Help us Re-Open Emily's Restaurant!

Donation protected
For decades Emily’s Restaurant has been an important part of its own little corner of buffalo at 183 Hertel in Buffalo. Unfortunately (as some of you may already know) Sam has been forced to retire due to health issues, and so Emily’s closed down.

But there is good news…

The Dominguez family has talked to the owners of Emily’s, and they are granting us a wonderful (and amazingly generous) opportunity to pass the restaurant on from their family to ours. We (Rachael and Steven, and our two boys) want to not only reopen Emily’s but use our 30 years in the restaurant industry to continue their long and fantastic tradition of being a cornerstone of the Buffalo restaurant community.

However we do need your help!

We are brand new to Buffalo, and just moved here in June, and we love it! We never imagined we could feel so welcomed to a city and feel so much love from and have such a love for a place. We really want to dive in completely and reopen Emilys to share the warmth, care, and great food people have come to expect from this AMAZING little restaurant.

What we are asking for is some support from our friends and community to help fund the relaunch of a Buffalo institution. Please contribute however much you can, and we plan to re-open those doors by April!
