Saturday, we were treated to a seafood feast at Seabar. Having reserved the only seats left in the house that night - at the sushi bar, we were able to watch everything being made fresh. The sushi, oysters and other seafood goodies are some of the best in Buffalo. And, for our guests who don't like sushi, Seabar has an eclectic mix of hearty meals to satisfy just about any taste. Something non-seafood that I would highly recommend is the Chicken & Waffles. For some, this sounds like an odd combination, but the crispy fried chicken and the waffles with maple syrup compliment each other perfectly.

And, if you're just out for a few drinks and maybe some apps or sushi, the bar at Seabar is a great stop for your night out or happy hour party with an upscale, yet relaxed atmosphere, several craft beers on draft, and martini & wine selection.

If you're planning dinner, though, be sure to make reservations in advance because Seabar is almost always full.

Seabar is known for some of the freshest & also the most creative seafood & sushi dishes in Buffalo. On our recent dinner stop, we also noticed a well-stocked & busy bar too. Be sure to call ahead to make reservations because when we got there, the dining rooms were packed. While we waited we enjoyed a couple of Southern Tier IPA draft beers, one of sevaral craft brews on tap at Seabar.

Some of the delicious selections that we sampled include: Sumo Noodles from the specials menu (Noodle Bowl with Raw & Stewed Beef, Mushrooms, Choy Sprouts & Slow Cooked Egg). And, also from the specials menu, the Whole Crispy Black Sea Bass - a whole tempora battered sea bass with a soy ginger sauce & chili dip. You actually pull strips of battered & fried fish to dip in the sauces!

Of course we tried a variety of expertly prepared, fresh sushi, with some delicious twists, including their signature Beef on Weck sushi rolls. We would also recommend the Chef's Sahimi Tasting - five fish, five flavors.

And, check out the amazing fish tacos - fish, avocado, salsa & a hard taco shell. For you land lovers, there are some hearty dinner options like the Chicken & Waffles or the 40 Hour Short Ribs.
