The Little Club 1197 Hertel Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14216

"As soon as we walked into this spot there was an aroma of something delicious and I decided I was ordering what ever itI was right then and there, lol. The waitstaff was on point and welcoming with smiles and encouraging comfort. I imagined the chef was probably in the back doing the same with the food. The tables at The Little Club are little if you're not at a booth, but also large enough that our party of four could share a few plates of appetizers and beverages with erything on one table, lol. I truly, really, honestly appreciate the small lamps on the table. We could all easily read our menus. Most places have those votive candles, which really only provide ambiance more than assistance. I think I'm gonna add a 1/4 star for any place that is considerate or logical enough to have these lamps, lol. Alright, onto the food my dude. I don't drink alcohol so it's usually difficult to find a good drink without booze. I asked for the waitress to have the bartender create something from nothing. What they came up with was refreshing, fruity, & I had two, lol. The appetizers we had were more then meets the eye. I mean, the presentation was beautiful, but they looked like "that's not gonna be enough" but, the amount of flavor and love inside each one was crazy gracious. The Potato latkes were my favorite indeed. You'll see the Sicilian Anchovies pictured, and the butter, olive oil, and Anchovies were a great choice for my palate. For the main, I had the poached Halibut and Van Damn it was soft & buttery. The charred cabbage was so good I forgot it was cabbage and the kohlrabi just balanced the every bite like salt does pepper (and vise versa). My cousin had the lamb meatball bomber and was silent for the 5 minutes it took him to scarf it down. I must let you know that it's a sandwich and not jus the meatballs. In conclusion, dinner was crazy delicious. Did I miss anything? Maybe you should visit and find out yourself. Oh yeh, the bathrooms are very well maintained and amply stocked. Loved this spot and next time I'm up Buffalo we're sliding thru again. Much respect to the team, bartender, & chef."

"This is a nice little upscale place to hang out and chat with friends more than a real restaurant. The food is really good, as one would expect from a place tied to Lombardo's (across the street), but there's more of an atmosphere of sharing plates rather than getting a meal. The atmosphere is nice, and the staff seem attentive, but not overly pushy, and overall nice and concerned with making their customers feel comfortable. While I might feel that it's a little pricey, the quality of the food is probably worth it."

"When you enter in you feel transported to a different place. When you're inside you forget that you're in Buffalo. It gives you a feeling that you are in San Diego, San Francisco or elsewhere. It gives you vibes of small hidden restaurants of metropolitan city. The food was delicious and very well present. The octopus was extremely tender and presented in an innovative way. The wine selection was extensive. We were very happy with our selection. The costalis where handcraftet with delicasy and very well preseted. The Bartender was very neat, skiled and head great attitude and personality. She gave a good contribution to alive the place. Service was fantastic. The only reason I am giving 4 star is because there was no gluten-free option for the main course. I ended up eating only appetizers. If you have no dietary restrictions, I highly recommend it. If you have dietary restrictions, I recommend calling them in advance and ask for the menu of the day. Since it chages daily."

"My wife and I decided to have a very small wedding ceremony followed by dinner with our families at The Little Club. The Little Club's event coordinator, Sarah, went above and beyond and was a breeze to work with. She gave multiple options to fit every budget, was very detail oriented and worked with us and Chef Gus and Chef Joe to customize an absolutely amazing 3 course feast. Seriously, it was one of the best meals of our lives. Sarah and the entire staff were very attentive and accommodating to each guests needs. There was nothing more we could have asked for. For anyone looking for an intimate gathering for any occasion, we would highly recommend considering The Little Club. photo cred: First Look Photography"

"We got the squash blossoms, Atlantic cod, strawberry caramel carrots, and a tuna special. Incredible food, wine, and service. Love this place for a special occasion!"
