Fresh Catch Poke and The Galley Lounge - Restaurant in Buffalo - 305 Franklin St, USA

Fresh Catch was great! We came in from out of town and it's a short walk from the hotel. It's bright and clean and the food was delicious! I thought the prices and quality were great. I ordered the Flaming Tuna and it was exactly what I wanted. The miso soup was cooked hot for us and brought to the table. We also got an acai bowl to-go which was also delicious. Service was wonderful, friendly people who gave us suggestions and smiles. 10/10, definitely would go again.

Once upon a sunny Buffalo afternoon, I decided to revisit one of my favorite lunch spots nestled in the heart of the city. As I stepped through the doors, the familiar warmth of the bustling atmosphere enveloped me, promising yet another delightful dining experience. The restaurant, a hidden gem known for its eclectic mix and affordable luxury, hummed with the chatter of contented diners. The decor was a harmonious blend of modern and rustic elements, creating an ambiance that was both inviting and stylish. Twinkling lights hung from the ceiling, casting a soft glow over the wooden tables. I was greeted by a smiling waitress, her enthusiasm as refreshing as the cool breeze drifting through the open windows. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, guiding my choices with insightful suggestions. I opted for my usual favorites – the flaming tuna, flying salmon, and the steak teriyaki, but couldn't resist adding the lobster rolls, a recent discovery that had quickly become a must-have. As I waited, I couldn't help but admire the bar area. It buzzed with a vibrant energy, a testament to its reputation for serving the best mixed drinks in the city at surprisingly reasonable prices. The bartender, a master at his craft, mixed drinks with an effortless flair, each concoction more intriguing than the last. The food arrived, a visual and aromatic delight. The flaming tuna was a fiery dance of flavors, striking the perfect balance between heat and taste. The flying salmon was a testament to freshness, its delicate flavor enhanced by the lightest of seasonings. The steak teriyaki was tender and flavorful, each bite a savory delight. But the star of the show was the lobster rolls – fresh, succulent lobster nestled in a soft, warm bun, each bite a burst of oceanic bliss. As I savored each dish, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. This restaurant wasn't just about great food; it was about the experience. It was a place where the hustle of the city melted away, leaving behind a space where time slowed down, and the simple joy of a good meal could be fully appreciated. Finishing my meal, I leaned back, content and full. I watched as the staff moved with a seamless efficiency, attending to each customer with a personal touch that made the place feel like home. It was clear why this spot was a favorite among locals – it was a place where quality, comfort, and value met, creating an experience that was both exceptional and wonderfully familiar. As I left, I promised myself to return soon, knowing that no matter how many times I visited, each experience would be as memorable as the last. In the heart of Buffalo, this little lunch spot was not just a restaurant; it was a story, one that I was always eager to revisit.

Food, atmosphere, service 10/10! Lou and Summer provided service that makes you feel right at home! The food was fresh and delicious! The oysters were amazing! Make sure you try the $6 Prosecco on-tap! Amazing environment for a casual yet elevated dinner- great wine and cocktail selections at the bar! Fun and innovative food specials! I could go on forever because the service, ambiance, and food were truly unmatched!

I don’t even know where to start, my family and I LOVE Fresh Catch. We go there for our weekly happy hour and are never, ever disappointed. The drinks and cocktails are creative and delicious, the food is fresh and flavorful (the fresh oysters are our favorite), and the atmosphere is super chill and fun. Our favorite part about Fresh Catch has to be the amazing staff that work there. Summer, Jackie, and Sophie are some of the kindest people I have ever met! They always take time to make sure we are having the best time, especially our son who absolutely loves them all. 15/10 can’t recommend this place enough!

We really liked the atmosphere here! Sat at the bar for lunch yesterday and our bartender was fantastic. Delicious cocktails and friendly conversation; really good service. I had the ahi tuna poke bowl (build your own) and my partner had the lobster roll. Both good, but we were still hungry afterwards since the portions were a bit small so we shared the poke nachos. This was listed as a bar snack but was a large portion! I really liked the edamame on the nachos. I think the tortilla chips were a bit heavy for this and the spiciness of the sauce kind of overwhelmed the tuna, so not sure we would get this again, but we had a good time here and would definitely try some of the other menu items.

Such a good spot for a healthy meal The only remark I have on the food is that the brown rice was a bit overcooked, other than that 👌🏼 They have some daily specials too

Fresh, amazing food and drinks! Very friendly staff! Can't wait to go back.

If it's Saturday I'm usually sitting at the bar drinking proseco on tap and eating anything from oysters Rockefeller to Lobster rolls to clam chowder to poke nachos to a poke bowl, capped off with a rice crispy treat. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious but the staff have become framily. If you want to eat and drink well in an environment where everyone is warmly welcomed, this is the place.
