Sometimes dining is a matter of staunching hunger, while at other times it's a journey in search of an elusive taste. Satisfaction, in the latter case, is a matter of hitting the taste sensors just right, and dining at Tabree takes care of that on many different levels.
There's big city ambience in Tabree's economy of indoor space. The cozy window nook, the long dining room, and the bar that fills up with all ages of urban types 3 times per night, makes the tight quarters intimate, but with a community feel.

Love the pastries at Delish on Elmwood? Well, there's going to be more to love. On Saturday, May 9th, Delish Pastry Shop opened Sprinkles, its new ice cream shop. Modeled after an old-fashioned ice cream shop, customers will have the opportunity to create their very own sundaes using any of the amazing baked goods made at Delish, homemade dessert toppings, fresh whipped cream and 16 different flavors of EDY's Ice Cream. Delish will also be offering specialty cones for the ice cream.
Unlike other ice cream shops, you will not find any milkshakes, floats or malted shakes.
It's another beautiful Spring day, the kind we in Buffalo refuse to waste. And who cares if it's Tuesday? Head on down to Cozumel for a few margeritas, hot dogs, and fun. You can even feel good about yourself; hot dog sales and a 50/50 raffle will benefit Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
Get there around 5:00 pm tonight for a live mariachi band and DJ, who will be spinning some tunes. You'll be able to order food from the restaurant and order drinks from any of the 4 outdoor bars.
"We're really fortunate," Cozumel owner Bob DiPosquale told me,
