Excellent food every time we go here. The chef comes up with unique specials and we have never had a bad meal. The service is always impeccable with the head of bar, manager and head chef checking in with each table and engaging in conversation about your thoughts. More

Our dinners at Jazzboline over the past six months have been consistently divine, so much so that a review feels long overdue. Each visit has delivered a level of care, flavor, and ambiance that makes the experience feel truly special.
This evening was no exception. The burrata salad featured a uniquely refreshing sorbet that elevated the dish in an unexpected and unforgettable way. The crispy duck wings, finished in a hibiscus BBQ glaze, struck the perfect harmony of texture and flavor. I am still dreaming of that BBQ glaze.
For our main courses, the sea bass was expertly prepared light, flaky, and complemented by thoughtful accompaniments that enhanced its natural richness without overpowering it. The Angus strip steak was equally impressive, cooked precisely to temperature with a perfect sear, delivering deep, savory flavor in every bite.
Jazzboline continues to impress with its consistency, creativity, and attention to detail. It remains a standout dining experience!

We made reservations for eight people for brunch. Our server was OK. Three of us ordered bloody Mary's non-spicy and it was nothing more than tomato juice and vodka with some garnishes not bad but nothing to write home about. We ordered our food and when it came out, the food was warm at best. We told our server who immediately got the manager. The manager was not friendly offered to cook us new food. By then everybody had their food. Some wouldn't even send it back even though it was not up to par by the time the eggs Benedict were ready. Everybody else was done eating so we told her we didn't want it. She did bring out fresh waffles with blueberries. These were hot but again nothing to write home about. Everybody had a beverage four of us had coffee when the Bill came she advised that she took off two of the eggs Benedict when in reality she only took off one. We were surprised that that's all that happened considering that everyone's food was barely warm. When I confronted the manager for the second time you could see she was trying hard not to get nasty and asked what I wanted her to do. She didn't understand that I shouldn't have to ask for something it should've been taken care of. For a place that is considered fine dining you would've thought that there would've been more apologies and something more than one of the meals taken off the bill and is paying for a meal we didn't even eat because the food was cold. There were eight of us that were there for the first time and after the treatment of the manager and the way the food came out we would never come back. We paid the bill and left.

I do want to start off by saying that I had a great experience with the bar and the management! I'm not writing this review after just one experience, we have been several times now. The vibes for happy hour and late night are killer. It might happen to be my favorite spot in the area or within several miles for sure. You gotta love that it is right off the highway too, making it extremely accessible for anyone passing by. The drinks were on point and the prices were extremely reasonable. I love the bar and love the atmosphere 💯
The food was decent and nothing came out bad. We never sent any of the food back and pretty much ate most of what we have ordered. I want to be honest and say that nothing we ate blew our socks off. The food does take a while to come out, so the anticipation definitely builds while you wait .... I would just say that I feel this is the one area maybe they could do a little better. Again, the food was consistently good but nothing was great. Otherwise, I think they absolutely crush the competition in the area and will be coming back here again and again! Gotta give them 4.6 stars for an overall rating. Stop in and try if you're passing by

They cater highly to food allergies and the nice waitress double checked the kitchen before confirming; whether or not I can eat it.

We had a great time at Jazzboline with my family. The food was really good and the service was super welcoming. It’s a great spot for a family get-together or even something a bit more special.
They have live jazz on Wednesdays and Sundays. Would definitely go back!

Everything was great except the tablet. One for 4 people took us a while to look at and then we ended up with simple mixed drinks. Two tables per a table of 4 would be easier. More

This place is phenomenal. I went multiple times during my stay at the Reikart House. Mrs. Michelle, Jenna, Chelsea, and Kaylin were so sweet. They are the epitome of customer service. They were kind and knowledgeable of the restaurant. The food was so delicious. My omelet was probably the best I have ever had. The cinnamon roll is the most delectable roll I have ever had. My favorite dinner items are the scallops and risotto, salmon, and Lamb chops. I will definitely be back. The Service and food is second to none.

