“Seats were nice in the balcony, I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Sound was a bit off in the beginning but they adjusted the mics for the singers and it got better”
“Absolutely amazing food and a great experience for what feels like not Enough $$. Seriously, I don't think I know of anywhere else that you can get quality like this at these prices”
“As a wedding vendor in the industry over 14 years, I have to say that The Avanti Mansion is truly my gold star venue!! From their incredible staff to their culinary creations, in addition to the beautiful space inside and out, it's a 10/10. I am beyond excited when I learn that one of my couples has chosen this location. ❤️”
“This was yet another fantastic stop while visiting the Electric City (No, not Scranton...). Just few blocks from many downtown hotels, it's a gem. It's a nice sized brewery with tables on two levels, and bar seating. All of the staff were friendly and the place was kept clean. The Brewben I had was delicious and everything that passed me going to other tables looked fantastic. Pricing is normal with most meals in the $14-$19 range.”

“Had a fabulous time Ice skating @ Canalside. Rentals were $5 per person. Admission is $8. Lockers $1.Pros: beautiful landscape.Friendly people willing to give out free lessons.Cons: they were out of many sizes of skates due to the demand of people coming in. Skates were hit or miss. Some were good condition, some were completely mangled.Long waits for rentals (so bring your own!!)Parking is sparse unless you are okay with paying ($5-$20).Overall, I would come again. Probably not on the weekend since parking is tricky & the crowding on the ice makes it hard to find your rhythm.”
“I have done quite a few balloon setups at this venue. They are always easy to work with, the staff there is so professional and polite. They have a beautiful facility.”
““I recently had my fantastic Wedding at J's White Elephant – the food was delicious and the hall was beautifully decorated . Karen is such a pleasure to work with ,her food is phenomenal and all of her staff are so helpful. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great hall rental experience. ””
“This was the first time I attended a concert at Babeville in Asbury Hall. It was a General Admission event with VIP seating for just the first seven rows of floor chairs.The venue was very historic looking, with lots of wood. The balcony is very cool. They don't serve food, but serve beverages at an upstairs bar. They also have a smaller bar in the basement. The stone work is also really cool down there. The men's bathrooms seemed to have enough capacity to reasonably handle the rush at Intermission.The sound in the room was not bad, but it was a bit muddy sounding. There were warm and cold sound spots scattered through the room.There isn't really onsite parking at the location, so you have to look elsewhere. There are a variety of bars and restaurants within a few blocks, so plenty of before & after gathering places.”
“Great vibes here, and the place continues to get better every year. Be sure to look up the historical connections to Frank Lloyd Wright and the hydroelectric capabilities this area provided when visiting the top quality venues nearby.”
“Came in and enjoyed our anniversary night trying 174 Buffalo for the first time (on a Saturday night). We made reservations, but because we got there as early as we did, it didn't seem one was needed. I could see it getting busy as the night picks up. The atmosphere was amazing. We ordered multiple drinks, appetizers, and meals, which all were absolutely delicious. We will most definitely be back and bring guests with us to experience what we have.”
“Witching Hour MarketRhiannon Needham & Alisha LezamaIt was an absolute pleasure working with Lisa and the team at The Show @ Shea’s Seneca.The Show is primarily booked for weddings, galas, and fundraiser events of the same nature. We were so grateful that Lisa was willing to take a chance and book us as an alternative to her usual events.The venue is beautiful in its natural architecture, but also very clean & welcoming to our guests/vendors.The staff was gracious and happy to serve our clients & answer questions.Our guests had raving reviews about the bartenders, their service, & their drinks!Lisa went the extra mile for us & even customized the marquee for our event.We highly recommend booking with The Show for your special day & private events!It is a stunning backdrop for any memorable occasion.”
