“ Literally one of the best meals I've ever had. Did the four course dinner club, all courses were delicious with interesting flavor combinations and fresh seasonal ingredients. The Beverage pairings were delicious, two wines and two cocktails that went well with their dishes. All staff was super friendly and accommodating, would highly recommend for a special occasion. ”
“ We have been here twice so far. The food was incredible both times! We discovered flavors and combinations that we never knew or thought to try. Each course followed a theme and was diverse and delicious. Intimate & comfortable ambiance. Cocktails and pairings were just as creative as the food and complimented the meal. Chef Bryan, Chef Steve, Derik and Cassidy are all amazing in their own way and as a team. We felt like family and can't wait to return. ”
“ Black Iron Bystro is a foodies dream. That is, if your a open-minded person. Reason being is, this place has two different menus. One menu (small) you have dips, charcuterie board, and scallops to name a few. The second menu is truly a mystery. It's a four course prix fixe dinner (100per), with a paired beverage (alcohol). This dinner menu is forever changing, and its whatever the chef wants for the evening. Every bit of this evening was a great experience. Good food along with high quality drinks. Makes this place a spot you have to try, and try again. The decor is beautiful and relaxing. The bar area is just as elegant as the dining area. This is a very small restaurant and even though they welcome walk ins. I would recommend making reservations. ”
“ This was seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in Buffalo. We did the A La Carte menu at the bar. Everything was 11/10. So, so good. I’m seriously going to be dreaming about the food. Can’t recommend this place enough! ”
“ Dinner club at Black Iron Bistro The only decision you make is to make a reservation. The rest is the celebration of food, flavors, you in all of it, and unmatched passion of the chef and his team. One of the favorite places to go for a date. Consider an option of walking in, sitting at the bar, and ordering from a la carte menu. You will be impressed with the freshness and thoughtfulness of your plates. ”
“ We had the mystery dinner there two weeks ago and it was wonderful. Service was stellar and each dish was a delicious surprise, especially the ribeye with polenta cake. I wish I had asked what the first cocktail was because I enjoyed it so much but missed when the server told us what it was. It's an intimate place with not many tables. Great atmosphere for date night or a night out with foodie friends. We will definitely be back. ”
“ Having eaten at many of the more acclaimed and established restaurants in Buffalo over the years, I have come to the conclusion that Black Iron Bystro is my new favorite restaurant in this area. The food here is clearly prepared with creativity, care and passion. It has a fusion vibe, with some unusual and fun combinations both times we have been there. Vegetarian substitutions are just as good as the regular dishes. The quality of ingredients is very high, and execution is excellent. All of the food arrives at the perfect temperature and it is genuinely delicious. Portions were substantial but not overwhelming (which is sometimes a Buffalo thing). The staff and service are friendly and excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Obviously it's a subjective thing, but we really enjoyed the style of music they're playing in the background too. It feels like you're eating at the house of very talented friends rather than just at a restaurant. Wholeheartedly recommend. ”
“ I went here for a date night and it turned out to be an amazing spot for a date! Food was perfect, drinks were great, and service was spot on! I really enjoyed the different flavors in the food (like the basil ice cream and curry in the stewed apples with the pork). I would love to go here again! And often because the menu changes regularly! ”
