    I think they were a little understaffed. The fish was extremely overcooked. Server did his best to make things enjoyable. They need some help in the kitchen.

    We enjoyed a lovely Valentine’s dinner at the Waterfront Restaurant. The halibut and pasta dish was fantastic. The jazz singer Juliet Dunn was amazing. Service was a bit slow, however it was Valentine’s Day. Thank-you for a lovely evening.

    Always a winning choice in Niagara on the Lake. We enjoy dinner there every time we come. We hear that it’s also a good choice for breakfast.
