We just had our wedding there this past weekend- for 150 people, in the hall space. Our coordinator (Tara) went above and beyond to iron out all details, from the day we met her to being able to put into action our vision for the day of. Tara was present, attentive to detail and available to address any concern that arose. We cannot thank her and Robin enough for making our day everything we could have dreamed of, and more. The chefs, waitstaff and bartenders did an incredible job ensuring the best food and drink was served, and it was all delicious! We chose to serve family style, everyone loved this aspect of it, the cocktails were superb! The ambiance of the indoor and outdoor space was perfect- our vendors were easily able to communicate and coordinate with Tara in the months and days leading to, to ensure a smooth day for all! Lastly, the space for us and our guests- from the bride and grooms suites in the second floor, to the private bar in the front, the hall space for our ceremony and dinner to the perfectly quant front outdoor space which had just the right amount of privacy and lighting, our guests spent as much time in that space as they did inside dancing to the music. Wayland was the perfect space for us on our day, we would do it over again and again!

My wife and I hosted our wedding here this past weekend and could not have been more pleased. Having a wedding at a brewery was not on our initial list, but once we toured the entire venue including Wayland Hall we knew it was perfect for us. We also cannot thank Tara enough for coordinating our big day. Between her great communication and attention to detail, she made us feel prepared and at ease on wedding day. We consider her a friend and appreciate the huge role she played making everything perfect! We had an amazing time and would recommend Wayland to anyone considering a new and unique wedding experience.

I was incredibly Impressed with Wayland and the staff! I attended the venue for a surprise party and let me tell you, coming from a girl that is not easy to please… they checked ALL of the boxes! Food, decor, cleanliness AND responsiveness! The event coordinator, Tara was an absolute DOLL and just FABULOUS to work with! My friends and I had been running around tirelessly all day preparing for the event, so much so that we hadn’t had the opportunity to eat before the event started. When Tara found out, she immediately requested appetizers and drinks for to be sent to us! Her and her staff truly went above and beyond the ENTIRE evening, contributing to a very success event! ❤️

Had a great time with friends enjoying some specialty cocktails, excellent wings and deep dish pizza. Very nice inside dining area and a huge outdoor beer garden area. The service was excellent and prices are reasonable. Only drawback is they need more parking. 4 out of 5 stars !!

This was a new spot for us to try out. Parking is behind the building. The outside area is very warm and inviting with lots of open space. We were there for a Workingman’s Dead show. The location is kept very clean. Unfortunately two things weren’t up to par. The first would be the bartender with glasses in the event space he was a bit rude when taking my order after I stood there for a decent amount of time with barely anyone at the bar. The other was the acoustics of the event space. Sound was bouncing everywhere and it gave your brain a scramble. When it filled up with people it got a bit better. Easy fixes are rugs or sound dampening material hung from the ceilings or on the walls. We enjoyed how new the location felt was and also it had nice clean bathrooms. The outside area was a huge plus. We didn’t eat there so we didn’t experience the food,

The smoked brisket sandwich is delicious, but most of the menu is very good as well! Can’t go wrong with the beers they have too! I like to try something new every time I come here with friends. Visiting in warm weather is just as nice as visiting during the colder or winter months. I really enjoy the outside area for the fires and games and the inside lounge area to just hang out and enjoy some drinks. Bathroom is very unique being that it’s individual with a wash station in the center.

I attended a surprise retirement party in Nov. 2024. This place was amazing! The space was huge, the staff was welcoming and very accommodating and the food and display was excellent. The bartenders were so friendly and personable -they catered to all requests and had a specialized drink menu just for the occasion named for the honoree. I had a gluten allergy, and our hostess Tara made sure to give me several options of meals I could have prepared with no hesitation. A great time was had by all in attendance. I would definitely go back when in the area to experience the fire pit! Well done!

Was excited to check this place out since their other spots are always so good. Loved everything about it … the space / decor was great; so open and spacious and well designed. The food was fantastic (tried the chicken nuggets, fries and burger). And the drinks were great too (beer, cocktails and mocktails)

Always enjoy it here. The food has improved since they opened. Everything i have now is delicious. Today was the turkey cranberry sandwich. The beers are top notch. All I've had are flavorful and refreshing. Top of the list for Buffalo breweries. Atmosphere here is also awesome. Big open windows running down the length of the building. And great music. Staff is always friendly.

