What is it like to eat at the buff restaurant?
The Buff Restaurant was one of the best dining experiences in recent memory. My small group was originally seated in a spot that was getting too much sun. I asked the hostess to switch seats which was accommodated without issue. The server I had was great, the menu is so extensive I leaned on him to direct me to some great options.

Is the Friendly Buffalo the same as the buff?
You may remember our American restaurant as The Friendly Buffalo. Our patrons warmly referred to us as The Buff, so we decided to listen to our audience and make the change.
