The Left Bank

While its pricey, its worth it. Service was so-so but honestly some of the best food my boyfriend and I have ever had out and we are definitely looking forward to going back and trying more of the items on the menu!!!!

As other reviewers note, the food at the Left Bank is always excellent and creative. I can't think of a food experience here that was anyth...

I would not recomment Left Bank. We were a few minutes early for our reservation but didn't get seated for like 20 minutes. The place was very loud. The service was slow and they nickel and dimed me for everything. My husband and I got 2 sodas each at 2.50/each. For $20 plus per meal I think we should have at least gotten free refills. I can go to my local McDonald and get free refills all day long. I will not be stepping foot back into Left Bank.

Even as a current Los Angeles resident, this is hands-down my favorite restaurant...anywhere! I'm a Buffalo native, and am sure to make my reservations for dinner at Left Bank before each and every visit home. The food is incredible (my favorite is the Panko-breaded chicken), the atmosphere comfortably hip, and the service is outstanding. Whether you're looking for someplace new and interesting, or are from out-of-town and want the best Buffalo has to offer, Left Bank will not disappoint!

Their is not an item on this menu that isnt prepared perfectly, presented with utmost care, and delivered professionally and steaming hot. The prices are so reasonable for the quality of ingredients used. I have literally wanted to throw my arms around the chef the meals are THAT good..Just an amazing dining experience..

I went to Left Bank for the first time this past winter. The service was great and the food was exceptional. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great date night spot or a place to get together with friends. You'll love it!

Truly an amazing "little" restaurant. The decor is so comforting. Kate our waitress for the 2nd time, as always is awesome. She has a great personality and makes you feel right at home.

i have only been there for dinner (maybe 4 times?) but hope to return for brunch. the restaurant is nicely decorated and cozy and have not had a bad food experience. the picky side of me wishes they would switch up their menu more, but i will definitely continue to be a repeat customer.

This is a great place for Sunday brunch with live music, an excellent menu and good service. Reservations are a must. The food is excellent....

The food is excellent, the service is excellent, and the wine list is fantastic. If someone can find a better restaurant in the city of Buffalo...Please let me know.

The Buffalo Gourmet and Mrs. Gourmet have eaten at the Left Bank perhaps a half dozen times this summer. This is absolutely superb food and service, no exceptions!! Invariably, the food is fresh, large satisfying portions, excellent presentation, very reasonable prices, fast friendly service, easy convenient parking, and easy access. The food in this restaurant is as good as any I have ever eaten anywhere in the world at any price. And they serve my favorite Irish Stout! One of the few restaurants I can say I can order absolutely anything / everything on the menu, (eyes closed even!) and it will be delicious! Excellent, excellent, excellent, and I am fussy! Now, the downsides. The chairs in this restaurant are horrible. They are short, flat, hard, creaky and crippling. These chairs are so bad, they may have been previously used as an interrogation tool :( Ouch!! Also, although the temperature is pleasant and the restaurant nicely clean, the atmosphere is somewhat lacking. All hard sur... Read more

The atmosphere is trendy but cozy. Although as the night goes on it gets a bit louder, the patrons seem oblivious to anything outside their table. The service is always equisite as I have been here several times. The homemade ravioli never disappoints and the pork tenderloin is always done to perfection. Love it.

The Left Bank has been my choice for several special occassions in the past few years. The atmoshere is cozy and quaint, yet fun. The food has been some of the best I have eaten in the Buffalo area...extremely flavorful with a wide selection to choose from. The waitstaff is friendly, and the service was prompt and unobtrusive. I would suggest reservations, especially on a weekend. I have recommended The Left Bank to many friends and coworkers as a perfect place to celebrate or just enjoy an upscale meal.

In Short All warm rosy brick and white linen, the building's best nineteenth-century features are emphasized. The outdoor patio opens onto the mild summer air and velvet night skies. The grilled asparagus wrapped in Parma prosciutto with avocado aioli is a winner, as are the seared sea scallops with carrot-cucumber slaw topped with crab scampi. The blackened talapia, layered with bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts and miso sauce, is Asian-fusion perfection.

My girlfriend and I went for our anniversary. Our waitress seemed a bit pretentious, and the bus boy was at our table more than she was (remove empty plates, refill drinks, get more bread, box leftovers). The food is amazing. I had the pork tenderloin in cranberry sauce and I'll be talking about it for years. Even though I was completely stuffed we still split a tiramisu which had fresh creme, strawberries, and raspberries on the side. Its a bit on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. Also we went on a Tuesday and it was still packed and quite loud in the dining area. Yes the parking lot is small, but so is the restaurant.

this is a reliable restaurant that never disappoints - the food is very good, the wine excellent, and the atmosphere great - you will need a reservation as they tend to get very busy and consistently stay that way - tucked away off Richmond Ave makes it a little hard to find if you do not know Buffalo, but use mapquest. I guarantee the trip will be worth it

Left Bank is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo, whether I am out with friends, having a romantic date with my boyfriend or just want a couple of drinks.

The Left Bank is a cozy little restaurant almost hidden in the city of Buffalo. Once you find it, though, you'll keep coming back! The food is excellent, the service is attentive - what more can you ask for?

HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD MEAL OR EXPERIENCE HERE......SERVICE ALWAYS EXCELLENT.......BUT BE SURE TO MAKE A RESERVATION!!

Left bank has a wonderful, imaginative menu for when you're tired of the same old restaurant food.
