What a find!!! I almost don't want to leave a review because…read morethis place should really remain a secret !!!!! I lived in Dunkirk for several years, but the changes that they have made to the pier and boardwalk are really unbelievable !!!! Shops & restaurants and this gem!! Let me be very clear in saying that there are maybe three tables inside; this is definitely a grab and go restaurant . However there is a huge patio with many many tables even if they are full, which is doubtful, you could certainly grab a spot on the boardwalk nearby . We happened to have a beautiful night and we have an event to go to at SUNY Fredonia so a friend recommended this place . We waited about 15 minutes to place our order. After ordering we enjoyed our drinks out on the patio while we waited for our food. I opted for an alcoholic beverage while my son had a virgin piña colada. Our number was called maybe 15 minutes later and we were served absolute deliciousness. My son ordered the California, which was a delicious crispy fish sandwich while I opted for an Asian chicken wrap. Our food was absolutely delicious. Served just right. The food temperature was perfect and the portions were ample . The service was wonderful. If I ever come upon a beautiful night again in Dunkirk, I will definitely be visiting this place !!!!

Firstly, it's late May, so it's a happy overlap of two of my favorite seasons: Oysters and blue…read morecrab! Stormin' Crab offers their blue crabs one of two ways: Either added as a side to any boil (topped with your favorite seasonings), or served as a fried crab basket. The oyster appetizer (sold as six or twelve) can be raw or grilled. I adore them raw, and these are Bluepoints! They were plump, glistening, and had a great sweet and briney flavor. My husband's gumbo was thick with rice and andouille sausage, with baby shrimp. It also had a powerful black pepper kick. Very tasty! The boil arrived on a stainless steel platter in a large plastic bag, ballooned out with steam. We had chosen the butter, medium spicy. I thought the saltiness overpowered the flavor of the seafood, but your mileage may vary. Combo C had so much food we took a third of it home! We really enjoyed our meal here!

Update- reducing to 2 stars as I got sick in the middle of the night. I think the seafood was…read morefresh enough but assume it was the grease. I haven't gotten sick from their butter base in the past. I used to love the seafood boil here but they switched to flavored oil rather than butter. It's not the same taste or texture. It left the boil tasting under seasoned. I don't think we will be back.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant at least four times when we make an annual trip to…read moreCanada. We have enjoyed the food every single time. Cocktails were delicious and so were our meals. The oysters aren't pictured here but they were absolutely perfect like always. Both fish dishes were expertly cooked and each had a lovely sauce to go along with it. The staff are always friendly and give great recommendations and suggestions for ordering oysters and making selections. This is a wonderful gem that we visit every year for good reason. They are incredibly consistent and we enjoy our meal every time.

This was one of the highlights. But first- a warning! Be careful how you book a table here. I went through a link on their website and it carried me to a booking site that they no longer use. Tock perhaps? It's been a couple of weeks and I can't recall exactly. But it's better to call the restaurant directly and book through them. Because of this snafu beyond my control, and a late flight into Buffalo, we almost did not get to Dine at Weinkeller, which would have been a huge loss. Thankfully, the hostess was able to work something out and they got us in. We are so glad they did! Everything was so delicious! The Goats cheese was awesome and I can't stop thinking about the amazing Kona rubbed tenderloin! I'm not too shabby in the kitchen myself, but my wife's Cedar plank salmon was perfection- crispy outside ,juicy inside. Also, can we talk about my daughter's Chicken noodle soup? Sooo good! We were purely here on a quick getaway to see the Falls, so I can't imagine myself ever being in this area again. But if I were, I would HAVE to revisit Weinkeller.

Was a bit hesitant when we first saw the restaurant as it's downstairs and dark, however there were…read morea lot of positive reviews and one of our guests had a long list of food allergies. Much to our surprise the waitress was very upbeat and recommended everything on the menu which is often a bad sign. She was absolutely correct in that every dish we ordered was excellent, including the specialty cocktails! She was also very good in communicating with the kitchen regarding the food allergies and everyone at our table was very pleased with the dinner experience.

