Marble & Rye

I’m not sure why it has taken me so long to make my way over to Marble + Rye! They have been on my (actual) list for a while now, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. We started off with the crispy potatoes, the legendary Caesar salad, and the lovely ricotta toast. The portions were plentiful, and filling. We also got the Bolognese pizza, and the smell of the spices meat was as warm and inviting as it tasted! The crust was perfection — no notes on anything! Cocktails were also lovely, perfectly balanced flavors and ingredients all around. Ps. Get the affogato ;) Can’t wait to go back. 10/10

Hadn't been back in a few years - was a great dinner before seeing Wicked at Sheas. They had a special - peanut butter noodles - was delish! My cocktail was great too. Love a place that has a picture of the glass that the drink will be served in on the menu, so you know what to expect.

Was excited to go for dinner tonight with my husband and sister. We ended up ordering a clam pizza and cheese pizza. I felt the cheese pizza was lackluster, and bland, with not enough cheese. My husband liked them both better than me or my sister who said the doughs were too dense. The spicy cucumber salad and Caesar salad were great though.

My party and I were all so genuinely surprised and pleased with our experience at Marble and Rye last night. It was our first time and we had a good feeling about it but could never have anticipated just how much it would surpass any expectations! I actually appreciated the food menu being small, you can tell it is thoughtfully created and everything we had was so delicious and well made. The cocktail menu is where things really start to shine though. Such intentionally curated combinations that I never could have imagined that work so well together! It was so fun to try different ones and experience the way the components complimented each other so well. And the service? Attentive without being overbearing, consistently anticipating our needs before we needed to seek out anything. The ambience was beautiful and relaxing, from the colors to the lights and the music. And Meg! Such a sweet, caring, TALENTED soul! As much as I would love to gate keep this place if you have found this I urge you to go!

Food was top notch, and service was even better. We were there early on a Monday night, and the server made some great recommendations for our cocktails when we asked questions. My daughter has dietary limitations, and they were extremely accommodating with her needs as well. If you are looking for innovative entrees and favorite cocktails with a creative twist, this is the place to visit.

The food was absolutely amazing! The menu was small but offered both vegan and non vegan options. I played it simple a ordered the burger, the crispy potatoes it came with were addicting, and the burger was cooked perfectly! My husband ordered the white pizza, it was THE BEST white pizza we've had here in Buffalo! Deep dish style, thin slices tomatoes and onions, and the outer layer was nice and crispy but still light and fluffy in the middle. We can not wait to visit again and try other items on the menu!!

Great ambiance and wonderful service. It is super rare that I get any kind of vegan option at a restaurant that also serves people without dietary restrictions but Marble & Rye had multiple options for vegans. What I got was *delicious*. We sat at the bar and had a super friendly and attentive waitress even though the place was full and busy. And as a cherry on top, my cocktail - the Bonded Pair - was stellar. I'd go back there all the time if I lived in town!

Food and drinks were impeccable. Personally had the vegan style pizza and added pepperoni (dairy allergy). It was some of the best pizza I’ve had in over a decade. All the drinks were so interesting and the flavors were so complex, the bartender Meg is truly a treasure and SO talented. I usually hate alcohol/drinking in general but the flavor profiles were so interesting and complex. Didn't even have time to take pics of the meal bc I was so engrossed in how good it was. Atmosphere was casual, people were generally dressed nice but don’t have to be. Music was upbeat but not overpowering. Lighting was dimly lit but not dark. Had an amazing time! Thanks to all the staff, but real shoutouts to Meg.

for gluten free people -- this place is a must. by far the best gluten free pizza i've ever had. being gluten free for over 10 years, i cant quite remember what a regular gluten pizza tastes like, but if i would guess, this dough is almost indistinguishable from regular dough except for a slight grittiness. service was amazing, ambiance was amazing. a must go for anyone with gluten sensitivities! note: you have to call or visit a day in advance to make sure they get the gf dough in

Still obsessed with their Detroit-style pizza. This time went for the pepperoni. The BEST cup 'n char I've ever had - loved the burnt edges. And that dough is so buttery delicious. Also shared the BBQ burger special. Don't love the smash patties, I'm more of fat, juicy burger type, but the toppings were perfected. Dislikes: Likely related to me getting older, but it was really dark inside and some of my friend's even broke out their phone flashlights to read the menu - hahaha. Also the music really didn't set a good vibe - jazzy and somewhat bothersome. But who am I kidding, the pizza was still fantastic in the dark with crappy tunes playing.

