"At Las Puertas in Buffalo I noted the venue’s transition from a high‑end tasting format to more approachable a la carte offerings when it moved outdoors, the updated menu drawing on larger Filipino, Italian, Asian, and Middle Eastern influences; the owner acquired a nearby lot to launch the al fresco service and divided the space into zones (stools for solo diners, bean bag chairs for lounging, and tables spaced six feet apart)." - Ryan Sutton
