This is my very first review. I couldn’t let this gem of a restaurant go unnoticed. I ordered the haddock casino which was unbelievable. House salad/ dressing was also very good. Big portions and fair prices. Wish I could take this restaurant back home to Indiana with me. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Excellent! First time at establishment, honestly never heard of. It’s a hidden gem. The food was SO good. The blue cheese dressing was delicious, thick chunky, and pair perfectly with salad. Fried calamari was really good. The broiled seafood platter was cooked perfectly and included haddock, stuffed shrimp, scallops, and clams casino. The stuffing on the shrimp was so unique and yummy. Others in party enjoyed their dishes too. The restaurant is pretty small and filled up fast. Will definitely be back, so good!!

The restaurant is on the small side so our group of 6 were all squeezed around a table best suited for 4. Both of the people who ordered steak were disappointed but enjoyed everything else they ordered. Everyone else was happy with their orders.

Went at dinner hour, place was busy but that shouldn’t be a excuse to not receive our dinner for everyone at our table at the same time. We had 7 people in our party and our food was delivered at different times.

Good service, good selection of food. Very noisy if sitting toward bar side . Hard to have a conversation. Next time will request different area.

The food was amazing! The chicken parmigiana was delicious! Don’t even get me started on the two sides. Hands down the BEST corn I have ever had at a restaurant! Definitely the perfect spot to hit after a nice day at Niagara Falls!

Haven’t been here in 20 years or more. Still very good food with huge portions. A regular dinner you can share with ease. If you get a fish fry I would get 1 per person. Good service with a decent price I will return!

I’ve been wanting to try this place for the past couple of years and I finally did tonight. It was the best meal I’ve had out in a long time. Everything was delicious and they give you large portions. I will definitely be back soon!

I’ve always loved this place! The food is wonderful! Our bartender Dougie fresh was a delight! We met friends we had not seen since November, because they were sick with Covid! We had a wonderful meal, until the woman who appeared to be bussing and setting up tables, asked us if we were all set. Never offered us coffee or dessert, and I said I guess we are. She said “oh great !! Because I really need the table”!!! I just looked at her! It wasn’t like we had been sitting there for hours!!we literally just put our forks Down, and we’re basically asked to leave! After spending $250.00 for an evening with dear friends, I would have enjoyed catching up with Them, before being kicked out!! And I saw at least three other parties come in, that did not have reservations, that were seated. So those are the people that should’ve been asked to leave not us.
