Eckl's@Larkin

Easily the most luxurious dining experience in Larkinville — in all of South Buffalo, actually — can be found at the branch location of Eckl's restaurant in the Larkin Center of Commerce. The original Eckl's in Orchard Park lays a somewhat dubious alternative claim to have invented the beef on weck, and for those not in the mood to splurge, it's available here in the form of sandwiches as well as "prime rib-n-weck egg rolls", an interesting bit of fusion that's one of the most popular features on the menu. But the lion's share of the menu follows the classic upscale steaks/chops/seafood template fairly closely, with end results that, while not outright bad, don't really justify the prices. But service is impeccable and the Art Deco-inspired ambience is as posh as it comes, so if money is no object, stop in.
