Diner Reviews

"The view was spectacular (winter scene); the service was fantastic; the food was awesome and the wine to die for. Kacaba Cab Franc 2007...in fact the wine was so good, we traveled to the winery the next day and picked up some more!"

"For the price you pay to eat here, there should be more variety to the menu. Also, the beer list is quite lacking. Overall though, the food was good and the view was outstanding. It is a bit weird that this is the buffet area in the morning, and it is separated by a cloth divider at night from the dinner buffet, so it doesn't feel quite as special."

"Food and ambience were amazing! The only gripe I have was I was charged $18 each for two glasses of wine which was clearly not the price for the house Cabernet of which I ordered."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"The food was good although slightly overpriced in my opinion. We felt a little rushed- the waitress never asked if we would like drinks before ordering. She was very anxious to get our food order in. It was a set menu for Valentine's and the restaurant was not overly busy at the time. Other than that we found the staff extremely friendly and the food very good."

"Our family of 8 including two children under 12 was great. The service was timely, friendly, and attentive to our needs. Between all of us we tried a sampling of items on the menu and we were all pleased with our choices. Everything was soooo tasty. THe view is spectacular and made it a lovely dining experience."

"Ii was looking for something special, intimate, and classy for Valentines day. This was suggested by a friend and as far as I see this place hit it out of the park. We were limited to a few items because of the special menu but everything was perfect. Food was great, presentation was perfect, wine list extensive although they cater to ontario wines and service was impeccable. I will say though I felt like there was not enough veggies, I have 4 pieces of beans and 2 shaved pieces of carrots. Over all, very nice."

"Set menu at an excellent price. Dishes well plated. Chicken and steak cooked perfectly. Steak could use more seasoning. Excellent wine pairings. Champane package was exquisite. Quiet with a good view of the American Falls from the 14th floor. Definetly will return."

"A fine experience - April Kilpatrick - Dining Room Manager did an outstanding job While a Valentine's Dinner - lots of people it was a great experience"

"Very nice view of the falls, but the portions we very small for the price, wine was overpriced. Should have gone to the buffet."
Dined on 2/8/2014
"Service was good. Food was average. Prices were OK. Restaurant was cold by windows which took away a bit from ambiance. Also, noisy and table were very close to each other. Not the romantic setting I expected."
Dined on 2/7/2014
"Enjoyed a delicious anniversary dinner while overlooking the Falls, all wrapped up in winter ice. The menu is relatively compact yet offers interesting options to suit everyone. The portion sizes are just right - fine dining without leaving hungry! We will definitely pay a return visit."

"From being greeted at the door by the Sommelier-Dining Room Manager (April) to the total experience of the evening it was Spectacular. Our waiter (Terry) was a very pleasant man. The meal right down from the fresh bread to or meals was outstanding. The view was breathtaking!!! At first we were not going to sit by the window as it was -30 outside but when we seen the view we just had too and was so glad we did. It was very comfortable and not cold at all. I would recommended Windows by Jamie Kennedy! We will definitely return. If you are looking for a romantic evening, with an amazing view and fabulous dinning Window by Jamie Kennedy is the place to be!!! ENJOY"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Windows, the service was excellent and the meals were prepared perfectly. The portion sizes are generous for this type of restaurant so when you go make sure you are hungry. The next time we are in Niagara this place will be a priority."

"We booked this winter into the Windows by Jamie Kennedy restaurant as part of the ultimate couples package offered by the Sheraton on the Falls. We had a lovely table by the window for a very nice view overlooking the falls by night. Although I was disappointed that the lobster Bisque was sold out, I had a nice Boston Bibb salad and the special entre which was scallops. My partner had the beet soup and chicken. We both found the food was exceptional and the portions were very good. We very much enjoyed this restaurant and would highly recommend it."

"I have traveled to many restaurants such as Gordon Ramsay's London restaurants and Paul Bocuse in France. I don't consider myself a foodie, but I do love great food. The menu was excellent at Jamie Kennedy's and I was really looking forward to it. When my food arrived, the temperature was actually luke warm. I was expecting hot food. Even my steak felt like it had been left and forgotten. I was expecting the flavor combinations to jump out at me as advertised. No such luck. It tasted like any other steak and I didn't even finish it. I can't even describe what was below the steak, it had no flavor at all. Overall, this restaurant had everything going for it: View, amazing staff and service, excellent wine and wonderful menu. Food was only ok"

"As promised Jamie Kennedy delivered The food was local Great tasting The beet in the Cesar was from the farm of the sous chefs Father. A nice touch and so tasty I asked for more"

"My wife and I had dinner and breakfast at your restaurant. At dinner the Lamb Shank was bland and ( I assume pelenta) was wattery and bland. My wifes portion size on the whitefish was small and again bland. the desert selection was limited and from a taste perspective uninspirig and small for the price The breakfast featured stale choices and watered down OJ, and diluted coffee. The view was fantastice"

"We had a great experience at WIndows. We had a super yummy beet salad and a chicken and duck confit terrine to start, with cocktails. Highly recommend both the Maple Whisky Sour and the Pear cocktail as well, both really well balanced and delicious. For mains, we had the Beef Shortrib, and the Cornish Hen. The shortrib was lovely, but not nearly as vibrant and awesome as the cornish hen. The wine list is very impressive, with a great selection of local and international wines. Since I was driving, we just did by the glass, and had Syrah from Washington and Viognier from Niagara. Not a huge fan of the Viognier, which I found didn't show enough varietal characteristic and was a little too green. To finish, we shared the blueberry cake."