We had the bolognese pizza and the fried rice - both were excellent!! The rice is spicy and crunchy! Service was great - people were nice and helpful Ambiance is fantastic Would definitely come back

Went here for a bachelorette dinner (older bride so much more tame) and loved it! The hostess made sure we had a quiet space and went out of her way to ask if there was any decor or special things they could do. The groom ordered flowers from around the corner and she even offered to pick them up for us! So kind! The wine list was great, although a bit hard to understand what the options were, some .. unique descriptions of cocktails and flavor notes but nothing disappointed. A great experience!

We had a great dinner here before a show at Sheas. We were seated promptly and both got an espresso martini cocktail. It was absolutely delicious and full of complex flavor! We split the Pickle Pizza and Caesar salad. Both were tasty and fresh. We enjoyed it and I forgot to take a picture it was so yummy! We especially liked the Detroit style pizza! Service was fast and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Great vibe and food. The menu was small but I highly recommend trying it out! We'll be back!

Sometimes in life there are Plans that don't work out the way you hope because of Unfortunate Circumstances. I was supposed to dine to dine at Chez Ami at the Curtiss Hotel, but unfortunately we had to postpone that to the following week due to Family Member being sick in my Party. So as a Backup Idea, my Brother Nathan kindly took me over to Marble & Rye for a Dinner just the two of Us. First time going back to see Michael Dimmer in almost 4 Years (not since the night the Bills broke their 17 Year Playoff Drought). This is always a good place to visit, Small Place, Casual Atmosphere, and Good Food done right. Just before we ordered Michael Dimmer came out and greeted us, I told him its always a Pleasure to see him. I said sometimes we should meet up for Food and Drink when he's not Working. Then our Server let us know about their Origami Randomizer, you do some Folding and all that and whatever number it was, that the Drink you would Get. What I got was Glass of Amaro which packed an intensely Strong mint Flavor, it almost felt like that I was drinking Cough Syrup (not one of my Favorite Drinks). My Brother had better luck and got a Modelo Beer, he was Happy. The only Appetizer on the Menu that sounded remotely interesting to me was their Pakora. Similar to Falafel packed with Indian Spices and mixed with Spinach and Onions, came with a side of Jalapeno Dipping Sauce. When they were placed right in front of me, I said to myself: These are Huge. These were almost Baseball sized fritters. I took my first bite and I bit into that crispy Surface and then tasted that Curry. Not too spicy but it packed some Heat, dip them into that Vibrant Neon green Sauce and it gives more heat with every Bite. While waiting for our Entrees I ordered a Cocktail off the Regular Drink Menu. I got a Drink with Ingredients that sounded Unusual, Tear's for Tammie Brown. Consisting of Angel's Envy Bourbon, Circus Peanut Sweat (Peanut infused Cointreau), Corn Dog Water (Water that's been Fermented with Smoked Corn, Cinnamon and Cloves) and Purple Perfume (Plum Bitters). You gotta admit that this sounds like the most Unorthodox Drink that you've ever heard. But when you taste it, it somehow Works as you Sweet and Nutty with each sip, topped with Candied Orange Peel. This is like the type of Drink you'd like to get Drunk at the Circus on, makes your Taste Buds do flips like a Trapeze Artist. For our Entree's, me and Nathan split their House Burger and their Detroit Style Clam Pizza. The Burger tasted better a 2nd time (well for me anyway), Nathan thought it was ok. Meat Blend was perfectly Seasoned on a Sweet Toasted Brioche Bun with some Sweet Onion slices for some Bite. Accompanied by some Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Housemade Pickles for some Acidic Bite. Also came with cups of Herbaceous Chimichurri and Garlic Aioli to dip in. As for the Clam Pizza, a little bit of everything I could ask for in a Seafood Pizza. Crispy Crust, Zesty Cream Sauce, good sized Chunks of chopped up Clams and some Fresh Lemon Zest to brighten it up with notes of Citrus. To finish off this Meal we split one of their Housemade Ice Creams, Vanilla sounded too Simple and I wasn't feeling Sorbet. So I got to try their Burnt Honey, 3 Scoops of Ice Cream piled into a Glass sporting a bronze like Color. By burnt it actually didn't taste Burnt like it was Bitter it was more like a Caramelized, Creme Brulee taste to it. Michael Dimmer still does Great things here, whether its Pasta, Burgers, Fish, Pizza (etc). Marble & Rye makes Great Food with Great Ingredients. !!!

