We traveled upper New York State for over 8 days. We ranked the food and experiences we had …. including some very high level restaurants and all of us agreed this was the best food and dining experience we had. This is a diamond that many may overlook as it was not in the major area but close enough for us from The Red Coach Inn in Niagara Falls to drive. So thankful we did . Hunter sat us down outside by the river . Service was awesome as Hunter almost read our minds on extra napkins, extra plates, water etc The food was fabulous !!!!! We left there so thankful we drove out there and were t intimidated by the construction crews working in the hotel etc. and had stayed. Highly recommend you put this restaurant on your short list !!!

This is a hotel restaurant, which it advertised by its views but arriving to the restaurant the atmosphere is cold amd the service is at best mediocre. Their dock is full of spiders and low lighting.

The only thing going for this place was the view of the river. The food was horrible quality, no flavor and bland. I had ordered pasta and it tasted like they microwaved the noodles.
