Chez Ami Restaurant

Been here a couple of times for happy hour, but finally went for a proper meal.
I took advantage of their Buy One, Get One Free lunch special, which comes with the caveat of the second meal is covered only up to $15 (nothing is 15 dollar except the salads).
So you will still spend a few dollars extra with the special.
Still a great deal to get a meal for later or if grabbing lunch with someone downtown. I opted for the Chez Burger and Pulled Pork Sandwich (for later).
The burger was 8oz Chuck/Ribeye Blend Angus with Fig Jam, Garlic Aoli on a Brioche bun.
It came with a side of fries and was delicious! I highly recommend the burger. I took a bite of the pulled pork to try it while it was freshly served it was alright.
It had a bit of a different taste to it that I'm used to with pulled pork, but that could have been due to the Citrus Coleslaw served on the sandwich. Overall it was a solid dining experience and I enjoyed my meal at the revolving bar, which is always a enjoyable time.

Our friend was staying at the hotel and I wanted to eat before going out on the town. My wife and I both got one drink.
A Hamburg draft ale for me and a Blood Orange Smash for my wife. We started with the Avocado 🥑 hummus with pita ($14) which was OK but desperately needed seasoning! My wife got the sticky tofu bowl ($28) and I got the hanger 🥩 steak ($50) entrees.
While I'm not a tofu fan, she really seemed to enjoy it and comments that it was even better than she was expecting. My hanger steak was cooked perfectly (just shy of medium) and the sauteed bock choy and two egg fried rice were an interesting but delicious accompaniment. Our server (Grace) was attentive without being intrusive.
Their enclosed and air conditioned terrace was pleasant even being 90°F outside today in Buffalo! While a bit spendy at just shy of $190 (included 2 glasses of sauv blanc at $15/ea for our friend) with a $32 tip...
at that price, I really expect EVERYTHING to be seasoned properly.
However all around a pleasant experience and would recommend.

Very easy to make a reservation online.
Came here for an anniversary dinner.
The service was great and the staff was very friendly.
The prices are expensive but the food is good.
I like that the calamari is both rings and tentacles.
You don’t see that too often.
The steak was good but the rice that came with it was pretty bland.
The tuna was good but wasn’t anything special.
