    It all started off with a very warm welcome by the hostess. A very friendly greeting to it. When sitting at the bar waiting for our table it was very pleasant. bartenders were very attentive. Our waiter Chris was excellent , beyond excellent. his side kick was also excellent. the attention to detail by these professional`s was amazing. the food was delicious. We live in Rochester and wished it was as good as the buffalo branch. Rochester B&B has a very cold feeling to it and a different vibe to it. Hope to be back VERY soon....

    At 630 pm Via open table arranged 715 time,, called by hostess heads-up running late asked about possible accepting later time which was fine with us, glad we arrived at 8 and hostess very accommodating; offered us table in dining room or the lounge which was quieter with college football on with volume off and fireplaces warm. Waiter and hostess very attentive; we split fig pizza slightly sweet and perfectly made, and seafood with risotto which had abundant well cooked seafood and of course perfect risotto. Negronis were excellent and reasonably priced. We had a pleasant evening of conversation, food, football and great service. Great place to eat.
