The buffet is exactly what you expect (except no waffles, just pancakes?) I did avoid the flat eggs, they were just always rubbery and dry. But the omelets were great and the server really awesome attitude. Some dishes were slow to be replenished and sometimes they ran out of bowls for awhile, even when not super busy. The drink glasses can be difficult to get to as well. But you get fruits, yogurts, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, even a salsa bar thing. Good convenient way to fill up if you are already at the hotel. You don't really get a clear falls view with the trees that low, but you still see the river and it's better than 90% of any hotel view you can find for breakfast. It's a toss up on whether room service or buffet is preferable.

Terrapin Buffet for hotel guest by Day Morton's Steakhouse by Night…read more This is the only restaurant in the Marriott Falls View Hotel and Spa. Cost is give or take $40 per person with tax and gratuity. It is buffet only. Best thing was the eggs/omelettes to order, lox and bagels, and toast your own breads, bagels, and pastries. Fruits are limited. Unfortunately they weren't able to keep the buffet filled.

You have to know what you're coming to Basell's for in order to appreciate it. There is nothing…read morefancy about this NF institution. It's a time capsule "greasy spoon" where you get a genuinely good and fresh breakfast, huge portions, for very cheap. Ask any local about Basell's and they'll tell you memories of coming here after the bars closed way back in the day, or just coming for breakfast when they were kids. You can feel the multiple decades of life when you walk in. I love that they've kept the charm and aren't the least bit interested in gentrifying themselves. When you wake up wanting a good diner for breakfast, I'd add Basell's to the list of viable options.

First of all out of our 6 orders, they didn't have 3 of the meals we ordered. One of them they didn't tell us until probably 20 min after our order, it was a constant return to the table "oh we don't have this in the kitchen"... then they brought the wrong meal to my husband and then he had to wait another 20+ min for his food. A club sandwich! How ling does it take to assemble a sandwich!?! We were all done eating when he got the sandwich. My BLT had maybe 2 pieces of bacon on it. It was a huge let down. Honestly the interior wasn't even all that cool.

I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews. We wanted this to be our last breakfast…read morein Niagara Falls but unfortunately we weren't able to eat here. We took an Uber over from our hotel this Friday morning and took a seat at the direction of the waitress. I looked around and noticed that the restaurant was about 75% full but there was literally ONE waitress doing it all. We have a flight to catch this afternoon so we started getting worried that we wouldn't be able to eat. After 25 minutes, we decided to get up and Uber back to our hotel and get IHOP. There was another party who came in after us and were never seated (and they also left). In the waitress' defense, she was completely overwhelmed and should have had at least 1 more waiter/waitress helping her. She was doing the best she could but she's only one person with 2 hands! I hope the owner sees this review.

This place had popped up in my search numerous times, I thought it was about time. I went and…read morechecked it out. Luckily it was just a few minutes from my hotel. Pretty easy to find, the restaurant is located inside the strip mall, so there was plenty of parking available. The outside is a little deceptive, because the inside looks much more elegant. I was one of the first people in in the morning, so coffee was fresh and hot. This place was very reminiscent of a American Diner, and felt very much like home. The lady there went out of her way to make me feel right at home, as if I was having breakfast in someone's house. One thing you should make sure of, is either bring Canadian cash, American cash, or a Canadian debit card. They don't accept credit cards or American debit. The food was great, my eggs were perfectly. The French toast was on point, and the bacon was crispy. Bottom line? Next time I'm in town I will definitely try this place again for breakfast, and might check it out for lunch!

