yeah you should definitely try a local non-chain restaurant. buffalo is loaded with awesome places to eat, and this isn’t a knock to any of the chains around here, but the local places are often several times better than the chains. plus you’re supporting the local economy. ---

La Bella Sicilia is probably one of my favorite Italian restaurants around here ---

La Rue (franklin) is probably one of the “fancier” restaurants around. But the Chop House, Fiamma’s, etc are staples around here.

That place straight up has their shit together. Best run/best quality/best atmosphere of any chain restaurant in the world IMO, and I’ve got some pretty decent restaurant credentials. La Tolteca has great food… go there often Tomata Pie also has a great pizza. I usually get their antonio pizza, its great ---

melting pot is shit. Boil your broth and cut up raw meat at home. Russells is amazing. They are a la carte but they also have a dinner for 2 menu which is 75 bucks. I keep hearing PF Changs is great but havent been there as of yet ---

[http://www.curlysgrill.com/](http://www.curlysgrill.com/) Really good food, with a carribbean flare. $25/entree type of place. [http://schimschacks.com/](http://schimschacks.com/) Awesome food, call ahead to book a table with a view over the escarpment. > **[Skylon Tower a Niagara Falls Canada Restaurant & Attraction Experience](http://www.skylon.com/)** > > Skylon Tower is a Niagara Falls attraction and restaurant offering visitors to Niagara Falls dining, shopping, and entertainment with an extraordinary view. Good food, can’t beat a rotating view of the greater niagara region. A thunderstorm rolled in when I was there. All the birds spiraled down in flocks to land, the cold front cut all of the steam out of the gorge, it was fucking magical. [http://www.carmelos-restaurant.com/](http://www.carmelos-restaurant.com/) Another good one. Steak houses are overrated. You can get a good steak anywhere. Hell do it at home. Decent cut + cast iron skillet + butter + salt + garlic + high heat + flip every 15 seconds = better than 90% of the steakhouses in Buffalo. If you’re spending dough on a good meal out find a place with shit you can’t do yourself. ---

hyde park is really good. i prefer bacchus though on franklin & chip. I have heard very very very good things about tempo on delaware and left bank off of elmwood. with all the good local places in buffalo, there is almost no reason to go to a chain place. ---

i liked Oliver’s on Delaware back in college… i wonder if it’s still good or not… they had a decent wine list oh… and Dakota Grill by the AMC on Sweet Home ( i dunno if it’s still there or not… )… drove by and saw the place every day for years, but it took my last year to realize it was a very nice restaurant… couldn’t believe it was there the whole time ---
