SZND

What an amazing surprise I had with this place. I was in buffalo for 24 hours and I went for dinner here. The artichoke is one of the most delicious things I ate this year, I absolutely loved it. I really would serve that everywhere. The wait for the main dishes was a little bit long but probably because of the pork chop. I think they have some things to improve but in overall this plates tasted like home, you could feel they were made with love. In that kitchen they have a team with a lot of potential of becoming a premium restaurant. They have to improve a little the service and some decoration, but food-wise one of the meals I enjoyed the most this year. Congrats to them.

Came here for an anniversary. Wanted to try something new and nice, and it was interesting. The place is super small, nice little bar. Seating is tight, you’re almost should to shoulder with the people next to you. It’s got a nice little home vibe if you like that. We ordered a small plates, entrees, and dessert. I got the Bison Rib small plate, the ribs had very little meat on them and the sauce was super light, but wasn’t horrible. My girl got the Tuna Ceviche, and that was honestly pretty good! For main entrees we both got the Braised Short rib ragu, and yikes. Literally almost no flavor, no color, and the plate just looked ugly and half empty. Would not recommend it at all. We got fondue at the end, and that was solid for sure. The service though was great, everyone there was really nice and attentive. It just might not have been our cup of tea.

SZND is a unique upscale restaurant in the city of Buffalo! I love dining in their sophisticated intimate setting. Everything about this restaurant is fantastic! They provide excellent service. Their food is seasoned to perfection! I highly recommend the blackened artichokes for an appetizer. The fettuccine & scallops and halibut are two dishes not to be missed! I've dined here on several occasions. It's been consistently wonderful every time! Their address is on Hertel but the entrance is around the corner. The sign is easy to miss. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is a parking lot across the street I usually have luck finding a space there. It's definitely worth making a trip out here!
