The food was as always very good. Really appreciate that the mains often come with a selection of fresh vegetables. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Xmas. As it was a very cold winter evening there were not a lot of people there which combined to make a cozier atmosphere. We always eat here when in Niagara on the Lake.

Excellent service and great atmosphere. I had the New York steak and it was very disappointing. Not tender at all and poorly seasoned. The peppercorn sauce wasn’t very good. The seafood linguine and salmon were good according to our friends.

I had a steak and my husband bad ribs- both were delicious! I loved the toasted vegetables and mashed potatoes were also very good. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We had a wonderful experience.