Great Space Great Service Great food. An easy walk from anywhere on Main Street downtown.

I went for their burger and beer special on a Wednesday and was not disappointed! The double cheeseburger came out piping, hot and well assembled along with a side of potatoes. Also had a nice little dipping sauce which I'm not quite sure I how to describe, but it tasted really good with the potatoes and on the burger. The beer was just a draft lager, which I can't recall now and I also got one of their happy hour cocktails, the Bourbon + Tea, which was oh so smooth. I had been to Marble and Rye in the past and it definitely looks like its had a bit of a makeover since. There's a cool arcade console in the back part of the restaurant that has a lot of classic games on it which is a fun with a buddy or two.

Fantastic food, cocktails, and service. Don't skip the pizza. Delicious! Espresso cocktail hit the spot

Amazing vibes and even better pizza. Marble + Rye has been on my list of places to try for far too long, and while I've been for drinks before, I never got a chance to try their dinner menu until last night. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It's on the smaller side but we didn't have a wait when we stopped in (6 PM on a Saturday). As of right now, they're first come, first served. In the past I've had their margarita, and I have to say, it's one of the best I've ever had! Their cocktail menu is pretty extensive and their bartenders are super talented, so everything looks amazing. Last night, we started with the crispy potatoes and Caesar salad. Both were delicious, and the chimichurri sauce that came with the potatoes was excellent. I opted for the Detroit-style cheese pizza, while my boyfriend went for the clam pizza. Both were so tasty and the perfect balance of sauce to cheese to toppings. The crust was ever-so crisp, and I have to say, they've really solidified my love for Detroit-style pizza. If you haven't yet been to Marble + Rye, you must find the time to stop in. Truly spectacular across the board and I can't wait to come back!

Marble + Rye is a trendy Downtown cocktail and fusion grub place that on the whole delivers the goods. M+R has a tasty cocktail menu that doesn't always match the paper version at the table, which is a minor quibble I suppose. Selection is seasonal and always rotating, with really nice concoctions checking in at about $12, which seems about right for the area and to pay for the upscale-ish décor. In terms of food, M+R is a bit like like New American meets Indian meets Thai? Pizza ordered to our table looked good, and some vegan option exists for the dairy-averse contingent of your party. Apparently one can still order ice cream or other desserts late night after the main menu has shut down. And why not? (The olive oil cake is seriously good, by the way.) There's also a cool multi-selection arcade game, if vintage arcade is your bag of nerd. Service was friendly and informed on our single visit. I'll be back to check out more of the menu and cocktails as they change over time. Seems like a keeper.

i just ordered drinks here so can't speak to the food. the drinks are extremely pricey for buffalo and they were okay...probably not worth what we paid for. the service was just okay as well. possibly because we didn't want food. not super packed on a friday night!

A place that just does food right! Everything we had on the menu was delicious. Fresh ingredients and all delicately crafted. The pizzas are crispy and tasty. The burger melts in your mouth. The jalapeños sauce has a perfect kick. Even the manhattans were well made. Casual atmosphere with a little high-class edge. Looking forward to our next visit.

A buffalo gem. Food was incredible and the service and atmosphere matched. My wife and I split the pizza and a double smash burger along with a few drinks. Everything was beyond expectations. The quality of everything was fantastic. Will be back again.

First time there for a Drag brunch and I absolutely loved it. Drinks were good, food was great and show was even better. I hope they do it again. My fiancé had the biscuits and gravy that was to die for too.

Stopped by for drinks and snacks. Drinks are first rate. Bartenders excellent. Made a "small world" connection with one of the bartenders that added to the intimacy of the experience. Great vibe! We always leave feeling better about life when we come to M&R!

