was that it was so big she couldn't fit it in her mouth. I will definitely be back, maybe for dinner instead! The vibes here would be perfect for a cute date.

    grilled cheese and tomato soup
    Kaylee A.

    Still my favorite bar! Grilled cheese and tomato soup is still my favorite meal. The staff is always very friendly. There are multiple tvs and the music is decent! I love coming here to watch the Bills play!

    Streetlight Brasserie is a beautiful spacious, fresh looking restaurant. You're surrounded by plenty plants, and natural light from the pane windows. You can enjoy sitting in their lounge chair area, or you can choose to enjoy yourself at the bar. I definitely recommend coming for drinks..As for the food I felt it was ok. Service was very good, and everyone was friendly. Fried chicken sandwich- Had so much potential, Bun was delicious and the sauce was amazing. This sandwich fell short because, the chicken was overcooked. So all you could taste was the burnt batter of the fried chicken. (Surprisingly, no sides came with this) French fries- was good.. just regular frozen fries. Would've like fresh cut better Old fashioned- quite tasty...and would order this again and again

    Not exaggerating, this spot has the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life...so good that I can back less than a week later. Gorgeous interior, top tier service. Huge recommend!

    Mussels, fries and sweet potato salad
    Lynette S.

    Stopped in a whim midweek to check things out. It was a chill hang, not too crowded, not too uncrowded. The music was great... They were playing an eclectic mix and it was at a civilized volume. The menu is small but perfect for a snack and a drink. The wine list is non existent but I was happy with the rosé and my companion didn't mind the Chardonnay. Even though the menu is small I did enjoy the choices I made. Shrimp cocktail was perfect, mussels in a herby cream sauce, spot on fries and a lovely salad. It's not exactly a dinner destination but it's a fun hangout. There's is an expensive cocktail menu but I have not sampled any.

    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.

    Marble + Rye has been one of my favorite spots for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I don't get…read moreto go as frequently as I would like to do so. So it was a pleasant surprise when a friend and I decided that we'd stop by. This was their first time here and admittedly I was happy because they haven't had many pleasant food experiences in Buffalo. I believe they haven't been going to the best places but that's another conversation for another day. Okay so let's dig into the experience. We were running late and arrived at approximately 9:40 pm. I was nervous that we'd either a) be turned away or b) not get the best service since it was so close to the time that they closed. Let me be the first to say that that was not the case at all. We were seated in the most perfect little nook tucked away near the door. Dimly lit but cozy for good vibes and good food. Our server Megan came over and she was truly delightful. She provided really great recommendations. It was the perfect mix of personal reccs, insight on bestsellers, and answers to our mainy questions. We ultimately settled on two pizzas, fried rice, and a buyer (not pictured). The food came out in a timely manner. The drinks were incredible and the service was undeniable. Special shoutout to Megan again for offering a one of a kind experience. Misc: There's a parking lot next door to the building never knew. Prices are a tad steep but the vibes are good. Kitchen closes at 10. Check hours before going. Fried rice is a tad spicy but delicious. Drinks are perfect! I can't wait to go back :]

    Little did we know this gem was right around the corner from our hotel during a recent visit to…read moreBuffalo. We were looking for a spot to grab a small bite and some drinks to wind down and didn't realize just how good this spot would end up being! Their Detroit-style pizza was legit, with really good dough texture and a nice frico. I wish I had found Marble + Rye earlier on in our trip because I would've definitely gone back for more of the pizza. We weren't looking for any more food, but their menu sounded really good and if I'm in town again, I'll certainly stop in to try some of their other offerings. Regardless, I definitely recommend the pizza! They also have a really good cocktail menu. Their bar staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable. Aside from pizza, I'd make sure to stop in for a cocktail, as well. Overall, our time at Marble + Rye was short and unplanned, but it still left a great impression and made me wish I could go back a second time to explore both the cocktail and food menus further. Check it out if you're in downtown Buffalo!

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.
