Compass Run

Absolutely incredible meal. I went with my spouse and a friend, and we loved it from first bite to last. My wife and I were early for our reservation so we sat at the bar and had a couple of amazing drinks before our friend arrived. We got the oysters, which were fantastic and perfectly accompanied by the hot sauce and grated horseradish (the mignonette was great but not really my bag), followed by the mac and cheese (handily among the best in Buffalo), burnt ends (luscious, melt in your mouth perfectly rendered crispy pork belly) and the "good life," which included among other things perfectly poached shrimp the size of the palm of my hand. We split the barbecued chicken (that sauce was FIRE) and the bananas foster for dessert, which was both the best of its kind I have had and large enough that the three of us shared it and weren't able to finish.

Every course was prepared with care and attention to detail. The fresh seafood, oysters specifically, were amazing. Believe it or not, they quietly make one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in Buffalo. Definitely get the fresh buttered buns too.

This place is absolutely amazing. Took a friend here from out of town and they were highly impressed. We ordered the daily veg, char broiled oysters, boudin balls and the pork belly burnt ends. The pork belly melted right in your mouth, each bite more savory than the last. The slow poached lobster was so fresh and tender. The service was exceptional. I will absolutely be back here. Bonus were so savory, many options to choose from for all different palates

Great selection of fresh seafood, raw oysters, and some real treats like the BBQ burnt ends. This place is great to have a tapas - style meal with where you can sample many items from across the small plates, appetizers, and side dishes sections of the menu and leave feeling stuffed.

What a fantastic experience! It's not everyday you find a diamond, and this is a true diamond. Spectacular service. My friends and I reserved seats at the bar. But where do I start! The whiskey selection was/is put together for royalty. And it had some heavy allocations like Blood Oath, Eagle Rare, and Old RIP Van Winkle, Weller, and much more! That was only 1/10 of the Bourbon/whiskey selection. Justin (Devo) who was managing the bar introduced us to an entire selection of drinks!

Let's jump to the food!!!!! The burnt pork ends, the Mac and cheese you could add lobster, the steak with the sauce that was made in house that you could aslo add a lobster tail, and the mushroom appetizer are all must tries! Sorry that there are no pictures of the tongue tantalizing food. We ate everything so fast because it was so delicious. It's as if we have to get the pictures as they are moving it all from the stove top to the plate because it was devoured so fast. Oh, and the hot sesame buns, or hot buns, pun intended.

Get lost and find yourself at Compass Run. They'll take care of you.
