I came here expecting a lot more because of the yelp reviews. I think this place was just okay. The reviews may be skewed because there are few good restaurants in the niagara area on the NY side.
The tapas were regular sized but extremely expensive and the sangria was bitter and watered down.
On the plus side, the service was extremely friendly and there doesn't ever seem to be a wait. -

My girlfriend and I took a spontaneous trip to Niagara Falls a while ago and was looking for a restaurant. We were surprised how dead the city was, and the lack of non-commercial restaurants. We walked a around for a while and found this place.
We ordered several small dishes with a couple of glasses of wine and we loved it. The restaurant wasn't busy, but the waiter was nice to give us our space(something that a lot of waiters aren't too good at).
I am mostly recommending this place because in a town that lives off tourism, I think it's important to support the smaller business who make good food. -

The filet mignon was fantastic, the truffle mac and cheese was... mac and cheese. The portions were smaller than I would have liked, but not unusual for this type of place.

The boy and I came here on our saturday night in Niagara..there were few choices of decent restaurant but when I see tapas I get excited! We were very very happy with everything from the atmosphere( very happening) to the great service and yummmy food and even the bill was much lower than we expected! if you have good taste but a boyfriend/girlfriend without a passport then this is ur best bet for a great night out in Niagara Falls.

Boyfriend and I came to Wine on Third on our last night in Niagara Falls, and found that this place is a bright, bright spot in the otherwise dark and dismal dining experience one finds in this city.
We arrived just before 9pm, and were told that we'd be the last to be served dinner, though the bar closes at 11p. They were not ready to seat us, though, and we waited with two glasses of wine at the bar in the back of the first main room. Ten or so minutes later, us and our glasses of wine were directed to the other side of the restaurant, a second room that was just as large as the first one. I'm not entirely sure why we couldn't be seated for ten minutes, though, because there were multiple empty tables over there and no one left before we sat down. Minor things, though.
We were given a tapas/appetizers menu and a separate list of the day's entrees, and were told that a few of the tapas dishes had run out as it was the end of the day. We were also brought some bread with herb-infused oil for dipping. I don't remember which herbs but it was delicious.
We ordered one tapas dish to share, the classic bruschetta, three slices of crusty bread covered in olive oil and tomatoes, which was rather delicious. Un-classically, their bruschetta contained capers and olives, the latter of which I'm not a fan, but it worked really well anyway.
Both of us ordered entrees that are not on their online menu. Boyfriend had chicken, artichokes, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms over linguini in a dill cream sauce. It was incredible. I had a steak and I kept on dipping little pieces of it into his sauce, which was light and dill-flavorful. I love cream dill sauce now, I'm going to make it at home all of the time.
I had a New York strip steak with a loaded baked potato and roasted asparagus in a mushroom sauce. It was DELICIOUS and HUGE. Boyfriend kept saying that my steak wasn't a steak, it was a cow. It was twice the size of any steak I was expecting. The baked potato was even bigger. It was literally the size of both my fists, and it was actually loaded with sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon, and some scallions. Could have used a couple more scallions.
(I'm going to be posting photos of everything, so check that out!)
With the giant size of our entrees, we had absolutely no room for dessert. I'm a little disappointed, because I overheard the waiter telling another table about cheesecake.
My only real complaint (other than wondering why we couldn't be seated immediately) is that the waiter could have been more attentive with refilling the water.
Other than that, AWESOME RESTAURANT. If i ever come back to Niagara Falls, NY I'd definitely eat here again. -

Very good food, very good services, and good prices and generous servings of both beverages and food... Although we went on a night when only the Tapas menu was being served we left full and happy...

I would highly recommend this place. I looked to Yelp to find good food because the area seems less than promising. I loved it. I had a glass of wonderful wine, chorizo empanadas, and lasagna. Everything was perfect and the service was great. Also, the chocolate molten cake was amazing, which surprised me because normally I am not a fan.

