Waxlight Bar A Vin

The drinks here are incredible and the staff was very helpful and kind. Amazing mocktails + loved the small bites. The ambiance would be great for a nicer date. The seating arrangements and bar are inviting and comfortable, and you can surely stay here a while! Make a reservation and don’t miss it. :) x Elise

Waxlight Bar à Vin is a unique gem tucked away in Buffalo’s Black Rock neighborhood! With an ever evolving, eclectic menu of food and cocktails, every visit feels like a culinary adventure! The ownership team is made up of seasoned chefs and knowledgeable sommeliers, bringing unmatched expertise to the table. Their commitment to detail and service shines from the moment you walk in. It’s no surprise they’ve received three James Beard nominations! The space itself is just as imaginative as the food. Sleek, modern, velvet textures and sultry lighting, it strikes the perfect balance between elegant and inviting. Once you find Waxlight, you’ll be hooked! A must-visit for anyone who loves trying new flavors with great wine and cocktail pairings.

Our food was well prepared, service was excellent throughout the experience. Attentive and kind staff. The menu is short, but varied, so there's likely something for anyone to enjoy. Would recommend and will return.

Our favorite restaurant, by far! Great service and exciting menu items. We love that they are always experimenting with different flavors and ingredients. We have never had a bad experience here.

I cannot say enough about this place! My husband and I went here for a personal celebration and we were blown away! I would give this place 10 stars if i could! The cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever had. The service was top-notch and truly made our night that much more special. Our server, Lauren, from the moment we said hello until the end of our visit was beyond outstanding. She took time to explain different ingredients and flavor profiles of various dishes. She answered all of our questions with a breadth of knowledge, all while being kind and personable. She was just absolutely incredible from start to finish. The food? Omg OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS!!!!! Honestly I had some expectations but even those were blown away when I tasted the beef ribs, pork belly, pasta (pasta is made in house and you absolutely can tell that it is!) and hangar steak. You can taste the incredible attention that is put into the food at this restaurant and it’s hands down probably the most impressive restaurant I’ve ever been to in Buffalo. I simply cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Just the food alone makes it one of the best (actually it was my favorite place I’ve been to in a very very long time and I’d say it has to be my favorite fine dining spot now) but the gorgeous atmosphere of this place (interior design is exceptional), the service beyond phenomenal, the overall experience struck a chord and has left a lasting impression. This place really is that amazing- I don’t know that my review can even do it justice. We will be back with my in-laws and my sister and her husband as well. I honestly cannot wait to go here again!!!

First time here and definitely not the last! The ambience of the restaurant was awesome and such a cool vibe. Service was absolutely amazing and food was fantastic! Went with a group of 6 and we got a bunch of different apps on top of entrees. Everything was coursed out perfectly and the desserts were perfect! An awesome evening with not a single complaint definitely one of my new favorite spots!! Loved it