It's nice to have this space in a somewhat-dead area of Orchard Park. It's tastefully decorated and feels modern. I met up with friends for drinks and small bites, which were good, but we were seated at a long banquet table with other parties (even on a weeknight when the room was only 50% full). It was so incredibly loud we had to shout the whole time. I also attended a private event here, which was not the best experience. Parking was horrendous, with many guests ending up in the business parking lots across the street. For those who parked in the back lot, it was a long walk over their massive outdoor patio and into the event space entrance. The event food was not filling, with many items quickly running out never to be replenished. They had ONE bartender for about 140 people.

I have been to Wayland twice now. The outdoor space is wonderful. Can't wait to see it in warmer weather. I have been here for brunch twice. The first time I had the corned beef and it was good. I also had a couple drinks including the Youre So Eddie Money. I liked the drinks. This time, I had the chicken sandwich without the bread. I loved it. All.of the flavors were wonderful and I'm still thinking about it a day later. The chips and the dipping sauce were great as well. The atmosphere is great. It is bright and airy. We sat in a table near the windows and my friends were getting water dripping from the roof on them. That isn't a great sign considering this building was just built! They are going to have some issues with that roof and windows. The one thing I don't love is the loud atmosphere and not being able to hear people at your table at times. Also I like the bathrooms but wish there was a door because I wouldn't want to sit at a table where I was facing the bathroom Who wants to see that? There isn't any privacy with the sink area.

What a great place! Bright, clean and with loads of room, this is a perfect spot for brunch or lunch just minutes from the Bills' stadium. The beers were fresh and tasty and the food looked incredible. Unfortunately we didn't have time for more than the tour and a pint. The owner is a very friendly upbeat guy and the bartenders and servers were happy as well. They must be doing something right.

The food is good ... although they haven't changed the menu since it opened. They have 30,000 square feet of space, but only seat 80 people at a time?? It's gotta cost $500 a day just to heat that place - and all that wasted space ??? The novelty has worn off for me - NY Beer Project has a better system.

We wanted to have dinner here but the music was so loud that we sat outside and had a beer, then left. The beer we had was excellent: German Pilsner and the Shire.

The Wayland was a very traditional german pilsner. The chicken nuggets were alright, VERY fatty meat and a little undercooked. The wings were spicy but a good price 10/$10 for the masters. The interior itself was clean but the bathrooms were very strange and public.

Very spacious facility with plenty of seating options including inside and outside. No table service you simply go to the bar to order. I'm unsure why you have the option to tip for this no service, but it seems like everyone does it, so I guess they are joining the majority here. There is a host stand but it was unmanned the day I was there and it was confusing as to what was supposed to happen next, until another guest handed me a menu from a pile behind the stand. I returned the favor for the next guest behind me. The food selections were interesting and slightly different which is a good thing. I like the open bright airy feel of the place. Will definitely be back.

My fiancé and I came here last night with some friends and we had a great time! The space is amazing and so big. It was kind of loud since it was crowded with a few parties so you had to shout a bit. My fiancé got the Astral and Shire beers. He said that Astral was easy drinking and tasted well balanced. The Shire is unique being a New Zealand Pilsner which you don't come across often and was very refreshing. I just decided to get a Shirley temple. Overall we loved it and will be back!

On a Saturday night, this place was insanely crowded. We waited over an hour and a half for a table and ended up leaving before we could be seated. There was way too much going on here. There was some kind of party in the back of the brewery and every part of the place was packed with people. It is extremely loud due to the high ceiling. Their food menu looked great with lots of options for everyone. It looks like trying again in the summer will be a better choice to try their food. Since they have a large outdoor space.

Wayland is a destination that had me *even* before I found out they were *dog friendly*. The place is so fresh, so needed in the WNY area. I have to drive 30 mins to get here and I find it worth it every time. The exterior belongs in the Hamptons, the interior is sun filled and airy - everyone in there is chatting and having a good time. Just overall great vibes. They have creative and delicious vegan and vegetarian options. I swear by the tacos, tostadas, and guacamole, and the fillings are switched up so try them all. There is a to-go window, if the seating is filled up. I love having the ability to walk up and get my food quickly and easily. However, they have always accommodated us as walk-ins during the weeknights and there is a lot of seating when weather permits on the outdoor patio.

Wayland is just so beautiful! Can't go wrong with sitting inside or outside. The IPAs are good. Rose slushie is a must in the summer. Has a good wine variety as well. I've eaten the chicken nuggets and Detroit pizzas. All of which are so good! Don't sleep on the nuggets.

