A hidden gem a little off the beaten path. Excellent service and really neat decor. Definitely old school. Chicken pot pie was very good.

Came here on a Friday night for a girls dinner with some friends. Food was excellent!! Loved everything we got. Drinks were also very good - I recommend the espresso martini but the wine I ordered was also fantastic. Service was not slow but definitely drawn out so I’d plan on taking your time which we were happy to do! Our server was wonderful. Overall great experience and would come back again.

I’ve loved going to The Buffalo Club for years. It never disappoints. From the phenomenal service to the astounding food, this latest visit did not disappoint. The Beef Bourguignon was to die for. This latest experience was no exception, the zucchini blossom starters are delicious. Thanks for a great experience, as always! The Buffalo Club outdoor patio late evenings has a DJ, more of a club atmosphere, also fun. So grab a meal first then head to the patio! Vegetarian options: This place tends toward nice steaks, fish, and lamb and the menu is rather limited. Though there may be a vegetarian option or two, it would not be my go-to place for vegetarian or vegan. Parking: There are meters, but they don’t run after 6 and there are plenty of spaces on the street. They have valet for those who prefer.

When this place first opened, in 1994, it was a classy, old-school type of establishment, where you could have an excellent meal, well-made drinks ... and it was quiet enough to have good conversation (one of the few in L.A.). Then, after a few short years, the owner decided to turn the place into a pick-up/party joint, with a cover charge for males and no charge for females, and loud live music. I'm sure that move increased his profits (alcohol, alcohol, alcohol), but it ruined the dining experience for many of the original customers, many of whom simply stopped going there. It's a real shame, because the same brilliant French-trained chef is still in the kitchen, but fine dining and a club full of raucous 20-something party animals do not mix. Farewell, Buffalo Club. Lucious food. Lousy scene.
