Our experience for dinner at Liv was just okay. First, I did highly appreciate having gluten free options. The bread and the specially made amuse bouche options were very good. We both had a caprese salad and it was large and tasty. But I had the fillet and my husband had the rib eye and they were just okay. The meat lacked flavour, like it wasn’t aged or seasoned properly. My sides were okay but my husband’s potatoes were really bland. By the end of the meal we didn’t even feel like having desert. It was pretty disappointing for the price.

The service and à la carte food was very good! The buffet not so great and closed at 11 despite the breakfast ending at 12. The waiter and manager were very attentive and did apologize. They did offer to make us food which we declined. Great place buy stay away from the buffet!

LIV Restaurant is great for breakfast, PLAY is debatable. We had the chicken Parm flatbread and although we were excepting a great meal it was comparable to what you would expect at a hockey arena. Very disappointed in the flavour. Service was great at the whole hotel!

Honestly wasn’t impressed at all. Expected way more for the price. The waiter was with some attitude, not very friendly. The food very very average for so much money. Gratin potatoes were raw. Scallops were breaded, u don’t cover scallops in bread crumbs. And what it came with- too sweet. Would not recommend.

The service was not the same between tables. My wife did not receive a small table to put her purse on. Purse was on the floor. Other tables were given tables. Other tables also received amuse bouche to start and small hot towels to wipe their hands. We did not. When we saw other people getting bread we asked our server if we could also have bread after we receive our appetizer, she obliged. We made the restaurant aware it was my wife’s birthday so our server did put a candle in her cake but did not comp the cake. Instead she comped the single glass of wine saying she was sorry about missing the hot towels. We observed various levels of service amongst the patrons. Some people got the full treatment, other people received variations of what is expected from this restaurant.

Very average food considering the high prices. I ordered a vegan dish and had to send it back because it was cold. The second one I received had undercooked potatoes. Very hard to justify the price for what I received. Over $40 for a few vegetables and quinoa. My partner ordered the scallops and felt they were average as well. Service was exceptional, however. But we left quite disappointed as we expected much better food for the price point.

I have been here many times for breakfast and enjoyed myself. This time we brought a couple from out of town business meal and I was less impressed this time. The server did not serve us our coffee and just plopped down a huge coffee jug. I had to pour the coffee for the table and it dripped on the table cloth and my menu. She also brought out a small plate with 4 jams on it which seemed unprofessional which I am used to getting it on my plate. The ketchup and hot sauce was one small dipping dish for 4 adults. When she handed out the smoothies the one was not even places in front of my friend but over to the side where I had to push it over. Has browns undercooked used tot hem being more crispy , turkey sausage was very very dry. Generally I would recommend but the service has gone way down and not likely to recommend

During our vacation in Niagara falls we decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner and after looking over the menu and reading the positive reviews, we were convinced! From the beginning we felt welcomed and all the little attention to details really made the whole meal a positive experience. They were very accommodating for dietary restrictions (vegan) the chef made me a personalized amuse-bouche and there were many dishes brought out before receiving our main meals. I ordered the vibrant vegan plate. The serving was generous and the charred sweet potatoes on a bed of quinoa was delicious. My mom ordered the chicken supreme and she as well was delighted with the flavours. Our server Lola was very knowledgeable about the menu and so kind. She took the time to make sure everything was to our expectations and we really appreciated it. Highly recommend this restaurant!
