The envirnonment was very nice, however, I didn’t like the Cider Burnt Ends dish (pictured with spinach) I ordered. I found it to be unblanced in flavor and entirely too sweet. It was also on the small side, and most of the burnt ends were solid fat. The soup of the day (Miso Mushroom made with Flat 12 mushrooms) was better. It was chock-full of fresh mushrooms, but again I felt the flavor profile was too umami, it needed some other balancing flavor going on. My friend ordered a flatbread sandwich and she wasn’t very excited about hers either. We didn’t order drinks but from observing other orders it looked like they have some talented baristas. I’ve heard good things about Cornelia so I may give it a second try.

Enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Cornelia! Each dish was simply amazing. AKG has a very talented female chef, that comes up with an amazing twist to food. Fun atmosphere and staff was friendly and very professional.

I knew this place would be nice, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was really good. High level of attention to detail. Every part of each dish we had was well done. Peach burrata salad, steak, halibut, and peach shortcake, and the BREAD – all phenomenal. Ryan was very attentive, super nice, and spent time to give great suggestions. The atmosphere is cool and artistic – as you’d expect in an art museum. We parked across the street at the park for free instead of paying for the garage.

An innovative menu with well thought out flavor and texture combinations. The plating was meticulous as well.
I’m pretty hard to impress in a restaurant, but I was blown away by chef’s talent.
Additionally, our server was amazing.
I would recommend this place to anyone who appreciates haute cuisine.

I learned that the chef’s name was Stephanie, who was on break when I asked to speak with her, so I offered my compliments on her behalf to the GM instead. The entire dish (Cider-glazed burnt ends) was excellent: the meat was perfectly done, the butternut squash was delicious, and the dressing for the arugula was wonderfully subtle, but the real highlight were the caramelized onions, which were candied delights, the likes of which I had never tasted before. I don’t treat myself to fine dining often, and this departure from standard fare was truly special. Thank you and bravo.

Most museums have tasteful and fairly tasty restaurants. But having tried museum dining on four continents, this one is my favorite museum restaurant bar none. Why do we eat here so often (once a month or so)? First, the setting is spectacular. Many museum restaurants are tucked in a corner. This is not: it is in the most spectacular setting in the place. Second, it is a perfect atmosphere for good conversation. Finally, the food is exquisite: every bit up to the glorious setting. I usually have soup or a salad for lunch (sometimes supplemented with pastries from arguably Buffalo‘s best bakery). But the sandwiches and hot dishes are well prepared too. Beef on ‘Weck (Kimmelweck roll) is Buffalo’s second most iconic dish (after chicken wings). And while the quintessential way to experience Beef on ‘Weck is a dive bar, Cornelia’s serves one of the best Beef on ‘Wecks in Western New York. There is table service inside (which is very lively and, to be honest, I find too loud for conversation) and counter service for dining in the atrium: I find sitting in the atrium Is tonic for the soul.

Really interesting menu with interesting flavour combos, good drinks menu and coffees and nice deserts.
The roast beef on a Weck roll was outstanding not to mention generous with beef.
The side ceasar salads were really good too.
The “pork belly” on a bun was a fail. The roll, pickles and sauce were good. The too thin pork belly had been deep fried to nearly burnt and was inedible. Clearly the chef doesn’t appreciate the possibilities with pork belly.
Americano coffees were really good.
Decent, quick ordering process, and dishes are delivered to your table.
Very nice space for your meal.
I would eat here again, the roast beef sandwich was excellent. And the breaded chicken abreast sandwich at adjacent tables also looked top notch.
Skip the “pork belly”.

Was looking for a healthy-ish meal with fresh ingredients and found it here. Tasty with generous portions as you can see. The filter coffee was surprisingly excellent, perfectly brewed. Would definitely come back.

Staff were very warm and accommodating. Would highly recommend the Elote dip or lentil soup.
