I wanted to like Niagara Street Cafe, I really did! I brought my dad here who was in town from down south. I choose NSC since I had read such nice reviews of it.
We were seated without a reservation on a Wednesday night. That was nice. We had a window seat, which did not afford an attractive view, but more concerning was how COLD it was. Even with candles and food and wine I spent much of the meal feeling chilly despite my cardigan.
We started off with the calamari taco. It was delicious, but it was a really small portion. Two small tacos, and each one was only 2 small bites. Delicious bites though!
We ordered the 60 day age steak for three people. At $37 each it was the most pricey thing on the menu, but not overwhelmingly so. I have to admit, I was disappointed in it. It was salty, and cold when it arrived at the table. It was very tender, on the plus side, but it sort of felt like a steak salad. A handful of arugula with some sliced steak, with a sprinkle of Parmesan on top. No sides. I surely expected more.
Their dessert was really nice. I ordered the brownie with caramel sauce and bacon brittle. It was deep and rich and delicious.
It's wasn't a horrible meal by any account, but I did find it lacking, which was disappointing. The service was adequate, but I wasn't blown away.
$230 for 3 glasses of wine, one appetizer, the shared main courses, and 3 desserts.