Shrimp torta 9/10 Only had one bite, it was someone else's. Shrimp was great crispiness. Nice soft bun. The coleslaw was homemade too, with some kind of salad dressing similar to mayo but not mayo. Pickles were good. Pretty messy too. Slab bacon tacos 8/10 Great bacon, nice and thick, great flavor. Egg falls off easy. I wish the egg was seasoned better, it was pretty plain. Salsa cilantro is good too. They did not put scallion. Loaded brisket nachos I did not try these, but they were piled high and looked yummy.

Wayland is just what OP NEEDED! We stopped here after golfing and wow, this place has immaculate vibes! The interior design is superb. Hats off to whoever designed it. Service was fast and friendly. Drinks were exceptional. I loved my beer - the Pub Ale. And there's bocci ball and cornhole to play while you drink their delicious beer. This place rules. And it was POPPIN. It's the perfect place to grab some beers with a big group of friends - it's huge. Guac was great, can't wait to try more food soon!

The highlight of Wayland is the atmosphere. The outdoor area is amazing and I love the vibe inside. It's bright and fun. Every cocktail I've had there has been great and the wine is good too. Both times I had food it was just fine. I'll stick to drinks from now on.

Cute new space. Nice beer list, also limited wines & cocktails. Food menu is simple, servings are modest in size, moderate in price. This place is first come first serve, they will not take reservations. Parking, although they have what looks like a large lot, was nearly impossible when venue was what looked to be 1/2 full. Waited over 45 minutes to sit down, then service was excellent. Seating is either at standard table or picnic table style bench seating. Big beer garden with lots of open bench seating, tables & a bocce area, small stage where someone was facilitating a trivia night. Beer garden has a walk up counter where you can order drinks. Interior has a merch shop with bar & lounge, two lounge/seating areas & the kitchen which is behind a bar. Private spaces present, but weren't open during dining hours. Restrooms are gender neutral separate small rooms and a communal hand washing.

We have always loved the beer but decided to grab dinner today also. We had chicken pot pie & smoked brisket sandwich and the fries. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back for dinner/ brunch again. It was loud but it's always loud inside. The waitress was on top of everything also!

Great spot for beer and bocce while enjoying some sunshine! Expansive outdoor seating area features plenty of picnic tables, some in the shade and plenty in the sun. There's also indoor bar and table seating though, as well as event space. Lots of people had dogs so I assume they're dog friendly. The beers I tried were great! The only disappointment is that they don't do flights. Service was fairly quick since they have two registers to order from the window and another to order inside. We didn't have any food.

The building is architecturally beautiful. A Scandinavian structure with a bright and beautiful mid-century modern interior. The interior of the building was airy, with glass ceilings and walls. The outdoors had elegant picnic tables, built in seating, and a great bocce court. Our drinks were great! My hard seltzer was very light, and tasted almost like champagne. The food was funky with a Mexican twist. Our meal came out in record speed, and was nothing short of delicious. In the same family as the Grange, West Rose, and the The Outpost, I expected nothing less than a fantastic time here. A fantastic time was had! I can't wait to come back with more friends.

After years of watching the construction of this place, and anxiously awaiting its opening, the day finally came for our chance to give this sparkling new venue a try. So disappointing! It's not all bad. The space is bright and clean, with lots of glass and some greenery. Good size parking lot. Bocce court. Fire pits in the beer garden. But these features aren't enough to outweigh the negative. Not everyone is a sun-worshipper. Since none of the outside tables have umbrellas, enjoying the nice weather wasn't in the cards for us. I wish they could figure out how to group food orders by table, even if each person ordered and paid separately. All seven of us placed our orders one after another, but by the time the seventh person got her food, the first was nearly finished. Just awkward. $12 for a glass of ordinary Argentinian pinot noir? Seriously? And in this day and age, what kind of brewery doesn't serve flights? The biggest criticism of the day was the incomplete menu descriptions. When one of our party asked if anything came with the torta, she was told no, ordered a side of tortilla chips, then lo and behold, her torta came with tortilla chips. Another ordered the hanger steak tacos which came drizzled with crema - not listed on the menu. She doesn't like crema. Sent them back. My smoked carrot tacos had cilantro sprinkled all over them. Once again, not listed on the menu. Haven't you heard about the gene that causes cilantro to taste like soap to some people? You can't just fling that stuff everywhere without telling people. One of the carrots was so woody I couldn't bite through it. And there was way too much harissa. It was pretty much all I could taste. Chicken nuggets? Meh. And to add insult to injury, everything was overpriced. Waaaay overpriced. Whoever planned Wayland focused too hard on the glitz and neglected to consider the little courteous touches that make a place a special destination that keeps people coming back. The beer may be good, but unfortunately the food end of the operation doesn't live up to those attempts at high-end gourmet bar food. It's still new enough that I'm willing to give them another chance, but if the food is still mediocre and the menu is still inaccurate, I doubt I'll be willing to cough up 12 of my hard-earned dollars for a glass of wine a third time.

