Best place in town. The food is fantastic and always consistent. Reasonably priced as well.
A local institution that never fails to impress in terms of the food or the hospitality of it's staff. The outdoor patio transports you into a lovely oasis in the middle of Buffalo. The food is mostly Italian with a twist. We had a stuffed portobello mushroom as an appetizer which came with a lovely sauce. I had the eggplant which was great. We didn't have room for dessert but the people in a table next to ours did and it looked and smelled great.
The building has a charm to it. Bricks and plants, a patio and nice parking space. The menu has multiple options, most of them in big plates. The focaccia is really good, as well as most of the pastas like the seafood linguini. No room for dessert.
We went to Left bank for Mother’s Day as it is one of my daughter’s favorite restaurants. It did not look like a place that I would enjoy as I am a very basic eater. However, I was pleasantly surprised as everything was spectacular. Our waiter Devon was so friendly and accommodating. Everything was timed perfectly and he met all our wants and needs. I had one of the specials and it was one of the better things I’ve eaten in a long time. There were three of us mothers at the table and we were all happy. Highly recommend
Amazing and attentive service. Delicious food. Trendy, funky, intimate yet casual vibe with upscale food and drinks. The ravioli is insane. In a good way. definitely a dish for 2-3 people to split. We had a large party for UB graduation. Very accommodating. Didn't miss a beat. Kept our drinks full and even boxed up our leftovers. No restaurant provides that service anymore. Very impressed. Will make this a must stop on our next visit to Buffalo.
Grabbed dinner with friends here and it was quite a treat. I don’t recall what cocktail I had but it was nice although I wish the wine selection was more varied.The halibut was my choice for meal because most things had pork in it. It was cooked to perfection but I found the sauce paired with it consumed the rest of the ingredients in the dish— causing it to be extremely overwhelming to summarize.The asparagus wrapped with smoked salmon here was brilliant. I mean unexpectedly good. If you like big portions and tend to appreciate pork or have no dietary limitations or preferences then this is the place for you.
The best ravioli I've ever had - absolutely phenomenal!! We also tried the carrot pappardelle and that was equally delicious. Everything was very fresh with high quality ingredients. I got a Manhattan and Lavender Gin drink. They were both good but nothing special. Very nice setup but poor acoustics, would recommend some nice background music or something so it doesn't feel like a group conversation for the whole dining area. Despite this, I will 100% go back. The prices are nothing compared to the quality of your meal. You will not be disappointed.
Amazing food! Very happy with the service. Friendly staff. It is pricy but worth every penny
Recently went there for a belated Valentines Day dinner on Wednesday 2-16-2022 . Upon arrival we were informed there were no tables available due to reservations(it was 7:30PM) we would have to sit at the bar. It was late now so we said ok, although there were only three other patrons in the entire restaurant. We received no bread before the meal , portions were not even close to being the same. His was twice the size of mine. I understand men eat more but it was to obvious ! We finished eating it is now almost 9:00 pm and "guess what " ? not another person came into that restaurant. NEVER WILL GO BACK !MUST BE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS OR HOW THEY ARE TREATED.
Left Bank is perfection every time. Tuna tartare, flat breads, and eggplant were incredible. Wine list is diverse and interesting. Bring back brunch !!