This place is a gem in the rough! Really. It's downtown NF and it's totally different than what you would expect! ...especially if you have been in other "bars" downtown.
Hubby and I went in one night for drinks and tapas - we had heard that the plates were tapas-size and not to expect too much. Maybe we heard it toooooo much. We thought that the plates were perfect for a late-night snack/light dinner. I had the greek plate - hummus, olives, artichoke hearts, red pepper strips, olives, pita bread, and feta cheese; hubby got the bruchetta sampler - two pieces with tomatoes and balsamic (sp?) and two more with gorgonzola and honey. We both liked our plates and were able to share with each other.
The wine list here isn't really extensive, I think that there was only one pinot grigo on the list and two cabernets. The quality of the wine, however, is good. We were impressed that we were only paying $8-$10 a glass.
The service here is top-notch as well. We reserved a table on the tapas (read: bar) side of the restaurant, but when we walked in, it was set with cloth napkins, nice wine glasses, and the tapas menu. And even though we went in late (our reservation was for 9pm), we got great service - there was never a time that we needed anything that the server / bartender wasn't right there for us....he even came to the table with the full wine bottle (!) to refill our glasses. It seemed very high class for NF. (sidenote here: reservations are HIGHLY recommended - I think that th ey only had three formal tables on the side of the restaurant that we sat on; but, even though you need to make reservations, we weren't at all out of place coming in wearing jeans!) We had a lot of fun here - we shared two plates, and between the two of us, I think we had 4 glasses of wine and our bill was about $60.
We are looking for a place like this in North OC or LB (in California, where we live) so that we can "experience" it again at home!!!! :) -

This place is quite cozy and the atmosphere was rather nice. They have a large selection of red and white wines. Service was good.
The food is tapas style, though not traditional Spanish tapas. Between two people we ended up ordering 3 small tapas plates and two glasses of wine. The tapas can be described as fusion of all types of food, excellent quality and taste.
If you go get the Grilled Ravioli in Pesto, it was excellent. The scallops wrapped in bacon were on the dinky side, but the flavor was on target, I just wished they used bigger scallops like how the dish should be. The soy-chili beef skewers were a little tough, but still good.
Overall, I would go back. A fair warning it is quite pricey if you really want to get full and make it a dinner. We treated it as more of a "snack" than a meal.
No problems using http://restaurant.com coupons there, again service was good. -

The New york side of Niagra falls is far less developed than the canadian side and had we not been told about this place we might of eaten at the casino. Thankfully we did come here and it was great. Wines by the bottle and also by the glass are reasonable and the waiter knew what he was talking about. We went with about 4 tapas and found it to be plenty of food. Everything we ate was above expectations and in writing this review it has me wishing i lived closer to Niagara falls.

This place is so warm and welcoming!! The main dining room isn't always open, but do not worry, the tapas menu is very satifying. The locals that hang out here make you feel like you walked into a real life "Cheers" and allow you to join in on the fun. The wine menu is affordable and expansive. The bartender Tim is a pleasure. The food was very satifying and unique. Try the lamb lollipops... amazing!! I would skip the flight of greens... it's just a few lettuce greens with mediocre dressing, but salad aside, this place is a perfect 10. Great place to eat at the bar because they set it with a placemat and make you feel at home, but also not as formal as a dining room. I see this as a great option for those dining alone. Liked the atmosphere, liked the food, liked the company. Cheers and good luck to Wine on Third.

OMG!!! my husband and i just ate 6 tapas dishes plus a dessert, while drinking the best sangria, and are now in awe at the most delicious food we ever tasted. everthing was so flavorful, which is why we couldn't help but continue to order more dishes! each one was a feast for our tastebuds. Our server was tremendously attentive, and uncannily friendly. While this place could be snooty b/c it's very chic and has high-class food and feel, it is warm and welcoming and a great place to enjoy close company and excellent food and drink. We had 6 or 7 tapas dishes, and are confident that they are all just as surprising and delicious.
