5 of us went there to celebrate Mother's Day and had a great meal! I don't believe they usually serve brunch, but you wouldn't have known that! They were seating people on the patio, and even though it was a chilly day, it seemed warm enough to enjoy. We sat inside and had plenty of space to enjoy our afternoon. Our service was excellent and our waiter was knowledgeable of the wine list and recommended a dry rose, which was exactly what my mom wanted. We had 4 appetizers to share and each of us also ordered an entree. Nothing was big, but we had plenty of food. I especially enjoyed the cheese plate and the potato pancake appetizers. For lunch I opted for a brunch style fried rice, which was executed perfectly. The combo of the chili sauce, soft boiled egg, and crunchy nori was great over the rice. I can't wait to go back for dinner! read more

Had a great dinner experience here tonight! It was our first time here and we were super happy with the night. The service was wonderful- thank you Chandler for taking care of us! We got wine, beer, and old fashioned cocktails. They were perfect! The menu is smaller FYI. We started with the bread and strawberry Brie appetizers. Both were outstanding- we loved the flavors of the strawberry and jalapeño together! For dinner we got the Spaghetti alla limone, halibut, and ribeye. All were great! We ended sharing the panna cotta which was delicious! Overall. Great experience! read more

I'm a little baffled by this place. It's such a lovely space, inside is lovely outside. Seating is terrific. They even have blankets for people to put over their knees on chiller or nights outside. Menu are made small, which always makes me think they make those things really really well. As a result, the price might be a little bit higher, and maybe it would be elsewhere. That's fine. You often get what you pay for. But it's not a place where you can sit and have a relaxing meal. They're constantly rushing you out. Maybe we weren't drinking enough, or maybe they need to start telling patrons you've got a reservation we expect you in and out in an hour and a half, to manage expectations. Our server was absolutely lovely, but it was a weekend night, and we were hoping for a nice relaxing meal. This wasn't that. Over $100 for two people, it doesn't seem like a lot to ask. You can make a reservation here, which is lovely. But I encourage you, when making one, to find out if they're going to rush you through the meal. Street parking. read more

My steak was pretty good flavor wise, which is why I'm giving this place 3 stars, it was tougher than expected though. The ambience is very pretty. I wouldn't go again because of the service, we had a reservation and the servers kept coming up to us and tracked our time by letting us know how much longer we had- which wasn't needed because we wrapped up with over 45 minutes to spare before our reservation time was over. read more

The Little Club - Steak - Wine Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I was really prepared to hate this place. It's tiny, and very crowded. Just getting to a table was a bit tricky. I went with a foodie who insisted we try as many different things as we could. That's a lot to ask of a picky eater. That's me, I'm the picky eater. Let me tell you what: from appetizers to dessert it was the best food I have had in years. The Basque cheesecake literally was the best food item I've ever put in my mouth. I had dreams about it for weeks afterwards. Matter of fact, it's time for a return visit. Too pricey to be a regular hangout, but damn, it's good! read more

I popped in for a light meal and a good glass of wine. It was totally impromptu so sat at the bar solo. What I found was a simple menus with light eats and a great wine menu. I had the braised chicken leg with lentils and man, was it awesome! I enjoyed a good class of beer- Kronenberg, which I never see on menus and a decent class of lite red. Overall, I really liked this spot and eager to go back. I landed on a slower night as I hear it's often packed, because it is small, so plan accordingly. read more

Fantastic dinner! We were so happy to find such a cool dinner spot with great food and vibes. We ordered the bread with ricotta and lamb meatballs to start (both delicious) and the halibut and spaghetti main courses. The poached halibut was coated in the perfect green pepper cream sauce which I should've saved bread to dip into it. The spaghetti al limone was al dente and just ok because it was a little too sharp for my liking (lots of lemon and spicy oil). We got some great cocktails and wine as well (with recs from our awesome server), which complemented the meal nicely. Overall I loved this meal and can't wait to return, since the seasonal menu seems to rotate often read more

