"We drove two hours for my husband's birthday brunch on Sunday. We had hoped to sit outdoors and watch the freighters go by. The outdoor patio was closed and that was sad since it was such a lovely day. This was not mentioned on their website. Our server, Tony was personable and perfect. He was the best thing about our dining experience. We won't be going back since the food was just fair and a disappointment. There were several choices but the fish was mushy, the beef and peppers were chewy, the eggs Benedict were overcooked, the bacon was too salty. The desserts were substandard. The peach cobbler was made with canned peaches, the eclairs and strudel were still frozen. My husband did like the waffles, roast beef, ham and breakfast sausages. Others had told us the food wasn't that great but we wanted to dine outdoors so we took a chance. We should have listened to our friends and family."

A splendid evening. The wait staff were phenomenal! Best traditional Italian food in buffalo done right!
Nikolai
Service was slow. Waitress got order wrong, resulting in one entree being served 10 minutes after the others. Great location.
Eileen

Came here for our anniversary after a quick Google search of "romantic Buffalo restaurants." Google did me right! This place is fancy, but not pretentious.

I went there for my wife's birthday. The ambience was really nice and staff very friendly. They were also very kind to put a candle in the cake and surprise my wife but would only give 4/5 for food.
Tim
Definitely a place to go to impress whoever you're taking to dinner. Delicious food, amazing cocktails and a very sophisticated environment. Think Salvatore's but less tacky and no murals of the owner. View menu

There are so many great restaurants in Buffalo but the hospitality of Lombardo just goes above and beyond anything else. The wine, food and dessert (Frou Frou cake! are wonderful, the new heated patio is beautiful and every single staff member you encounter is such a pro that you are left with nothing else to do but ENJOY. Thank you for making our anniversary celebration so special! We will be back.

I was so pleasantly surprised by River Crab. It was difficult to find fine dining in the area so I was skeptical. The food was completely on point (the burrata was beautiful, the steaks perfectly cooked and the shrimp cocktail was perfect). The service was amazing. Friendly, well timed and attentive without being cloying. The view was pretty and it's entertaining watching the variety of boats go by. I highly recommend it and I've eaten in some of the finest restaurants in the world. I definitely want to return.
