ok, well, I’m sick of all the “normal” places to go eat, I’m looking for something with good reviews probably in the Allentown/Elmwood areas; something like East Ave in Rochester places. Let me know where you’ve been, what you recommend, and what type of food they have. ---

+1 for Gabriels Gate Its like fridays applebees type food, but not as processed and way better tasting the atmosphere is great, and the prices are reasonable ---

theres wide variety of stuff in this area. You talking lunch or dinner? have an idea of price? -1 for the gate, good burgers but thats about it. Bland chicken, no free refills and a small menu… Sorry guys im just picky. ---

cheaper: gabriels gate, colter bay, fat bobs, globe market, bettys, jimmy macs, empire (hertel), kuni’s takeout not so cheap: mode, toro, brodo, tempo, hutchs, cecilias the gate used to be really good, under the new owners its not as good as it used to be, but its still a good place for cheap. ---

[/quote] Suggestion for Toro, Tapas style is fun and I really have to say “Shango” again, I really think its the best restaurant in buffalo. I’ve been there a few times and i’m always left speechless. probably 35 bucks a person though so it really depends on your budget/occasion for going. If its just you going out to get some food… Shango isn’t suggested ---

let’s say $50-$75 for 2; maybe $75-$100 with a bottle of wine. ---

I think everyone should try Frog Hair, because apparently Itagaki, 2turboZ and myself along with very few others actually know theres awesome food inside, and its decently priced … oh wait Bladez couldnt finish his dinner there … what a baby ---

Prime, 490 Rhode Island off of Lexington Best retaurant I’ve been to, yet very pricey. Extremely upscale, very proper. Candle lit dinner for two and a bottle of wine ran me about $200, plus a $40 tip I left ($240 total).
