DH told me later he was unsure about a seafood place in a strip mall (it's next to a branch of RBC), but this means there's lots of free and safe parking. Midweek lunch meant no reservation was necessary, even during high tourist season. Just inside the door is a list of the locations of the hundred or so purveyors of their oysters: It's impressive! We opted for small plates and a few side dishes. Everything was so well prepared! My oysters were plump, briny, and attractively plated on ice with lemon slices. A small bucket of jarred sauces rounded out the setting: Hot Jamaican, spicy mustard, Wostershire, and mignonette. On the platter was freshly grated horseradish, which had a five second delay before the heat kicked in! My husband had the lobster roll, which was crammed full of large pieces of lobster! It was the best we've ever had! We'll be back soon! Husb

We walked in after lunch time on a weekday. We took a few minutes to decide what we wanted and ordered at the counter. We then walked to the dining area and waited for our food. There was only one other table with a few people eating. It was not busy at all. The food started arriving shortly. My son ordered a cheeseburger. It was fine, nothing special. I ordered the 2 piece Cod Fish and Chips (sub onion rings), and my sister ordered the Clamp Strips and Fries. We decided to share our meals. The fish had an overwhelming fish flavor and the batter had no flavor. It was definitely not was I was expecting. The clam strips were very tiny and a very small portion. The onion rights were not freshly made, if they were I couldn't tell. Nothing special at all. The best part was the fried pineapple rings. I would order those again in a heartbeat. Service was fine, nothing spectacular, but not bad either. It was an OK meal, nothing I would go out of my way to get. I also think the prices are high since the quality of the food is not the best.

This was one of the highlights. But first- a warning! Be careful how you book a table here. I went through a link on their website and it carried me to a booking site that they no longer use. Tock perhaps? It's been a couple of weeks and I can't recall exactly. But it's better to call the restaurant directly and book through them. Because of this snafu beyond my control, and a late flight into Buffalo, we almost did not get to Dine at Weinkeller, which would have been a huge loss. Thankfully, the hostess was able to work something out and they got us in. We are so glad they did! Everything was so delicious! The Goats cheese was awesome and I can't stop thinking about the amazing Kona rubbed tenderloin! I'm not too shabby in the kitchen myself, but my wife's Cedar plank salmon was perfection- crispy outside ,juicy inside. Also, can we talk about my daughter's Chicken noodle soup? Sooo good! We were purely here on a quick getaway to see the Falls, so I can't imagine myself ever being in this area again. But if I were, I would HAVE to revisit Weinkeller.

Stormin' Crab offers their blue crabs one of two ways: Either added as a side to any boil (topped with your favorite seasonings), or served as a fried crab basket. The oyster appetizer (sold as six or twelve) can be raw or grilled. I adore them raw, and these are Bluepoints! They were plump, glistening, and had a great sweet and briney flavor. My husband's gumbo was thick with rice and andouille sausage, with baby shrimp. It also had a powerful black pepper kick. Very tasty! The boil arrived on a stainless steel platter in a large plastic bag, ballooned out with steam. We had chosen the butter, medium spicy. I thought the saltiness overpowered the flavor of the seafood, but your mileage may vary. Combo C had so much food we took a third of it home! We really enjoyed our meal here!

What a find!!! I almost don't want to leave a review because…read morethis place should really remain a secret !!!!! I lived in Dunkirk for several years, but the changes that they have made to the pier and boardwalk are really unbelievable !!!! Shops & restaurants and this gem!! Let me be very clear in saying that there are maybe three tables inside; this is definitely a grab and go restaurant . However there is a huge patio with many many tables even if they are full, which is doubtful, you could certainly grab a spot on the boardwalk nearby . We happened to have a beautiful night and we have an event to go to at SUNY Fredonia so a friend recommended this place . We waited about 15 minutes to place our order. After ordering we enjoyed our drinks out on the patio while we waited for our food. I opted for an alcoholic beverage while my son had a virgin piña colada. Our number was called maybe 15 minutes later and we were served absolute deliciousness. My son ordered the California, which was a delicious crispy fish sandwich while I opted for an Asian chicken wrap. Our food was absolutely delicious. Served just right. The food temperature was perfect and the portions were ample . The service was wonderful. If I ever come upon a beautiful night again in Dunkirk, I will definitely be visiting this place !!!!

My expectations were mild considering the location. We ordered: Duck wings Pork Belly Beet Salad Shared a 20oz dry-aged "prime" rib eye Lobster Tail Scallops Mashed potatoes Duck Wings - Decent crispness, under seasoned. The sauce was sweet: would have benefitted with more acidity and salt. Use salt. 3/5 Pork belly - Tough and overcooked by about a long weekend. Flavour ok. 2/5 Beet Salad - Best appetizer, but it's just beet salad. 4/5 Ribeye - over cooked. Does not taste dry-aged or like "prime" grade beef. I would consider this close to SCAM territory. 1/5 Lobster Tail - Rubbery, but well seasoned. Edible. 2.5/5 Scallops - 3 x Tiny abductor muscles that did not warrant the $22 price tag. Rubber. Not edible. The waiter would not admit it was cooked from frozen 0/5 Mashed Potato - great. 4/5 The service was attentive and friendly. 4/5 Restaurant looks simple, but has a great view. Smells like a hotel restaurant. The kitchen doesn't know how make the sub-par ingredients into food. This is not a good restaurant.
