Jauronimo Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Simple answer is - No. I am biased because I personally find high end steakhouses to be boring. They are all pretty much the same tired cookie cutter concept and menu. Who cares? I tend to agree but steakhouse sells. I can't even count the number of high end steakhouse concepts in Houston and there seem to be more opening regularly. There's no shortage of demand for steak.

The Big Cat Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Your description is the definition of a tapas restaurant, hence the name, Aro Topas. Jesus...may be B'Lo's not ready for two steak joints after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Kennedy's Cove on Main Street in Clarence is phenomenal. No frills atmosphere with amazing steaks. I have heard nothing but good things about Kennedy's Cove, but have never tried it. I did enjoy Danny Sheehan's Steak House in Lockport. I have only been there once, but for the price (sides and salad included) and quality, it was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I wonder if they can get a good deal on TRUMP Steaks? I do not think waffle steaks would sell in high end steakhouse but I am sure Trump would come in, want to pay less than others and then complain it was not a good buy.

Punching Bag Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Creekview isn't very good. I think that this guy recently took that over though (I could be wrong). Oliver's is one of the best few restaurants in the city. Would not expect Kirby to know this but one of the BEST Burmese restaurants outside of Burma is in Buffalo and has been internationally rated as such. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60974-d3419282-r153384552-Sun_Restaurant-Buffalo_New_York.html Sun Restaurant http://www.suncuisines.com/ 1989 Niagara St, Buffalo, NY 14207 716-447-0202 (Black Rock area, in area because there is a Buddhist temple in area) Have seen reviews in multiple magazines outside of Buffalo listing it as a place to visit in Buffalo. Saw it in magazine in Toronto. We went there after seeing review and everything was absolutely great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I sure do like steak. alot. But I grill it the best. I do not have to dress up or shower. Save money on gas ( the meat market is a block away ) fresh cut Anything i want) . Casual environment. Because i am the Host, wait staff cook and dish washer i have absorbed all that cost besides materials. sure there is some downside.. But as I hope i mentioned upstream i hope those Players can make a go of it. Buffalo culture should be pleased to have our Bills Players staking their tents in the City.

Augie Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I sure do like steak. alot. But I grill it the best. I do not have to dress up or shower. I hope you at least wear pants! I grill a lot myself, but never my steaks any more. Sear a good crust on both sides in a cast iron skillet then into the oven to finish at 450. Went to a cooking class/dinner one night where this was the plan and I never looked back. Best steaks ever and you get a good crust on each side, not just grill marks. Sorry, this thread is distracting and makes me hungry..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats none of your business .... Searing steak is the key ! you are on the correct page for sure. But i like my wood chips and bit of smoke on my char. Cast iron means "blackened" to me. and smoke alarms removed !! back to the story This reminded of of my Dad when i was a Kid for some odd reason. We used to travel and eat out when i was a young kid. When they would ask " how would you like your steak " he would respond. " just walk the cow past the table " yep he liked it rare one more thing folks Dry AGED Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it in magazine in Toronto. We went there after seeing review and everything was absolutely great. Nice find. Good Burmese restaurants are a rarity in the US. I'll make sure to visit next time I'm in Buffalo. Few? There are many good restaurants...The Left Bank, Hutch's, Tempo, Tappo, Bacchus, Trattoria Aroma, Kuni's, EB Green's, Ristorante Lombardo, Osteria 166, Martin Cooks, Sinatra's....and there are many more I have heard good things about, but haven't tried yet...Such as The Lodge, Big Ditch, Sea Bar, Buffalo Proper, Rue Franklin....I'm getting hungry, must be close to lunch... Also, BOSS - Buffalo's Original Steak & Seafood, is another high-end steak house in Buffalo (hertel avenue). I have heard good things, but i have never been there.... I took my family to BOSS the last time I was in Buffalo. My 96 year old father liked it. I wasn't wowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
