Restaurants near Centennial Lilac Garden

It was packed on Friday. The Falls view table was a great place to see the Falls and the sites around town. Unfortunately, there was fog and snow that obscured the view. Our server was kind and as attentive as she could be given the crowd. There was a nice little wine list with some little gems if you’re familiar with the local wines. The rolls were warm and fresh. We ordered sours & turf. The medium rare steaks were medium. The lobster tail was tasty but not served with drawn butter or lemon. The asparagus side was tasty but cooled quickly at the table. A little noisy but the meal was enjoyable.

We have dined here many times and this is the first time our prime rib hasn’t been quite as good, but everything else was excellent. Our section was full, so noisier than usual, but we were still able to talk. Kristen is an absolutely delightful server! Still our favourite place to go!

It was a wonderful evening with great food and service. Jamie was an excellent server and bery knowledgeable. It was a great way to spend our first anniversary.

Very disappointed that the Keg Fallsview (formerly located in the Embassy Suites hotel) was closed on 11/3/2024 in favor of the "upscale" STK Steakhouse (the Keg is relocating nearby to the Hilton sometime in Spring 2025). So, tried the other Keg restaurant in the Courtyard Marriott (about 1.5km/1 mile away from the Embassy Suites), which we knew about but had never visited. We were not disappointed as the menu items with all our favorites were present with the same excellent quality of food and service that we experienced at the Embassy Suites' Keg. We especially like the twice baked potato side (which is increasingly difficult to find on other restaurant menus), garlic cheese bread and french onion soup appetizers and the Billy Miner pie for dessert. An excellent experience even though it is in a bit less convenient location.

We have had many meals here in the past years. Their original Caesar salad with home made croutons were by far the best I had ever had, but as chefs change so do some recipes not always for the better. Still a very good salad, just not great anymore. If you haven't had the veal parmesan yet, it is definitely recommended. The breaded veal is still on the bone and is the size of the plate. We usually make this a meal for two or have enough left over for another complete meal. So many menu items and never disappointed. Great wine list that has something in every price range. Also, Kelly the bartender makes the best Martinis!!
