  • Now.. I wrote a review that was an honest reflection of our experience at Niagara Street Cafe and it was removed. So I am re posting it and have asked the rest of the dinner party , who all agree with the poor food, to comment or write their own review. If Yelp is to do a service to the Community and help restaurants lean then they cant be biased and all reviews need to be posted. My original review is below. John N. I would rate this lower than 1 Star if i could. It had to be the worst meal we have ever had in Toronto. Perhaps it was the night? We were a party of 7 and arrived at 630 for dinner. Atmosphere... Fine.. small noisy rooms but candles made it alive. Music came on when we were almost done. Appetizer... I had Smelt served with 2 dipping sauces. The smelt was battered and deep fried. Sauces were bland. Thai dipping sauce tasted like M&M bottled stuff. Tasteless, greasy did not finish it. Presentation. A pile of deep fried onion ring looking things with 2 little dipping bowls on the plate. No eye candy here. Mains... Lamb. Now this was the worst Lamb ever. A bowl of stuff. Lamb Shoulder , much fat and tough bits on a bed of something swimming in some kind of tasteless cream and lamb juice swamp. Presentation..very unappealing to the eye. White bowl, a spooned out concoction with no colour and as bland to the optics as it was on the palate. Ate half of it. Hated the rest of it. Served lukewarm at best with one of us sending it back because it was cold. Deep fried Duck Leg was breaded and the waitress said the breading was to die for. Well it almost killed us. Again a tasteless bit of meat with unappealing visuals. Pastrami was smoked far to much and was like eating an old shoe left in the smoker long after Grandpa passed on. Hey look what we found!! Pastrami... It was bloody awful. Side.... Mac and cheese that was supposed to be a bit spicy. Flavourless dish with pasta topped by bacon bits and caramelized onions in it. No cheese flavour at all. Others tasted it and said YUK. Now this was the first restaurant that we have been to as a group that NO ONE commented how good the food was and everyone said it was a no repeat ever. we dine individually and as a group often and frequent good restaurants. Sad to say the Niagara Street Cafe is an awful spot where only the service and the nice wines cant make up for bland tasteless food that seems to go through the deep fryer and arrive awash in greasy tasteless portions. If you want fried food order KFC. It is better. By the way... I forgot to mention they had Toronto Life in that night for a photo shoot. A few model looking types may have been hired to drink tinis and look good in photos. Pictures were taken at their tables where the food was 3 dimensionally presented and looked decent... Steak and fish though. So a staged event? You decide. Cheers.. John
