Diners Undercover strikes again! Well Ok,\u00a0this was our first time striking, so we decided to go big. We were going to spend a few bucks and hit one of Buffalo\u2019s finest upscale locations. Our destination: Hutch’s on Delaware Avenue. Their online menu seemed creative and diverse. Neither of us had ever been there before, so with\u00a0open minds (and open wallet), we put on our snazzy attire and headed to the city.<\/span><\/p>\n The place was hopping, even after 8pm when we arrived. We were hoping for a romantic dinner and for a brief moment we began to think this would not be possible with the noise and bustle. Fortunately, we quickly found the restaurant is set up with small sectioned off areas with private nooks and cranny\u2019s for an intimate experience.<\/span><\/p>\n From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable. From the well-dressed hostess with a pleasant smile, to the debonair bartender quick to recommend a fantastic wine, to our waiter, who despite looking like he just graduated from high school, did not leave a single detail unattended.<\/span><\/p>\n Our appetizers were absolutely delicious.\u00a0Both the stuffed poblano pepper with black bean and corn salsa, and the\u00a0amazing mussel stew with andouille sausage, were\u00a0meals in and of themselves. Truthfully, after our delicious appetizers and generous salads (tomato mozzarella basil and spinach salad with warm bacon pommery dressing), not to mention the bartender\u2019s recommended Paso Robles 2008, we already were completely satisfied. Yet, we couldn\u2019t resist our entrees, chosen from their evening specials, the bone-in tenderloin, a very generous portion done to perfection, served with snap peas and garlic mashed potatoes, and yellow fin tuna, sesame seed crusted, with wasabi and ginger, prepared exactly as ordered (somewhere between rare and medium rare). The portions were surprisingly generous and despite coming with hearty appetites, we were able to bring home large portions of our entrees to enjoy the following afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n We would be shirking our duty if we didn\u2019t warn you that the total on the check was as ample as the portions, but we both agreed that the meal and the experience was worth every penny and we would definitely be coming back again. As we walked to our car with full tummy\u2019s and a much lighter wallet, we knew that our first mission was a complete success. We had gone undetected under the cover of Saturday night date night and disappeared into the darkness, until our next adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1375 Deleware Avenue Buffalo, New York www.hutchsrestaurant.com Diners Undercover strikes again!
