We had the Italian Veal Dinner, the Spaghetti and Meatballs and Ziti and MeatBalls Entrees. Waitress was really helpful. We also added the plus up option to the house salad - sliced mozzarella cheese rolls. the salads were good. We were disappointed in the Veal, the veal was what appears to be frozen Breaded veal patties, not home made or a fresh pice of veal. the meatballs were fantastic, the sauce was excellent. The pasta was cooked well.

Food and service were both superb. Expertly managed by Dana. We did both lunch and diner and were equally pleased at both. Our luncheon server was Veselena who could not have been more adept or charming. Our dinner waiter was Kurt, and he as well was so pleasant and attentive.All very reasonably priced, expertly prepared and professionally managed. Kudos to the Institute and to all their current protégés.Thank you for your kind review! We are always "in training mode". We are glad you enjoyed your Savor experience and hope to serve you again soon.Best,Dana & the Savor Team

On a relatively quiet Monday evening, my husband and I visited Wine on Third accompanied by our fur-kid. We asked permission to sit outside with our dog and our waiter said "of course." As the evening progressed, he even topped off her water bowl! Eric took good care of us. Our pizzas were fabulous. I really enjoyed the garlic-chicken-spinach white pizza. Thank you for the review! We are always pleased to hear when a customer enjoys their experience with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

This unassuming family place has excellent pizza!! We ordered the 17â pizza that easily serves 3-4 people. We wanted the âItalianoâ with artichoke hearts, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, red bell peppers. Wow! We loved it! Another person got a Greek salad with sliced, grilled chicken. The salad was very large with lots of black olives, feta cheese, and very fresh tomatoes. Another person in our party got a personal pizza with ham and mushrooms. Againâexcellent!Please keep in mind that this little place is not fancy. You use paper plates and plastic utensils. We certainly didnât mind a bit. We went there for the great food!

The Bakery is a very nice local restaurant/lounge that serves above average quality food. It misses out from being exceptional for by poor waitress training, and an archaic POS system. For starter, they serve sourdough bread with these stupid plastic butter containers. I donât know why they donât serve the bread with a small ramekin of some sort of spread. Its cheaper and one can alternate the spreads daily- that s what chefts do! I ordered salad with dressing on the side, it arrived loaded with dressing, which I donât like. I ordered a nightly special, 2- 4oz filets topped with shrimp in a sea food sauce, Since I was sharing it with my wife, I had to order an extra plate, but the waitress brought me a saucer to divide the large platter. The filet was actually quite good and properly cooked, as was the potato but they threw some steamed broccoli, none of which were seasoned. Although we enjoyed the meal, the piece de resistance was when I had to pay. I gave them my debit card and was told to go to the bar to enter my PIN , When at the bar I had to go behind the bar and wait in line for my ticket which took stupid time since there were many other servers also waiting for their payment . Who ever this guy was, he was flooded with orders and too busy to look after ânormalâ business. I cannot recall every going to restaurant where I had to creep behind the bar to pay. This is not the 90âs, its pure cheapness, never mind wireless POS how about a long extension cord so I can work on the bar top?Hello Stuart, Thank you for your review and Three Star Rating.A small plate to share your dinner was not proper.A large plate was brought to your table and used by your wife.

Had lunch here during our Niagara Falls visit. Restaurant is located inside Wyndham Garden hotel. It was a short walk from our hotel, Comfort Inn.The restaurant was quite empty. Maybe early-mid September was already low season for Niagara. The food deserves a bigger crowd. The service was prompt although there was only one person taking care of the guests. We ordered Drunken Pork Cops, Chill 443 Burger and Grilled Fish Tacos. Taste wise this was the best food we experienced in Niagara. Presentation was nice too. Considering the food quality we found the price to be quite reasonable.Overall absolutely recommended.Teertha,Thank you for taking the time in providing feedback regarding your recent experience.

We had the misfortune of being stuck on the Canadian side without a car at our disposal the previous night so I was really looking forward to something more substantial without feeling ripped off. I had the beef on weck while my wife had salad. Beef on weck was pretty big and after a morning walk around the falls I was really happy with what I got. Around the area I would definitely recommend as the other offerings are quite slim and frankly not that appetising.
