    Due to various circumstances, we were unable to travel to New Orleans for Christmas as planned. We had both taken vacation time and paid the cat sitter… so we opted for a mini vacation in Buffalo. Our meal at Jazzboline made everything better. The cocktails were superb. The appetizers heat (try the deep fried lions mane.. I’ll be dreaming of that for weeks). Our entrees were very well done - his salmon was cooked perfectly and my vegetable gratin was delicious. Our waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing. We will be back!

    I went to 42N at the Flats with 2 friends after a matinee at Shea's. The space is beautiful. It was busy but not noisy--very conducive to private conversation. Food was delicious I wish I could remember our server's name. He was very friendly and accommodating, knew the menu well, and was quite efficient. It couldn't have been much more convenient to Shea's. All in all, we had a great experience. I would definitely go back.