The four of us were seated quickly. We didn't like the locale of the table originally designated but they had no problem allowing a change to a more suitable table. Standard USA diner look and feel. Very welcoming, very friendly, busy and buzzing. Visiting from the States? This feels like home. Best part of the experience here was HILDA our server. Her performance was exemplary. Very polite, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable & attentive. I wish every server performed at her level. She could be a server at a high end establishment, for sure. Seemed to take pride in her work. Thanks, Hilda. I'll also mention that the manager/owner checked on our table as well. Which is always appropriate & appreciated. I usually get more detailed about the food but, honestly, this is pretty much standard diner style fare you can get at any good diner in the USA. Simple food, done well in a friend atmosphere. No bells and whistles, no fireworks. Just good home cooking. Service - 5 Food - solid 3 The 4 star rating is well deserved. If this place was in my hometown, we'd eat here often. Recommended! 4/5

YELP TOP REVIEWER ALERT: Sometimes the best restaurants are the ones hiding in plain sight!…read more Since this was our last day in Niagara Falls, Canada, we wanted to find a nice breakfast restaurant close to our hotel. We were specifically looking for a buffet-style breakfast, and that's when we stumbled upon what I now consider a true hidden gem--the Secret Garden Restaurant! And let me tell you, the name couldn't be more appropriate. We entered the restaurant by walking down some stairs that led directly into the Secret Garden souvenir shop. At first, I thought, "Okay...did we come here for breakfast or shopping?" But the restaurant is actually tucked away in the rear of the souvenir shop. Once we found it, we discovered a very clean, neat, well-organized restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. They even have outdoor seating for those who enjoy eating their breakfast with a little fresh air. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Ms. Marigold, the hostess. She was extremely welcoming and polite and escorted us to our section, where we met our server, Ms. Zoe. Ms. Zoe was an absolute sweetheart--friendly, polite, kind, and always wearing a beautiful smile. She promptly brought us water and coffee and then gave us the menu and plenty of time to decide what we wanted. No rushing us, no "Are you ready yet?" pressure. Just good old-fashioned hospitality. And then came the important part...BREAKFAST! I ordered the Garden Omelet ($21.99) with turkey bacon ($6.99) and wheat toast. We also ordered one egg with Canadian bacon and white toast ($18.99). Now, let's talk about that coffee! The coffee was excellent. The aroma alone brought back memories of my parents sitting together in the morning enjoying their coffee. You know a cup of coffee is good when it doesn't just wake you up--it takes you on a little trip down Memory Lane. The Garden Omelet was well-seasoned, flavorful, and very tasty, and the wheat toast was just as good. Everything came together for a very satisfying breakfast. Our food was brought out by Ms. Ashley, another very sweet young lady with a warm smile. It was obvious that the friendliness we experienced wasn't just a one-person thing--it seemed to be part of the culture of this restaurant. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. Mike, and what a real gentleman he is. You can tell a lot about a restaurant by the way the employees treat their customers, and Mr. Mike has clearly set a wonderful example. His employees seem to follow his leadership and have embraced his warm interpersonal skills and genuine hospitality. By the time we finished breakfast, I found myself thinking, "How in the world did we not know about this place sooner?" If you're visiting Niagara Falls, Canada, and you're looking for a clean, welcoming, friendly place for breakfast, do yourself a favor and look for this little hidden gem. Visit the Secret Garden Restaurant. You won't regret it! My only regret? I wish we had discovered this hidden gem sooner! Sometimes the best discoveries aren't the ones you plan for--they're the ones you accidentally find while walking through a souvenir shop looking for breakfast!

We had a lovely server who was anticipatory of our needs and patient while we took overly-long to order due to being distracted by the views.

Will absolutely revisit.

We thought it was unique that there was a milkshake menu so we ordered the strawberry milkshake. It wasn't quite as large as I expected, but it was super thick and tasty so it was very satisfying. My partner ordered the big break. When the plates appeared in front of us it became clear that big was a very accurate way of describing it. The bacon strips were really big and the sausages were full of flavour! The pancakes were also amazing and another one of the highlights of the meal. I ordered rise of the planet of the eggs. I appreciated the effort put in to using so many puns on the menu! The hollandaise sauce was very flavourful and worked really well with the potatoes. I liked that there was just a moderate amount of cheese and bacon so it wasn't too overwhelming. Despite my best efforts I wasn't able to finish the plate so I was very impressed with the value I got for my money. We'd be happy to return here someday for a chance to try out even more items off the menu!
