    We’ve eaten here many times before and I’m just sorry to say it was not great! The service is always good, the atmosphere is lovely! The food is normally really wonderful, but unfortunately tonight was just an off night our appetizers came out right away and we’re good. We got the deviled eggs and the tuna tartare, both excellent, and cold dishes. Our main dishes were all a bust, and as I’ve eaten there before I had known the burger to be very good the ribs to be outstanding, but last night was not the case. I will always come back because of the atmosphere in the service, but I feel like they really need to step up their food game again.

    We enjoyed a terrific lunch, I had the salmon BLT, the salmon was fresh and cooked perfectly, my wife had the prime French dip au jus and enjoyed it very much also. We will definitely be back. You will not be disappointed with the great food and service.

    Dinner food wasn't the best, things can happen. They did the right thing and took care of my bill. Very cool spot would recommend.

    Service was good and ambiance was very nice. Palmetto Bluff is a beautiful place. Food was mediocre at best though, and for the cost, you're better off staying home.

    Our experience at Buffalo's continues to deteriorate each time we visit. On our most recent visit, April 12 we experienced problems with every aspect of our evening, from reservations, to slow service and inaccurate food and drink orders. When our drink order was delivered and we realized it was wrong, the manager came to our table and tried to re-serve us the same incorrect drink that had already been returned and tasted. Two beef entrees were ordered medium rare but came out medium well. They were sent back, and even the second serving was medium well - not even close to our preferred temperature. It was tough and flavorless. The chicken entree was dry and overcooked. Our daughter ordered grilled cheese and was brought chicken tenders. We have had high hopes for this restaurant since they renovated, and even thought that having the Montage hotel take over operations would result in a boost in service and quality. Instead, the menu is very basic and uninviting, and the service continues to disappoint. We will not be returning and instead will choose to dine at other restaurants on property.