So much build up about this brewery and it does not disappoint. The atmosphere alone makes my review 5 stars. Huge indoor and outdoor seating spaces which is good because both times I've been there it's been packed. Light and airy with some masculine touches. And the print/packaging of the beer is so graphic and cool! Both times I was there I had the Rift IPA. Which I will likely continue to order - perfect IPA, especially for summer. Light enough but packs enough of a pinch for the average IPA person. Unfortunately both times I was there the kitchen was closed - right now the kitchen is closed 2-4pm(?). Will follow up with another review when I taste the food! The second time I was there it took a little while to be waited on at the back bar near the shop corner but it was busy so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. And this place is still brand new so I imagine they're still working out the kinks with employees! Can't wait for this to be THE spot for the summer!

I looked up reviews of Wayland when it first opened. It had some good and some not so great. Waited till yesterday to see for myself. Parking, super easy, pretty close, nice first impression of outdoor area. There's a hostess station between outside and inside. We got there about 630 and stated closing time was 8 pm. We tried four of their IPA's. They were good and the one used hops we had never seen before; talus and loral. We got two different IPA's: Super Deluxe and Fun Fact V2. The food menu has enough variety that you could find something you'd like. The chicken nuggets were really good, crispy with a great coating and two of their home made dipping sauces; one, of course, a blue cheese variety. The other a sweet spicy sauce that was really good. We also tried the brisket. I asked how long, they said 8-10 minutes and it was out in 2 minutes! There was a few fatty pieces, but that's not unheard of in brisket. Overall it was good. Also tried the cashew dip, which didn't taste like cashews at all! Ordered extra chips at a $2.50 up charge when we didn't finish all the dip. One of our party wasn't a beer drinker and the staff was super accommodating in finding him a drink he liked. We didn't get charged for the seltzer he didn't like, which I thought was over the top. We also changed his choice at least three times. The place isn't cheap, but nothing is. You get what you pay for. The beers are spot on with the competition. If you need a cheaper night just order beer.

This place is mind blowing. Something I would not expect to see in a Buffalo suburb. I had been to the Post prior to the renovation, and this is the complete opposite. Take an old school 50's bar and make it as modern and trendy as possible. First of all, the four beers I've tried have all been outstanding. And the prices shockingly are not inflated whatsoever. Merch is super cool. And this is easily one of the biggest beer gardens I've ever seen. I'm very curious to see what happens with all this sapce once the weather turns. But in the meantime enjoy the nice weather and this gem of a location.

The ambiance was awesome - a very updated, modern setting. Fast service, and we had a wonderful server. She let us sample a few different beers to figure out what we liked & what we wanted to order. The outdoor area was cute and packed with people. I ended up ordering the summer special lobster roll and it was probably the best I've had in WNY. They butter the roll and toast it, then fill it with fresh lobster. So good!

Beautiful outdoor patio with heaters and the inside is so nice. They had a live band that was excellent Songbirds and a bunch of vendors inside also. Our server and the hostess were super nice and informative. My husband liked his beer the orbiter. I had a very good margarita. We had delicious Cajun wings to start which had excellent flavor. Then we shared a turkey jalapeño sandwich that was also very tasty!! Would love to come back when the weather is better!!

I'd only ever been to Wayland on a Friday / Saturday evening when it was slammed, so decided to come for Sunday brunch! Showed up right at 11 when they opened. It only started getting busy around 1 when I was leaving. I was surprised it stayed as quiet as it was from 11-1. Enjoyed my pear pressure cocktail - gin, pear, lemon and spiced syrup. Also got an overwinter coffee and the sugar and milk tray that came with it was adorable. Got the loaded French toast which was really good - French toast with a smash burger, egg and bacon on top. Blueberry syrup on the side. In my opinion it was more like a blueberry jam. It was super thick syrup, but I really enjoyed it. Hannah our server was upbeat, attentive and friendly. She was also super helpful. My friend's meal came with a spicy sauce, a cream sauce and jalapeños on it which we did not expect based on the menu description. Hannah got her a plain replacement within 10 minutes which was great. So I would caution to just ask what the menu items have on them vs on the side because the menu isn't too descriptive. Wayland is very family friendly. There have always been tons of kids there when I went. Which is fine, just not always what I'm in the mood for. My friend and I had a nice time and I'd definitely be back for brunch!

