Tabree Opens With Options


I am a big fan of the outside eating space at Tabree. The owners were very clever in the way they have worked out a symbiotic relationship with Benjamin's Art Gallery next door. After talking with the gallery owners, a deal was struck which allowed the French restaurant to incorporate additional bistro tables into a romantic alleyway, tucked away from the main outdoor dining patio. Now diners have the option to sit in a lush garden-style atmosphere, or they can join friends on the spruced-up elevated patio. No matter where you sit, indoor or out, be prepared to immerse yourself into Parisian downtempo music and French Provencial cuisine. Look for the YUM review to appear in the upcoming print edition of Buffalo Rising Magazine.

For years, visitors to Elmwood Avenue have been gazing upon a partially lit neon work of art at Bidwell Parkway above Sahara Grill. Every once in a while there were reports that the neon was getting repaired... then nothing. That's not the case anymore as this Wednesday marks the official relighting of the Neon Tango Dancers. Thanks to the work of the Elmwood Village Association, the Buffalo Tango Society, NAS Quicksigns and Joe Golombek, the dancers will once again strut their st …
More often than not, Carl Paladino comes across as a guy who has a gripe about plenty of things in Buffalo—its politicians, its development projects and even the way its schools are run. And, more often than not, he makes a fair argument. Still, no one can deny that he is a full-time Buffalo Booster, with a particular passion and unconditional love for this city. It’s obvious in his dedication to doing business here.
As CEO of Ellicott Development Company, a real estate de …
At long last, Tony Maggiotto, owner of CityLove Clothing has found a permanent home on Elmwood Avenue. He has turned the former Stache/Damsel store into a one stop shop for all of your Buffalo needs, Tony is a mastermind when it comes to printing t-shirts that reflect the local times – my favorite happens to be the American Apparel that broadcasts ‘Peace Bridge Planning Committee. And now that Tony has made the move from apartment/cyber space to an official headquarters, he’ …

Horrible picture, time to take a class at CEPA; a journalism class couldn't hurt either.

This space has always had one of the most beautiful, "secret" patios in the entire City. Does anyone remember Kodiac Cafe that was located here? That was my first experience in that patio ( and yes, I STILL miss the fresh Salmon and Gorgonzola ravioli!) .
Yes - totally agreed - the restaurant size does not give away how large the patio really is. I have heard that Fois Gras is to DIE for at Tabree....can't wait to get there to try it myself!

I've only been there once, but the meal was fantastic and inspired. I can't wait to go back.

Foie gras, good not great. I think Bryan's cooking experience is limited to the grill at the Pink so he isn't the head chef jattea. Fun place and much more enjoyable than the Rue.

Had the pleasure of trying most of the food on the menu. I can say that everything I tasted made me want more. Bryan and Tara have really put a lot of thought into the space, the menu, and the experience they want their customers to have. You will not be disappointed with your meal. Whether you go in for a full meal or just a Duck Club sandwich at the bar, you will leave happy.
Great work and a welcome addition to a section of Elmwood that just keeps getting better and better.

Thanks for the info/link Jattea.
Their pdf menu on their site says the "Chef De Cusine" is Kristina Daley. Is this not correct?
It should also be "cuisine". Not "Cusine". Minor typo.
That said, I am really looking forward to eating here. French food is my background (as well as my heritage), and while Rue Franklin is quite good for French (Canadian) food. The blue blazer crowd they draw detracts from the experience for me.

Uhhh...just ate there for the first time, likely the last. Let's see....wild mushroom risotto - mushrooms burnt on the edges and risotto tasted lik it was cooked in either beef or veal base making it way too salty. Charcuterie plate - very good, nice sopressata (wonder where they get it). Sea bass - undercooked (read patially raw) otherwise good flavor, fresh. Steak - well, steak au poivre should have plenty of pepper but mostly in the sauce, when the entire steak is encrusted it overpowers an otherwise fine cut of beef which was perfectly cooked as asked (rare). Service was relaxed, not professional but effecient, a good fit for the space. Price - too much for the quality. Overall I was not aghast at the experience. it was ok, but I was expecting much more. On the upside I think they can definitely improve. So on second thought I'll check it out again maybe in the springtime.
