    Such elegance. From the perfectly cooked food, the excellent servers, to the warm classical ambience and architecture. The establishment was far more than fine dining; truly impressive. Reuben was our server; that gentleman, was the most engaged, respectful, and informative server my girlfriend and I ever had. In Reuben we trust. I would highly recommend dining with Buffalo Chophouse, they are very generous and focused on making sure that each customer leaves satisfied. My girlfriend and I dinned there in celebration of our 1 year anniversary and for her Birthday, we both agreed that we would not have wanted to spend it with any other establishment.