I always enjoy myself when headed to Marble & Rye for a drink or dinner with friends. It's a nice atmosphere and vibe, and the cocktail list is fabulous. This is probably my fave thing about this place - it's very consistent. You know you will enjoy yourself when you go. At my last visit we sat in one of the window seat (dream come true) and I got the Lil Dynamite, which is like their signature version of a margarita. It was suuuper delicious and went down easy. I also ordered the double cheeseburger which was smash burger style came with these deliciously crispy, salty potatoes. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Service was also very nice and attentive as always. We stuck around for a while and the server was changing shifts but he was not rude or pushy when asking us to sign our checks so he could be on his way. As a former server, I know how that is, so I totally respect that he didn't want to wait for us to close the place down with our long awaited catch up! I def don't want to be that person! We moved to the bar and it was great. Pro-tip: They also are a fab spot if you are looking for nonalcoholic beverages - all their signature cocktails that can be made n/a have a little * next to them.

The vegan Detroit style pizza is excellent and a welcome addition to the menu. It was on the specials list but they've had it for two months now and it seems to be sticking around. A friend ordered the crispy potatoes for us to share and they were quite good - very crispy with lots of color. The creme fresh comes on the side, as does the chimichurri, so I was able to enjoy these dairy free. Cocktails were nice. I got the little dynamite. Didn't taste much peppercorn but I like mango.

The drinks were so good he couldn't wait for me to take the photo! Started with the Pool Boy cocktail (which was phenomenal), the Cesar salad was perfect and I was wishing I had a second stomach after the first piece of the bolognese pizza. Great service, super cute place, and the patio was open since it was such a beautiful day.

Visit last night for the first time - food, cocktails and service were all excellent, will definitely be back.

Excellent drinks, food and service. Detroit style cheese and pepperoni pizza was delicious as was the smash burger. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be coming back. Excellent majestic plural (Cosmo). Street parking.

Went in with a big expectation and I was a little disappointed. The food was ok, def not bad. The pizzas were actually some of the best I've had but everything else was ok and needed more flavor. The olive oil cake was INCREDIBLE! 10/10 recommend. The drinks were disappointing. They lacked body. The ambiance was really nice and it was fun and clean. The service was great!

Enjoyed our meal and where we sat, right in the window. Was able to get great parking right in front of the place. Great service, really great cocktails. The menu is very limited right now due to covid-19, which I was kind of disappointed, but I knew the food would be good. We enjoy the cucumber salad, though it was kind of hard to eat with long shaved cabbage or whatever that was. Split the double cheeseburger, which was really good, and the potatoes it was served with were amazing!!! Loved the dipping sauces as well, I believe it was chimchurra and creme fresh. My favorite was the You Sunk My Battleship cocktail! The banana desserty cocktail was also great! Great atmosphere, great night out, can't wait till they have their full menu!

They had me at cup and char pepperoni but the crust. The crust on the pizza will haunt your dreams. We had the potatoes and spicy cucumber salad for apps. Both absolutely delicious. I had the pepperoni pizza, if it wasn't already apparent. One friend had the cheese pizza and another friend also got the pepperoni. We all agreed it's the best Detroit style pizza we've had in the area. Had the burnt honey ice cream for dessert and it was a bit unexpected at first but we really enjoyed it.

Great cocktails, welcoming staff, great vibe. Happy we stopped in during our visit to Buffalo.

I'm really saddened by my Marble + Rye experience, as it used to be my favorite restaurant in Buffalo. I'm not sure if there is a new chef or new management, but things unfortunately feel pretty down in the mouth. The menu hasn't had any updates in at least a year, and the "special" was just an item from the menu plus a beer, which is disappointing as their specials often offered a nice departure from their usual menu items. Despite being one of only a few tables, our food arrived after a relatively long wait. We both ordered the burger, which again, used to be my favorite. Not only were both our burgers overcooked, but my bun was clearly and significantly burned. I was surprised they let it out of the kitchen. Thus, both bun and burger were dry. There also seems to have been a redesign and where once low, dimly lit tables created a warm ambiance, tall white four-tops have replaced them. My drink also came in an odd teacup...it all just seemed like quite the departure from the restaurant's original charm. Finally, when we did voice our concern about the food to the waitress, nothing was done to ameliorate it other than an awkward nod on her part. I'm hopeful they can turn it around, as this has always been the best place for a good meal and a nice vibe.

