The Oban Inn used to be my favorite place for
before theater dinner. Then it burned down.

Although I haven't been there for a few years I
assume Niagara-on-the-Lake still has the same
restaurant problem. Lot's of pretentious
expensive restaurants but almost no good ones.
(The Stone Road Grill and the Prince of Wales
being exceptions.)

Although quite crowded these days (I started
going there in 1985) it's still a special place.
My biggest regret is that much of the wonderful
fruit has given way to very mediocre wine.
