Little upscale restaurant. Bright atmosphere, a bit noisy the night my co-worker and I were there. Service was lacking at first, and then the manager directed a waitress to us. Service recovered then. It was interesting that there were as many nightly specials as there were items on the menu. Quality of the wine and food were above average but not great. This would be a place to try again to see what it is like a 2nd time to see if there is an improvement or not.
I don't know what Ted's problem is, but hutches is "the" best restaurant in buffalo, everything on the menu is excellent, Strip steak is awesome, Halibut is out of this world, appetizers are great, atmosphere, staff, decor, everything is GREAT!!!
Absolutely wonderful is an understatement when it comes to fine dining in a relaxed but professional atmosphere. Mark Hutchinson has been doing this for years, The servers, Randy Schmitt who mans the bar are all top notch. Many have been there for a number of years. . That tells you something . The stuffed veal chop was the best I have ever had, Preceeded by 6 raw oysters were truly sweet, fresh and served incredibly cold. The Newton claret by the glass, or I believe you can buy it by the bottle was wonderful. I read where some people say its good but pricey - I say that is not true when you see the value and service you receive. If you travel to any "big" cities you would find a comparable restaurant alot more expensive.
