Diner Reviews

"After being seated, we were not acknowledged by the wait staff for at least ten minutes. Eventually our server came around. He was very friendly, quite knowledgeable, but overall he ignored us. Although he was friendly and knowledgeable – he ignored us throughout our meal. We were not asked if we’d like more to drink, we were not offered the dessert menu, and after asking for it twice we were still ignored. We asked another server for our bill as our server was busy attending other diners as we were invisible. Our dissatisfaction was reflected in the size of the tip he received."

"It was my 50th birthday. I have been to the very best restaurants in North America. The ambience was lackluster and the food was average. There was zero recognition of a milestone birthday except for a mention by the server who was fantastic. Other than that it was not that special."

"Great restaurant, with amazing view, food and service. Brilliant vegetarian choices too."

"Restaurant needs to pay attention to any special requests / instructions as part of the booking process."

"I wasn't sure what to expect from The Rainbow Room, but it was as good or even better than I had hoped for. We ordered the specialty menu for Valentines day with the wine selections and it was fabulous. I have done my share of dining at fine restaurants and The Rainbow Room certainly deserves its spot in this category. The service and food was impressive. We found each course to be full of flavour and elegantly satisfying. We booked an early dinner reservation and got a wonderful seat at the window overlooking the falls. I look forward to trying items from their regular menu next time."

"Love this restaurant. The food seems a little pricey but is absolutely worth every penny. Amazing service and amazing location. I visit the Rainbow Room everytime I come to Niagara Falls. Would highly recommend it!"
Dined on 2/16/2014
"I won't comment too much on the food as we were eating a special fixed price Valentine's Day meal, but the view of the falls was nice when they started lighting it up. It was slightly awkward how they placed the tables in that I was facing a lady's back all night and my boyfriend was seated next to me. Make a reservation."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"The special Valentines menu was fantastic! The 5-course meal was not overwhelming as some multi-course meals. Each course was not too much to eat, and delicious. By the end of the meal, we were satisfied and not overwhelmingly full."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We had a great time, but we had to ask to be moved away from the very loud child. Really? Who brings a 1 year old to a Valantine's dinner??"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We went for valentines Dinner, and the food was delicious. The food toom a little longer because of the lamb, but well worth it. Kids menu was also a hit."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"Excellent food, amazing service! The set menu has many vegetarian options which are always greatly appreciated. The staff were very enthusiastic and accomodating with the executive chef taking the time to stop by, discuss the dishes, and suggest possible substitions to the set dishes to provide more gluten free options as well. Overall an amazing experience."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We was late for my reservation, but even after writing us off as 'no-show' they honored the reservation and quickly found us a seat. The food was delicious, and the view was outstanding. The service was extremely polite, and we did not have to wait long for the food to be made. The noise was louder than expected, but the ambience was still wonderful. I would definitely reccomend this location for a special occasion."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"The ambience was perfect. The view spectacular. Only surpased by the service and food with superb wine pairings. I look forward to dining with you again"

