We went to the Buffalo Bar and Grill in the Viaduct yesterday for my birthday, the service and food was excellent, they were extremely friendly and welcoming especially to our two small children, I thought the prices were very reasonably the only suggestion I would make is that the plates weren’t warmed, overall a lovely experience

We booked a table at 8 we arrived at Buffalo 8:00; however we waited about one hour after ordering the food. After one hour we were served with cold foods. The service was awful, very slow and most of them unfriendly. The quality of food was so bad, indeed. The prices are very expensive. We will not comeback.

Buffalo Bar and Grill is clearly not the best restaurant I would recommend.

Waitress who served my table was smoking on the balcony area and served my meal without washing her hands.
Every time she was walking by I had to hold my breath

She was throwing cigarettes on the other side of the balcony that disgusted my appetite.

Simply not worth going through that experience.

Princes Wharf Buffalo Bar and Grill was the worst experience I have ever had. We arrived to no seating and asked if we would like to be seated outside at 7:30pm in the cold until a table becomes available, absolutely ridiculous. Clearly was a sign we should have left, the rest of the experience wasn’t any better. Food average, service average, venue below average (way too small) and not worth going through that experience ever again. Should be closed down or go under new management. Very disappointed customer.

My friend and I had dinner here on 5 July 2012. We used a voucher and had no problems redeeming it.

The waitress was a cheerful and bubbly young lady, and made us feel very welcome.

For entrees, we had the bouillabaise and the salmon and scallop parcels. The parcels were somewhat disappointing in taste and presentation, but the bouillabaise was hearty and chockful of seafood. My friend enjoyed the char-grilled venison for his main, while I found the skin-on snapper quite satisfactory. We finished up with the chocolate banana box (different, yet tasty!) and an apple crumble.

The food was good but not particularly outstanding. However, the service was really good and we had a very pleasant experience dining here.

Having read many bad old reviews about the Buffalo Bar on Princess Wharf . I was afraid that we would have a bad night using the vouchers we had bought on one of the voucher sites. Family of 4 for 3 courses each.
Very happy to report that the waiting staff are not Asian but of European origin and although they speak with an accent they are in tune with the needs of the customer.
The 2 Asian chefs handled our orders well although we were the first table for the night . When the Restaurant filled later they may of been under stress.
Menu is extensive and impressive. I enjoyed the Scallop and Salmon parcels as an appetiser then a lovely Venison Main course cooked to perfection.
The Apple crumble was rather floury in the pastry but nice with the Strawberry ice cream.
My fussy daughters liked the Mushroom and Chicken Risotto.
Overall a great night . Not sure I would return and pay full price as the portions could have been a bit bigger to be satisfied . However for what we paid very happy.
definitely not as bad as other reviewers have described.

Awful food and service! We ate here last Saturday and will never go back. The children’s meals where over cooked and they weren’t even given cutlery. Our meals came out much later than the kids ones, mine (the supposed salmon and scallops baked in filo pastry) was nothing like it was described in the menu and my partners steak was so tough he couldn’t even cut it! On top of that he was constantly being dripped on from the ceiling, he mentioned it three times to two different staff members who laughed and said ‘oh you are the second person to say that today’ though to be fair their English was so poor they probably didn’t know what we where on about! We complained about the food but were told we had eaten too much to receive a discount. I also emailed them to complain and have never heard back. I would definitely NOT recommend.

Food was average, aswell as service. Ordered the lamb rump which I said twice while ordering. Ended up with the lamb rack special. Understandable when all the staff know English as their second language. When the proper meal of my rump came out it was rare and bloody. Not cooked med rare and left to rest long enough. Recommend the breads and dips and the chilled tap water.

Good location, mediocre dining experience.
Specials Blackboard Menu – outside, not available for seated customers to look at. Waitress had to go outside to check.
Food: Passable. Meat tough, veges and salad great.
Desserts: Uninteresting.
Menu Presentation: Poor. Pages in aged plastic folder.

Lovely location and lovely decor.

Have had two bad experiences here the two times I’ve eaten here.

First time a friend and I both ordered eye fillet steaks. Our meals arrived and looked a bit different to usual. We started eating to find the steaks were a slightly pale colour and had a pork like texture. When I questioned the waitress if this was in fact beef she laughed at me and said yes, its definately beef. I was still skeptical so I asked why the menu has said it game with red wine jus and we’d got some sort of creamy sauce. At that point she said she’d ask the chef. When he returned she was in histerics and told us they’d given us eye tuna instead of beef eye fillet. I dont eat seafood and my friend is allergic so as you could imagine we did not fine this funny. They offered to replace our meals but we told them we had to get my friend to the a & e before she reacted. They apologised but still made us pay for our drinks.

Second time, some friends suggested this restaurant so I decided to give it another go. Not so great service the second time and my friend found a hair in his meal.

Overall, not so great.

We dined here on the 23rd and thought it was ok, not great but certainly not the worst either. Staff were friendly and service was good. Although the menu looked good with a wide selection and reasonably priced, when the food came out it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Our french fries came out cold and had to be returned (the waitress was understanding and a new bowl came out quickly), the tuna fillet although tasty, was drastically overcooked and the lamb with mascarpone and walnut rub was a bit disappointing. We had a nice enough evening but now that we’ve tried it we probably won’t rush back.
