    Hi-Lite Special

    Seems like the top choice for breakfast in the area--everything was good and the Hi-Lite special was a good deal

    Pretty decent breakfast Lots of locals which is a good sign. Tammy was great! Is in the Queen Street historic district about a block and a half from the wego stop. Taking the green line wego its north of the falls which stops at the Queen Street district. Check them out.

    Good standard breakfast fare. Sausages were extraordinarily smooth. Servers were very attentive and friendly. Super cute diner with old jukeboxes at each booth and retro decor.

    4524 Breakfast Special
    Viviane M.

    Loved the ambience, and had a super sweet waitress who recommended a gorgeous walk back to the touristy side of town by following the river. The food was delicious, and the very large 4524 special was enough for 2 people to have as a whole breakfast and we shared with 2 other family members. I would definitely go back!

    Canada's best cup of coffee!

    Wonderful service and awesome food!! Our server, Nikita, was super friendly and her recommendation of the Notorious BGB Poutine was on par- Not to mention this by far was the best cup of Canadian coffee I've had since visiting your country!!!! Thanks for being so welcoming!!!

    Wonderful location away from the strip. Great breakfast...huge pancakes and delicious sausage. The awesome woman...Stacy was running around (adjacent construction, caused problems to plumbing) was amazing and kept the coffee charged. Definitely come here and eat...the atmosphere and price is right.

    New York steak was a bit over cooked and lacked some seasoning, but for the price it was well worth. About ~$12

It took forever to get (tables who were seated after us got their food before us) and we didn't order anything complicated or unusual. The breakfast potatoes were the best part of my meal. Not bad, just not exceptional.

We were seated after a few minutes at a table in the corner, which had enough room for the four of us. I had settled on the Triple D breakfast, while my husband had settled on the eggs benedict, and my kids the French toast bites and kids egg breakfast. Overall, the food was well-portioned, and cooked well. We could tell that the ingredients were fresh, and that the chef took his/her time to cook the meal, as the eggs were cooked completely through. Considering the prices that we had paid, we were stuffed, and didn't have to eat until later on in the evening. The food did take long though, and we had to wait in-line for a bit to pay for the bill. Service was good, as the waitress came to check on us a few times during our meal. Overall, a great place to start the day!

From the moment you land, you're surrounded by awesome alien and UFO décor that's fun, nostalgic, and packed with personality. If you're looking for a place with zero atmosphere... this isn't it. This place is out of this world. The crew here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, proving that if aliens ever do visit Earth, they're apparently running this restaurant. The food deserves its own five stars. We had the Eggs Benedict, Belgian waffles, perfectly crispy home fries, and the absolutely massive 12-ounce steak and eggs. Every bite was fantastic, the portions were enormous, and the prices were shockingly reasonable for Niagara Falls. One of the coolest touches? Instead of waiting for coffee refills, they leave a whole carafe of hot coffee on your table. My caffeine levels reached escape velocity, and I was perfectly happy about it. Here's the biggest compliment I can give: we came back the very next morning because we couldn't stop thinking about it. Same amazing food, same friendly service, same awesome atmosphere. Whether you're a local, a tourist, or just passing through this corner of the galaxy, make this your first breakfast stop. Trust me--this is one UFO sighting you'll actually want to tell everyone about.

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.

For drinks, my wife and I each grabbed a bottle of Rickard's. They serve it in a frosted glass which is a nice touch, but... the price was pretty wild. Paying around $9-$11 for a bottle/can felt a bit excessive. We started with the Broccoli Cheese Poppers, which we've ordered at other spots before since they're usually vegetarian-friendly (my wife is pescatarian). I thought they were really tasty, but unfortunately my wife had almost finished one before realizing there was bacon inside...and it wasn't listed on the menu. When we asked to confirm, it was pretty disappointing. She was understandably upset, especially since she's been pescatarian for over 10 years. It would've gone a long way if they at least took it off the bill, but they didn't, and that definitely hurt the overall experience. For mains, I ordered JJ's Meatloaf; really solid dish. The mashed potatoes were a highlight, veggies were cooked nicely, and everything had great flavour. Only downside was the bun that came with it got pretty soggy. My wife ordered the Grilled Fish Panini; she liked it, not amazing, but good. The fish was fresh and flaky, and the bread had a nice garlic bread vibe. Overall, it's a decent spot with good food and a nice setting, but the beer prices and the issue with the unlisted bacon definitely took away from the experience.

I loved the unfamiliar, native ingredients and the education that the meal came with. Favorites included just about everything: Lobster, carrot tuile, halibut, hogget, lovage sorbet, apple and quince tart (I don't even like apple tarts/pies), black currant wood ice cream sandwich. Also got the juice pairing and it was perhaps the most interesting juice pairing I've had. Service was practically flawless. The only thing they didn't do was push in my chair when I sat LOL. Stephanie was also a great server. She practically made our night. Loved laughing with her. Overall: Definitely one of the most memorable meals for me and worth the effort of the trip and money for a special occasion.

In my view, Legende, which holds one Michelin star, blows RPM out of the water. Even Alo, which I consider below average for a one-Michelin-star restaurant, was significantly better. The rhubarb juice had a mediocre flavor and was somewhat bitter. 5/10. The snacks were a mixed start. The seasoning and sauce overpowered the Dungeness crab, while the caviar portion was minuscule considering the price point. The crisp had a similarly overpowering flavor that was difficult to identify. The vegetable with focaccia was decent. 5.4/10. The crudité was light and refreshing, with a good balance of herby and creamy sauces. I could identify most ingredients by taste. One mint leaf was bitter, but overall it was like a fruit bowl mixed with a garden salad. 6.4/10. The first cod was dry, salty, and fishy. I didn't enjoy it. The server wouldn't let me explain what I disliked and rushed me into a refire when I would have preferred something else. 3.9/10. The refired cod was a substantial improvement: juicy, flavorful, and not fishy. The sauce was sharp but pleasant and herby. Still not wowed, but much better. 6.4/10. The hen of the woods had a tasty, well-cooked mushroom and an interesting concept. However, the sauce was strangely sour and overpowering, while the dish was excessively oily because of the potato "crisp." Interesting idea, but poorly executed. 4.7/10. Nearly every sauce was excessively wine-forward, and there was noticeable repetition of flavors, particularly mint and wine reductions. The halibut in butter sauce was my favorite dish. None of the pepper came through, the wine sauce was overpowering, and the dish was overly salty. However, the halibut was cooked beautifully and wonderfully buttery. 6.8/10. The savory egg custard was far too sweet, with reduced wine dominating the dish. The texture was silky and the egg flavor fresh, but it was overwhelmed. The chives lacked brightness. 3.7/10. The grilled lobster with lobster bisque, tomato, and zucchini left me struggling to understand what the vegetables contributed. The bisque was decent and the lobster had pleasant flavor, but it was horribly overcooked and tough. 5.6/10. The guinea hen was inconsistent. Half was tender and moist, while a substantial portion was chewy and somewhat gamey. I liked the gaminess but not the chewiness. The carrot, nectarine, and clean jus worked well. 6.6/10. The blueberry juice was light, clean, and refreshing. 6.7/10. The pork loin and sausage dish was decent but unremarkable. The loin was overcooked and tough, while the sausage was dry. The sauces were decent but not memorable. The beets contributed little, and I wanted more fennel. 5.6/10. The PEI cheddar and RPM honey course was a good combination, but the cheddar was too fatty and rich to eat alone. I needed bread or a cracker for balance. More honey or thinner slices of cheddar would have helped. 6/10. The cantaloupe sorbet with sabayon was bland, boring, and lacking sweetness and flavor. 4.3/10. The raspberry and roasted thyme mille-feuille was extremely disappointing. The raspberry cream was tart, while the raspberries were almost inedibly tart. The pastry was flaky but greasy. I couldn't finish it. 3.1/10. The frozen strawberry was the best dessert: light, with great texture and pleasant strawberry flavor. I would have liked more floral notes from the blossoms and some chocolate for richness. 6.7/10. The miso and whiskey madeleines had a strange, spongy texture. I didn't love the flavor and gave up after two bites. They also arrived after I was told the strawberry dessert would be the "last bite." 3.5/10. Beyond the food, the glasses in the middle of the limited dining room created constant clanking. The extremely loud music gave me a headache and made servers difficult to hear. The time between courses was also quite long. They also didn't answer when I called early to ask if I could come in and wait. Also, the condition and cleanliness of the bathroom were shockingly bad. The dim flickering cheap lights also contributed to my headache. I was told the halibut was line-caught on the Atlantic coast, but later heard another server say it was from the West Coast. Which is it? I also don't understand the obsession with locality. Excluding vanilla or chocolate unnecessarily limits the pastry chef, yet the rules are broken with coastal fish, coffee, and tea. Why impose arbitrary restrictions when a simple local focus would suffice? The ethos should be delicious and elevated food. Overall, repetitive flavors, especially mint and wine reductions, and sauces that overwhelmed dishes were major issues. There were decent dishes and interesting ideas, but too many were poorly executed. Nothing was above a 7/10, and most dishes were below average in flavor--difficult to reconcile with the price point and accolades.
