I can't comment on food but the drinks are great!! I always have great fast service. The restaurant is very cozy and has plenty of room to sit and chill. I enjoy looking at all the decor, every time I see something different. I enjoy coming here for a drink with my friends. read more

Streetlight Brasserie - Paloma and a coffee - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Solid brunch place to the DT Buffalo area. I've never been here for dinner so I can't comment how it is but the brunch is so good! It's served both on Saturday and Sunday which is a plus because most places only do Sunday brunch. The cinnamon roll is the best I've ever had in the Buffalo area. It was soft, fluffy, and moist. No one likes a dry cinnamon roll and this one was anything but that. The chicken and waffle is definitely the star of the show!!!! read more

Wonderful friendly staff at the bar pouring high quality cocktails and delicious food in a great environment with plenty of TV's to keep track of your favorite sports. The gourmet chicken and waffle was crispy and sweet, didn't really need any extra toppings with the wonderful green sauce, onions, and sesame seeds. If you've ever wondered where all the Blanton's in Buffalo is, it's here and reasonably priced for a generous and delicious pour! read more

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 ! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We stopped into Streetlight Brasserie downtown on a Sunday afternoon, but just a heads-up--parking is street parking only. Unfortunately, no food was available at that time, and I really would've liked to see even a small menu in the late afternoon. That said, they had a DJ spinning good music, and the atmosphere was fun despite a smaller crowd. The highlight was definitely the espresso martini--it was absolutely on point. Service was okay, took a while to be greeted at the first bar upon arrival when all other patrons were at the 2nd bar towards the back. And yes, there were two bartenders behind the first bar . read more

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. read more

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. read more

Rwasengee is the best great service. Cleaned our table and took our orders during club hours. Recommend heavily.

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 read more

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. read more

I was excited to check out Streetlight Brassiere and have been two times for dinner now. Walking in the inside is newly decorated and I honestly really enjoyed the look and feel of the furniture, bar area and artwork. The service was very welcoming so my date and I started off with a drink, of which the menu offered a unique variety - even some delicious mocktails. As far as good the menu had all-day breakfast and some dinner options. For an appetizer my date and I got the hummus which was delicious! Both times I opted for the moles frites for my entree which overall were pretty tasty although I feel like the mussels could've had slightly more flavor. Overall we had an enjoyable dinner with tasty drinks, the environment is very relaxing and welcoming. I definitely want to come back to try the breakfast foo read more

Any projects created with the brilliance of Danny and Nina Lettieri is gold! What a novel, brilliant interesting and fun concept, so needed in the downtown Buffalo area for a variety of purposes, to delight and engage customers of all types! They service a wide spectrum of needs from being a custom bakery and Café, to being a lunch business spot, and converting into a trendy nightclub hotspot in the evening! Can't wait to try the food!!

First of all, this place is perfectly decorated like it belongs in a king's court. You would think the restaurant staff were all trained by The Ritz Carlton Hotel Brand by how friendly they act towards all of the guests in the restaurant. Not only is the staff friendly, but they work as a team to make certain that every person in the restaurant is looked after properly and with polite enthusiasm. The last time I dined at this fine eatery was during brunch hours on a Sunday, early afternoon when I had their BRASSERIE OMELETTE, which was prepared in a French style with not a speck of brown on either side of it. If you enjoy the best service in town and the most delectable meals, come to this place first : run, don't walk. You'll be glad that you did ! Make this place your hangout and bring your significant other. Don't keep it a secret, you'll love this place ! read more

I happened to walk by Streetlight while in Buffalo for a weekend. The ambiance had an inviting vibe so I walked in. Streetlight is a fairly new spot and opened a couple of weeks back. They have a great cocktail list and I tried two of their signature cocktails. Both cocktails were well presented and tasted great. I also got 6 oysters and you can't go wrong with that :) I would have tried every drink on their menu if I could. Next time I'm in Buffalo, I'll definitely come back to Streetlight! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch The Ambiance is absolutely beautiful The service was good too However the food was just ok. I ordered the sweet potato salad. I would have preferred goat cheese over the feta. And I wasn't a fan of the dressing that was already mixed in. The dressing should have been served on the side. The coffee was very good Maybe I'll be back - for cocktails read more

Cool place. Unique, trendy, good atmosphere and aesthetic. Perfect for a quick date or light meal with some drinks. The place is also very spacious and was not too loud or crowded when I went. Food was food! Not a huge menu but they have some interesting options. I got grilled cheese, he got hummus and pita chips. Drinks were good! Everything was fine. My only thing is that service was REALLY slow. I am not impatient but our waiter definitely forgot about us a few times. We waited 15 minutes for DRINKS. (He apologized numourous times) Anyways, its a new place so whatever. It happens. I'd visit again. Probably just to the bar next time. read more

