Tabree To Open
When I stopped in to Tabree (see original post) a couple days ago I found co-owner Bryan Bryndle sitting at the bar going over some recipes and old photos of the space. The interior had totally been reworked and the new layout really did spell out ‘French Bistro’. A day earlier I had bumped into co-owner Tara Tara Dejoseph who was preparing the back patio for the opening. When I asked Bryan when they would be open for business, he answered, “We’re still waiting for The City to issue our permits.”
In the meantime the last minute detail work continues and the heavy lifting has turned into fine-tuning. The bar area and the dining area are both ready to go and a chef has been hired to run the kitchen. “We’re introducing chef Kristina Daley,” Bryan told me. “One of the dishes that she’s going to rock is the Seafood Plateau. It’s a two-tiered platter over crushed ice, decorated with fresh seaweed featuring oysters and clams on a half shell, along with lobster, shrimp and crab cocktail with several dipping sauces. The platter will be served with twice-cooked Yukon Gold frites. All French wines will be served by the glass, and we’ll have new world wines by the bottle.”
The atmosphere at Tabree will be as chill as the crushed ice in the Seafood Plateau. Once the retractable black bistro awning goes up and the permits are secured, fine food and funky music will combine to make for a memorable dining experience. “The music is going to be French club music,” Bryan told me. “Along the lines of down tempo house music.” It was then that Tara came from the kitchen and said, “It’s going to be lounge music.” If you've been looking for a quaint little bistro with cool music and friendly owners, Tabree just may be the place for you.
Tabree is located at 423 Elmwood Avenue

My Favorite Buildings
After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building. This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

My Favorite Buildings
This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …

The bartender from the Pink? I wouldn't have pegged him as the French bistro type. Looks great though. Is Edith Piaf going to be drifting onto Elmwood?

I used to eat at KFC once or twice per week, I'm worried that with all of the competition this will have a ngeagtive impact on KFC's business when they reopen.

Dear buffalostan, You are just days away from those legendary secret herbs and spices! The 'refreshing' of our Elmwood store is progressing well. And don't be the least concerned for our future prospects in Buffalo. As long as there are loyal customers like you, as well as the usual retinue of whores and crackheads with outstanding warrants, we will continue to serve our famous fried chicken now, and for the foreseeable future.
