Odyssey Italian Restaurant

In 2022, Ignazio Mulei, who ran this restaurant housed in an old Victorian for a decade with his son, general manager Michele, passed the reins to new owners. But Odyssey has continued to serve its loyal fans, who flock here for the atmosphere as much as the classic fare. Red-checkered tablecloths, fresh flowers in wine […]

Officers Club

Officers Club is a model neighborhood restaurant, one that’s custom-made for Lowry, with a food-drink-ambience formula that fits like a glove. The name – a nod to the neighborhood’s history as Lowry Air Force Base – conjures up a certain experience that distinguishes it from restaurants nearby, with associations of night-on-the-town food and live music, […]

Ogden Theatre

Built in 1917 by the same person who designed the Bluebird Theater, the Ogden Theatre has gone through a few incarnations since then, including being home to vaudeville acts before becoming a movie theater in 1937.

On the outside, the silvered windows are covered with hand-painted advertisements for deli sandwiches, calzones and Sahlen’s hot dogs — the only Buffalo-style […]

Old Spaghetti Factory

In a world where trends dictate the format and content of menus – small plates, kale salads, sliders, etc. – the menu at the Old Spaghetti Factory is reassuringly the same. Though two or three dishes are added with every menu update, which happens twice a year, the core rarely changes. These are dishes that […]

The Old Stone Church Restaurant

Still looking like the beautiful place of worship it once was, the Old Stone Church continues to be a mecca for some kind of reverence or another, whether your particular religion be food or wine. The serene, elegant restaurant offers just the kind of joyous occasion that takes the edge off the stresses of the […]