"We made reservations for Valentine's Day as two couples. The restaurant was not only easy to access in the Sheraton and Crowne hotels, but the service was superb. Our waiter, Christopher, was polite and answered all of our questions. The hostess even seated us when we arrived fifteen minutes early. We got a beautiful view of the falls from a comfortable booth. The food was the best part, all served exactly as ordered. I had the half chicken with a peach glaze. Everything was plated beautifully and delicious. The appetizers were a perfect portion to share. My fiancé ordered the rack of lamb which was cooked to perfectly to his order. Dessert and cocktails were equally amazing. Definitely suggest this restaurant if you are in the area!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We can not say enough good things about our experience. Phillip was our server and from start to finish it was a wonderful experience. He took our picture, gave us perfect meal suggestions, was very attentive and was very helpful in suggesting an excursion for our next day that worked out beautifully. We have been and will suggest this to anyone that asks and quite a few that don't, as I post frequently on Facebook. We had the scallops and Filet that were cooked perfectly and also enjoyed the wines they were paired with."
Dined on 2/13/2014
"Excellent food- beyond our expectations. We will definately be going again! Great view and very friendly server!"
Dined on 2/10/2014
"I was a bit disappointed, there were four of us, the children's menu was just like any restaurant, I expected it to be a bit fancier. We each order a different meal, we were expecting the dishes to be great... especially for the price.....but everything in Niagara seems a bit over priced when it comes to food, it seemed to be 3 times what you would pay in a normal town. The service was excellent, quick and friendly. The food looked great on the plate but it was ok in flavour, I have had better in normal restaurants.I expected to be wowed by the taste and was not.. I will not be back and would not recommend to others, except for the view which was great, but lets face it, you go to the restaurant for the food."
Dined on 2/2/2014
"The staff were amazing except the main entree took a very long time to arrive. The restaurant was not very busy at the time. Appetizers were great. My main course, truffled halibut, sounded good but was over cooked and served with potato something that looked and tasted like a hockey puck. Not sure why this dish is on the menu. The lamb chops and scallops we're delicious. I guess I ordered the wrong item"
Dined on 1/31/2014
"The rack of lamb is amazing. The scallops were cooked to perfection. The beef tenderloin was delicious. Our server, Lindsay, was so knowledgeable about all the wines and the menu. She could explain how each meal was done and with what accompaniments. She is a real gem at this restaurant. We had a table by the window, with a great view of the fireworks. Management came by more than once to check on us. A truly enjoyable evening!!"

"I went to to the the Rainbow Room with my girlfriend for her birthday and it was an incredible experience. We had a great view, the food was to die for, and the wine selection was great as well. Overall, amazing restaurant."
Dined on 1/25/2014
"One of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. Our waiter Christopher was fantastic. Great view of the falls."
Dined on 1/1/2014
"My fiance and I agree this is likely the best meal and experience we have ever had. We are early to mid 20's - it was a tiny bit on the pricey side but so well worth it that we don't even care. FOOD: Try it yourself. I was worried it would be over priced just because of the view, but its not. In fact, we ate at Windows (in the Sheraton on the falls) the night after and between the two there is no comparison - Rainbow Room was by far a better experience (food and service wise). When I go back, I will eat here again over any restaurant. The view was also incredible. SERVICE: - Out server was named Christopher and he was the best. On top of having great food, the service was excellent topping it off to be an overall great experience."
Dined on 1/2/2014
"Our group of 8 for a birthday party had a wonderful time. The teenage children enjoyed the full menu while the two 10 year olds loved the kids menu. Service was attentive and our waitress worked very hard to accommodate our group needs. The view of Niagara fall was breathtaking especially during the firework show. The food had some unique food pairings and was plated in an interesting manner. And most importantly....the food was delicious."
Dined on 1/3/2014
"Been here several times, never been disappointed. Food, service and atmosphere is excellent. This last time I went with a group of 8 and all were very happy with our experience. We had calamri fritti for an appetizer, so good + surprisingly plentiful. We also had the heirloom tomatoes + fior di latte bruschetta, which was seasoned very well and left me wanting more! Beef tenderloin steak was delicious, halibut was fantastic, pasta was excuisite, and chicken very good. Something for everyone. Will definitely be going there again...hopefully soon :)"
Dined on 12/29/2013
"Server was great, knew his food, gave us his recommendations. He rushed the apps over we asked him to pace it slower. He obliges immediately. Unobtrusive, attentive service. He accidentally tossed my leftovers and when I questioned there whereabouts he ran to the kitchen to order me a small portion to take home with me. Unnecessary but thoughtful and we felt he wanted to make the experience seamless for us. Would really recommend the restaurant overall. Food was pricey but worth it. Wine was reasonably priced so it balanced the food cost. Overall would go back again and recommend to others. Please try to discourage the little kids from visiting, for fine dining we would have appreciated not having the chattering crayon carrying toddlers."
Dined on 12/27/2013
"We really enjoyed the evening. When we first were shown to our table , we weren't sure we like the view. ( Looking over a roof.) We asked if we could have another table with a full view of the falls. They moved us right away with a smile on their face and the view was fantastic. The food was to die for, so I'm sure we will be returning in the near future. Thankyou."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"My wife and I enjoyed a great relaxed meal. The menu is very comprehensive with wine pairing suggestions throughout, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely eat here again, and have already recommended it to our friends."
Dined on 12/13/2013
"We were warmly greeted upon stepping out of the elevator and quickly taken to our table with a wonderful view of the falls. Our server, Lindsay, is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. She clearly knows her wines and helped us pick out exactly what we were looking for, as we did not recognize any of the wines on the menu (not a big choice). The rack of lamb was perfectly cooked medium-rare, as was the beef tenderloin. There must be 5-8 vegetables (not boring peas and green beans) on each plate and they are cooked to perfection. Service was amazing - (eg. she was always there upon seconds of a wine glass needing refilled). We will definitely return next time we are in Niagara Falls."
Dined on 12/13/2013
"My wife and I has a fantastic time, the food was to die for from the Halibut to the Steak, appetiser to dessert, awesome! Can't wait to come back!!"

