Sat at the bar, really attentive bartenders both days. We had Alicia ( not sure of the spelling). Sean, Ashley, and HALEY! Everyone was so helpful, and friendly, moving a padded chair around to help with my old hips, and tuning into our fave football team. The food was really good. We had garlic toast with cheese and bacon, the best Caesar salad I had the whole week we have been here, the bacon cheeseburger with onion straws, ribs, chicken wings, and the yummy fish and chips ( crusted with salt and vinegar chips!). Loved chatting with all the bar staff,and felt very well taken care of. The food was delicious, the service even better! Thank you all so much for helping to make a fantastic vacation even more enjoyable.

On this trip to Niagara I want to experience great food like everyone else but I can't bear to bring him to a Michelin star place and expect him to like it. Omg thank you niagara on the lake tourist board or FB analytics for sharing me this wonderful teaching restaurant. From Tues-Fri this restaurant is open for a couple hours at lunch to teach students all parts of running a restaurant. Once at your table you can see how the kitchen is going on with cameras there. Presentation is beautiful and the food is divine. Being a teaching restaurant made me feel more comfortable about having the kiddo there. The lunch crowd was mostly retired folks and college staff. The quality of food is epic for $50 Canadian dollars. And you can get a sample local wine flight for $16 Canadian? I loved everything. I do recommend the toffee pudding for dessert. It's a regular dessert item and you can taste the bourbon. Special thanks to Victor the manager/ instructor that went the extra distance to suggest other activities to do/ eat in the neighborhood. Check out the local wine visitor center 50 yards away to taste wine and spirits made at the college!

The chef at this restaurant are from Niagara College and the staffs are also students from the school either doing hospitality or other programs. Having said that, I was going to go to Pellar for dinner, but I wanted to try this restaurant out. The wine and beer were brewed by the Niagara College students. Best part is for $15, you can try sample flights of wine and beer! One of the specials for tonight was the Pan seared Lake Erie Pickerel $27 and the best part was I can add on cod for the side, not just any cod, but Fogo Island cod for $9. I love Fogo Island cod. I am greedy so I end up ordering two different types of fish Amazing!!! The potatoes for the side was nicely done, not too soft or hard and you can taste the skin. Very tasty! My husband loved his dry-aged rib-eye. It was sooo good. For the dessert, the sticky toffee pudding with Salted Pecan Caramel sauce ($9) -Shortbread, Cranberry Orange Vanilla Bean Ice Cream was beautifully presented. So many layers and different texture going on. Beautifully done. I ordered the Chocolate Banana Tart, but I definitely enjoyed my husband's sticky toffee pudding! We got a chance to meet the chef Christian who is a student at the Niagara College, he is full of passion in his cooking and he took pride on what he put on every plate! We will definitely be back to try out other items on the menu. Keep up the good work.

I got the pattypan squash and it was beautiful... like something I would have eaten growing up, but elevated. I was still hungry so I hit the fried avocado sandwich. Scrumptious! Such a fun veggie option!! The drinks were adorable and delicious, too. Overall, love love love. I'd recommend to anyone in the area

The place still has that laid-back, brick-and-mortar charm -- casual, buzzy, and full of character. We grabbed a table this time, which gave us a great view of the room and that steady hum of energy that makes the place feel alive. We kicked things off with the oysters -- super fresh and elevated by their lineup of inventive sauces and the hit of freshly grated horseradish. The bone marrow was rich and silky, the kind of dish that makes you pause and appreciate it. The foie gras was beautifully executed, decadent without being heavy, and the fried chicken was as fantastic as always: crisp, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. Everything felt thoughtful, bold, and distinctly OddBird -- the type of place where you can trust the kitchen to deliver something memorable every time. Overall, another standout meal and absolutely worth the repeat visits. Saluti!

Lots of melted cheese, lettuce, black beans with salsa, jalapenos and sour cream on the side. Round two was spicy Thai chicken bites. A lovely mix of sweet and hot.

The large tray is filled with chips covered in lettuce, black beans, melted cheese, chopped onions and tomatoes. There were small containers of sour cream, jalapeños, and salsa for dipping. Unfortunately after we finished our nachos we found out that even as a happy hour special($10.00), we could have added spicy beef or chicken, making the nacho platter a more complete meal. Our second happy hour appetizer was the crunchy chicken bites. We picked the Spicy Thai sauce. The bites were very crunchy and had a nice sweet heat. There is a promotion going on. If one writes a positive Google review and shows it to the waitress, you can get another appetizer. It's a spinach dip with pita chips. We got it to go. It may not have been a typical meal, but it was filling and delicious.

If staff made it a habit to pick up plates on their way to the kitchen, regardless of whether it was their table, service might be better. Food was ok, eggs were cooked properly.

I'm 50. Anyways. What bugged me the most was 2 things. First the lighting. Half the lights are super bright white bulbs. And the other half are nice mellow yellow. It should all be the same. And preferably yellow. The blue white light hurts the eyes especially in a restaurant setting. Second. The dinning area had music on. The bar had sports on the tv with volume. And the kitchen had music on. It was intense. Pick one. Only one. I left more wound up than when I got there after a long day at work. I'd like to leave a restaurant relaxed and full. Not frustrated. Won't go back unless I'm meeting people.

Tasty drinks complemented our fish and chips. We both had the Bar Fish n chips. Huge chunk of tasty lightly battered cod with a mountain of fries and coleslaw. Delicious. We were presented with home made complementary chips and aioli which made finishing dinner a challenge. Would like to try other items. Good experience.

Quick to be seated with reservations…read more Beer and appetizers came quick. Potato chips and Appy Sampler (4 veggie spring rolls and 4 potstickers) were cold, not even like warm. I felt like it was sitting out for awhile. Appy Sampler came with plum sauce and Thai Chili sauce, which was preferred over the plum sauce. Zen burger was made with black bean, brown rice, and lentil - which was a nice twist to it. I'm not a fan of a plain black bean patty, but the lentil made it stand out. I noted a hint of curry with the lentils. I really appreciated Mireille double checking if I was vegan/vegetarian to ensure the cooking staff didn't cross contaminate. Pressed parm was a classic item. Standard marinara and provolone wrapped in a naan bread, which I thought it interesting. Overall, I'd come back and try the Nilly sandwich and other appetizers, but would really hope for fresh appetizers.
