We recently had dinner on a random Wednesday night and feel this is one of the best meals we have had in a long time if not ever! Between the two of us, we ordered the set menu as well as pretty much every add-on that was available. We are so glad we chose this option as we would have been disappointed if we missed out on any of the items. Because it was a slow night we had the attention of our server/bartender who made specialized drinks and entertained us the whole evening. It was my first exposure to a miso cocktail as well as duck fat cocktail and cauliflower soup. The duck and beef entrees were tender and delicious while desert was an amazing finish. Overall we had more than just a meal… it was a dining experience!!

Extremely disappointing experience, especially for the price.
You’re required to reserve with a $45 per person commitment, but at no point during the booking process is the full menu or total cost clearly laid out. Only once you’re seated do you learn that the actual cost lands somewhere between $125–$175 per person — and that’s before drinks, add-ons, tax, or tip. That’s a significant difference from what most people would reasonably expect walking in.
Premium pricing can absolutely make sense in cities like Toronto, NYC, or LA. But in Buffalo, the overall experience needs to match that level in a very clear and transparent way. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here.
The biggest issue is the lack of upfront pricing clarity. Guests should know exactly what they’re committing to before they sit down. Discovering the true cost after being seated creates an uncomfortable position and leaves a negative impression.
I also noticed that some critical reviews don’t seem to stay up for long, which makes it harder for customers to get a full picture before booking.
Overall, I left feeling frustrated and misled. For this price point, there are other restaurants that are far more transparent and deliver an experience that feels aligned with what you’re paying. I wouldn’t return.

This was one of those experiences where you walk out wondering how it added up the way it did.
The restaurant leans heavily into exclusivity and mystery, but instead of feeling special, it feels calculated. There’s a noticeable lack of clarity around what you’re committing to, and by the time everything unfolds, you realize the value simply doesn’t line up with what’s being delivered.
The food itself isn’t terrible — it’s just not remarkable. The presentation tries very hard to signal “elevated dining,” but once you get past the plating and the lengthy explanations, the flavors don’t justify the build-up. It feels like you’re paying for the performance of fine dining rather than an exceptional meal.
What makes it more frustrating is that the entire experience seems designed to create the impression of something rare and luxurious, without actually backing that up in a meaningful way. When the final bill reflects a premium experience, the food, service, and atmosphere should clearly support it. Here, that connection just isn’t there.
I left feeling like the concept is priced far above what it actually delivers. For what you receive, it’s difficult to see the value.

Came here for our anniversary dinner and it was so worth it! The service was great and the food was excellent! It’s got a great cozy and aesthetic ambiance and I’m so happy that I finally got to try here! I would definitely recommend for a special night out!
I’ve had the pleasure to eat at several Michelin starred restaurants and this definitely gives the same kind of food experience!

Overall, my group of 4 had a delightful experience. The ribeye (4th course) was by far all of our favorites-the flavor combination was ideal. The gnocchi in the soup (2nd course) was the best I’ve had-perfect consistency. Unfortunately, I found the dessert to be slightly disappointing. Also, it was rather cold for our liking, but the overall atmosphere was lovely. I would highly recommend this to adventurous eaters- what a hidden gem!

If you only care about presentation, not the portion size or the quality you might be satisfied.
The open kitchen being located right in front of the restroom was also a bit off-putting for me.

After eating a 3 star Michelin restaurant in Paris just last week, I can say this tasting was 100% better than that! The prices are reasonable for the food being served and each dish was a delight and a larger serving than I’d expect for a tasting. We went on Wednesday when they were doing a vinyl night and also offered an à la carte menu which was perfect for me as I don’t eat meat so I could choose the meatless options, only.
The owner and other server were very friendly and hospitable and the chefs in the back obviously know what they’re doing – every dish was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back and hope everyone tries it out!

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. Based on the pricing and the hype surrounding it, I expected a much higher level of quality and value. Unfortunately, the food and overall experience did not justify the cost in my opinion.
I would strongly encourage others to carefully review both the positive and negative feedback before deciding to dine here. After my visit, I found that many of the concerns mentioned in lower-rated reviews closely reflected my own experience.
There are many great dining options available, and for the price point, I believe there are better choices that offer stronger value and consistency.

We decided to go to this restaurant abd try their multi course experience. I have mixed feelings about the food but the service and atmosphere was pretty nice.
The courses we ordered were very decorative and beautifully presented. I personally wasn’t the biggest fan of the course selection. It’s not that the dishes tasted bad but I feel like my taste palette doesn’t match up with what they’re going for. My partner with me highly agrees with me and enjoyed every course.
The service was excellent. The person tending to our table was very attentive and came by often. The courses came out pretty quick as well.
The atmosphere was nice and warm. It is a tiny restaurant but there weren’t many people to feel cramped. The bathroom is a single person room that’s very clean.
In my opinion, I wouldn’t go back due to the price as well as the course items but I encourage anyone who’s interested in this type of dining experience to try it out if you have the funds or think you’ll like what’s being served.

If you’re thinking about trying this restaurant in Buffalo, here’s the honest truth: save your money.
They advertise a $45 per person reservation, which already feels steep, but what they don’t make clear upfront is that there’s a $125 per person at minimum once you sit down. By the time you realize what the actual commitment is, you’re already seated and essentially locked in. That kind of pricing structure should be crystal clear before anyone walks through the door.
And the worst part? The food absolutely does not justify it. The portions are small, the flavors are mediocre at best, and there’s nothing about the experience that warrants that kind of bill. You walk in thinking you’re paying for something special, and you walk out feeling like you’ve been taken advantage of.
Charging premium prices is one thing — plenty of great restaurants do that — but you have to deliver premium quality and be upfront about what people are signing up for. This place does neither. There are far better spots in Buffalo that will give you great food, generous portions, and transparent pricing without making you feel robbed.
Do yourself a favor and spend your $125 somewhere that actually earns it.