Great food, staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. It was a perfect temp in there (I'm picky haha). I had the salmon bagel and it was so good but we got so many apps that I was stuffed by the time it came out. So I only ate a bit of it. We had most of the appetizers and they were delicious. Especially the deviled eggs. read more

Maybe it was an off night? I am generally not one to shy away from a small menu, but this one had me a little worried. We ordered two rounds of the bread and it was fabulous. Cheese with some drizzled olive oil and balsamic. The bread was warm and crusty. I ordered the radish caesar salad as my meal. It had a very strange flavor that I could not place...I unfortunately would not order this again. If I ever go back, I would get the steak sandwich as a few people in my party had this and said it was very good. Everything had a beautiful presentation! read more

Loved sitting outside! We made a reservation for Friday evening at 830 for 2. Service was attentive and friendly. Burrata salad was the star of the evening for sure. So delicious. The octopus tartine was interesting - I ordered octopus without even reading the description. It was put into a flavorful gelatin and cut into a flat sheet. Not the preparation I was expecting but still good. The salad on top was very good which helped to brighten it up and add some crisp. Would definitely to back again to try some entre items! My friend got the halibut and said it was very good! read more

Today was my first time checking out The Little Club on Hertel. My date and I were excited to check this place out and we made a last minute reservation and snagged a seat on the patio. We were seated promptly and given a menu. My date and I both ordered drinks to start, and I went with the sangria. It took a really long time for our drinks to come out and even longer for us to put in our appetizer order. Unfortunately they were out of the appetizer we had our eye on - so we were kind of scrambling to pick what we should get instead. The waitress suggested the mackerel as something similar. The mackerel ended up being pretty tasty and something you don't see at many other restaurants in the area and the dish overall was presented quite well. We were quite hungry and this point, and it took even longer to be able to put in our main entree order. We had to snag down another waitress to put in our order awhile later. I went with the octopus and my date went with the leg of lamb. The octopus itself was tasty, and the presentation was nice, but the olive oil sauce itself tasted so similar to the mackerel dish and the pickled cabbage (?) it presented with was not really edible. I left feeling a little hungry because the small piece of octopus alone did not fill me up, especially for the price tag. Overall, we did enjoy our dinner at The Little Club but we left feeling a bit disappointed in the service and also left still hungry! read more

I've been to The Little Club for dinner a couple of times, but never for a holiday where they had a set menu. As always, their ambiance, staff & overall experience is amazing. But I have to deduct a star for how some of the courses were executed on their Valentine's Day menu. - Course 1- tuna crudo and latke were both great and would love to see these in their regular menus. Course 2- Octopus terrine was good but I think to balance off all the "cold" in the dish, it should have been served with warm onions. Oyster mushrooms when eaten with the crème fraiche was delightful but it became a little too salty when eaten on its own. Course 3- Rib Pork Roast with quince algrodolce was definitely not executed well. The pork was tender and juicy but the flavors of the quince algrodolce and ginger was over powering. I think it would have been better if the ginger was finely grated or minced into the dish instead of in cube to avoid the unpleasant spiciness. read more

Chic and contemporary "little" restaurant, hence the name. Service was good and so was the food - got the bread with whipped ricotta (SO good ), roasted carrots, and steak sandwich (a bit tough and expensive for the size). The chocolate pudding was super rich (but good). The espresso martini was a good one. I guess my takeaway is that yes the food was tasty - but very eclectic and very flavorful. Lots of flavors happening, that it's a must to eat slow and probably a better idea to share the dishes as they are very rich and can be oily. read more

The best spot to try something a little different. I love a good tapas bar and this place delivers. The plates are smaller so you can get a few different things to share. They have a unique range of food and it's all delicious, they also have a great drink menu. Everything always tastes so fresh and full of different flavours. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is small but has a great intimate feel to it with outside seating in the summer. read more

