Change of ownership and menu very apparent. Went for our anniversary and disappointed in the change. It?s the little things... missing right from check in. No mention about breakfast or checkout time. No welcome, have you been here before or mention ofanniversary which I put on the online registration. Dinner not included this time so we went out. Breakfast was over cookedquiche with no idea what was in it and Canadian bacon slightly warmed. Thought getaway package included dessert sampler, wineand dessert cocktail. We got nothing. No breakfast muffins or danish either. Quite disappointed and I don?t think we?ll be back.The atmosphere is just different with new owners and good that was absolutely amazing before is not good. Grounds in back were amess and not pleasant to look at either. Read more
I come from Ohio to Buffalo once a year for a reunion and usually we stay in a hotel. We heard about the Asa Ransom House last... year when searching for venues for High Tea. We learned it was a B&B and decided to stay. I am so pleased with this experience.We checked in Friday night and stayed for two nights. Bradley was so gracious and thoughtful. We were offered drinking water forour room upon arrival which was much needed after our trip in. The room was absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail in allaspects was impeccable. Our room had a balcony which was a wonderful touch and I found myself sitting outside as much as Icould. The small details were so refined and appropriate including the beautiful drapes, the lotion dispenser and towel warmerin the bathroom. On Saturday we could have breakfast and we had previously reserved a spot for High Tea. The breakfast wasrefined and elegant. The dining room is beautiful. Again, the small touches were impressive. First when being served the serverprovided us a verbal explanation of the food we would be eating. The fresh-baked bran muffin was so tasty. The High Tea servicewas to die for. It may seem costly to someone who isn't familiar with tea service however the price was comparable to what I hadbefore and I felt it was an appropriate price. The amount of food provided was sufficient and everything was so good. Again, wewere given verbal explanation of the high tea service. I had expected the high tea to be served with loose-leaf instead ofbagged tea and at first I was disappointed. However, after sampling the teas provided I found that the brand of bagged tea wasdelicious and of a high quality. After breakfast we had a housekeeper come to check on us and see if we needed anything,including refreshing our linens. We politely declined however she did offer to refresh our water. They provided us our own largeglass bottle of water, and a bucket for ice as well as cups. Sunday we could stay for breakfast a Read more
We went here today for afternoon tea, everything was delicious and the staff was very, very friendly. It doesn?t look like a lot... of food, but it was more than plenty for two of us. Everything is homemade. My favorites were the blueberry scones and theraspberry macaron. The little sandwich with the cucumbers on top was amazing. Beautiful place too! Read more
Went to dinner here last night. The food was amazing. I had alfredo with shrimp, but it was not your standard Alfredo. The Chef... elevated it with spice and it was not a big heavy dish smothered in sauce. The right amount of sauce and the portions were notover whelming and obnoxiously large. We had the chess cake for dessert, beyond amazing. Everything was so good, the staff wasawesome. We would definitely come back for dinner again! Read more
Came here for afternoon tea, obviously need more wait staff, one of our tables didn't receive their hot water for quite awhile,... then we only got one dish of the spreads and one pot of water for 4 people whilst tables of two got the same. I understand weare in the states so that's why American scones are served, but the one round pastry I had to ask what it was as ours was hardand dark and another tables was light and taller. Not a place I would return to for afternoon tea. Read more
What an incredible dinner! The food and experience are top notch. From beginning to end we could not stop talking about the... amazing food we had. Our service was outstanding and it was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy a meal without being rushed. Icould go on and on but I'll just say, do yourself a favor and make your reservation soon . I believe, if they continue on likethis you'll be hard pressed to find a table available anytime soon. Read more
I went for afternoon tea with some friends. The service was great. Very friendly staff. The food was delicious. I found the... desserts to be quite dense and rich. I may have liked a lighter option personally but everything tasted great despite therichness of it. The grounds and the building are very gorgeous and I loved the towels in the bathroom, eco-friendly and fancy. Iwould definitely come back here. Read more
