The Buffalo Club, Santa Monica CA

I love this place! The staff is wonderful, they always remember us and the food is delicious! It was windy and cool, so we were inside and it felt like an old movie. Listening to wonderful Sinatra music, that turned to James Bond soundtracks. Just then, Beatles playing the rest of the night! Fantastic! Great Bar and when the weather is good, the outside is all twinkle lights and romantic! Can go wrong at the Buffalo Club!

A delicious dinner. Opened in 1994 by the writer, producer, and creator of Miami Vice, the TV show, it has really turned into a neighborhood gem. Originally a dive bar it’s in a more industrial part of Santa Monica, but that just means that parking here is really easy compared to over on Ocean Boulevard. I was able to find a free space right out front. They kept the theme of an East Coast style speakeasy and currently there are only 11 tables inside. Tons of nautical and landscape paintings strewn all over the walls with dim lighting and a full bar, it’s the sort of place you will want to stay awhile. There was only 1 waiter working tonight, but he was working really hard and did a great job. Hopefully next time they have 2 working to expedite wait times.

Tonight we ordered the Softshell Crab and Tuna Tartare appetizers to start and we loved both of them. I usually prefer pan friend softshells and these were fried, but were still very good. For our entrees we chose the Barramundi and the Chicken Pot Pie. All the tables around us were ordering the Beef Bourguignon, which I should have ordered, but both of our entrees were very tasty as well. The fish was cooked perfectly complete with crispy skin and the pot pie was deconstructed with Jidori chicken and a delicious sauce on the bottom.

Overall a great meal and I would easily recommend it to anyone for any occasion. I already plan to come back in the near future to try different dishes.

The whole $20 for dudes and $0 for girls makes me feel like a bunch of douchy frat dudes own this place, but most the staff are nice. Only complaint is the music was ridiculously loud for no reason. Couldn’t hear someone yelling directly into my ear. Food drinks and everything else was good.

I provided my photobooth services, and it was a good crowd, and the staff and security were great.

It's An Incredible Safe Atmosphere. The Sound System Is EXCELLENT! The Worker's Are Courteous An Kind. I'd Recommend This Place To Any Club Goer.

The place was good to enjoy in the company of my husband and colleagues from his work since it was a party of his company.

Bouncers are rude and misogynistic. Wouldn’t let me bring pepper spray even though was for protection, don’t trust anyone here. Extremely predatory towards women. Disgusting.

Came here for dinner & drinks with friends and I had a great time! I loved the atmosphere and the service was amazing. I had the spicy bigeye tuna tartar and it was delicious and crispy. Also the espresso martinis were SO good! Would recommend!

Food: Delicious. However, the entrée portions are not all equal. The Impossible Moussaka would more accurately have been listed as an appetizer compared to the other entrées. Try the squash blossoms. Ambience: flowering, vined courtyard lit by sunlight and string lights at sunset. Great place to take your parents, have a romantic date, or celebrate a special occasion. Service: Goldilocks. Not too much attention, not too little.

Went there for a private party food was excellent staff was friendly And there was plenty of staff for the amount of people that were there. Great time had Valet parking great venue.

Thomas is probably the best bartender I've seen. Really really knowledgeable. Cheeers

Food, service and atmosphere were all great. It was a very slow night for the restaurant and that made it even better!

The food was some of the best I’ve had in life! I definitely recommend the Chicken Pot Pie and the beef bourguignon. The place was beautiful and the service was great, even the music was good!

My brother invited my wife and I to the Buffalo Club restaurant and just wanted to say thank you Cesar for dinner and for the treat and Juan Rivera who took care of us and his service was exceptional the food was amazing and drinks were a hit! Also thank you to Brainer which i believe is the owner who also was bartending for us. Thank you for having us. Great experience.