Super solid restaurant doing amazing work in a tight kitchen in buffalo. The rutabaga was slightly salty but was exactly the type of dish that make you rethink a vegetable. You wouldn't do it at home and it's an amazing feat. The mackerel on the other hand was fairly bland and the price to value wasn't there. Next time I would go for one of the breads and another small plate over the fish. The one thing that really makes me want to give five stars is the wine and cocktail menu. Everyone knows they have incredible natural organic growers but they don't get enough recognition for their cocktails . They are truly out of this world good creative and can pair just as well with the food as the wine! Check out this fine establishment! read more

I spent twenty minutes writing a fantastic review for this place and then my dog jostled my phone and in a blink it was lost. My synopsis is: 1/2 price happy hour - 4 wines by the glass; 3 or 5 oz pours, bottles 1/2 price as well. Food is delightful, Bread Hive sourdough! The kitchen is open so you can watch the lone chef do his magic. Cauliflower gratin whaaat?! Move over Brussels sprouts. Service is spot on and intuitive...well versed on the wine and attentive without hovering. The Little Club is not a dinner destination but a lovely spot for a cinq au sept. If you're like my party you'll get carried away and make an evening of the little plates and many glasses of wine. We were all planning our return before we were even out the door. read more

I first went to the Little Club last summer with my older son, the food was so good I was looking for another opportunity (or excuse) to go. When my sister was in town, we went again. She was also impressed. When my younger son visited me recently, we went again. The restaurant is always packed. I made a reservation each time to make sure we can get in. They change the menu frequently, but some of the dishes stay. The small dishes we ordered were all very tasty. The roasted carrots and the fennel are must gets! We had the soft shell crab this last time, it was a seasonal special. The large dishes we like are the leg of lamb, the sirloin steak and the pork schnitzel. The coq au vin looked very good, we will need to try the next time. My son and I shared a Panna Cotta for dessert. It was a good portion and very delicious. I am not much of a wine or drink person, but they do have a good list of wine and cocktails. When I was there with my sister in early June, our waitress Courtney was super helpful in recommending dishes. read more

I like the ambiance. I like the wine. I like the bathrooms. But this is not a place where you could make a night out of it. It fills up fast and gets a little crowded and overwhelming. Maybe check it out on an off night to get the full experience. When I arrived on a Friday, happy hour was going on. I ordered a wine that was on the list of half priced happy hour specials. It was a great semi-dry white. It's extremely pricey and I find it difficult to spend that amount, when it is not happy hour prices, on a glass of wine when I can get a whole bottle of wine at the liquor store around the corner for a little more than the price of one glass. read more

Another great meal at The Little Club - the wine we had for happy hour was superb ! Food was phenomenal - unlike the review left 6 days ago saying the steak sandwich was chewy - mine was fantastic tender and full of flavor - I LOVED it. The pasta dish was unreal - it was the spaghetti al limon. . We got 2 little plates - the spring buratta and the fennel and chili butter. See my pics to see it all ! Our server Cody was amazing . We will be back again soon. Love this place. Oh ! And we sat on the beautiful patio !!! read more

Just had the best foodie dinner! Wished I took more photos. Everyone at home was busy except my foodie teen and me. She has never been to the Little Club and I go rarely. Melinda (?) and Maggie our severs had excellent suggestions and did not make us feel rushed even though we were late. We shared 3 small plates (beets with tahini, fennel with herbs, carrots and burrata) and the sirloin steak. Everything was delicious, beautifully plated, not something you could make at home. The steak was served medium rare and sliced, was so tender with a bitter salad and a creamy sauce. The big farm carrots were roasted perfectly with burrata that definitely is not from the grocery store. The herbs on the fennel were all fresh. The tahini with the beets was the best way I have ever had tahini. The French red wine on tap was a perfect light and dry accompaniment. read more

I hadn't been here in a while but I will be back soon. It was such a great experience. My friend and I stopped at a whim. We sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. it is no joke. The fish sandwich was prepared with several steps on the fresh fish alone. The bread looked fresh and the woman who finished the fish with a blow torch took great pride in lining up every piece of bread, and every plate she put together. The entire kitchen was intricately assembling dishes that looked so delicious! We had already been to the Italian Cultural center so we only had room for apps but they were mouth watering. Beets and potatoes were transformed into unique combinations of flavors with a variety of vegetables that did not disappoint. I can not wait to go back!! read more

