Restaurants near First Niagara Pavilion

My daughter & I went to Ritual House for the first time last night. We got seated in a booth near the bar. We ordered a bread board and the edamame, both were good! I ordered the Asian inspired chicken and got the sauce on the side, as recommended by the waiter. The chicken was moist and the breading perfectly done! The sauce was on the sweeter side (almost like syrup), so I am glad it was on the side. Didn’t care for the slaw. My daughter got a grilled chicken Caesar salad, she said it was good! We will definitely be back to try some different food.

Tina, our waitress, was attentive and friendly. It was noisy, being Xmas Eve and seated adjacent to a loud, large crowd with lots of little kids, but you can’t avoid that on Xmas Eve no matter where you choose to dine. All up, a nice meal out.

Greeted warmly loved that we were seated in the main dining hall. I loved that I was able to people watch! Many guests came for a buffet and were disappointed! But the atmosphere and Indias smile were so engaging that she made up for the lack of buffet

James was an exceptional server/bartender/Sommelier/hostess! He gave perfect recommendations to pair with our starters and meals. The Norwegian Halibut was amazing! The evening was extremely special celebrating our dad’s birthday. It was sweet and memorable to have two daddy daughter dates as well. Molly also was so sweet! We will definitely come back! Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Excellent food and good portions spoiled this visitor from nYc. Lobster bisque actually had lobster chunks, the avocado toast with Benedict eggs was superb, and the Reuben sandwich close to perfection. Terrific service and very reasonable brunch prices. Will mos def be back!
