This past Sunday, Mother's Day, we went to dinner at Carmine's in Williamsville. We had a gift card so this was a good opportunity to use it. I'll have to admit that Mother's Day is not the best day to go out to eat. The restaurant was very busy and the service was rather slow. But the food was great, so it was worth the wait.
They had a special Mother's Day menu with only limited selections. I had the seafood pasta, my husband and one of my sons had the chicken parmesan (I had my son's leftovers for lunch the next day!) My other two sons had the spaghetti and meat ball (a really big meat ball, I might add) and my daughter had the turkey dinner. My husband and I split a bottle of Salmon Run Riesling (I always like to order NYS Wine and this one was a Finger Lakes wine) All in all it was a good meal, but we will have to check them out some other time, when they have the full menu available and they aren't so busy.
The also do catering, so I will have to keep them in mind for my next big party.

I had a business lunch this past week at JoJo Bistro and Wine Bar in Williamsville. It has a really unique looking bar; the walls are of rough stone and then covered with glass and shelves of wine are attached to it.
The menu which is French inspired had a selection of salads, I was tempted to get the California Cobb, but ultimately went with a tomato sandwich, two hefty slabs of whole grain bread stuffed with tomato, romaine, avocado and brie. It was accompanied with what seemed to be homemade potato chips. Very yummy and filling. One of my dining companions also had the tomato sandwich and the other had the margherita wood-fired pizza, which was topped with fresh basil, mozzarella and tomato sauce. I'll have to go back some other time to check out the dinner menu and the wines.