20 outta 20. Everything we had from the 3 different pizzas to the bolognese to the burnt honey ice cream. All phenomenal. Go yesterday.

Went for the Thursday special and was not disappointed. The burger was exceptional and ate it in just a few bites. Detroit Style Pizza is starting to catch on in Buffalo and this version was great - heavier crust, but the char on the crust was perfect. The Sweet Corn Pappardelle starts off a little soupy, but once the ricotta melts, the sauce is fantastic. The Caesar Salad was good, but more on the Kale side. Only opportunities were to get some hand cut fries on the menu and get a little more air flow in the restaurant. Will be back

A group of us went for a pre-show dinner at Marble & Rye last week - I was excited since it was my first time back at the restaurant in over two years! Holy cow! I love the ambience. The restaurant is a large, dimly-lit room that fits just the right number of people. The tables are fairly spread out, so you won't feel like you're a sardine. They have a large bar where you can hang out and sip on a delicious cocktail instead of getting a table. I was a in a group with 8 people and they accommodated us with a nice table towards the back. I was glad we were all able to hear each other despite the place being fairly crowded by the time we left. The waiter greeted us right away and took our drink orders. They have a full bar (of course!) and they even have really interesting cocktails on the menu, including one which includes honey ice cream! I had the old fashioned, which was fantastic. We all enjoyed the drinks from the bar. The food menu is fairly limited. Most of the entrees are different types of "Detroit-style pizza". They do have 1 or 2 salad options, a double cheeseburger, and a pasta dish. Everyone at the table basically had one of these options and they were pleased. However, the cucumber salad was spicy and lacked flavor (we all tried it). Regarding the pizza, I may be a native long Islander, so I think NY style is king, however I am always open to trying different home-made pizzas, and Marble & Rue didn't disappoint! It was definitely sufficient for 1 person but could be shared between 2 people. I picked the clam pizza - it was absolutely delicious! You couldn't tell that there was clam in the pizza either - it did not smell or taste fishy. Our food was served nice and warm/hot. It took the waiter a while to get our food out, though I assumed he was trying to bring out all of the dishes at once. Marble & Rye is a great dinner spot for a group of people and also a great date night spot. Definitely an ideal place to eat if you are spending the night in the downtown area. It's about a 5-10 minute walk from Sheas, which is convenient. I will also add that the prices are reasonable :D, so give it a go!

When a friend was visiting from out of town, we stumbled upon Marble + Rye, looking for a place to eat downtown. I had never been, and it looked inviting while we walked past it. The "Rye" in the name helped. It was a Friday night, and we didn't have a reservation, but the hostess was gracious, made a joke about it, and seated us. They have an extensive list of bourbon, whiskey and rye. I got Elijah Craig on the rocks and my friend got a hard cider. The menu is mostly small plates with a few items that are entree sized. Our server was happy to tell us about the portion sizes. We ordered Mexican stewed green tomatoes, pickled onion rings with herb garlic aioli, m+r burger and the octopus. The tomatoes were my favorite. They were topped with a creamy corn salad that paired well with the tangy tomatoes. The burger was cooked to perfection, topped with raclette, shishito pepper aioli and pickled squash. The pickled onion rings were addicting! They were served with a herb aioli which complemented the pickled onions very well. My least favorite was the octopus. It was charred and served with a romesco sauce and topped with pickled jalapenos. The octopus was a little tough and the jalapenos were just too strong for me. I couldnt taste much after my first bite, and I am not one to shy away from hot food. The romesco had a nice flavor to it and the smokiness worked well with the octopus. I could tell that there was thought put behind every component on the plate. I would definitely go back to try other items from the regular menu and the daily specials.