Don't listen to all the negativity in the other reviews here -- Wayland offers an all-around fantastic experience. A friend suggested we meet here for dinner and drinks and I was more than eager. I'm a huge fan of the owners's other restaurants, so I knew this would be just as great. I'd be remiss if I didn't start this review by talking about how beautiful the space is. The inside dining area is so bright and beautiful, and the patio is just as stunning. You can tell a lot of time went into the design of the space, and I really appreciated it. They've got an ample lineup of beers, truly something for every taste. My friend and I had a beer each, both were delicious. We split a few plates for dinner -- the chips and guacamole, their chicken nuggets, and some carnitas tacos. Everything was so tasty (though being a chicken finger fiend, the nuggets and their accompanying dips were my favorite), and the rest of their menu sounded really good as well. Everything was fairly priced for how high-quality it was. And did I mention the service was great too? Really, you can't go wrong coming to Wayland. They've ironed out the kinks that come along with opening a new restaurant, and I'd say I had an excellent experience. Will be back very soon!

I really don't get why this place has the low reviews it does -- I came here on Friday and absolutely loved it! For starters, the design of the space is beautiful - super sleek, modern, bright, and open. Big fan. We started off with some delicious cocktails - mine was a smoky green mezcal one and it was delightful! We shared some chips with the smoked cashew dip and guac and it was all so yummy!! The chips were soooo fresh and crispy and the cashew dip was sooooooo freakin GOOOOOD! I got the lamb barbacoa tacos and OMG... I'm literally still thinking about them. They were SUPERB!!!!! I was licking my FINGERS!!! I also had one of my friend's steak tacos and it was BOMBBBBB! The tortas all looked amazing too... I need to come back and try that smashburger one --- looked so gooooood. Definitely will be back next time I'm in Buffalo!!

I've been here a couple of times, and have never been disappointed. The beers are always fantastic, the food is delicious and quick to come out. Then there's the staff. Every single person you talk to that works here is so genuinely friendly. It's such a nice change of pace compared to a majority of restaurants/breweries nowadays. This is a fantastic spot that offers a good variation of beers, and places to sit and relax. Well done, Wayland.

Good beer selection. I liked the few that I tried. They don't do flights which is a little disappointing but I won't knock a star off for it. Decent amount of indoor space and a huge beer garden. The beer garden tables could use some awnings or umbrellas though, it can get hot in the sun.

It's been a while since I gave 5 stars to a place. This place was sooooo good. The design of this place is the restaurant/brewery of your dreams. So beautiful, clean, and modern. So much seating both inside and out. There is an awesome biergarten with a bocce court outside. We came on a Sunday afternoon, got right in without a wait. The service was wonderful, there is community seating so we were placed at a long, large table with other people. It was loud... Most breweries have echoing walls due to the high ceiling and this isn't any different. Very very loud. Lots of different beers to choose from. The Fiesta (cherry sour) was soooo good. Flavorful and refreshing. The food was amazing. My only complaint was about the sauces provided with the home-made chicken nuggets. It comes with fresh honey as a side, and a peanut-salsa that looks like chili crisp but doesn't have any heat to it at all. They need to offer hot sauce. Or the spicy chipotle sauce that's on the hanger steak tacos. That would be soooo good. The tacos were great but the real MVP is the brisket torta smothered in thick delicious creamy queso! My goodness, I will be dreaming of this sandwich for days to come. It was soooo good! This was the type of place that Orchard Park needed. I've always felt like the restaurant choices there were lacking but this was such an amazing addition. Can't wait to come back!

Stopped into Wayland for the first time. We were quickly greeted and whisked to our table by a friendly host. Very impressed by how friendly we were welcomed. The space is beautiful, open and inviting. For drinks we started with Festa Sour Ale and guest Cider Rose'. The Cider was great, the Sour wasn't bad, not my favorite though. We got the house made fries, which were crispier/firmer than expected, but good. Next we had the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. Rolls were toasted, soft and warm. The meats were tender and mildly spiced. Both came with chips and onion dip, which were a nice combo with the sandwiches. Service and venue were the stars, will be back to enjoy their outdoor space once it's warmer outside.

