  Great food and service. Wonton soup was home made and best I ever tasted.
  
  We are from Ohio and enjoyed the view as well!

  Here's the thing... Places with a View.. it's a 50-50 chance the view is stunning but the food is mediocre at best. This place in all honesty could be so much more.. the area is lovely and has a nice view.. but..
  
  When we came in we were not sure if we would seat ourselves or.. we were not really sure? The man at the host desk was kind of in his own world. He wore a Bluetooth ear piece and a fanny pack? Don't get me started. Than when we asked what the plan was to sit he said anyplace. Ok.. fine.. this place when you can sit outside I'm sure is fabulous. This place is confused food wise? Won Ton Soup? Ok that's fine.. but than you have spaghetti and meatballs, Beef Stroganoff? The Beef Sandwich is to have Shaved  Beef nope it was just cut and it was tough. The fries looked like they were fresh cut. I got the Chicken Suvlaki the chicken was grilled in a warm yet stale pita with tzaki sauce, red onions, peppery arugula which was a nice bonus. If you want a soft drink you get a glass, ice and a bottle of soda. Yes... a plus they have Badoit Sparkling Water. Service was ok but I felt watched, it was just odd. The food was ok... this place could be fabulous if they streamline the menu to just pizza, a vegetarian option or two and a few sandwiches/ maybe a burger. It's too all over the place. The vibe is odd, you Walk in the seating is cool and you have this long bar than a cooler for soft clinks/ water it looks like a 7-11. There was this large step and repeat banner for the man who sat us stating if you have his books and see this man he'll sign your books. The area this is by is beautiful and mostly residential.  I'd come back when the weather is better, sit outside maybe get a pizza or a charcuterie board (it's one of the apps) and some wine. So.. the food is ok, service is ok.. but mostly a whatever for me. They have a private lot. Party on

  I've been coming here infrequently for the past twenty years and even worked as a waiter one summer while a student. I've always been a fan of their beef dip and their fish fry is really good. Was disappointed they didn't have Guinness on tap (bottles only) - oh well!

  I was really impressed with the fish and chips.  The fish had crunchy panko and dill coating with flaky white fish inside.  The chips were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.  Usually coleslaw is an afterthought, but this was made from red cabbage with a vinegar based dressing.  I almost wished the portion was smaller since I didn't have room to try the desserts that looked and smelled so good.

  A simple but pleasant place right on the Niagara River. The owner is kind and friendly. The view is beautiful. The pizza was very good, and fresh. If we lived in or near Ft. Erie/Niagara Falls this would be a regular place for us.
