Trip Advisor review by Hailey: Japanese - Great Find What a great fine, located in downtown St Catharine. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and could be escorted to table by the robot. Really nice extensive menu. The all you can eat sor us $35 per person. We chose the Ala cart menu. The pad see was really good. Very generous serving. We also ordered the mango chicken, great mango sauce served with a stir fried chicken. Really good! We also had the dynamite rolls. Great service and excellent food. Parking is free after 6Pm in the library parking lot behind the restaurant.

Trip Advisor Review By Rachel: Very, very good food - Variety - A friend and I popped over during lockdown to try the weekend street food! What a great idea to still offer something unique without being able to seat customers. And the food was really good. We had the shaker corn dogs (amazing - good quality hot dog and a substantial breading, and lots of condiments to choose from), and also tried the tteokbokki with sweet potato tempura and dumplings. Even with limitations during lockdown, the food was delicious, hot, and fresh. We had to wait a bit as there was only one person taking orders and making the food. As others have said, it’s a bit on the pricey side for snack food, but it’s Covid and they are local so we weren’t bothered. Anyways...we are excited to try Pharmacii again hopefully when it’s fully open. I think it would be cool to see them join the downtown market or find a location for a pop up food stall/food truck somewhere to add this kind of food to the stuff that always shows up there and is getting a bit old (ie. wood fired pizza and pulled pork sandwiches). The only reason for 4 starts is the prices and the location - driving by it’s hard to really tell what this place even is! I’d give the food on it’s own 5 stars!

Trip Advisor Review: Mexican - Great food, slow service The food was amazing, even my picky eaters liked it. Excellent mole sauce, margarita and churros! Decor was very nice, we felt like we were in Mexico. Unfortunately although the staff were friendly the service was extremely slow. Took 20 minutes for my drink and refills were never offered. After we ate we tried many times to get the staffs' attention but it seemed like if you weren't locals or repeat customers you got ignored. The whole meal took almost 2 hours, way too long with younger children.

Trip Advisor Review by Dani - The food is amazing We went for a date after a show in the city. We didn’t have a reservation and they offered us a spot by the bar. Even though they were accommodating, the service wasn’t the best. They never explained to us the menu, we had to be very proactive to get our order in and when you you get a bar seat you actually get to sit basically in the kitchen … and oh boy that is a busy environment. It was hard to keep a conversation with my partner as we felt in the middle of the hurricane. But regardless the food is delicious and worth trying. We got the gnocchi and the pickerel, both dishes full of flavour. For desert we ordered the creme brûlée that was an extra yummy modern version of it.

Trip Advisor Review by Dani: A must have Oh my doughnuts!! There is nothing like it, it’s simply the best. There is usually a line up outside and you wait for the green light in the front door to come inside. Once inside the sweet smell and the colourful window full of fresh options only increases the excitement. Since was a long weekend we took to go the pina colada, coconut cream, apple fritter, french toast and the classic glazed. All delicious, special and full of flavour. But our all time favorite is pina colada and coconut cream, a must try!

Trip Advisor Review: Century old lighthouses Port Dalhousie Inner Range Lighthouse: For just over a century, Port Dalhousie harbour served as the northern terminus of the first three Welland Canals. These made the town a maritime destination and industrial centre. This is the third lighthouse to be located on this site. The first lighthouse was constructed in 1852, but by 1893 the existing light was considered outdated and a new lighthouse was constructed. At this time the east and west piers are closed due to the reconstruction of both piers due to damage to the bases.

City/town information

Trip Advisor: We won't lie: Niagara Falls is uber-touristy. There are wax museums and a Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, and if it's a fast-food chain, you can probably find it here. But even the most jaded hipster shouldn't pass up a chance to visit this town, because the Falls themselves are spectacular.

Trip Advisor: In Canada's wine country, Niagara-on-the-Lake presents a well-preserved 19th-century village and its charms. Drive or bike through the area, stopping at wineries and Fort George National Historic Site. Ride along the Niagara Escarpment on horseback or book a white-water adventure at nearby Niagara Falls (you might have heard of them).

Take the Go Train for a day trip to the City of Toronto! Trip Advisor: We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theatre, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.
