    My husband and I made a reservation at Sonny D’s for Valentine’s Day. The atmosphere was beautiful. The restaurant was super clean and modern and our waitress was a gem. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend. I will definitely come back when I am in the new Buffalo area again.

    It took a little while for server to come once we were seated; server was pleasant and professional. Our food took a while as well and we had a concert to attend so we had to rush when we had given ourselves plenty of time. Food was good

    Five stars all around. We were in from out of town and made a reservation since we weren't sure how busy they would be for a Sunday brunch service. They had plenty of free tables for small and large parties. It was busy but the restaurant is rather large. Our server, Hannah, was absolutely delightful. She was very kind, patient and funny. The food was delicious. We all shared a few dishes. The waffles were so sweet and fluffy and the avocado toast was the best avocado toast I've ever had. I highly recommend ordering it with a poached egg. In the "occasion" section of the reservation I had noted that we were celebrating a birthday and they surprised us by bringing out their cannoli dip which was SO delicious. We will definitely be making this a regular brunch spot for future visits!

    Dinner with friends at 6pm on a Saturday in the covered patio area. Service was OK but one salad arrived without dressing. Food generally was good, but the noise level went up and up until it was nearly impossible to talk or hear. The venue would be helped by the installation of some soft materials, maybe hung from the ceiling. Inside areas are probably even louder.
