Great exchange here. Fire it up for some Buffalove! Would second the idea of also getting Beef on Weck. If you have time go to North Buffalo area and Allentown (lots of bars and restaurants). Bar-Bill, Anderson's (near North Buffalo), Eagle House, Creekview are all great suggestions. Cole's is a classic Buffalo pub in North Buffalo. Lloyd Taco Factory, Sportmen's Tavern (live music). Fowler's Chocolates. Cup & Char pepperoni pizza (Bar Bill has great pizza, as does Bocci, La Nova, Picasso's). Part of living in Buffalo is getting some Canada mixed in, so make sure to order Peameal Bacon for breakfast and have some Canadian beer (Labatt or Molson) with your weck, wings or pizza. Buffalo also eats the most Fish Fry (Fish and Chips) per capita in the USA. With that all said there are a lot of great fine dining restaurants in the area, both old and new. Seems like your girlfriend deserves a romantic meal.
