Hands down best food in town that is also priced appropriately. Make reservations because they are always booked.

Amazing food! A creative menu -- truly a farm to table experience. This is one of the best bistros in Buffalo.

I thought I was going out for an early birthday dinner with my husband at Left Bank, a favorite. But once we walked in, there were my adult children and their spouses! This birthday is one of those milestone birthdays and I insisted that they not throw a party for me. But this surprise was perfect. The food is always... More

Hidden away off the beaten path, the Left Bank is consistently one of the best restaurants in Buffalo. The food is always beautifully prepared and of the highest quality. This is always our first choice for special meal!!

Left Bank may be Buffalo's loudest restaurant, but that exuberance just adds to the party atmosphere. My party of six made numerous demands of the kitchen, which came through beautifully as always. Great pasta, fabulous apps (the salmon wrapped asparagus, stuffed portobello and artichokes were especially great) and smooth service. A delight.

My husband and I went here to celebrate my birthday. We did have reservations and were seated promptly once we arrived. I love this restaurant, but I do not think it is as romantic as some people say as it is quite noisy inside, but I love the quaint feel of the place. Our server was phenomenal; she was very... More

This restaurant has it all great food, great prices and nice atmosphere! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!The food is terrific especially the twin beef tourandos. The only trouble is that youneed to make reservations at least 2 weeks in advance, otherwise you will be eating at 10 pm or sadly not eating at all. Go to this restaurant you will love it!

As an out of towner, I like to try the restaurants I find here on Tripadvisor with great reviews. I was very excited to try Left Bank. The only reservation we could get was 5:45 (called a few days ahead). A little early for me to eat dinner, but what the heck. Upon arrival, the outside doesnt say very much... More

Book a reservation. This place serves up great food and has a warm cozy atmosphere. Two of us could not get a table on a Wednesday night? We ate at the Bar which serves up the same food as the dining room. Has a good variety of beer on tap and a great variety of menu items. We will visit... More
