Delightful selection of cured meats, aged cheeses, pickled vegetables, dried fruits, artisan breads and crackers along a selection of fresh seasonal fruit. 750ml of our house Prosecco, a sparkling wine from Veneto, Italy with boisterous fruit and flower aromas.
What an absolutely beautiful hotel. It is in the perfect location in downtown Buffalo. The hotel itself has so many amenities: the spa, the restaurant, the bars, the hot spring and valet. The food was esquisite. And I had the best massage I've had in years there. The staff was so friendly and accommodating.

My wife and I had our wedding dinner at Chez Ami, and the experience was simply magical!
Right from our first contact with the restaurant and the Curtiss Hotel, the staff was so helpful and professional.
I know that dinner for 26 people is a challenge for any restaurant, but Chez Ami made it look easy. Everyone was served within minutes of each other and the food was just amazing. The chef is a magician! Everyone was raving about the food!
Every member of the restaurant and hotel staff we met could teach customer service.
The restaurant manager was very attentive and helpful, and our main waiter

We had a celebration brunch buffet today and it was good. Some of food wasn't even warmed up. We did receive a free drink with our food. We had asked for water several times and finally we had to go up and get it ourselves. When we went up again have the food was gone, they didn't even put more food out.
I don't think I will go again.

Just came back from saying my prayers that I didnt get food poisoning from the Friendsgiving brunch just served at the Vue. Reservations were made and all was pre-paid (that should be your first hint) and hostess seats us at a table of 4, and then when confronted was so confused as to what to do about the extra person. Geez.
This buffet (that had a line about 40 people deep for an hour) had stainless steel serving trays with little butter warmers trying to warm up massive amounts of foods. All the food was semi warm to freezing cold including the chicken. The turkey slices and stuffing HAD

I came here on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy. Finding a spot outside where the views are was a little tough. When we did find a cocktail table outside we had to shove the empty glasses and beer bottles over to make room for ourselves, so that wasn't great. But it was a lovely view and the fire pit was nice and kept us warm!
I got the Blue lagoon cocktail and it was okay. The blue color was a lil off putting but I asked for it didn't I? Haha.
Overall I think this is a fun place to go with a group but not really a date night spot. Low key nightclub vibes.

I need to give this place 3 stars. Not because of my experience from last night because it was great - great bartenders, great drinks, and great views.
The 3 stars comes from us being denied entrance last year. Friends of mine had called and confirmed THREE times that they could have their wedding afterparty here. Once the day came and we were all waiting downstairs to get up the elevators, they said they couldn't accommodate us (about 20 people).
I'd like to go back because the views were great, but take precaution if you want to host big groups up there.

Probably the best restaurant I went to during my week long Buffalo trip. This really hit the mark - sophisticated décor and menu, engaging, kind staff who were keen to make recommendations if wanted, a rotating bar a la the Carousel Bar in New Orleans... My meal was quite delicious and I thought the plating looked lovely. Only downside was my martini was definitely not the best I've ever had. My only complaint! This is a great option when downtown and looking for an elegant option.

What a disappointment this place was. I enjoyed the view of the city and the atmosphere of the place but had terrible experience with the food. The drinks were really good and the staff was nice, But when I got my pizza my waitress said if it's too dark then let me know and I can get another one. I got a pizza that was burnt and I don't know why she would even try to serve it to me. I was with 3 other people and two of them got their food way before me and my other friend. From the looks of their tacos they were very dry and they had to ask for a salsa and guacamole after they brought

My wife and I went out for dinner and loved it! The atmosphere was great and so was our waiter! He did a great job of taking care of us. We never felt rushed. Ever course was paced out perfectly. Don't listen to the complaints about a small menu, that's fine dining!
Appetizer: who would ever think a vegetable like carrots would make a good appetizer? They were so good! And the bread is made there every day and they even have their own sweet butter that goes with it!
Main Dish: My wife's scallops were very good with apples, celery and chorizo. My ribeye was very good with a tasty steak sauce and

Vue is a great spot to come with a few friends for a drink and a beautiful view of the city! The rooftop is a good size, and I love the fire pit on cooler nights. The drinks are delicious, especially the Goose in the Garden. I've only had a few snacks while I've been here and they're good, but a bit overpriced. Lately service has been a little slow (due to the pandemic) but I still enjoy coming here. Complimentary valet parking is a huge plus, too!

