So walking in it was very quiet and very comfortable… our waitress was returning quite quickly with our drinks and appetizers but then 3 more tables of 2 people showed up and our food came out about 1 and a half hours later and it was cooked wrong and the seasonings weren’t even on there. Their baked potatoes were very good but their steaks weren’t at all. For $300+ we were really hoping for a better meal and especially since it was my boyfriend’s birthday dinner and now updating because he has food poisoning and has been throwing up since we got home

The perfect spot for a blend of comfort and quality dining. During the week they do deals for two. We visited on a Thursday for two 20oz Blackened Prime Rib steaks, a choice of sides, soup or salad, and a bottle of wine for $85. We also enjoyed their Bacon wrapped BBQ Scallops! Many restaurants’ can not do Bacon wrapped right, but there’s is perfect! The fish tanks are a great touch and make for such a unique vibe.

Great smaller resturant. Great atmosphere and a couple.fish tanks. Wonderful drinks and the food is amazingly good. The fried ice cream is deff the way to go for desert!

Excellent service but underwhelming, overpriced food. I ordered the steak sandwich which you could hardly call a sandwich. A piece of steak on two toast points is not a sandwich, especially when it costs $30. I had to request a roll and lettuce and tomato to make it an actual meal. Moreover, the steak had no flavor whatsoever. I’ve had better steak sandwiches at The Pink (R.I.P) and Wellington Pub. The baked sweet potato was good and a very nice portion, though. Partner had the burger which was huge but again, lacked taste and seasoning.

It is a very buffalo eatery, sans the wings. Excellent food. Very high end. Very rich flavors with no corners cut. The blackened Steak is a must. The creamy stuffed pepper soup was a real surprise. Spicy, but not painful. And I encourage everyone to try the twice baked potato.

Kennedy’s Cove has one of the best filets in the Clarence Buffalo area! It’s a casual but upscale steak house. They have a huge saltwater fish tank, which was fun to gaze at while waiting for our meal. I like to arrive when they first open since they don’t take reservations. The dining room is small and quaint. The food is consistently good. I love their filet, crab legs, and twice baked potato! Portions are large. I recommend asking the market price on their specials, they are substantially higher than their regular menu items. All of their food is high quality and seasoned well. Definitely a great place for dinner any day of the week!

Thursdays they advertise a prime rib special. When you order it, they tell you it is not a slow roasted rib roast, rather it is a ribeye steak. Well why advertise it as prime rib? I feel I was tricked. Both my husband and I ordered it blackened. Flavor was ok, meat was tender. Mashed potatoes were ok. I will not return. Not worth the special price. I feel like I can cook a more flavorful strip steak or ribeye at home on the cast iron skillet.

A small restaurant and high end. Kim was our server, very good except at checkout. Took longer than wanted. We got the Wednesday special which was 2 bone in ribeye steaks with potato choice, soup or salad, piece of garlic bread and a bottle of wine. Steak was very good, potato was….well a typical potato. We also got a side of onions and mushrooms for the steak. ($7) Overall a good experience but I’m not one to spend that much on dinner. This meal for 2 was $120 plus the side. So with tip that’s $160 for two people to eat. Good place.
Update:
upon eating my leftovers a couple days later, I found my server didn’t put my potato in my take home box! Oh I was angry. It’s not her call and we paid a fortune for the food.

Great service. Underwhelming appetizers. Dry steak. Blackened seasoning wasn’t great. Tasted like it was put on the steak afterwards instead of cooked in it. Excellent peanut butter pie.

A wonderful upscale restaurant, low lights and ceiling, fieldstone walls & open beams, quaint tables with ample space, plus awesome tropical fish tanks to amuse. The staff was quick and very friendly. Our server, Rayna was an absolute charm; very well-spoken for special meal offerings and prompt service. A great location for a romantic dinner or date; even a great a location for family dinning with child’s menu. Highly recommend this restaurant for reasonable prices, as well.
We enjoyed a Tuesday Dinner for Two; selecting our entree’s of a NY Strip Steak and Twin Chicken Breasts. Both blackened with Kennedy’s delicious special seasoning and served on horizontally sliced toast. The steak was cooked perfectly to order, and the chicken was perfectly blackened crisp outside and tender juicy inside. Our sides choices of Tots for one (crisp and tender); and a Sweet Twice Baked Potato that was a smooth whipped sweet potato baked in a half skin (large portion). We also enjoyed delicious house salads.
