I mean, c'mon. The Place is a landmark and the truffle chips are killer. Get a Tom and Jerry (hot cocktail) and have a ball!

I do NOT recommend dining at this restaurant. I was in a group of 6 and the waitress skipped right over me. It was blatantly obvious. Let's just say that both the bartender and waitress made me feel VERY uncomfortable from the moment I walked in. I was not expecting this due to the fact that it is located in Elmwood village which is very diverse.

Had a nice dinner, wait service was on point. Atmosphere was nice. Only disappointment was the beer selection, seemed a bit 1980's, ew. Where are all the excellent local microbrews available with bar food?

So I ordered the fish fry to go yesterday, and was disappointed! My fish was a bit dry and rubbery, so not too fresh. The sides were fine, but the star of a fish fry is the fish! Needless to say, at $20, I will not be going back for seconds!

A local watering hole with some pretty good pub grub for lunch and pretty good diner menu as well. Their mac n cheese is awesome as meal by itself or an appetizer to share. Dining or drinks on the front porch during the warmer months is a nice option.

There’s no need to debate “before/after”. Let’s just acknowledge that the current establishment is doing a wonderful job in respecting the history of the restaurant and are acting as responsible stewards as they take their turn in the evolution of The Place. - The Story Garage

I've been here twice now and haven't been disappointed with the food at all. There is a small hassle of parking on Elmwood, but if you go at the right time it's really not that bad. It's also usually full - it's a small restaurant and not room for many tables- so expect a wait. This second time we were able to get a table outside, which is always worth waiting for.

What did they do to the spinach in the calamari dish to make it taste so perfect? Tom & Jerry, scallops, carrot cake were so good!

I have watched this establishment rise to its current level over the past 2 years, and must say that I am incredibly impressed. It has that neighborhood bar feel, but much more upscale than normal. You can come in a t shirt and jeans for a happy hour beer, we'll dressed on a date, and still be treated with the same level of respect warmth.Jay has done an absolutely wonderful job here, and this is a location worth a stop from everyone. Keep up the great work!

Tom and Jerry - HARD PASS. Tom and no thank you. If I wanted to spend 11 dollars for warm water, I would just have went to my kitchen sink. Happy holidays.

The service was good, that's about it. Ceasar salad for $9 was lettuce, sprinkled parmesan cheese and a few croutons. The salad dressing was sparce and didn't have any flavor. The tuna melt was delicious. It came with a side salad that was very bland. We also ordered chicken noodle soup which was just ok and broccoli cheddar which also lacked flavor.

Warm, comfortable. It was a bitterly cold night and we had walked from our house at five points to have dinner at Kunis, a fantastic sushi place across the street. We decided to have a drink at The Place. It's been a restaurant there from the 1870's. It was packed so we stood at the bar and had hot buttered rum. It was perfect. Then Kunis called and we booked and got sushi.

Absolutely love The Place. The place is my happy place! It’s a cozy atmosphere with great food and classic cocktails. The stuffed banana peppers are to die for and an a must to order item on the menu. If you’re new to the area or you’re just visiting, this is The Place to be.

The place is a buffalo gem. Pretty much every time someone visits me from out of town I take them to the place. The food is consistently good, the prices are on the higher end but still reasonable, and the atmosphere is consistently great.

I've been here a couple times now. Great drinks, great food great atmosphere. Smaller menu with changing specials. Waitresses were always sweet. We did a date night once and brought our kids the 2nd time, enjoyable both times. Patio is very nice, located on busy side street off Elmwood ave. Will return.