Booked dinner at Marble + Rye for my birthday before heading to see a show at Shea's. Our table was ready at 5pm, but we decided to start off with cocktails - Rye Manhattan and a Future Sailor (Mezcal, Linie Aquavit, Foro Amaro, Lime, Red Pepper, Coconut and Tamarind Angostura) at the bar. The Manhattan was superb and so was the Future Sailor. At the recommendation of the bartender, I ordered the C Student (Rye, Cognac, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro, Sweet Vermouth and Rhubarb Bitters)... and that was excellent, too. OCTOPUS (Woodfired, Charred Onion, Pickled Jalapeno, Romesco) - The octopus was cooked just right with a char and not so much or so little that it was rubbery. The romesco sauce (roasted red pepper and nuts) was very good. My wife loved this dish and I liked it as long as there was some pickled jalapeno with each bite. REALLY SPICY CUCUMBERS (Chile Oil, Soy, Dill, Cilantro, Scallion) - Nice appetizer to go with the Octopus. CACIO E PEPE (Garlic, Reggiano, Fresh Black Pepper, Fettuccine) - For me... this was the best part of the dinner. The fettuccine was cooked perfectly and the flavors were perfect. FALAFEL BURGER (Lettuce, Onion, Pickle, Dill Tzatsiki, Sesame Bun and Fries) - My wife liked the Cacio E Pepe, but said this was her favorite because of the Dill Tzatsiki and the moistness of the falafel patty. We really enjoyed the service and our meals... and both agreed we could come back here again for either just drinks or a meal.

The best mocktails I've ever had, hands down. The bartenders are incredible, and I challenge you to ask them to make you something and watch the magic unfold. Also a huge fan of the "Odyssey & Oracle" if you're look for alcohol. They have a fantastic happy hour deal on chips which you cannot miss, for only a dollar. From the rest of the menu I've only tried the kale salad (fabulous), and a burger (reasonable). Actually, can we go back to the salad for a second. Kale ceaser salad. So simple yet so ingenious and very tasty. I'm technically gluten and dairy free (when I actually listen to my body), but this is a dish I would cheat for any day. It's a very hip vibe, and everyone is friendly, but it can get a bit noisy and crowded with the bar crowd so close to the tables for dining. Definitely recommend a stop here though for the kale ceaser salad and the Odyssey & Oracle. Not that I'm telling you what to do, except that I kinda am.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday for date night. We had a reservation, not sure if you really need one though. It's cozy and there is something about the space that feels welcoming and relaxing yet semi-fancy. The service was great. To start we got the pickled onion rings. They were absolutely amazing. A unique twist. The pickling made them sweet, but not too sweet. The dipping sauce paired perfectly. We each got the burger as well. It was ok, honestly I expected it to be amazing after reading the other Yelp reviews but I found it pretty standard. The bun fell apart and didn't seem as fresh as it could have been. The fries were good. Overall, I'll come back, definitely for the onion rings. I'd probably try something different than the burger though.

Had an amazing night out at this restaurant. Service was a bit slow but the waiter was very attentive and informed us of the slight delay in food coming out. Your water was on a continuous refill. If you left dehydrated that was solely on you. We ordered crispy potatoes which came with chimichurri sauce and creme fraiche. Very tasty chimi sauce. Also ordered detroit style pepperoni pizza. Delicious! Definitely a pizza to split...comes in 4 slices. I order voulez vous cocktail. Omg perfectly tart sooo good. Very small menu but there was definitely enough variety to bring you back.

Maybe it was just the Wednesday night menu, but I spent $75 on hors d'oeuvres and two glasses of wine. There was not much choice other than a few items.

The ambiance in this place is unparalleled. It was a bit smaller inside than I expected, and the seating arrangement isn't necessarily the most appealing, but still a great little gem in downtown Buffalo. The server was amazing - very attentive and knowledgeable. I got the falafel burger and it was amazing. Fresh and absolutely full of flavor. The drink selection is amazing also. They have everything. Nonetheless, I would 100% be visiting again very soon.

My wife and I came here for a Friday date night and boy were we impressed. We've been here a couple times before but this place kept us coming back for more. We made a reservation (a must!) and we got some stellar outdoor seating right around sunset. Our drinks were 10/10, the wild heart and the milk punch, but literally everything on the menu is amazing. We didn't get to snag a picture of the paparadelle because it looked kinda gross if I'm being honest but it's gotta be one of the top 5 pastas I've ever had. GET. IT. The cucumber salad was fresh and had some nice spice to it. You really can't go wrong with anything at marble and rye, will always return!

Pretty fun evironment. We went on Grandma Wednesday. Server was pretty attentive even with a busy crowd.

