    Review: A Perfect Romantic Evening at Prime Steakhouse, Niagara Falls I recently had the pleasure of dining at Prime Steakhouse in Niagara Falls, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the tone for a romantic evening. The restaurant’s elegant decor and floor-to-ceiling windows provided breathtaking views of the falls, which were beautifully illuminated as night fell. The highlight of the evening was the fireworks display over the falls, perfectly timed to enhance our dinner. Watching the colorful explosions light up the sky while enjoying a sumptuous meal was nothing short of magical. The food was exceptional. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also shared a side of loaded potatoes and esparagus both of which complemented the meal perfectly. For dessert, the molten chocolate cake was a decadent finale to an unforgettable birthday evening. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself and a loved one to a romantic evening, Prime Steakhouse is the perfect choice. The combination of gourmet cuisine, stunning views, and the fireworks over Niagara Falls made it one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life. Highly recommended!

    Had a wonderful dinner experience at Milestones, from the initial greeting of the host and sound advice of our server, to the tasty dinner that followed. Thoroughly enjoyed the Empress Cosmo & Tokyo Negroni before dinner. Food was hot and well presented - Shrimp & Scallop Scampi, Chili Lime Cod & Tuscan Gnocchi did not disappoint. We will definitely be back!
