Outstanding food. Perfect portion size. Everything made with care. Romantic. Outdoor dining in the garden can't be matched. Prix fixe menu is wonderful bargain. more

One of the hidden Gems of Buffalo. Its easy to miss with Laughlins and Tudor Lounge next door. This French Cuisine restaurant performs everything to the "T" from the second you walk thru the door. Although a sports coat / suit jacket is not mandotory, I will suggest wearing one. And save room for the Creme Brule more

I am a great admirer of French food and wanted to try out the Rue. Unfortunately it never lived up to the expectations - the appetizer was really good, the food was served cold and tasteless, the dessert was atrocious and the service was off handish and boring. I'll take the 7 hour drive to Montreal anyday. more
