"Yet another good restaurant in Niagara on the Lake. Looks like the competition is working resulting in an all round good dining experience. Good range of prices of wines, including those of the local Ontario variety. Food was served hot and not rushed. Ample time to go to the theatre. Mushroom Veloute was nice and smooth and tasty"

"Beautiful setting for Mother's Day. They made us feel as if it were a very special day. The table settings were beautiful and the table spacing was perfect. The staff were friendly and inviting and very professional. The buffet had a wide variety of choices expecially for the little ones. Unfortuately when one went up to get an item, the food was not replenshied quickly and the labelling of the items were inadequate.
All in all, a very lovely brunch with my mother

"Had Sunday brunch in almost empty restaurant. Food was OK, nothing special. Service was very slow. Quite a disappointment after an outstanding experience at Zee's for dinner the night before. The setting is definitely beautiful, but at the price I expect more and with the service we experienced, I can't say that I'd be in a rush return."
