Grezi offers an exceptional menu featuring New American fare that changes with the seasons. In addition, we also offer craft cocktails and an artfully curated wine selection.

At the helm in the kitchen are Chefs Brendan Wakeham and Jonathan Freer. After training at Le Cordon Bleu, Chef Brendan worked in both culinary and management roles at fine dining restaurants from Boston, MA to Florida. Buffalo native, Chef Jonathan ran the Florida sports bar kitchen prior to making the move to fine dining. Executive Chef Brendan and Executive Sous Chef Jonathan had worked in tandem for the last five years at the top-rated restaurant, Pescado in Rosemary Beach, Florida before the grand opening of Grezi.

Owners and native Buffalonians Greg Wakeham and Joe Freer are entrepreneurs who have spent their careers in the hospitality industry. In 2017, the partners developed Pescado, a fine dining rooftop location with panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and, shortly following, The Courtyard at Pescado which offers light fare in an entertaining piano bar.

Greg left Buffalo in 1979 to pursue an opportunity in Atlanta. Joe joined him in 1989 and together they helped grow Taco Mac, a sports restaurant, into a chain of 32 locations throughout the southeast over the course of 33 years. They went on to open 4 concepts on the Panhandle in Rosemary Beach, FL, including an additional sports bar, sushi restaurant, Pescado and The Courtyard. After selling the Atlanta locations in 2012 and subsequently, the Florida sports bar and sushi locations, they decided it was time to return to their roots.

With numerous successful entities on the resume, they’re happy to bring some of that expertise and acumen back home. Melding the concepts together, Grezi will provide a new option to Buffalo’s dining establishment. The remodeled bar will offer a bright inviting space with several TVs for watching the Bills, the Sabres or whatever game you wish to catch. On weekdays, guests can enjoy an exceptional happy hour and on the weekends we feature live music. Walk up the steps to the refreshed, warm dining room and enjoy your favorites from the delicious menu.

We look forward to hosting you and yours, cheers!
