Following are some restaurants visited by News restaurant reviewers. New restaurant reviews generally appear the first Sunday of every month in Niagara Weekend.
Sandi’s Family Restaurant lll 2065 River Road, at Williams Road, Wheatfield (283-5257). Wheatfield residents may never see a Land of Oz theme park in their midst but this town staple can be counted on to provide good quality, affordable food. Try the apple pie a la mode French toast and understand—there’s no place like (near) home.
Wine on Third llll 501 Third St., Niagara Falls (285-9463). This upscale spot, with reasonable prices, sticks out in the Falls bar district for it tantalizing food and beverage of choice. Worth the change of Third Street pace. Pyung Taik House lllz 420 Niagara St., Niagara Falls (285-8529). This Korean Restaurant has a limited menu that is a delight to the taste-buds, even when we’re talking about dishes like barbecued eel.
Salisa’s All American Diner ★★★z 2214 Niagara Falls Blvd., Wheatfield, (731-5616). Top-notch sandwiches and daring menu items like stuffed sweet pepper soup underline the notion that sometimes it’s good to be cheap. This place spares the expense.
Lighthouse Grill-n-Spirits lll 5885 E. Main St., Olcott (778-5580). Nestled in a waterfront hamlet near a lighthouse, of course, this spot offers a simple, satisfying menu anytime of year.
China Garden lllz 722 Portage Road, Niagara Falls (282-8100). This Asian restaurant has given a nod to American cuisine, including knocking down the spice that comes with some Chinese food. Jumbo shrimp and steak kew are among the tastier dishes.
Tuscana Ristorante lllz 515 S. Transit Road, Lockport (434-6151). The chef doesn’t skimp on garlic in this Italian-style eating spot, located poolside in the Lockport Holiday Inn. Create-your-own pasta was our reviewer’s recommended menu choice.
Hideaway Grille lllz 399 Division St., North Tonawanda (694-2710). The sweet potatoes alone are worth the search for this indoor/ outdoor establishment, which specializes in ribs and offers nightly specials at a reasonable price.
La Cascata lllz 310 Fourth St., Niagara Falls (877) 873-6322. The service and understated decor in this Italian restaurant in the Seneca Niagara Casino&Hotel will make you feel at home. The food will make you feel like you’re in a fine restaurant. You’ll be glad you ordered dessert.
Sunshine Cafell8649 Buffalo Ave., Niagara Falls (236-0051). This busy restaurant features some nice dishes, such as Shelly’s Eggplant, but it may take a while to get your food.
Chu’s Dining Lounge lll 1019 Main St., Niagara Falls (285-7278). The Chu family swam against the tide by moving this place from the Ontario side of the Falls to the good ol’ USA. Great Chinese food is worth the trip.