Being a wine lover, I needed to check out the hype of The Little Club. It's actually just that, it's quite small on the inside, and for a wine bar, I expected there to be many more options of wine than there actually was. They have a small tapas menu, and unfortunately I didn't order anything off that menu. We went around 9:30pm/10pm, and there were several bartenders, however the service was a little slow. However, they were friendly. They have beautiful wine glasses, which seems like a small thing, but it made a difference for me. They also have a few beers on tap for those who don't fancy a glass of vino. When it's all said and done, it's a cute spot and it makes a good place to stop by for a drink. read more

We did the New Years' eve 2020 dinner for two with the wine pairing. OMG, it was as good or better than the Holiday dinner. I am in love with their set dinners and wine pairing.

I also love how the wine pairings come in these cute little glass bottles. I highly, highly recommend them! read more

This was the third and LAST time I will dine here. My husband and I dined outside the patio. We ordered a few dishes and all but the anchovies appetizer were disappointing. The roasted carrots were soggy with too much oil. The lamb meatballs had an odd taste going down and an aftertaste that lingered. We each ate one and shoved it to the side. I ordered the steak sandwich and asked the waiter if I would be able to pay for an upgrade for a side salad instead of having the chips. He said he would check with the kitchen but it shouldn't be a problem. He came back a few minutes later and asked what kind of salad I would like. Coincidentally, a man in a suit walked across the street from Lombardo's and walked into the Little Club. TWO minutes later, the waiter comes to our table and notifies me that he would not be able to give me a side salad and that I would have to pay an additional $16 for an entire salad! Forget that, GIVE ME THE CHIPS and say bye to this customer! My "steak sandwich" was a glorified overpriced chewy roast beef sandwich that made the focaccia bread....again,ugh... soggy. I begrudgingly ate half of it it since it was the first meal of my day and I paid $26. The 2 stars is for the friendly waiter, who understood I was disappointed. We both ate half our meals and refused to box any of the overpriced meal. The waiter attempted a nice gesture and gave me a digestif that I could only tolerate 2 sips. I regret not waiting 30 minutes to dine at Oliver's around the corner. Oliver's are always willing to accommodate and craft great cocktails. read more

I have traveled the world and enjoyed meals at some amazing restaurants. I simply cannot say enough about The Little Club. They nail it on every count. The food is unparalleled and literally Michelin star quality. There always seems to be like 40 people working there and everyone is amazingly friendly and attentive. The vibe is amazing--very welcoming and genuine. The value for what you get is stunning. Also, I'm an incredibly picky eater/dietary nightmare (gluten free, vegetarian, don't like fish, etc.) and everything I've ever had at The Little Club knocks my socks off. Best of all, the place has a "realness" to it -- it's not a poser-scene like so many restaurants that try too hard. This place just "is," and in so being blows away the competition. read more

I had been to The Little Club awhile ago and had such a great time that I decided to plan a little girls' night there last weekend! My sister's wedding got delayed by a year so we were there to celebrate it almost finally being her wedding. I contacted TLC a few weeks prior and asked if they would be open to creating a customized menu for us. They were absolutely incredible! Worked with a guest's allergies as well as customizing both alcohol pairings and non-alcoholic pairings for a few non-drinkers in the crew. We had the best time and are all grateful to Chef Mike, the amazing manager Sarah who organized it all, and owner Tommy. TLC is a gem and we are so grateful for the wonderful experience they curated for us. They definitely went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. read more

This is one of my absolute favorite spots to meet up with the girls and get some food and wine. Their wine menu is fantastic and their food is to DIE for. I've never ate something here that I didn't love. Their bread and oil dip; decadent. Their warm olives and soft cheese; mind blowing. They serve an assortment of small plates. It's not cheap but it's always worth it. The place is a bit small, so making a reservation is prob a good idea. And the music is soft enough that you can actually have a conversation without yelling. Totally recommend!!!! read more
