    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.

    Both dinner and appetizer was not hot when served. Dinner was redone, resulting in partner almost finishing before my meal was redone. Meal lacked flavour Waitress offered desert to make up for inconvenience, which was lovely, but we will not be returning.