This spot left me with one of my most favorable experiences I've had at any restaurant. We chose to go to this place because it was in walking distance of the Town Ballroom. We wanted to sit at the bar because we weren't going to have enough time for a dinner, but the bar appeared full. We nicely told the host we decided not to stay because of this and the host asked us to hold on. She went to the some of the guests at the bar and politely asked if anyone would be willing to move around a little so we could sit there. None of the guests were disrupted or inconvenienced by this and they moved so my husband and I could sit. This impressed my husband and me beyond belief!! The atmosphere is hipster, modern, NYC style with wooden-brick accent walls and it had the perfect amount of dimmed lighting. If you're familiar with Utica's Tailor and the Cook and Ocean Blue, this spot was nearly identical in atmosphere, décor, and style. We were provided with their happy hour list which happen to be the best happy hour selection I have ever seen anywhere! Mixed drinks are my forte. Among many other choices, they had Moscow Mules and Margaritas on the happy hour menu and they were only $5 each! Many would assume at that price the drinks would be "watered down" in alcohol, but these were not! Even watching the bartenders make the drinks felt like an art performance in itself. We ordered poutine for my husband. It was a huge dish for around $14. I have never seen poutine look so fancy and appealing. I ended up helping my husband chow down and I don't typically like poutine! In addition to the dish size and its visual appeal, the poutine didn't taste like it was overloaded with salt! I find this very rare in almost all restaurants. My husband and I were so impressed and pleased with this place that we are certainly going to be coming back when we visit the area again.

Have been back a number of times since -- still a huge fan. They now also serve lunch Mon-Thursday's and I think it's one of the best lunch options downtown. Very small menu; pizzas, soups and rice bowls make up the brunt of it and there were no dessert options when I went, but the cream of mushroom soup that I ordered was one of the best tasting soups I've tasted in a long time. It had a variety of mushrooms and what tasted like a wine base of sorts. $7 got a huge portion that is honestly enough for a lunch in and of itself, but I'm a glutton at times so I needed more! My wife and I shared a rice bowl. It had brussel sprouts, onions, a little bit of curry spice and a a poached egg on top. A really delightful dish. One is enough to share between two people if you get something else like a soup. INTERIOR (5/5): I love it. Exposed brick wall, sexy lighting. It's a comfortable place to lounge around, catch up with a close friend, go with an SO. For dinner, I've tried: * their various burgers -- still contend that they are amazing and some of the best in the downtown area. House baked buns and a meat that is a combination of brisket, sirloin and chuck -- makes for a delicious burger when cooked to order. * octopus appetizer - The octopus was very tender and served with garlic scapes and Romesco. This was probably my second time in my life having romesco, but it is ****ing unbelievable and I'm excited to try to make some at home. It's a nut/pepper based fish sauce that originated from Spain and it is the perfect complement to the octopus. * Beef tartar - served with an egg in the middle. I only sampled a tiny bit and while pretty good, I found I needed to add a little bit of pepper to the beef. * salmon cured salad (not always on the menu) - It was decent and light. Overall, M+R is a great place to go for lunch, dinner and drinks. The staff has been incredibly accommodating every time. The larger dinner plates are out of my price range, but I'm happy to come here and devour small plates, burgers and salads.

Finally checked this place out. It's funny cause I thought it would be more of a steak and burgers kind place but it's actually pretty healthy and clean. Don't worry they do have mouth watering burgers. Thinking about them makes me hungry again. But anyways they have super healthy yummy salads, vegan things are more. They even had octopus that my fiancé's Dad said was incredible. The cocktails were on point. The mules were even better. Deff check it out. Great to bring a date cause she can get her salad and you can get your burger.

Good vibes definitely a great place to kick it. The bartender was very generous with the drinks definitely made them how I like it. I sipped on grey goose vodka with a splash of cranberry juice & pine apple juice. The waiter was absolutely fabulous, and very attentive, the place was definitely not busy for a Friday and the crowd was definitely super chill. Appetizer was delicious & crispy a patatas something I don't remember but it was Fresh, for a late dinner I eat the carbonara which had duck bacon, egg & bucatini very fresh as well & flavorful. Desert consisted of the biggest slice of Russian honey cake which has soooo many layers, and sprinkles of honey all over two scoops of some sour cream ice cream on the side. Menu changes at this establishment so I would definitely keep an eye out especially in the upcoming spring & summer months, all their ingredients are from local farmers so you get the freshest food... the only thing is that I would hope they offer on there menu some type of coconut raspberry sorbet that would be sooooooo Devine!

