Just as we're finally getting signs that the thermostat is starting to follow the calendar, news is coming out about a few new eateries that are headed to Buffalo's Waterfront.

One of the great things about living in Buffalo and Western New York in the summer is all the great places there are along Lake Erie and the Niagara River, where you can get good food and great drinks while looking at the water. There are tons of other reasons why living in the 716 is good, but by far being near the water on a nice summer day with an ice cream, hot dog, or a nice glass of wine is especially special.

For folks who will be spending time just outside of downtown Buffalo near Canalside and the Erie Basin Marina, a new treat is in store as a new restaurant concept is taking over the old William K's on Erie Street.

Sully's Chowder House, Sully’s Harbor Bar, Sully’s Grill, and Scarlet’s – Peace, Love & Ice Cream Are Coming to Buffalo's Waterfront

After a bit of strife and bad news, the former Hatch and William K's inside the Erie Basin Marina is now under new management and has a fancy new name,

Sully's Chowder House, which is going to feature seafood and other Buffalo favorites, is going to join Sully’s Harbor Bar, Sully’s Grill, and Scarlet’s – Peace, Love & Ice Cream to give folks plenty of options when they are along Buffalo's Harbor Walk.

According to WKBW-TV, the menu at Sully's will feature live lobsters and lobster rolls, seafood, house-made chowder, beef on weck, wings, and all sorts of other popular foods.

The restaurant, which officially opens on Friday, May 22, looks like it's coming right on time, as there is forecasted to be pretty good weather for Buffalo and Western New York over the next few weeks.

The operator of this venture is no stranger to Buffalo's foodie scene, as Jason Davidson is also linked directly to Liberty Hound at Canalside and The Terrace at Delaware Park.