I really wanted to like this place and I had high hopes, unfortunately, I found tin foil in my nachos, then paid too much for a microwaved pretzel and some chicken nuggets. The chicken nuggets were top tier in taste and poorly presented. Those nuggets should have a chance to shine, maybe in like a five, ten or twenty piece options? The rest of the food menu is underwhelming. The whole place is trying too hard and lacks that hometown soul. It could be anywhere in America. Beer was good, I will say that much but I don't think I'll be back. There is enough good beer many places these days to pay extravagant prices for mediocre food. Also, the girls looked kind of sad. I'm all for waitstaff not being chipper all the time, but I felt like sad robot ladies were working there. Last point, it should be a closed kitchen. I can understand open concept if your staff is wearing chef coats and arranging five star cuisine but I don't need to see the back of house here.

Wayland is awesome. They have made some excellent changes to the menu since opening, and I think their willingness to adjust has shown! The beer is great. We have always been able to taste test, and I have loved each of the IPAs I've had. Food wise, the fries to complement sandwiches are so crispy. The kale caesar salad (the king of salads) never disappoints and they give such an excellent portion that you're full by the end of it. My husband has really enjoyed the brisket sandwich and the chicken schnitzel. The rotating/seasonal menu items give the adventurous eater something to look forward to. It's such a gift to Orchard Park!

This place is very poorly managed. It took us 45 minutes to be seated and then our food for a table of 5 came out at all different times. The first person was already done by the time the last person was served. The food was way too salty (probably because they want to sell you more beer). The restaurant was so noisy our sever couldn't hear us and kept saying "sorry, what?" I had to yell to give my order. We could barely talk at the table because of the noise. I will never come back.

You got to check this place out! Wide variety of beers, cocktails, wines and not alcoholic options. The food is upscale bar food and definitely vegetarian, vegan, allergy friendly! Not sure if it's like this all the time but we came in on a Friday afternoon and you order drinks and food at the bar but they will deliver food to your table. The space is super casual and hip. I really wanted to take a couch home with me!!

The beer is delicious and the atmosphere is so awesome. A lot of wood and industrial tones throughout the space. I'm excited to make this a regular spot for us to come visit!

We had a great time! Im so happy they're dog friendly!! The outdoor space is beautiful and well thought out. Highly recommend their seltzer (it's on the drier side) and I saw many people repeatedly getting cocktails so I'm assuming those are a hit as well. Since we had the pups we couldn't eat inside and unfortunately, they don't serve food outside nor do they allow take out options. Hoping this is just temporary since they just opened, but other than that I have no complaints! Will definitely be coming back!

It's fine here. If you show up without a reservation you'll wait 1 hour plus on a Friday. They do have a lot of staff working the bar, which makes getting a drink easy.

Went out to Wayland on a weeknight. What a great place, excellent service, small menu and high quality excellent food. Ordered the hot wings and they were delicious, came with homemade blue cheese dressing that was perfectly blended. For Beer, the Salt of the Earth Kolsch was phenomenal. WAY better than the competition!!

It was uncomfortable, no table or seating area seemed welcoming. Food was mediocre at best.

Beer didn't taste too bad, but at $9 for draft beer it should be exceptional. We ate there too. The serving sizes were outrageously small. The $17 tacos were literally 3 bites each. They did taste good though. Some of the door came out in a few minutes, others took about 15, so the first person was done before the last person had their food. I have no desire to go back!

Very poor service, food was also bad. The fries tasted like they were soaking in oil overnight, would not recommend.

Went there and the atmosphere was nice, but when I asked about turning on the outside fire pits the staff legitimately responded... "we have fire pits? Where?" And then when we showed them they said oh yeah no they are broke they have a gas leak I think.... Yeah. Nice try but hard pass.

Aesthetically beautiful and the grounds are very clean. Shared bathroom with no towels available the entire time we were there, I personally told 2 runners and asked they get hand towels. Food: they need a chef and kitchen staff that know how to season Mexican food. Table of 4 and an appetizer and it was all mediocre. We left hungry. Beer: passable. Not one of the best sources for Craft Beer in the Buffalo area. Need better wine selections. We doubt if we will return.