"My husband and I were celebrating our 16th anniversary and it was our first time at The Rainbow Room. It was the best dining experience of our lives. The atmosphere was amazing, the food was to die for and cooked to perfection, and the wait staff was by far the most attentive and knowledgable I've ever encountered. Thank you so much for helping to make our anniversary unforgettable."

"Only down side was my lobster ravioli was dry on the outside, but everything can't be perfect. The calamari & bean dip was outstanding! The Niagara drinks were delicious as well!"
Dined on 11/16/2013
"My husband and I went to Niagara for a mini honeymoon right after our wedding, and we came to the Rainbow Room for dinner to celebrate. I had a delicious Peach Bellini, and our server brought us amazing rosemary focaccia with red pepper dip. We had a great view of the falls, the restaurant was quiet on a Sunday evening, and the whole experience was really nice and relaxing. Both of our meals were delicious, we loved our server and we would definitely return."
Dined on 11/10/2013
"We celebrated birthday at this restaurant on 9th of November 2013. Food was just average (not bad not delicious). Service was even worse. We were waiting for a long time. They brought us bread not at the beginning but after appetizer. Then 2 times they brought to our table the dish that we didn’t order. (???) . All atmospheres were like in very casual restaurant."
Dined on 11/9/2013
"Our experience could not have been worse. Overpriced and lousy food. TERRIBLE service. We ahd to get the maitre d' after a half hour to order a bottle of wine as no one had come to get a drink order, Wait staff was load and intrusive. When the bille came the wine was charged at $15 more than the lister price on the wine list which I fortunately remembered. The adjustment was made after we were told that the error resulted from a "technology glitch". Hard to believe as the bill showed the exact bottle we had ordered. It was so dark that we had to use the candle on the table to illuminate the menu to make it legible, and later to read the bill and discover the mispriced wine. The four of us will never be back."
Dined on 11/6/2013
"My wife and I just celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary and had dinner at The Rainbow Room by Massimo Capra. We were welcomed with an Anniversary wish by the Hostess...An awesome table by the windows overlooking the Niagara Falls...Great service and attention given by the Waiter...The meal was outstanding!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends."
Dined on 11/2/2013
"The staff was very plesant and made our anniversary a very special experience. The view is amazing and the food delicious. I would recommend it to any couple looking to have a special dinner together."
Dined on 10/30/2013
"My grandmother always told me it was better to leave SOME things to the imagination...sadly, for our meal, it was the flavour. My husband's bruschetta was absolutely flavourless; dry toast, yellow tomato and buffalo mozzarella - each presented a different texture, but all were without flavour. I am happy to say the mushroom bisque I had was fantastic and my husband was thankful for the complimentary rosemary loaf and roasted red pepper dip. Our main courses, however, also left something to be desired. My husband's order of medium rare arrived blue rare. In a restaurant appearing to be at 1/3 of its capacity, we are sad to say that, while a very pleasant man to deal with, our service was very slow. We enjoyed the atmosphere very much."
Dined on 10/27/2013
"I took my husband here for his 50th birthday. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, the service was good, the price was ok for this quality of food, If looking for a good meal I would recommend this restaurant"
