Italian Dinner at Ponte Vecchio

Located at 6380 Fallsview Blvd in Niagara Falls

Last month, my mom and I had dinner at this fancy schmacy Italian restaurant, Ponte Vecchio, which is located in Niagara Falls in the Fallsview Casino.  The atmosphere was romantic and the light fixtures were so pretty that I just had to take pictures of it.  Our server was so genuine and accommodating all night that I really do have to commend her services.   Continue reading

Partial SMC Reunion at Beerbistro

Located at 18 King Street East in Toronto

Beerbistro is a popular place to hang out for food and drinks, and especially for beer given their name.  My friends and I have tried on two occasions to make a dinner get-together here but failed for it to go through because Beerbistro has a strict policy on leaving a $600 deposit for parties over 8.  Hopefully you read this review, Beerbistro , because based on that reservation policy alone, you’ve lost out on two potential groups of customers.  Continue reading