"We wanted to like this restaurant but overall we will not go back. The price isn't what bothered us at all, but rather the food wasn't consistently good. The appetizers weren't very good but the main dish was great. We decided not to take a gamble on the desert and didn't get one. The service was fine, not what you would expect for fine dining. If your dinner is billed to your room, you are not given a copy of the receipt. This is fine, however when checking out from the hotel I noticed the price of the meal was $50.00 than what I signed for. Further investigation found after we closed the bill and left, a $50 bottle of wine was added. Sheraton hotel dealt with this immediately. I will stick to Rainbow Room."

"Great view and good service. The food was ok and seemed to be bland, tried to be high end and strikes out."

"Thank you for a wonderful meal. Our server Terry was exceptional and made us feel very welcome! Thank you Terry for assisting with the wine pairing. Our appetizers (mushroom risotto and scallops) were outstanding. Our mains (Steak frites + pork tenderloin) were prepared perfectly! The ambience was exactly what we were looking for on a romantic evening out for a birthday/holiday celebration. We will definitely return very soon!"

"Excited by the prospect of a night in Niagara at a popular and well talked up restaurant, We left Windows by Jamie Kennedy,disappointed. My Husband's steak was barely warm and very plain. The frites were not something he would normally enjoy with a steak for a fancy meal. Both plates barely had any vegetables on it and my bacon wrapped pork medallions came without a side and was also not very warm. We did not order dessert, we had 3 alcoholic beverages between us and the meal exceeded $150. Even with our $40 coupon it was not worth the money. The waitress was very friendly."
Dined on 12/29/2013
"We chose to dine at Windows based on the view from the Sheraton On The Falls, and I expected that given the excellent view, the restaurant would not need to try hard to fill the seats night after night. We shared a baby spinach and arugula salad and the scallops as appatizers. The salad was excellent, full of flavor and texture, while the scallops were very good and prepared well, but were somewhat dominated by the intense sauce. For entrees, we had the pacific halibut and the peppercorn steak, both of which were prepared beautifully. I'd strongly recommend both. The chefs' grilling of steaks is true to description, I'd recommend checking that your expectation of "rare" or "well done" matches up. I'd strongly recommend!"

"Absolutly fantastic restaurant. Great for special occasions or a nice romantic dinner. Service is as expected, perfect. Only restaurant rated 4 diamond in the falls. Pricy but food was delicious."
Dined on 12/16/2013
"From the food to the service to the view.....all amazing! We started with the bread....two kinds of fresh warm & home-made with salted butter, followed by two appetizers; buttercup soup and fried oysters (my wife and shared them). Main courses were broiled halibut with tomato jam and salmon with a killer sauce. All of the flavours were amazing and worked separtely and together. The food was served at the right time & served hot. Our waiter, Terry, was excellent. He really knew his stuff and will pair anything to a great glass of wine. Of course the view was second to none and should be done at night to get that romantic vibe. Overall...we were completely satisified and will definately be back."
Dined on 12/14/2013
"We have been at this restaurant several times and have always been impressed. Not so this time, our food was not hot even though they took away to reheat it. They came back still cold. Our waitress was very accomadating and helpful in guiding us as to which dessert was good. The problem seemed to lie in the kitchen."

"Great Time, food was excellent, service was outstanding. We celebrated our son's birthday and hd a great meal."
Dined on 11/23/2013
"I had the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin which was very tender and flavourful, my husband had the halibut and he throughly enjoyed it. For dessert I had the blueberry upside down cake and my husband had the flourless chocolate cake, both were excellent."

"We had a lovely evening. We didn't feel rushed, the service was attentive and the food was delicious. We asked for a window table when we made the reservation and received one. The portions were perfect."
Dined on 12/7/2013
"Don't normally complain but find it challenging to say anything positive about this restaurant. Extremely poor service, took 1:15 to get appetizers, dinner made at same time but should not have been. Took another 20 to get mains again, another 15 mins to get bill, and another 15 mins to pay, at which point we signed it to our room with a crayon. Server and Manager were apathetic, did not care that our food was taking long and avoided us to even send apologies. Martini watered down, food well cooked but uninspired for the price and caliber expected. A ruined birthday dinner which did not need to be."
Dined on 11/29/2013
"Found the place a bit on the colder side, a little bit of heating would make the experience better, at least for the women. Needs a vegetarian dinning option as there were none on the menu. Maybe a bigger main entree size. We were still hungry after an appetizer, entre and dessert. Thank you."
Dined on 11/30/2013
"Overall the food is good but the potion was small. The service was good at the beginning, but when we checked out, the waitress just left the bill on the table and went away. We wanted to do separate checks and then our waitress was mad at us that we did not say so before she gave us the bill. But she was not taking care of us most of the time. And it took us about 30 mins to pay because she was so busy cleaning the silverwares and setting up other tables. I am so disappointed about the experience I have this time. The experience I had about one year ago was a lot better than this."
Dined on 11/28/2013
"We had the special appetizer to start - wild mushrooms in a divine sauce served on a homemade biscuit. The Salmon was tasty and the steak cooked just right. Too full for dessert - as the portions were surprisingly generous for a gourmand restaurant.... The bill came to $125 with wine but no dessert.... Loved everything about the place!"
Dined on 11/23/2013
"For hotel food it is above average. Given that it is associated with Jamie Kennedy, we expected a little more. Hotel offers a Jamie Kennedy buffet right beside the restaurant. Found the noise level higher than expected because of the close proximity. FIsh was very salty. Laura (our waitress) explained that it was the finishing salts. Rather it would stand alone with out the finishing salts."