I've Never have had a bad experience here, and I've been here quite a lot. Bartenders Meg and Jess are fantastic- every cocktail I've had here are top notch. My favorite food choice would be the Pickled Onion Rings & the M&R Burger, I was never much of a burger person until I tried theirs. I've also had some special dishes too which blew my mind (most notably this delicious Brussels Sprouts dish I had about 6mos ago) The Bar Snacks (Spicy Cukes!) / Happy Hour (5$ Select Cocktails) is a great deal and goes later into the evening (I believe 7pm?) I've been here on romantical dates, casually with friends and even in large groups for birthdays. Atmosphere inside suits all types/ They are very accommodating/ but definitely call ahead! Marble & Rye is in my top 5 Bars/Restaurants in Buffalo. Aesthetically pleasing, not overpriced, great service & YUM everything-Ya Gotta go!

Was here over the summer and ordered the most amazing meatballs. Delicious food! Marble + Rye also offers yummy cocktails

Best burger I've had. Literally melts in your mouth. Great options and deals on their bar menu. If you're a wine and spirit enthusiast, this is another restaurant to add to your personal list. You can get flights, premium cocktails and unique beer options. Again back to the food, the beef tar tar was exceptional, and I had one of these specials (ham and butter) which also was delectable. Prices were fair based on quality of the food and the service. A flight of scotches, two beers and two cocktails with two entres was about $69/per person. I'm looking forward to coming back again.

Brought my boss from Chicago here tonight after hearing good reviews - and I couldn't have been happier with my choice! The drink menu is diverse and offers some awesome craft cocktail options alongside a nice wine and draught beer list. Our table shared the pickled onion rings, a special app for the evening of roasted carrots (so good), scallop fried rice, cacio de pepe, and falafel. Each of the dishes were nuanced with great textures, flavors, and high-quality ingredients. I was really impressed with the amount of vegetarian-friendly dishes on the menu - definitely more than the average upscale/quality restaurant in the area. Don't skip dessert, and I hope for your sake the next time you go that the 14-layer Russian Honey Cake is still on the menu! We also had an amazing waiter, a curly-headed fellow that was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. Can't wait to return!

There is a saying, that many of us had heard at some point in time. That saying is, "Time heals all wounds". I find that saying so true, from my recent visit to M&R. My previous review, there were things that I really liked as well as things I was very disappointed in. This recent visit was on a Wednesday night. I didn't think it would be busy but it was. My wife and I had reservations and we were seated very promptly. (I strongly suggest reservations) The atmosphere was nice, and the low lit brick and mortar restaurant puts you in a relaxing chill mood. Our server Colin was great. He explained the menu as far as small plates & entrees as well as the specials for the night. As we looked over the menu, the first thing I noticed was the fact that it was so different from our previous visit. That in itself was a very welcomed thing. I had a lot of choices to make, from the burgers to the steak dinner. They have 3 choices of salads, it would be nice to see M&R give a option of adding a protein to your salad. Of course, at an additional cost. Also it would be nice if they offer a seafood dish, even if it's just salmon. We decided to order the chips and dip & the steak dinner. The food was very good, and I was totally satisfied. We shared an apple tart & ice cream for dessert. The drinks were refreshing, but different than what I was expecting. From the cocktail menu we ordered the Wild Heart & the Odessey & Oracle. To me the drinks were more showy than tasty, but it could just be me. I am more of a scotch drinker anyways. I can say I will be back, hopefully they tweak the menu some to accommodate a more versital type of eating.

I came here with friends . Great bartender . We didn't try the food so I can't review it but next time we will try the food too They have lot of health section of beer and wine See u again guys

I've been to Marble and Rye several times. They have a nice bar and great ambience. The food menu is limited but good. Plenty of variety with drinks. I've had their burger a couple of times and it's my "go to ". However the fries could use improvement, hence the 4 stars. They aren't crispy and are over cooked - though they still tasted decent. I get the burger without the bun ( because I'd rather spend the calories on a drink lol ) therefore that's the picture I've included.
