Absolutely beautiful meal. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, the escargot was tender and delicious, and the creme brulee to die for. The service was outstanding too. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough

We had a party of seven and all were delighted with our dinners. We had 3 firefighters steaks (delicious), a lovely pasta dish and three different delicious salads. The service was wonderful and the prices very reasonable. I was recommended to this place by 2 other couples at my Bed and Breakfast!

The atmosphere was nice as well as the service at the table. The starter and the salad were superb (crabcakes and roasted salad), we had them as take out so the dressing and the sauce were on the side. We really enjoy the dishes. Unfortunately, though, the lamb meat was not fresh, it smelled badly even when cooked, I can imagine the smell was even more noticeable when raw. We would have preferred to be told that they were out of it and chose something else.

Came here for dinner and the food was great as all their ingredients tasted super fresh. Grilled calamari was juicy and tender as was the chicken. Only thing taking away from the chicken was the veggies being a bit too oily. The best dish was the seafood pasta. This dish had plenty of seafood including squid, clam, muscle and shrimp. Also the red sauce had great depth and texture which mixed well with the al dente pasta. Would love to try the other pasta dishes.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly service. Good presentation of food. Some of the entries tasted pretty good according to my friends’ comments. I think it would be better if the batter of the fish were a tad more crispier and the roasted vegetables were less oily.

We stopped into the Old Firehall today for a quick lunch. Service was okay, they started off quick but took a while to clear our plates and get the bill. Food was good overall, came out relatively fast and had some good taste. Prices were average, seemed a little high for what we got (one steak wrap and one chicken hero wrap) almost 50 bucks, but maybe I’m just overthinking. Overall is was a nice spot to try and would suggest you check them out on your next meal adventure.

Oh my goodness, please try the French onion soup! So flavorful. The Mediterranean stir fry was delicious and fresh, a perfect option if your looking for something lighter on the menu. The staff member was friendly and very attentive. Such a lovely spot.

OMG! So good ! Definitely coming back again!

We were in town for several days and visited twice because it was so great. The pasta dishes were great, topped with yummy feta cheese. Its a cool blend of Italian and Mediterranean food. We also enjoyed the Saganaki cheese dish with was a fun flambayed dish. Next time we are in town, we will definitely be back! Vegetarian options: Roasted vegetable pasta

We dropped in on our way back from a winery tour. Its small and quaint and the service was terrific. The entrees were excellent and we both cleaned our plates. There was a small glitch with my pasta...I asked for no olives, but there were olives in it. But easily moved off to the side. The owner said he would treat me to dessert and suggested the creme brulee. Ive had many creme brulees in many different countries....and it was one of the best Ive had...made with real vanilla beans. Thanks for making it a great experience.

I gave 3 stars to the food as my strip loin steak was very tough although it was cooked medium rare, the thoughness was likely due to a cheaper cut of the strip loin. The fry s were home cut and made . Service was great.

After the butterfly conservatory my boyfriend took me here before heading back to London. It was small, great atmosphere with lovely and welcoming staff. My boyfriend had the burger and added cheese and bacon (I stole a bite it was great) along with a locally brewed beer. I had a chicken mushroom sandwich which was also wonderful and fresh. We both ordered fries. Also good. I wish I had asked for more sauce on my sandwich (that is only because I personally always put A TON of sauce on things) and it was really good! The only thing I would have liked is a drink menu with the prices. Together it was two meals, two beers (one on tap) he paid around $70.00 which these days is pretty darn good especially near a heavy tourist area. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Old Firehall.

Food was good, but very less quantity. I ordered grilled Calamari, which was just 1 calamari small size for $$. Salad portion was so small with fish. Shrimp appetizers were also like most 5 pcs. Not sure if its just for that certain day, or if the portions are less for take outs.

March 22, 2024

UPDATE: the next day I called the restaurant. The owner called me back. Apologised profusely and didnt make excuses. And refunded the total cost of the meal. A poor experience at dinner -- but well handled by the owner after the fact. Sunday night @ 730. only one other table in the restaurant. The server took our order (stuffed mushrooms and French onion soup for appetisers, 2 plates of souvlaki for mains). Told the mushrooms were replaced by crab cakes because too many customers, more than 50%, complained about the mushrooms. Cakes were ok. soup decent. 20 minutes after app plates were taken away, server got up from her own meal at the bar to ask if we had room for dessert. Completely forgot to even place our souvlaki order. Then told us the souvlaki order was coming - the chef is working on it. We reminded her there were two and by this point -- considering the chef was just starting on it now -- we have to leave so will take them to go. 5 mins later she brought empty plates and cutlery?? We clarified -- its taken so long we have to leave. Discovered she only placed one order to go but could add a second. We said no, we need to leave. Just the one please. 15 mins later she showed up with a bag and the bill. Full price. More than an hour after we first sat down. Never apologised. Never did anything to fix the situation. Never even bothered to refill a drink. We will not be returning.

