Came here on Saturday night for a date night. Let me tell you, from start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious (you can tell they use high quality ingredients), the service was attentive, and the hospitality especially from their manager William was truly top-notch. We felt like a VIP! The ambiance is warm, intimate, and full of character, making it one of those rare restaurants that instantly feels special. The standout of the night was their table side service Prime Ribeye Chop for Two, it was high quality, cooked to absolute perfection, and easily the best steaks I’ve ever had. The Cheddar Burrata Mash Potatoes was nothing I’ve ever had. I 100% recommend!! And to finish off the evening, we had The Baked Alaska, absolutely mind blowing! We were full at the time but it was so good we ended up finishing the enter dessert.
This is definitely a place I’ll be returning to regularly, whether it’s to host a dinner, celebrate with friends, or enjoy a perfect date night. We’ll be back soon!!

Amazing spot! Cocktails are super fun and creative. Service is spot on (+tableside service.) The courtyard is beautiful and the interior is a welcomed reminder of a traditional east coast steakhouse meets Hollywood hangout. And for the most important part of the review… The food was outstanding… I loved everything we ordered! Starters: the Zucchini Blossoms, Tuna Tartare, Oyster Shootout. Main: Boeuf Bourguignon. I also got the Buffalo Bars for dessert. Sorry no photo… it looked too good to wait! Everything was perfect, can’t wait to come back!

I’ve loved going to The Buffalo Club for years. It never disappoints. From the phenomenal service to the astounding food, this latest visit did not disappoint. The Beef Bourguignon was to die for. This latest experience was no exception, the zucchini blossom starters are delicious. Thanks for a great experience, as always!
The Buffalo Club outdoor patio late evenings has a DJ, more of a club atmosphere, also fun. So grab a meal first then head to the patio!

Came here on a Friday night for a girls dinner with some friends. Food was excellent!! Loved everything we got. Drinks were also very good – I recommend the espresso martini but the wine I ordered was also fantastic. Service was not slow but definitely drawn out so I’d plan on taking your time which we were happy to do! Our server was wonderful. Overall great experience and would come back again.

Super fancy place with very comfortable old school environment. Always playing period good music and old frames decoration, at the bar you have a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, whiskey, prosecco and wines. The bartender Christian is the best, always making and serving the drinks with a big smile on his face. Wonderful waiters and manager service all the time ready for your requests and recommendations. The food was amazing experience that I’ll never forget but I forgot to take the pics because I was hungry and didn’t wait to eat.

A delicious dinner. Opened in 1994 by the writer, producer, and creator of Miami Vice, the TV show, it has really turned into a neighborhood gem. Originally a dive bar it’s in a more industrial part of Santa Monica, but that just means that parking here is really easy compared to over on Ocean Boulevard. I was able to find a free space right out front. They kept the theme of an East Coast style speakeasy and currently there are only 11 tables inside. Tons of nautical and landscape paintings strewn all over the walls with dim lighting and a full bar, it’s the sort of place you will want to stay awhile. There was only 1 waiter working tonight, but he was working really hard and did a great job. Hopefully next time they have 2 working to expedite wait times.
Tonight we ordered the Softshell Crab and Tuna Tartare appetizers to start and we loved both of them. I usually prefer pan friend softshells and these were fried, but were still very good. For our entrees we chose the Barramundi and the Chicken Pot Pie. All the tables around us were ordering the Beef Bourguignon, which I should have ordered, but both of our entrees were very tasty as well. The fish was cooked perfectly complete with crispy skin and the pot pie was deconstructed with Jidori chicken and a delicious sauce on the bottom.
Overall a great meal and I would easily recommend it to anyone for any occasion. I already plan to come back in the near future to try different dishes.

Food: Delicious. However, the entrée portions are not all equal. The Impossible Moussaka would more accurately have been listed as an appetizer compared to the other entrées. Try the squash blossoms. Ambience: flowering, vined courtyard lit by sunlight and string lights at sunset. Great place to take your parents, have a romantic date, or celebrate a special occasion. Service: Goldilocks. Not too much attention, not too little.

I loved Beef bourguignon!
It is pretty heavy and I liked it. Balancing with the pasta under it.
Open air, great welcoming.