Beautiful venue. Attended a formal function with served, sit down dinner. The filet was over done for my taste (not asked/offered a preference) and the mashed potatoes were luke warm. Preparing for a large group, the items were also minimally seasoned. Everything else about the venue was absolutely beautiful.

The food at Jazzboline Restaurant & Bar was very good and definitely the highlight of the experience. The music and atmosphere were nice, although the music was very loud at times, which made conversation difficult. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow, which took away from the overall visit. The restaurant layout also isn’t very practical — getting to the bathroom requires weaving around tables and guests. The high-top tables were uncomfortable as well since the chairs couldn’t really be adjusted or moved easily. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service and layout could use improvement.

Overall not a good experience at all... the food was okay after we waited an hour and a half to get it. But we first had to wait 25min. Just to see our waitress and get water. This was all after we made reservations and were one of the forst groups in there at 10am. I am very disappointed about our entire experience. Amd would not come back at all and would jot recommend it to anyone. Lastly, when we had to use the restroom, not only was it very hard to move the high chair because of the carpet but we had to literally weave and squeeze between tables to get there because there was no clear path. Seems like cramming as many tables into a space just for profits was more important than customer satisfaction.

First let me say, the experience was amazing. Our server was very attentive! Food came out in a timely manner as well! This is my first time having Duck wings and when I say it didn’t disappoint it literally satisfied every taste bud! I should’ve just ordered a bunch of these for dinner! Cause the sauce they were cooked in… words can’t describe how amazing it tasted! The bbq lamb ribs i honestly didn’t care for since the duck wings set the standard of taste expectation! They were good though! The sea food bisque, was on the same scale as the duck wings! The taste and flavors were perfect! I personally dislike steak and only eat my wife’s steak and I could’ve done without it due to the taste of it! It wasnt a bbq Smoke tasted but it tasted like it was flamed im assuming. In which It didn’t meet my satisfaction but I’m not a steak eater so I can’t really judge the steak except I asked for med well and they definitely made it exactly like that! The green beans had a fancy name any they tasted healthy! The French fries didn’t need salt or ketchup but I added some anyways but those were honestly perfect in my opinion! As like how seasoned fries taste except no seasoning but a seasoned potato! I love the fine dining and clean atmosphere they have! It was beautiful and peaceful to be in! I definitely will be back one day for sure!

A bunch of us were staying at the Reikart House hotel and came here one evening for drinks. While sitting at the bar we decided to try a few bites as well… their beef on weck is huge and looks so very amazing! The meat on it was tender and flavorful and so was the au jus that came on the side! Loved their housemade horseradish sauce to dip it into as well! And those fries were insanely good! Their drinks/cocktails are decent and they have a huge wine list. Service was decent. The venue is beautiful! Very nicely decorated inside this restaurant!
The next two mornings we ate breakfast in the hotels dining area, which we assume is the same at this place? Either way, their breakfast menu is awesome! Loaded with many great options, whether you seek healthy or fattening and fun, they have it! Their breakfast wrap was so delicious! Their parfait was amazing too! Service for breakfast was also very nice!
Highly suggest stopping in for breakfast and for dinner – it’s all good!

Jazzboline is one of my favorite places to eat in Buffalo!! I love the overall vibe - elevated and elegant - and how unique their menu is. For instance, the duck wings we had as the appetizer literally had hibiscus in the glaze and it went so well with the buttermilk ranch! The calamari was also fantastic, super light and crispy, not oily at all. For our mains I loved the seabass and lamb (plated over a delicious al dente risotto), both seasoned so well and cooked to perfection. The servers were very kind and attentive! Also, as a non-alcoholic drinker, I appreciate that Jazzboline offers so many refreshing & delicious mocktails :)
There were a lot of other menu items that caught my eye, such as the crispy lion’s mane because it comes with a gochujang sauce, and many more - needless to say, I will definitely be back!