“This Edwardian building has some fabulous architecture, and now houses the Ukrainian Cultural Center. We stopped in for some food (the proceeds going to the Ukrainian support the Ukrainian people during the war), and got to see the bar area with it's vaulted ceilings. The bar is staffed entirely by volunteers, and has a neat selection of Ukrainian beers. The food was also made by volunteers, and we needed a translator to order! Everything was great, and the people were all welcoming.While the area isn't the greatest, they do have a parking lot on the east side of the building which can get packed, but offers fenced off-street parking.”
“The food was ok, we were not overwhelmed by it. There were too many beef type options, no chicken options. We are not beef eaters. We hope they continue to improve under the new ownership. There was an Art Show going on while we were there, we would have enjoyed, the staff should be able to provide information regarding the goings on at the campus.”
“My son and daughter-in-law recently celebrated their wedding at CCC, and it was an extraordinary experience. The venue has been meticulously restored and updated, boasting a breathtaking interior. The food was simply divine, and the wait and bar staff provided exceptional service throughout the event. From the perfectly cooked filet mignon, chicken, and salmon to the delightful salad, vegetables, potatoes, and hors d'oeuvres (including coconut shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, and bruschetta), every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch.The team at CCC, comprising Kevin, Alison, and Kim, was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure every detail was attended to. The spacious dance floor added to the fun, and the dining room's exquisite chandeliers created a truly elegant atmosphere.Along with the beautiful rooms, one of the highlights was the outside veranda and patio, which allowed all guests to unwind and enjoy the event in a comfortable setting of their choice. CCC has truly mastered the art of combining timelessness and elegance in a wedding venue, making it one of the best-kept secrets in WNY.”
“We just has our son and daughter in law's wedding here last Friday. Between the venue, food and staff I could not be happier with the way things turned out. They staff was wonderful and the food was great. Everyone has an amazing time. Highly recommended.”
“Shared a night to celebrate my sister's upcoming wedding, select a special wine for her big day, enjoy an evening with friend & receive a basic understanding of the wine making process. A wonderful, intimate place with fantastic proprietors. I highly recommend the fun even if you're not a wine drinker like myself. I lived it!!!!”
“Great music, Live bands , great service and cheap drinks. Always open to the public. Workers are volunteers and are always working hard to please you. Stop in and have some fun!”
“It was a pleasure to visit the Buffalo Home show at the Buffalo Convention center. The ease of navigating through the center was great. The Convention center exterior looks great as well.”
“I will say this establishment as a music venue has come a long way over the years . Happy that there is more seating so you can grab a bite to eat and relax while watching the entertainment. The music sounded great - they even had screens showing music videos while the band , Nineties by Nature , played . The nachos I ordered were crispy and cheesy - just as they should be ! My strawberry Moscow mule was tasty too. Only 2 reasons why the Cove can't be a 5 star review - #1 - not enough servers (we had to wait quite a while to be served ) on a very busy night - they should have been staffed better. #2- only 3 stalls in the women's room . There should be no reason to wait 15 - 20 minutes to go to the bathroom at a bar . With a space that holds 500+ people - they need another bathroom or add more stalls . I'd go back for more music though - just be careful how much you drink - you may have to hold it for awhile if a trip to the restroom facilities is necessary .”
“Enjoyed a great birthday dinner at Patina. Had the salmon and my husband had the lobster pasta both dishes were delicious and service was amazing. Very friendly and attentive staff made for a truly great experience. Would highly recommend.”
“We had a fantastic dinner at Curlys. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. All the dishes were prepared and served with such purpose. The portions were great too. We had crab cakes, beet salad, Curlys burger, black black bean soup, and scallops Balboa...all just super good. Wonderful restaurant there in Lackawanna!”
“Dan, the outstanding manager, was polite professional and catered to my needs. Something you don't see regularly at neighboring business'. Our experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to go again. Great place, great food. Definitely going back.”
“I've rented the middle room 3 times for various events in the past year. Pat who handles the bookings is fantastic. The accommodations and staff are top notch. I'm a Vet but not a member.”
