Buffalo??
The phrase “…had the best seafood in Buffalo NY…” is not something you read every day, do you?
But, I gotta tell you – I said just that!
Located near Elmwood Village is the very popular Hutch’s Restaurant. When we arrived at 6 pm on a weekday evening, the patio was already full, and parking was a bit difficult to locate. Luckily we had reservations and were promptly seated in one of the two interior dining rooms.
The atmosphere is lovely; candle lit and very pleasant was what I immediately thought as I looked around at all the other smartly dressed people who were seated next to us. Hutch’s would be the perfect place for a romantic dinner for two.
We came specifically for the seafood but don’t think that seafood is the only thing available. Not at all, the entire menu is extensive and includes beef, lamb, chicken and veal along with crab, lobster, fish, and scallops. Hutch’s has much to offer, and it would have been difficult to decide if not for the knowledgeable service staff who knew the menu inside and out.
What I ate at Hutch’s Restaurant
Thai High Calamari
- Fried calamari in a spicy red pepper vinaigrette
Sautéed Jumbo Soft Shell Crabs in white wine, lemon, parsley, garlic and butter
- soft shell crab was perfectly cooked
- crunchy shell exterior with a soft, succulent meaty interior
- the sauce perfectly accompanied the crab and was rich and lemony
House Made Mojito Sorbet
- light and refreshing
- palate cleansing
- perfect after a rich meal such that I had

While you are in Elmwood Village
There are some charming shops and 街頭藝術 throughout the village to check out but for the foodies out there here are a few must visits.
D’Avolio
D’Avolio at 814 Elmwood Avenue is the place to go for all things olive oil, vinegar, gourmet foods and spices. They also have tastings in the store, and you can build your own box of samplers. There are 6 locations in Buffalo, and the one in the village of Williamsville has a great kitchen/restaurant for eat in or take out.
Ashkers Juice Bar
Another great food place is Ashkers Juice Bar, Bistro and Gallery located at 1002 Elmwood Ave. We stopped here for lunch after a day of shopping and had a delicious and very healthy meal!
