Actually 4.5. Excellent first experience. The service was attentive (Mallory), the ambiance was beautiful & the food was good: oysters (though a few shell pieces), filet, and salmon with scallops (beautiful flavor combos and textures, but the couscous was cold). My complaint (not worth deducting stars) is that it was arctic cold in there. When we went outside to the 60° it was much warmer.

One of the best brunches I have ever had. I went with my husband and a friend, and we shared the bread plate, which had popovers, fresh breads, apple butter and fresh butter to share. It was to die for- the largest popovers I have ever seen. I then had the french toast, which was incredible, sticky, sweet, and delicious, with an aromatic twist of rosemary and orange in the mix. My friend and I shared the grits, which was a delicious and creamy delight added to our already decadent meal. My husband had an omelette with a salad (he has dietary restrictions) and that was wonderful as well. We shared a large french press of coffee, and hung around for a few hours, talking, nibbling and enjoying ourselves. We were not rushed out or made to feel we were taking up space or time- we were allowed to just be lazy and enjoy the late, long morning. It was such a delight- we even got to speak with the Chef, who was such a wonderfully sweet and open man, and talked about the different things we ate and answered our questions on what flavors we were tasting in our various dishes. He mentioned they make their own pasta and gnocchi, and I can’t wait to go back and try that.

This restaurant was amazing in every way. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. The ambience was romantic and elegant. We started with the complimentary popovers and calamari. For our entrees we got the lobster bucatini and the crab stuffed salmon. For dessert we got the tiramisu and cannoli cheesecake which was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! 100% recommend this place! Mallory was our server and she was great, very sweet and attentive.

Amazing! I held my baby shower Sunday morning with 15 attendants and this was the perfect venue.

We had an upstairs room partitioned off with a half curtain for a bit of privacy from other patrons. The place itself is absolutely gorgeous as is, but they welcomed us to decorate to our preference. I wanted “winter woodland” and this couldn’t have been a more perfect space that just naturally fell into that theme!

We had a mimosa bar, fruit bowl, and popovers with cream, vanilla raspberry spread, and caramel sauce. A French press coffee service was brought out between appetizers and brunch. The drinks we’re absolutely lovely! The decaf coffee didn’t even need creamer–so smooth.

The service was absolutely amazing. With the half curtain, we we’re in full view of the bar, so at all times the servers could see when we were ready for the coffee service, when the mimosa bar needed restocking, when the plates needed to be cleared, and waters refilled. They were prompt, polite, and added wonderfully to the experience.

I had 3 choices for brunch: chicken and waffles, eggs benedict, and cheese omlette. Each dish was absolutely WONDERFUL and the perfect amount of food. I had the chicken and waffles and was so happy with it! Since we started with appetizers, the brunch portion was just enough for each guest to finish the plate and not be overly full. I asked around and each guest enjoyed her breakfast immensely.

Carte Blanche was so accommodating and kind while we played a little game, unwrapped presents (they even brought out a trash hamper just for wrapping paper!), and welcomed the smokers to step out on the upstairs patio. When our party was over, they even helped me walk my presents out to the car. Truly above and beyond!

I absolutely cannot say enough nice things about this experience. The venue, the food, the drinks, the service–everything came together into the most perfect baby shower a girl could ever dream of! Thank you so much for making the day so special not just for me, but for all my guests. If you have a shower coming up, I can not think of a better place to host it!

We began with the Caesar salad which was very good. Their house dressing was creamy and flavorful.
Then I got the chicken Parmesan, and my boyfriend got the lobster pasta. We both ordered the gluten free pasta; which was great to hear they had! We each had a glass of wine with dinner. Both were great. I had the Crios Malbec (red) and he the Moscato D’asti (sparkling white)
The red sauce with the chicken parm was sweet and super flavorful. The lobster pasta had great claw meat and was also delicious!

Visited Carte Blanche a couple days ago, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and setting. The side outside seating, reminded me of a street cafe on Mulberry St, in NYC, obviously reminiscent of Italian bistros. The complimentary pop-overs were warm and tasty with the red roasted butter. My bf enjoyed a nice IPA in a “real man’s” mug as he calls it (tall Steiner). The waitress was kind and complimented us both as a couple. The service was slow as to be expected in these times, but the owner Tim, present at on site was completely gracious and apologetic for our wait, and comped our entire meal. The lobster Bucatini was excellent with a smooth buttery crème sauce and no shortage of lobster claw meat. The chicken Parmesan was plentiful, my bf had enough for seconds. This is a sweet spot for a quaint date night with sweet oysters or a brunch and drink with the girls. We will surely return despite the wait, as the staff and owner provided great customer service and the food was delectable and exquisitely made.

Hands-down the most incredible meal I’ve had in Buffalo.
I went with my family on a Thursday evening. There was something on the menu for everyone!

The attention to detail on the food presentation was beautiful. It was delicious and each dish was paired well with the sides and sauces. For appetizers we had the mussels Dijon, a tasty twist on a traditional favorite of ours, as well as the asparagus Bernaise, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Highly recommend the scallop risotto and the salmon, served with tobacco onions, giving the dish the perfect crunch. Truly was the best salmon dish I’ve ever tasted. For desert, we tried the dark chocolate olive oil cake which was also delicious.

Hats off to the new chef, Conor Braungart! He let us know he is excited to frequently change up the menu, offering his guests an exciting new experience every time they come in. We will definitely be back!

Birthday date and it was perfect- patio seating to view our adorable Hamburg Village with the sweetest and most attentive Server, Mallory. Staff had Champagne waiting for us. JJ from the bar came out to introduce himself and wish me happy birthday as well! Antipasto salad was so fresh and the dressing was 10/10. Lobster Bucatini was amazing- beautiful sauce, great amount of lobster meat and pasta was al dente . PEI oysters were lush. As always at Carte Blanche, a perfect night out! Thanks again xo
