Phenomenal. Best in Buffalo. Go now.
Las Puertas is a fine dining experience on the West Side, free of pretension and full of heart.
The French menu series was a delight, showcasing creativity and mastery. From table candles that transformed to melted duck fat and ghee to simple salads, perfectly dressed, the experience sparked joy. I will be chasing the delight of the crawfish soup and the pear sorbet in my cooking and dining for years. From the cocktail menu, the well dressed and old fashioned was the best old fashioned I have ever tasted.
On a personal note - my booking was a party of six to celebrate my elopement that day. One guest had allergies to gluten, dairy, and soy. Head chef Victor Parra Gonzalez called me directly, understanding the importance of the occasion, and confirmed the nature of these allergies. He put together a special menu for the guest in our party with allergies, with each course mirroring the fixed menu. This level of hospitality allowed us to celebrate joyously, and I am so thankful to the chef and his team.
I am excited to return and see where the menu travels next, and will recommend this restaurant highly to anyone who wants an above and beyond meal and experience in Buffalo.
