While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, I had a very nice "Old Fashioned". We started with two dozen oysters. We received a couple of bad ones and they were promptly replaced with four new ones. I had the NY Strip and asked for "medium rare". The steak arrived and was perfectly cooked and had a very nice char on it. The steak was very flavorful and juicy. Service was impeccable. The restaurant was laid out nicely and there was plenty of space for our large group. Overall, I would say Giancarlo's will be a must visit, for when I'm in Buffalo.

It was very good! Can't wait come back and try lunch and dinner. But this review on brunch. Of course started with a Guava Bellini, yum! The table had, blueberry poppyseed pancakes, French toast, bacon, The OG which was eggs, sausage/bacon with breakfast potatoes, and Creole biscuits and gravy. This is what I ordered it was jalapeno cheddar cornbread biscuit, chorizo gravy over eggs, which I don't eat so I held this off, BUT I added fried chicken breast. This plate of food was so delicious! I could of used some more heat, BUT the flavor was amazing. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy with great flavor. They cook the bacon crispy! The French toast was very good as well. Everyone at the table was pleased. We were celebrating a birthday so they gave us a choice of a dessert. We went with the lemon almond cake, and OMG it was delicious. Came out very warm and topped with poached pears, it was delicious!

What a wonderful experience we just had at this charming establishment on Main Street in Amherst,…read moreNew York. The cuisine was exquisite; creative, bold. Warm onion bread with salted butter brought to the table immediately. My companion's pork Milanese was a generous cut topped with arugula and dandelion greens, vinaigrette and grated cheese, all served in a delicately flavored vodka sauce. My brown buttered scallops were served in a butternut squash purée with hazelnuts, a touch of Sherry and topped with pickled apple. Lovely. We chose for a side, the crispy brussels sprouts which were sprinkled with grated hazelnuts, served with smoky bacon chunks and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Perfection. Their selection of wine, beer, and other drinks is small, but well thought out. My companion had a creation called "Common Exponential" which was decidedly orange flavored with cinnamon and cloves. She loved it. For dessert we shared a generous slice of a magnificent lemon - almond cake with poached pears and good coffee, mine with real cream. I was impressed by the quality of the table setting. The La Tavola flatware is beautifully weighted and unmistakably upscale, while the Robert Gordon stoneware has a handsome, handcrafted look that feels both modern and sophisticated. These are small details, perhaps, but they contribute enormously to the sense that Grezi has put real thought into the entire dining experience. The candlelight and single red flower in a bud vase added to the intimacy of the evening. And the service was spectacular. Cynthia and her colleagues made sure that everything was perfect. They came by often enough to make certain we didn't need anything, but not so often as to become annoying. Cynthia was warm and friendly and I can say that all of the staff who came to our table truly seemed to enjoy what they were doing, and that matters to diners who seek a complete culinary experience. We intend to return as often as it takes to sample everything that this exciting Restaurant has to offer.

There was not one dish I was served that I feel was worth the price…read more We had focaccia and tuna tartare as appetizers. The Margherita focaccia was by far the worst of the night, soggy and flavorless, the focaccia was nothing like a normal one. The tuna had a nice presentation though it was quite mediocre, the rice was hard in some parts and seemed quite old, the tuna itself was fine but the dish as a whole was maybe on par with sushi you'd get at a wegmans. As my entrée I got the carrot papardella, everything seemed overcooked, hardly any lobster and what little was happened to be tough and rather flavorless, of course it was the same with the shrimp and crab. The pasta was overcooked and stuck to itself and the sauce was quite sweet and far too hot, twenty minutes into the meal and it was still steaming, continuing to turn the dish into mush. The meal was for three people and came out to be $240 after tax and tip, the service was nice but considering the praise this restaurant got I'm sure it's went downhill. The highlight of the meal was the complementary bread at the start.

Also, our server over heard us talking about my birthday and was so kind and brought me a slice ok cake with a candle, just so sweet. The food was just as good, except my steak unfortunately. We started the meal with the wagyu meatballs, crab and lobster fondue and pork belly. All three were delicious! The pork belly was my personal favorite It paired so well with the Brussels sprouts slaw and carrot ginger puree. For my meal I got the 10.0z filet with hash browns. Now, yes I am a don't like pink in my steak, so I did order medium well. Unfortunately my steak came well well well over done. One of my friends ordered a medium steak and felt it was over cooked as well. My steak was not edible at all. The hash browns, I thought we're going to be like shredded potatoes, but they were not. The were actually very large fried like loaded potatoes sticks. My problem was they tasted fried in old oil had a bad after taste. For dessert we tried the banana cream trifle, sooo good, along with a slice of molten chocolate bomb cake, YUM! The service, apps and dessert saved the meal for me . I would come back again and try.

It was a Thursday evening, & the place was super busy/ a good sign. They do not take reservations, but we were seated after waiting only about 15 minutes. The restaurant is large, rustic, & high energy! Our server placed rolls with cinnamon butter as soon as we were seated. Also a bag of peanuts in the shell/ all complimentary . The rolls were fresh, the butter good, not overly sweet. Our server, Michael arrived & took our orders for drinks. After perusing the menu, I was hankering for ribs, .decided on the half rack, you can choose from an ample list of sides/ 2 per dinner. And there's a special menu offer/ $13.99 dinners, served before 6pm- very budget friendly. My ribs did not disappoint , very tender, falling off the bone, well seasoned.. I ordered a baked potato & fresh veggies/ carrots & broccoli. My friends enjoyed steaks & chicken critters( breaded chicken fingers) the house salad was very generous & looked delicious! I was very happy with my rib dinner/ definitely agreed with all the positive comments I'd read & heard. My only complaint was the loud music/made it somewhat difficult to have a conversation, & the table/ booth for the 4 of us seemed a bit crowded. I'd also suggest giving diners who order ribs, a packet or two of hand wipes.. those sticky yummy ribs were "finger lickin'good!!" The great friendly, prompt service, & very good food certainly was worth the minor issues! I highly recommend Texas Roadhouse & look forward to visiting again

**Catered Event: Board of Directors' Dinner**…read more Numerous locals recommended Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant as an excellent choice for formal occasions, and it proved to be a wonderful venue for our Board of Directors' dinner. I hosted a dinner for twenty (board members and their guests) and was especially impressed by the catering manager, who patiently guided me through the many decisions involved in planning the event and personally welcomed me on the evening of the dinner. The waitstaff were attentive and seemed to anticipate our needs, and the private dining room was both relaxing and quiet. We chose the "King's Table," which allowed all twenty guests to sit together around one large table. The room and table settings were beautiful, creating an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. The event menu allowed me to select three salads, three entrées, and two desserts for our guests. Printed menus were placed at every setting, offering a gracious welcome and making the ordering process easy and efficient. I heard from many guests that their meals were excellent. I especially enjoyed the beet salad with goat cheese and the crème brûlée cheesecake. My filet mignon, unfortunately, was tougher than I had expected. The pecan-crusted salmon looked marvelous, and I found myself wishing I had chosen it instead. The pricing was also extremely reasonable for the quality of the setting, service, and overall experience. Each dinner was $85 and included a salad, entrée, and dessert. Bacchus provided a beautiful and memorable evening for our board, and I would gladly recommend it for a private dinner or formal gathering.

The agnoloti wasnt your normal small hats but rather more interesting ravioli. But who cares it's shape--it was balanced, housemade pasta that made me very happy. The steak had that good crust and it wasnt your average steak house steak. It was as good but with different flavors. A great order.
