Sandstone Grillhouse - Niagara Falls

It's always been hard for my husband and I to find a good restaurant in NiagaraUsually they're over-priced and the food is gross.

We had visited last September and this place was on the top of our list to return to this past week while visiting Canada, and we were yet again wowed by

In a sea of tourist attractions and chain restaurants, this place is a nice break The portions are healthy.

We came here for dinner while visiting Niagara. I found the restaurant on TripAdvisor. Maybe my expectations were too high seeing the rave revues. The decor is nice, not what you would consider fine dining, but comfortable. The service was average. We had to ask for water and get his attention more than once just to order drinks and food. My husband had the surf and turf ($70 Cdn) which he did really like. I ordered the seafood trio of lobster, shrimp and scallops ($50 Cdn). The lobster was really good, but the shrimp was small, not at all like the pictures more like something they serve at the read lobster. The scallops were ok. All in all considering the price, service and food quality, we would not come back here again.

My husband and myself came here for dinner for our 16th wedding anniversary. I had the rib eye steak and my husband had the sausage and penne. I was looking forward to the homemade bread that I had read about but it never came. Im not sure if that is a special item that comes with certain meals. My own fault I never asked. I probably should have asked however about the cost to add a lobster tail to my order. The menu says it is market price. It turns out that is $29.00. I was a bit bummed about that but again my own fault. Our starter bruschetta bread was fantastic. Perfectly crisp and the tomatoes were warmed nicely. My steak came out pretty quickly. I was thankful because I was starving! But my husbands order didnt! We waited probably another 7 or 8 minutes for his order. We weren't told what the problem was but figured it out afterward when the bill came. The wrong item had been ordered and so we were waiting for the right one to come up! Just a few minor hiccups but the food was fantastic. My steak cooked perfectly medium rare! Loved the atmosphere too. Previous reviews I had read prior to our visit stated service became slow when large groups were there but our service was excellent and there was a large group the night of our visit!
