Oh look, an angry patron posting a negative review of an overpriced establishment in Tourist County, Niagara Falls. What are the odds?
Yeah yeah, I know, but normally I don't get too fazed by the overpriced ridiculousness of Niagara, but this place was an exception.
First of all, it's mind-blowingly impossible to park anywhere near this place without having to pay for Casino parking. Maybe I just didn't see it, but at the time, the lots were closed, and I did a double-lap around the place to see if there was somewhere to park, but in the end, went back to our hotel parking lot and walked. Oh well.
Our server was nice enough, but that was as far as it went, staff-wise. Several times during our stay, some server was making a total jackass of himself in the kitchen (very close to where we were seated), not only berating other employees for apparent mistakes, but was screaming it and annoying the customers. At one point a coworker disagreed with one of his accusations, and not able to see it, clearly heard him get all up in the guy's grill and start shouting, and several others had to tell the asshole to chill out, because it sounded like a fight almost broke out. Completely unprofessional!
Now, as I said, I'm no stranger to overpriced food in the Falls, but this was extreme. Our 2 breakfasts came to over $50, and I had only ordered an omelette with pancakes, and my girlfriend got some potato pancakes. What the hell? And I could understand if the portions were huge, but my omelette was about half the size of one you'd get from Eggsmart or Cora, and didn't taste all that special either. My gal was pleased with the potatocakes, but not worth the high cost.
I doubt I'll be back. -

I only gave this is 1 star because it wouldn't let me select zero. To start out, the prices were far beyond the quality of the food, although to be fair, everywhere on the Canadian side of the falls is overpriced. So my girlfriend and i were cold and had been walking for awhile, and decided to stop in. I had been to Perkins in upstate NY before so i thought I knew what to expect. This honestly was one of the worst meals of my life. I had the french dip. The au jus sauce was so bad it tasted so metallic that i was certain it just came from an old metal storage container/canister. On to the beef and sandwich. The roast beef was so rubbery it squeaked between my teeth. It literally felt like i was chewing on a piece of rubber which had first been voided of any flavor. My girlfriends meal was just as bad. The eggs looked and tasted like they had been microwaved. If you are looking for a place on the Canadian Side of the falls to take $60 from you and bring you food that even a dog would shy away from, this is the place for you!
