Convenient parking. Food is OK. Fire station cross the street. People talks loudly in the hall way. --------------------------------------------

My husband & I have been trying to get to Left Bank for awhile now, so we were really excited to go for our 2nd anniversary. I was suprised at how small the restaurant was & how fast it filled up. Also, it is in a really bad neighborhood in Buffalo, so BE CAREFUL! We had early reservations (5pm) &... More

Brought many family members and my 85 year old Grandmother there for Mother's Day Brunch. They would not accommodate her needs at all saying they would only serve the menu exactly how it is! The food took an hour and a half, NO exaggeration, and no apology either. That was my last mother's day with her before she died and... More

Good choice for after music event in Buffalo. Lots of wine choices. Chorizo creole pasta dish too salty, but all other dishes our party had were delicious. Service was good but not exceptional.

I have been going to the Left Bank for years and I've never had a bad experience, the meals are always really good. The daily ravioli specials is enormous but unlike most restaurants where quantity is always at the expense of quality, this is never the case at this restaurant. The San Marzano sauce is amazing. It is hard to... More

After hearing that reservations are needed weeks in advance, we were lucky to get one for a Sunday at 8:30. Although the restaurant was crowded, we waited just 5 mins for our table. Loved the set-up with the upper level of tables so it gives the feel that you are in your own little corner. Not sure why everyone complains... More

My wife and I go to this restaurant as often as possible. We never have a bad meal. Consistency is the most important thing in restaurants and left bank is always consistent. I love their specials but I am hooked on the panko chicken and the deep fried oysters. I also always get a bowl of whatever their soup special... More

Classy restaurant with amazing food. Very accommodating with changes for dietary restrictions. Will swap out rice for pasta for gluten free eating.

I've been trying new restaurants as often as I can since I moved here a few months ago. Left bank so far is the by far the best restaurant I've been too. The food is amazing, lots of options, good wine list, great service and excellent atmosphere. I think I've found a regular dinner spot if I can get a... More

Hands down best food in town that is also priced appropriately. Make reservations because they are always booked.
