Tonight, Buffalo welcomed the grand opening of One Sunset, Leonard Stokes' restaurant and bar. The young NBA player was on hand to welcome friends and guests, as the wait staff passed around samples from the menu created with the help of consultant Sam Reda, Executive Chef Bruce Bain, and Sousse Chef Jason Denton. The first floor was packed with well-wishers and curiosity seekers alike... it's not everyday that you have a star athlete open a restaurant in Buffalo. The fact that he did says a lot about the down-to-earth entrepreneur.
Leonard followed the transformation of One Sunset every step of the way. He was pleased with the final turnout (both interior and crowd), and walked around the establishment shaking hands and answering questions. Mayor Brown was on hand to congratulate Leonard in his latest endeavor. He spoke to the crowd who in turn applauded the two as they shook hands.
One Sunset is located at 1389 Delaware Avenue.
