Bluefire Grille - Amherst

I went to the BlueFire Bar Grille for an easy dinner my first night at the Buffalo Marriott Niagara. It wasn't very busy in the late afternoon, but I didn't mind since I was by myself in a new place. I ordered a side salad and their korean chicken wings. The salad was pretty basic and tasty, what you should expect. The wings though...they were delightfully hot and crispy! The korean sauce was delicious, and they were tossed with the perfect amount of sauce. I would definitely come back to try more of their wing flavors. Plus, I think the number of wings you get is good for the price. The servers were also friendly.

Great service especially for ourblarge group. Food was good as well.

NO LIQUOR LICENSE AT THIS RESTAURANT!So my fiancé and I were looking to do something for our 3 year anniversary. We are college students so we couldn't afford a hotel package at Salvatore's, so we opted for the Marriott and their restaurant instead. We walked to the grill, someone had their small dog (who wouldn't stop yapping) on a leash, IN THE RESTAURANT. This dog was obviously not a service dog and had no place being there. The place was completely empty, and when we asked for a table, one of the many employees standing around asked us to please sit at the bar instead. I insisted on a table. Our server sat us down and I could tell he was very embarrassed. He informed us that he could not serve alcohol tonight because the restaurant had lost their liquor license. This information was not listed anywhere on the Marriotts website or the restaurants website. The server was kind enough to offer us a free soda but we obviously did not stay for the food. While I was on the phone with the marriott making my $200 hotel reservation, I mentioned that their business was a much better deal than Salvatore's. NOT ONCE did the hotel mention they had lost their liquor license. As you can probably imagine, I am very upset by this and I will be giving the hotel itself a 1 star review.

Barry the food and beverage manager was amazing. First off, he drove the shuttle van for Marriott because they needed a driver, so he took time out of his busy schedule at the restaurant to drive the van. He showed up to the airport to pickup a guest and he saw us sitting there waiting on our shuttle with a baby. He asked what hotel we were at and it ended up that our hotel (double tree) was right next to the Marriott that he works at. He waited with us for 25 minutes and then told us to hop in since he didn’t want us waiting with a baby. He dropped us at the double tree and told us to come try out his restaurant at the Marriott across the parking lot and that the first round was on him. We got there for dinner and the unlimited soup and salad bar was amazing, the steaks were phenomenal and we are Nebraskans so steak is our living here. Service was impeccable and the drinks were fantastic. What a hidden gem even for locals. Needless to say, next time I will be staying at the Marriott.

Angela is a AWSOME!! Super friendly and attentive!! I'll be back for sure!!
