- AAmyNew York City •2 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoGreat food with reasonable prices. Huge selection of beers plus some local ciders and mixed drinks. Love that they use the local wineries as well! Only downside is that it can be quite loud when crowded. Unfortunately, that’s what happens with high ceilings. Great fell menu and waitress told us they will switch it up seasonally. Highly recommend the harvest salad and add chicken! Also the hummus platter is delicious too.More info42N at The FlatsPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Buffalo•4.5

- RreneeUpstate New York •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 15, 2024Wonderful experience! My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate my new job, and we are so glad we went to Jazzboline! You have to try the Lamb Meatballs app - the cheese sauce they come with is amazing. My husband had the short ribs and I had the natural chicken breast meal - both mouthwatering. I couldn’t decide on a wine to go with my meal so I thought I’d ask for a recommendation…Jonathan, the restaurant manager, suggested Rainstorm Pinot noir, and he was spot on! Finished out the dinner with the crème brûlée - just incredible all around. Olivia our waitress was attentive, never had to wait for anything. Highly recommend to anyone who wants delicious food, fantastic service, with a great atmosphere!More infoJazzbolinePrice: Expensive• American• Buffalo•4.6
