Restaurants near KeyBank Center

We regularly pop in for dinner and drinks before a Sabres game. Beautiful venue with nice views of the waterfront. Staff is always courteous and friendly and food has always been consistently good.

The food was absolutely amazing! The pork belly small plate was out of this world, and the crab cakes were delicious as well. The grilled pork chop and braised short rib entrees were both fantastic! The icing on the cake was the pistachio creme brûlée. Hands down the absolute best crème brûlée either of us had ever had! The cheese cake was also very good with a nice balance of orange and cranberry compote. The ambience is nice and our server was delightful.

A quiet and intimate Thursday night at Buffalo Chophouse to celebrate my anniversary was a spectacularly organised night. We were greatly satisfied with our seating, upstairs along the balcony on a semi-private platform looking down to the bar (upon request). The service was a 500/10. Staff were extremely attentive and helpful. “There’s only one chicken and salmon dish on the menu because it’s so great.” True words about both dishes, and anything else that may pertain to that statement. Our expectations were matched and even exceeded with our selection. The menu itself has a great selection, I’ve previously dined here with a large party and everyone had been very impressed with their meal, including the young ones. Great options from my experience include but are not limited to; 8oz filet mignon, seared fillet of salmon, and the lobster tails. The chef is always very accommodating if any substitutions are requested. The cocktail list has a very diverse selection, but if they aren’t to your fancy, Buffalo Chophouse also has a fully open bar.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. The band had the crowd revved up and it was amazing amazing evening of music and fun!

Our server was wonderful, food was great. Perfect atmosphere for sports fans and families alike.