I don't know why we never came last year but we finally tried it and will definitely be back…read more Prices are high but comparable to anyone else that serves lobster rolls. My son enjoyed his Connecticut roll. I had the California lobster roll with avocado and wasabi crema. So good. They come with house made chips seasoned with Old Bay. Very good. Not greasy. Next time I want to try the lobster tots. They have a cooler with soda, beer, and wine minis, as well as a slushy machine. Service is fast and friendly. Lots of outdoor seating. The location at Olcott Beach is great. It's right by a small ferris wheel, and in walking distance to the shops, beach, carousel park, and Krull Park. A great addition to the town.

Well I'm happy to say that I was not deceived, these were fresh and of good size ( we got the sampler). I was most impressed by Connecticut roll and the Fire roll, the New England wasnt bad just didnt hit as hard as that buttery or spicy taste. The kids tenders and tots, the little yelper crushed those and left super happy. The only meh thing for me was the clam chowder, I love a thick chowder and the misses loved this one because it wasn't. We agreed to disagree on this. But absolutely great experience overall and we are looking forward to visiting the new Lewiston spot next.

Lucia's is hands down one of our favorite places to eat in all of Buffalo. The staff is always…read moreincredibly friendly (though the older dude we had last time was a little too customer service-y no matter how much we tried to just talk real) and the place has a close quarters but still calm and collected vibe. The food and drink are always exceptional. Whether you order off the regular menu or grab one of the specials, it's always exceptional. We've been several times now and gotten the cajun pasta, meatballs, fish of various sorts, crab rangoon appetizer, etc. Everything always comes out in a reasonable amount of time - never too fast or too slow - and is always solid. The cocktails are also on point with both the classics and a couple modern takes here and there. If I had to pick on anything (aside from trying to sell A5 Wagyu for $160 and claim it's breaking even), is the menu they put on their own website. Someone took a grainy cell photo and put it up there. Come on guys, some has the digital original. Just copy/paste. All in all, fabulous place that I can't say enough good things about. Make sure to get a reservation well in advance or you won't get in, especially on a busy night!

I made my reservation months in advance for a birthday dinner with my mom and sister after hearing…read moreso many great things about Lucia's on the Lake. I was really excited to finally try it. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a great atmosphere. We did get quite a few stares from other patrons throughout the night, which made us feel a little out of place, but the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming and that didn't go unnoticed. My sister and I both ordered the steak, while my mom got the braised short ribs. I added lump crab to my steak, which I honestly could've done without. It came with a butter sauce, but the crab itself was dry and pretty lackluster. The steak was good, though my green beans were a bit too undercooked for my liking. The real star of the table was my mom's braised short ribs. They tasted like pure comfort food, almost like a really good pot roast. The gravy and mashed potatoes together were perfect. Overall, it was a good meal, but I think my expectations were just a little too high going in. I'd come back, but next time I'd be ordering the short ribs. 7.7/10

We went…read moreearly --and I recommend going early dinner both for parking and seating-- but there were enough people sitting that I'd be in the way getting snaps. Also many people waiting to pick up orders, so the front was also too busy for getting pix. Another thing I would recommend is sitting at table instead of booth. We sat in a booth. The problem with the booths, or at least the first booth from door, is either the seats are too low or the table is too high. Terrific fish fry: haddock with two sides. Loved the light breading on this. Also available is the Buffalo classic fish fry-- beer battered and fried, standard sides... fries, Cole slaw, mac salad. Very interesting menu. Inviting. So I will be accepting the invitation to come back for the Portside (lobster sandwich), and for the seafood fries. More reviews to follow. Very personable employees, enjoyable decor. Music a tad loud, and incongruous. I read a review from last year that described the music, though also too loud, as R&B. That sounds just right. Maybe dance music gets people to eat faster, desirable for quicker table turnover. There were people waiting for tables as we left. Only negative for me was thin ranch dressing and thin tartar sauce.

I've been wanting to try the seafood fries, and while the flavor was spot on, there was a noticeable lack of seafood. I doubt I would have that again. I'm any case, the fish fry was as fine as ever, and the shrimp po' boy. Oh, those shrimps! I had a lemonade, no extra flavor. Delicious! And don't skip a baked good. I had lemon cake, which was amazing! I did get to hear the band on this night. Definitely a good vibe for the room. Classic jazzy tunes, not too loud.
