Excellent experience. We were first at this restaurant on New Year’s Day/2025 and liked the experience so much that we returned. Food was excellent and service top notch. Would highly recommend.

We arrived at 6:15 without reservations. Even though there were tables available we were told we could not be seated because we were walk ins. We sat at the bar but it was so busy we were not being served. Finally I thought of booking and a reservation was available on Open Table for 6:45. I showed the hostess and she asked me to wait at the bar until 6:45 even though there were at least 4 tables open by then. A crazy system to say the least. Once we were seated we had no complaints. Note to diners: you’d better make reservations !!

Special for locals brought us out for the beef dip. Cerebrated grandson’s BD.. Beautiful restaurant and lounge. First time there, won’t be the last. Ruth was attentive and facilitated a toasted gluten free bread with the chef instead of bun. Good food, good value. Lovely venue.

We booked an 11 am reservation for my wife’s birthday. She was excited to have the Lobster Eggs Benedict or Avacado toast mentioned in this week’s Niagara This Week. We arrived on time and waited along with another group. No one to receive us. A gentleman knocked on a door and the waitress came out with her plate of food, still chewing. When we were seated and saw the menu we were surprised that it did not include what was mentioned on line. The waitress said they never serve those items. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. The bacon was fatty and the eggs were undercooked. I scraped off the uncooked whites and ate what I could. My husband ate my bread and bacon. When my husband mentioned the eggs to our server—she thought they were fine. At another table she made mistakes with their order. She forgot their toast and we saw the toast arrive after they ate their meal. When I went to the bathroom, the waitresses were chatting at the bar though one had a full tray of coffee to take to customers. I will definitely not be back.

Nice atmosphere. Comfortable. Delicious winter greens salad and burger. Fries were cold, but if warm-they are hand cute and yummy! Our server was lovely.
