- MMarkNew York City •3 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoA raucous good time! We went on a Friday night, and it packed to the rafters with only a few open seats here and there (we made reservations, bypassing the line). Most tables are long, with benches on either side, seating 8 people. We were a couple, so we were seated with a family of four. We made sure to come when the live music was German-themed (accordion and various woodwinds), for more of a biergarten feel. People sometimes sing along. Service was slow, with time—maybe a little too slow—giving time to enjoy the music, and watch various screens showing sports. Food was good, generous portions; the leftovers will go for another two meals. Be aware that the SMALL beer is a pint. Do not come here on a first date. You will not be able to have a conversation. So loud that when we have our order, we had to point to the menu and use hand gestures. All part of the experience.More infoHofbrauhaus- BuffaloPrice: Moderate• German• Buffalo•4.5

- MMarkToronto / Ontario •16 reviews5.0Dined on Aug 21, 2024The calamari is, possibly, the best I've ever had. A light, flavourful ... I'm not going to call it a crust because it is much more delicate than that. It's not a breading either. But there is a little something on the outside of the calamari that makes it delicious. The aioli is lovely as well. Chicken schnitzel had a little too much oil on the plate, but the seasoning was spot on and every taste fantastic.More infoOggi BistroPrice: Expensive• Italian• Fort Erie•3.9