Mar2023: I had high hopes for this tiny restaurant based on the reviews, especially the French Onion Soup, which had raves online. My wife and I shared a light meal: French Onion Soup, Calimari, and Roasted Veggie Salad. The Veggie Salad was the standout, a 9/10; tasty and a good sized portion. Wed order this again in a heartbeat. The grilled Calimari was very tasty, but the value wasnt there. For $17 I expected twice the quantity, and unfortunately we wouldnt order it again. The raved-about French Onion Soup was the standout failure; a 3/10 would be generous. Its not my job to figure what went wrong in the kitchen, but I suspect the pot of broth wasnt stirred before being ladled into the bowl. The finished product looked great, but the soup was 75% oil, had very few onions, and tasted awful. We sent it back after a couple of spoonfuls, and it was appropriately taken off the bill. Sadly, we wont be running back to The Old Firehall any time soon. Our first impressions obviously stung.

Our visit to The Old Firehall Restaurant was generally enjoyable. The Mediterranean shrimp and Escargot appetizers were a true delight, both rich in flavor and well-presented. We also had a chance to try local amber beer (though the name of the brewery escapes me now), and it was very good. The Saganaki and French Onion soup, while decent, were a bit oversalted to our taste. The chicken souvlaki, however, was a bit disappointing. It was overdone and dry. The service throughout our visit was excellent, the waitress was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome.

Recommended as a nearby (4km) place for good food from the staff at Queenstons MacKenzie Printery without the crowds associated with dining in NOTL proper. Very good lunch special of fried chicken accompanied by salad, fries and a spicy mayonnaise dressing, crispy and not at all greasy, fries were especially tasty too. Appetizers include flaming Kefalotyri Cheese. A local Blackburn beer available on tap, friendly and efficient service, nice patio area or eat in dining available, we opted to dine al fresco but the 4 corners location at York Rd & Four Mile Creek Rd in St Davids can be noisy periodically (Harley-Davidson is just up the road). Well priced, good food and drink, definitely give this wonderful Mediterranean restaurant a try.

Spoke to the owner about it did not apologize or anything and then when we re done eating, there s four of us he just grabbed our food. I did not ask if you wanna take it home just grabbed it and took it away very ignorant. Of the first time. Also, the owner was training, a new waitress and was yelling at her in front of us very unprofessional would never go back or would ever recommend this restaurant ever.

This place has a great selection of food! At the time I was there, the menu was leaning a little more into Italian style dishes but it also had some greek options too. The food looked and tasted amazing but the place is a bit of a hole in the wall. That being said, the atmosphere was still super nice and felt really authentic. There were a few flies inside that were kind off annoying but the front door kept opening and closing and this year is pretty buggy so I can excuse it. The waiter was super professional and had a sweet charm to him. Will go back again!

Hello, We went to The Old Firehall Restaurant last night. We were So disapointed with Our meal.I had what they called a Angus Burger, it was a frozen paddy you would get from Sobeys. There was No taste to it, infact Harveys would have been way more enjoyable. . We will Never go back to that place ever again. . A Great let down. .The French Onion Soup was tastless, the worst We ever had. .

December 22, 2023

Waited a long time for a simple meal. Ordered Stuffed Mushrooms, they had None. French onion soup was tasteless as if no seasoning. Order of shrimp Mediterranean had only 5 shrimp. The taste was nothing to rave about. The other meal was Angus Burger, fries & gravy. Meat patty was not homemade but from a box. Cooked from frozen. Frozen bagged Fries. Not homemade. Did want Mashed Potatoes instead of Fries. Was told they didnt serve Mashed Potatoes BUT Smashed Potatoes??? So he had to have Fries. Gravy was bland. Very Disappointed!! $ 74 plus $2 charge for using a Debit Card!! We will Never go back.

Local mom/pop shop in the NOTL region offering mediterranean casual dining Ambiance: Looks like what you think it looks like it s got a vintage look to it with the vintage feel. Service: We came in right when they opened so we had VIP service from the get-go, there is a nice lady that works here that served us and was very polite. Food: Saganaki - Kefalotiri Cheese, pan fried, brandy flambé Can t go wrong with fried cheese and bread. (5/5) Greek Hero Wrap Marinated chicken breast. lettuce, tomato, tzatziki, feta, whole wheat tortilla, fries or salad I got this wrap with the greek salad, I love feta and olives so it was perfect for me. The wrap portion is deceivingly stuffed with marinated chicken made fresh, it is dense and heavy, and delicious. Super healthy too. The salad is what you expect of a greek salad. Olives, onion, feta cheese, (5/5) The greek salad was an extra $1.99 but well worth it in my opinion if you love olives and feta. Chicken Mushroom Melt Marinated seasoned chicken breast, mushrooms, balsamic vinegar, mozzarella cheese, baby greens, wasabi dijon aioli, toasted bun, fries or salad We ordered this with the fries, massive portion again (5/5) the pricing is $18-$25 for the lunch menu and we had a coffee to drink. Parking: cozy parking lot, i can see it getting busy though and not being enough parking spaces Overall Great Experience, good food and good service. Nicem om and pop shop

