we are from out of town and were very confused walking into this old school-like building. when we came in, wow. the service was amazing. our server was so sweet. the kitchen was a little slow but she told us it was just her and the cook here today. my husband and 3 kids and i all agreed we’d wait all day to eat this food again! it was soooooo good and such great quality. you can tell everything here is made with love and nothing rushed. our oldest said “let’s come back here next year” i said to the falls or this restaurant? he said “just for this food!” please come eat here if you’re in town!!! 10/10

1st off, Jo Ann was a great server. Very helpful and informative. This restaurants food is very high quality and innovative. An example; Curry Butternut Squash soup with apple. Delicious. The Big Dipper sandwich was very tender and tasty. The Bread Pudding with a bourbon glaze and whipped cream topping was awesome. I could eat here everyday.

Had the polish quesadilla special and it was just that super special, top notch goodness. Nice little cafe. It took a moment to get my order but it was so worth the wait ( I ordered there and got takeout, only hour lunch, next time I will order ahead of time) once I smelled the food that other guests ordered, I knew I was not going to be disappointed. Hidden gem, I will be back. Customer service was excellent, let me know a couple of times that food is almost ready.

This is exactly the type of eatery that Niagara Falls needs. I had the arancini special yesterday: easily the best I've had outside of Italy. My friend's sammich was completely on-point: layered with flavor and had a great ratio of bread to fillings. Finally, the orange chocolate brownie was unbelievable. I tasted cocoa and orange in equal measure. I can't wait to go again

I had heard good reviews of food. We went at lunchtime. They were very busy with takeout orders. If you are in a hurry, I would suggest placing your order ahead of time. Food was delicious. Soup, sandwiches,dessert. Can't wait to go back. Hard to find, red door, hard to park. Worth all the effort. The cook is a genius with flavors and combinations.