I think this is a fun spot once in a while, especially because of the rooftop fire pit and valet. The three is for the overpriced and under par drinks...
Please double strain your martinis. Ask if someone wants it shaken or stirred, it's the little things. The downstairs bar use to always make way better cocktails than the rooftop bar [and I think there's a few reasons] but that wasn't the case last night?
Not related to the lounge, but I've never been a fan of the food here. A for the actual hotel: four stars.

I've been here a couple times with some friends after a nice dinner downtown. It's really nice especially during the evenings of warm summer nights! Their drinks are decently priced although they have some fun, special cocktails that cost around $15. There is plenty of seating- some is covered and there's also a heater! The vibe of this place is definitely a little classier than I am used to. I wouldn't recommend wearing jeans here.

Chez Ami is a charming, classy, yet comfortable place to dine that I would recommend to anyone. We were greeted by a warm staff and seated on the beautiful outdoor patio. There, our server was very professional, kind, warm, and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the evening. I ordered the meatball starter and as a main dish ordered the Alaskan cod, alongside some wine. Both dishes tasted phenomenal and I would recommend this place for anyone looking to have an enjoyable dinner experience.

Came here after dinner for a conversation and cocktails with friends. Upon entering we were greeted by the bartenders. The outside views are amazing at night! We found a table and the back and got ourselves situated there then went back to the bar to order our drinks. I ordered a lemon drop which is the same drink that I order downstairs at the restaurant/bar but unfortunately it tasted totally different, it wasn't good, just sour (like lemon juice sour)& didn't taste the Tito's. Needless to say I only drank half and left the rest! And the drinks are a little more expensive

Spent a couple hours here with friends after enjoying our dinner downstairs at Chez Ami. When we arrived there were plenty of tables available. Being that it was very cold and windy, no one was outside at the firepit or in the rest of the outdoor seating area.
By the time we left the place the crowd had filled in so I guess the cold didn't keep people away.
One of our friends wasn't happy with how her drink was made. I had wine so there was no problems with mine.
I think since we were talking I didnt even notice if they had any music playing. There was a tv on but the sound was

Great roof top bar, with a nice classy sophisticated look. You have the option of sitting outside by the huge fire pit, I suggest trying it during the warmer months. There is also a section, that is partially covered. If you choose to sit outside in this section, they have heaters to warm this area.

Fun space to hang out, I enjoy the fire pit and the openness of it all. But, at least when I've been there, there's no table service and you cannot order any food. So, lots of teetering over to your table with martinis you're trying not to spill. I just prefer not to interrupt my socializing to go and stand at a busy bar for 10 minutes. Very laid back area but with good people watching. Highly recommending catching dinner downstairs, they have a truffle mushroom pizza to die for!

Nice view and firepit on the patio. Bartender was friendly enough and my old-fashioned was pretty good. My buddy and I sat outside warming up by the fire and whiling away the night high (well, a few floors) above Downtown Buffalo.
Don't get the condescending take-downs because it's not in NYC. I've been to plenty of rooftop bars in NY that were lame with incredibly expensive drinks and crowded rooms. It's sceney for the 25-35 professional crowd but that's to be expected.
Worth a visit.

5 stars for the view alone because who doesn't enjoy a rooftop bar? For as swanky as Vue tried to be, the experience left a lot to be desired. Not a lot of liquor options, no cocktail menu, and overpriced watered down drinks. The gentleman making my party's drinks did not know the recipe to basic drinks. He asked his sidekick and she also didn't know. I also specifically asked for a side of water and lime and he proceeded to start pouring water and lime into the mixed drinks he made. I had to stop him in his tracks. Really disappointed.
Our party ended up going to the newer rooftop