Brand new! Open 10 am - 1 am 7 days a week and in a prime location I suggest everyone takes a visit here before it becomes the place to be. Already hearing Sunday brunch is busy. Bartenders were great. I always appreciate when a bartender takes their time making a cocktail even if there is a couple people waiting for drinks. They seemed to do just that here. Did not get a chance to try the back bar but the two male bartenders that took our orders were knowledgeable about the menu and excited about Streetlight. I would say the omelette was good but I would not get it again. Some folks behind us ordered grilled cheeses and that definitely looked to be the move. Atmosphere was 10/10! A movie being played on a projector at with music playing but fun to at least catch some parts of the movie. Bar in the back had some TVs with sports on them which I would imagine would be insanely popular for Bills games. Great location, great atmosphere, great drinks, great staff. read more

The best way to describe the newly-opened Streetlight Brassierie is lovely. The service, the drinks, the interior -- all are simply lovely. A friend and I decided to meet here for a fun summertime drink. No food for us this time, so can't comment on that. The interior is beautifully designed. There are two bars and plenty of seating, and despite that, the space still feels huge. There was a private party going on while we were there, so good to know they can host events like that! For my drink, I opted for the Death & Vegetables, essentially a spicy margarita. It was absolutely delicious. I'd never had a spicy marg before -- so this set the bar very high. The drink had a really nice refreshing flavor, paired with a spiced rim. It was on the stronger side as well, which is also a plus. My friend got a few of their gin-based drinks and also reported that they were delicious. I want to come back to try their food, which will be easy enough since they have an all-day menu! Rumor has it they're adding coffee and patisserie capabilities soon, and I love a good coffee shop, so I'll definitely be back. Cheers to Streetlight Brasserie! read more

FOOD: I thoroughly enjoyed my selection, which was the shrimp and grits. The Cajun seasoning was not overbearing or too salty for my taste; it was just right! The "grits" were a polenta and they were perfectly smooth and buttery to a touch. I did wish my broccolini was seasoned but it was fresh and did not taste frozen. I enjoyed the lardons sprinkled on my dish and provided added depth to my meal. Portion size was great too and perfect for one person! AMBIENCE: Streetlight brassiere has a beautiful, light airy ambience that would be great during a morning or late brunch. It has a trendy vibe to it and a large beautiful bar area. There are lounge chairs, perfect for hosting bigger parties. We went on a Sunday and it was filled with plenty of people. My friend and I had no reservation and we just walked in, but it may be better to call during their busy hours. SERVICE: Our server was great and made a couple jokes here and there and checked up on us if we needed anything. Tips: QR code menu, street parking is available. Soda selection is great! read more

I have been to Streetlight Brasserie twice since it's recent opening in mid June 2023. I was very excited for the opening since the restaurant appears very pretty from the outside and occupies a large space right in downtown Buffalo. I had the chance to eat dinner here with a couple of friends. They do not take reservations, however that is not an issue since they do not have much foot traffic on Monday evenings. When you walk inside, you immediately forget you're in a rustic, rust-belt city like Buffalo. The space is extremely modern and upscale. There are a few large love-seat couches spread out in the front area of the restaurant, with 2 large bars (1 in front, 1 in back) and regular tables in the back of the restaurant. There is more than adequate natural lighting thanks to the huge windows up front! We were quickly greeted by servers and felt welcomed. The menu has decent variety of options. The prices are quite fair considering how high inflation rates are. I will also remind you that as of today, their kitchen is open DAILY from 10AM to 1AM, which is MUCH needed in Buffalo. We have very few late-night food options! I ordered the chicken and waffle dish which was quite good, while my friends ordered a falafel burger and one of the pasta dishes with truffle. The falafel burger did not very appetizing but I was told it tasted okay. My friend enjoyed her pasta dish. However, the meals are on the smaller side, so I would highly recommend ordering an appetizer if you want to avoid leaving hungry! When I came back a week later for drinks with a friend, he ordered the french onion soup which he really enjoyed (not to mention the presentation was spectacular haha). The servers are very kind and seem to enjoy working at Streetlight Brasserie. Food and drinks are served in a timely manner. The servers told us that their hours and menu will likely change once they understand the typical patterns among their customers, which makes sense since I am sure it is difficult to keep a restaurant open on a daily basis for 13 hours. I recommend you visit Streetlight Brasserie as soon as you can - I am sure it will get more crowded over the next couple of months as word gets out! I would recommend that they either add more appetizer options or increase the portion sizes. The drink menu is excellent and the establishment is gorgeous. read more
