Buffalo is very fortunate to have a world-class orchestra located in a neighborhood filled with incredible architecture including mansions, churches and houses. Kleinhans Music Hall, designed by Eliel and Eero Saarinen, houses the orchestra and proudly sits on The Circle, a magnificent turnabout that redirects cars into surrounding neighborhoods.
Located directly behind Kleinhans is Coda Restaurant, situated in a cozy nook of a house that serves up some really incredible food. What makes Coda so unusual is the fact that the restaurant changes up its food repertoire just about every week. That’s right, the menu is always fresh and interesting. So how does one keep up with an eatery that prides itself on its constantly evolving menu?
Well, they just happen to send an email to their patrons. How cool is that? Every time Coda introduces a new menu, you get an email. Now that’s service.
This week, why not join JoAnn Falletta and the BPO for a concert; From Mozart to Mahler (Saturday, February 04, 2006 at 8:00 PM) and (February 05, 2006 at 2:30 PM). Before the concert join Coda for a bite to eat, and make sure that you leave your email with staff on your way out.
Check out Coda’s current menu that landed in my email box yesterday:
