We recently had the opportunity to check out Antica Pizzeria and we enjoyed it. We had just been at…read moreNiagara Falls for the marathon weekend so it was uncharacteristically busy. There was literally a line out the door for Antica and basically every other restaurant for about 20 or 30 minutes. When we went inside the ambiance was actually pretty nice. It was very Italian with comfortable seating. All the staff were very kind and the meal came out pretty quickly. The pizza was pretty good. It wasn't fantastic but it was pretty good and the garlic bread was fine. I would definitely eat there again but I'm not salivating at saying it's a 5-star review. Overall we enjoyed it and you probably will as well.

We went on a Sunday at 3 pm. It was pretty empty inside. Just one couple at a table wrapping up and…read more4 guys at the bar watching the NFL games. The reason for all this info is to paint a clear picture that it was not busy at all, but our small order of one burger and chicken wings took exactly one hour. There was just one lady working both the bar and the floor. Now, we picked this place because after reviewing all the spots in the area, they seemed to have good-looking wings and decent food. That is all correct. My partner enjoyed her burger so much and I can honestly say these were some of the best wings I've had. They were large in size and had the perfect crispy crunch of skin. I got the salt and pepper seasoning and it was so simple yet so satisfying. Pros: food is really really good for simple dive bar food Cons: per our experience and other reviews it seems 1-hour wait might be the norm here

The moment we walked in, my first thought was, "We should've stayed here!" What a beautiful, cozy…read morelittle inn! The dining area was just as lovely, with such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I do have to say, the service was a bit disorganized. The woman who initially helped us was incredibly nice but seemed a little overwhelmed. I don't think she was actually our server, as she mentioned something about trying to find someone to help us. But she was kind enough to take our order anyway. Our actual server eventually came over, and we explained that we had already placed our order with the other woman. Funny enough, we ended up asking that same first woman for our check because our server was nowhere to be found again. Thankfully, she was lovely throughout the whole experience. Service issues aside, the food was excellent! I ordered the Croque Madame, and it was absolutely fabulous. The eggs were expertly cooked, and everything from the delicious bacon and buttery brioche to the blistered tomato came together beautifully. The only thing I felt it didn't need was the Dijon chipotle aioli. There was already so much flavor going on that it seemed unnecessary. I substituted home fries for my side, and they were crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious. I ate every last one! And that's saying something because I rarely finish all my potatoes unless it's a tiny portion, which this definitely wasn't. My husband ordered the Niagara Country Skillet and had absolutely no complaints. It looked pretty good to me, too! Overall, an excellent meal. Despite the slightly scattered service, the food more than made up for it. Between the charming atmosphere and the delicious breakfast, this was definitely a place I'd happily return to. And next time, maybe we'll actually stay at the inn.

Hostess and all the servers were wonderful. They were able to seat us even though we were still waiting on the other half of our party. We were split between two tables since we were a large group but they put us next to each other. Gratuities were included on the bill at the end of the evening. Dinner menu was pretty decent with lots of meats and seafood to choose from. Drinks are extra. Desserts were yummy! The cold noodle and bibambap were good too. The servers will take your order on their iPad and all the food came really quickly. We didn't have one dedicated server but they were all super, super friendly!

They have a garage door front so you can dine al fresco when the weather is nice. It's cozy inside to match the food. Don't let the small domestic front fool you. There's great authentic flavor inside.

Boyfriend had to help a lady with a stroller get out of there (not a good place to bring your stroller inside!) Still 5-star! Pastry was delicious, and staff is quick and very friendly.

They get served hot. The toppings melt instantly and makes it a disaster to handle and eat. The flavor was pretty good however it's not the best treat to have on a hot humid day. I don't think it's a must have but I'm glad I tried it. They have a variety to choose from and you can make your own ( sorta). Overall a 7.1 out of 10.

When I walked in the walls were filled with pictures of the food and fun art. There was also music videos playing on a TV which was awesome to watch while I waited for my food to be ready. I ordered the Traditional Poutine and the Bacon Cheeseburger poutine. The cashier was so friendly and patient while I asked a few questions. Once it was ready it was HOT and overflowing. The traditional was really good. I personally would've liked less gravy, but I think most people would've loved how much they gave. As for the bacon cheeseburger, I felt like the beef could've been more seasoned, but the bacon and cheese covered fries hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and it was so filling I couldn't even finish it all.

We tried Smoke's Poutine in Toronto a couple years ago. When I was planning our most recent trip…read morethrough the US and Canada, I knew we would be stopping at Smoke's in Niagara. We arrived around 6... ordered a boneless rib poutine and a butter chicken poutine and two diet cokes. My daughter and I weren't super hungry so we decided we would take a couple bites of my sons and husband's poutines and we would be fine. We really liked the butter chicken poutine. We knew we would as we had it in Toronto. We didn't like the boneless rib poutine. The BBQ sauce just wasn't our thing, however, the pickles cut through the richness of the BBQ sauce. The restaurant is small and a little messy but there are a lot of fun things hanging on the walls to look at. Service was fine. One employee was doing a majority of the work.

The dim sum was just okay, but the highlight of the show was definitely the lobster! It was steamed just right--tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The vermicelli noodles underneath were delicious too. I actually thought they were just there for decoration at first, but no, they're definitely edible! The lobster was cleaned so nicely that I didn't even need to use the special pliers to crack the shell further. Service was friendly, and there's also a 5% discount for paying in cash, which is always a nice bonus. Overall, come for the lobster, don't forget to enjoy those delicious garlic-butter-soaked vermicelli noodles underneath!
