Showed up between brunch and dinner and was welcomed to enjoy a much needed drink after Garden Walk. Both young men were very gracious. Will definitely be back for dinner.

Fantastic summer evening meal. They know how to do grilled romaine ?

My husband and I finally made it to Iron Tail last weekend and absolutely loved it!We opted to sit at the bar on a Saturday evening. We did not have a reservation. It did seem like a fair amount of people coming in for the dining room did have resrvations.The bartender was polite and knowlegable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We can't wait to go back.

This place is amazing. I have made three trips here in the last two months and the food has never let me down. The quality of the food, the portions, the drinks, everything just right. The Shukahuka particularly is very tasty. The bread that comes with it could be a bit doughy but I’m willing to overlook it because the overall plate is so tasty. Honestly, I think for how good the food is and the location and the ambiance of the restaurant, the food is underpriced. Also, there is a general feeling of inclusivity and the place is very welcoming. 5/5.

The food was so delicious! The hummus plate is a gigantic order that could definitely be split between four people. Their pricing was fairly decent and there were so many dishes that I wish I could have tried. Friendly service as well.

Great potential cute little modern type spot, unfortunately my steak was farrrrr too charred, the only flavor the steak gave off was burnt. The desert was fantastic and the waitress and bar tender were amazing as well, will try again soon and edit this review

Really great place! Love seeing a Rusty Nail on the cocktail menu. Friendly bartender, waiter, other customers and all around atmosphere. Delicious oysters and amazing butternut squash soup. One of the best burgers in Buffalo too. Also, the gnocchi was delicious.

Went with a group of girlfriends and we can't say enough about how good our meals were. We got the crispy potatoes and hummus to share (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). I got the vegan bowl with Octopus tail, I know not vegan! The stuffed squash had a nice texture of sweet puree and crunch from the Quinoa and Channa. The Octopus was cooked PERFECTLY. My friends got the pasta special with Octopus and theirs were cooked perfectly as well! .Our Waitress was fun and full of positive energy who answered all are 800 questions and didn't seem annoyed at all, she was great!

So this place could be better. First we showed up when they first opened. Most of the staff was either at the bar or standing in the upstairs seating area. We joked about how empty it was but we were assured that we weoutget all of the attention. This was not the case. Our waiter took our order for both appetizers and dinner but then we waited 40 mins for a beer salad and oysters. Dinner arrived shortly afterwards but it was a mixed bag. My wife liked what she ordered however I ordered the Brown butter gnocchi with pork belly. The gnocchi wes excellent. I really liked that they were firm from being sauteed. The pork belly was under seasoned and felt like an afterthought. Overall the food was ok but waiting for our apps and underseasoned pork is the reason for my poor review.

Something for everyone even vegan and vegetarian, staff was friendly and the ambience was inviting, would definitely recommend, go check out this new place we are happy we did
