Thought I would try a travel zoo voucher. They didn't have my reservation, was seated in a crummy table ( although they did move us once something opened up.) The 120 dollar deal ended up being 200. All this for rubber chicken and overcooked salmon. The voucher said to bring your smart phone but they were unable to honor that. I had to search for the email and forward a screen shot after some... more

The 2 arrived without any desert spoons when both of them are served with ice cream. I asked the server for desert spoon and let's just say that I waited until 3 qtr of the ice cream with the pudding were melted away and nothing came. So I had to walk up to the bar and asked for one. Not good.

So we took a U-turn but soon found out it WAS right. Windows is just off the buffet to the left.

Came here twice, both times I dined with my girlfriend and both times we left incredibly happy. I had the salmon and she had the tenderloin followed by a chocolate cake for dessert. The salmon was moist and tenderloin by far the most TENDER of all the loins (that joke was a must!).

Great food, mediocre service
April 10, 2014

The restaurant was accommodating with last minute changes in our reservations. The food was tasty with creative plating that really impressed our guests. My only complaint was the service. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable with the menu but his timing was off with the serving of our drinks. We ordered sparkling wine to follow with a bottle of red wine. He brought both to the table,... more

Unbelievable views! Great service and reasonably priced. We dinned there 2x. Breakfast was great, cook to order omlet bar, crepe's, belgin waffles as well as a whole host of other items.
We also had our company holiday party at the hotel and the catered food was EXCELLENT!

The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. I really enjoyed the mushroom side dish and my trout was well prepared.

The butternut squash soup was too sweet and definitely benefitted from additional... more

Come on a Sunday. It's relatively quiet.

I came here for BRUNCH. So this review is for BRUNCH.

Well, the window seat is worth $ 20. If you're not seating by the window, it can be a waste of money for some families on a budget. There are cheaper breakfast places in the Niagara Area.

Though $ 20 is the average price tag of a breakfast buffet in most hotels.

On the breakfast menu, you'll find... more

This is not your typical stuffy white tablecloth type place, it's an open and airy space on the 13th floor of the Sheraton Niagara Falls.

Jamie Kennedy isn't relying on fine art and designer rugs to impress you, even the tables are sparsely set. The focus is on the Local Foods and Wines. The view of the Falls is used as their ambience, hence the name Windows.
