The Little Club Buffalo

I’m new to Buffalo and just turned the legal drinking age :) So, my first full dinner and drinks experience ended up being at The Little Club Buffalo! My whole experience was absolutely perfect. Christine and Erika kindly greeted and welcomed me at the door and showed me to my spot at the bar (that I’d reserved online prior). Courtney was the bartender, super knowledgeable about the drink questions I had and she essentially designed my experience (thank goodness!) because I’d wanted to try everything and couldn’t narrow down to a few solid courses, but I had great cruise directors! I started with their Sakura Fitzgerald cocktail which was like a classic gin fitzgerald served up, but I found out they make using ‘Lockhouse Sakura Gin’ which has cherry blossoms infused (& they’re from delaware park!! 🌸) it was so tasty. The Fitz paired very very well with my first course of Crispy Papas. They were well seasoned and delicious. After the fitz and papas, I was recommended a refreshing Mocktail, their Tonico Verde. Tonic, ‘Not-A-Gin’ botanical syrup, lime juice, lovage, celery bitters. This was better than a gin and tonic. I’m really glad I tried it. Now for the MAIN - paired along with a beautiful glass of Bedrock red zinfandel - I more than enjoyed Little Club’s Sirloin. it was served to me at a perfect temperature, sliced and laid over a mushroom crema, next to fresh gorgonzola bread and an endive pickled pepper salad. to die for. I was certainly pushing full at this point. But when Courtney brought their menu back to show and talk to me about dessert options, I couldn’t say no when I saw the house Panna Cotta. It was perfectly creamy with light lemon and honey flavors. I finished with a craft coffee shot that was perfect with dessert. Thank you courtney, christine, erika and everyone at TLC for an awesome night
