We have been here twice so far. The food was incredible both times! We discovered flavors and combinations that we never knew or thought to try. Each course followed a theme and was diverse and delicious. Intimate & comfortable ambiance. Cocktails and pairings were just as creative as the food and complimented the meal.

I went here for a date night and it turned out to be an amazing spot for a date! Food was perfect, drinks were great, and service was spot on! I really enjoyed the different flavors in the food (like the basil ice cream and curry in the stewed apples with the pork). I would love to go here again! And often because the menu changes regularly!

Always an amazing unique experience! I love a mystery so I come with an open mind knowing whatever’s plated in front of me will be loaded with an unbelievable amount of flavor and made to perfection! LEGIT!! Its like a work of art. And the new spot is beautiful, staff is very attentive. Cocktails are ON POINT! I cant wait to go back to try the al la cart menu at the bar.

This place was incredible! Service was exceptional as we were ushered in for our reservation. The timing was quick and moved right along for a multi course meal. The first course was a pear and sweet pea dish which Ok, but each course following impressed! The next dish was swordfish salad, so good, followed by a charred octopus on salted potatoes and the main was brisket that melted in our mouth and had perfect flavor. All of this followed up by a strawberry/cayenne ice cream, which was perfect. Overall I highly recommend. The level of quality, service and care with each dish was beyond expectations!

Black Iron Bystro is a foodies dream. That is, if your a open-minded person. Reason being is, this place has two different menus. One menu (small) you have dips, charcuterie board, and scallops to name a few. The second menu is truly a mystery. It’s a four course prix fixe dinner ($100per), with a paired beverage (alcohol). This dinner menu is forever changing, and its whatever the chef wants for the evening. Every bit of this evening was a great experience. Good food along with high quality drinks. Makes this place a spot you have to try, and try again.

My husband set up a birthday dinner for me and it was one of the most wonderful evenings I’ve ever had. The meal and drinks were so thoughtfully currated, service was fantastic, and the overall quality of the experience was really one of a kind. I can’t wait for my next visit there!

Such an incredible gem in Kenmore!! I just came across this place and knew I had to try it! We did the surprise dinner club and it was such an incredible experience! They made cocktail pairings since we don’t drink and each meal was such a great fusion of flavors and textures! I already can’t wait to go back again! I would highly recommend trying this place out! Truly a dining experience like no where else in Buffalo but has such a comfortable feel! Staff was amazing and the whole meal and experience was incredible!

I review new restaurants all the time and this is one of a few that’s worth coming back to! Been eating here for years. It’s a small space with limited seating, the atmosphere is nice with dim lighting and there’s always music playing which is nice. The only negative things are the tables are way too close together, you’ll feel like you’re having your meal with strangers if anyone sits at the table next to you because they can hear everything you’re saying, no privacy…. And they expect you to use a QR code to view the menu. Not everyone wants to bring a phone into a restaurant or have to go through the hassle of doing that just to look at a menu, very inconvenient. They have a limited à la carte menu for walk-ins, I love that the dishes are always creative, and the presentation is always great! I don’t even like focaccia but I’ve had two different kinds here and they were both great, perfect amount of crunch, saltiness and butteriness… delicious. the hummus with fava beans and spices was also good. The fresh homemade agnolotti was stuffed with squash and cheese, it was decent, although a bit bland, with a nice texture. Pork tostada was decent. The pickled frites with aioli are one of my favorites, so flavorful! The roasted carrot plate was wonderful also. The Persian love cake was the absolute worst tasting cake I ever put into my mouth, it had a vinegary flavor which really threw me off, and a mealy texture similar to cornbread. I was expecting to like it because I really love cardamom but I didn’t even detect much of a cardamom flavor because it was overpowered by the vinegary taste. My friend liked it, which I was completely baffled by. The service is always great here. the staff at this location are personable and friendly, which was a nice change because the staff at the old location were stone faced and pretentious. The water they served they said was filtered, which is nice, nobody wants to drink chemical tap water. The only other complaint is that there’s no salt or pepper on the tables which I always consider a clear display of arrogance by the chef. The agnolotti definitely would have been much better if there had been salt and pepper. If they have the basil ice cream, I highly recommend it, it’s super creamy and so great!

The food is delicious and the aesthetic is high end and cozy. The mixologists and the chef are exquisite! Everything I have ever ordered, from food to cocktails to wine, has been exceptional. I highly recommend this spot for any occasion.