Nice patio, and that s about it. Went with wife and 2 young kids for dinner on a Tuesday night. Showed up at 6:15. Waited 1/2 hour for bread, for which we had to remind the waitress to bring. Shortly thereafter, we got our shrimp appetizer (5 shrimp for $17, and they were rubbery). At 7:25 we got our mains. Wife ordered grilled calamari (also rubbery) and i had angus burger. Waitress did not once come around to ask if we needed drink refills. Was told the there were only 2 cooks, so they were backed up. There wasn t more then 25 people at the restaurant. At least have the courtesy to let a family with young children know that there would be a long wait, or at least be quicker to bring bread.

I dont normally write restaurant reviews but this was an experience Im not going to forget until i tell my story. Positives. Cozy little restaurant with every little themed nicnac you can think of lining the mirrored walls. Hanging empty wine bottles, and other firemen related themes, jerseys, and old world culture items. Greek? Ill say greek. The service was great. The waitress we had was on the ball for everything. If not a little too much at times. Like a vulture circling the table to refill your drinks. Without warning there would be an arm over your shoulder grabbing your glass. Cons was definitely in the food. I ordered a balsamic chicken sandwich with mozzarella. The chicken was dry to a crisp and the balsamic gave it an odd taste. Too little cheese and baby greens. The bread was burnt on top of that. The fries came cold and the ketchup on the table was way past its due date and nearly black. I scraped off the blob i put down in order to get new ketchup. I spent the meal praying i didnt get botchilism from the cross contamination. My wife got a small steak. It was very small, lunch size, but well cooked. She left hungry but you get what you pay for. The rest of my family mostly got a cream based pasta. There was a very literal fight over the salt and pepper grinder because of how bland and unseasoned it was. Everyones pasta needed touching up. I hope this was just an off day. Dont think ill be back to find out if it was. At least grandma was happy and sometimes thats all that matters.

Arrived mid afternoon, maybe 5 tables there total. Waitress appeared stand offish, when asked if we should seat out selves on patio. She said shed return with menus. Waited little over 10 minutes for her to come back out, to wipe down an empty table, no menus in hand, we left. Unfortunate experience

My buddies and I stopped at this place following a round of golf at St. Davids and we were not disappointed. 3 of us ordered the Firefighter Steak and we all walked away saying that it is the single best deal in the region. $18 gets you a 10-12 oz steak, a side of garlic bread, and your choice of fries or salad - we picked the fries - which were perfectly crispy. The steak comes with a generous serving of onions and mushrooms and mine was cooked perfectly rare. For what a meal at McDonalds we received a very high quality meal, which kept us full far into the night. We will be coming back!

Went for lunch. Nice sandwiches, burger, salads and pasta. We a mixed green salad and chicken Parmigiana sandwich with salad. Salads were very fresh. Chicken parm sandwich was good- frozen not freshly made. Ciabatta bun very nice and served hot. Place isnt very night inside, nice size patio. Intersection is very busy. Nice place to eat away form the hustle and bustle. Go to chocolate store down the road.

Excellent ambiance, service, beer selection and food. A local favourite and a great place to spend a summer night in the patio or a cozy night indoors in the fall and winter. Highly recommended for a low-key atmosphere. Great service, friendly and classy servers, amazing mediterranean food, and nice location in the heart of Niagara. Once you smell the food in the air you will know youre in the right place. You will not be disappointed!

We went with friends for dinner tonight. All our us were pretty hungry and our friends asked about side salads to accompany their pasta choices. Our waitress said they would do that and made good sized Greek salad they could share. They enjoyed their meals. My husband ordered the veal Parmesan which had a scorched side that they put on the pasta with that side down and very little cheese. The sauce was runny. He s not impressed. My chicken souvlaki was dry and tough. I could hardly cut it - not tender at all. The portion of veg and rice that accompanied the entree was small. I m not a big eater but I was hungry when I left. We will not return.

Excellent! We dined at the Olde Firehall last night, and there was 14 of us. All of our dinners came out at the same time, served hot, and the food was delicious. After dinner, the server managed to give us all separate cheques, which eliminated an uncomfortable conversation, especially with a big group. We all enjoyed our time at the Olde Firehall, and would eat there again,

Had a family dinner. Food was great besides my daughter s raw chicken Parmesan!!! She told my my husband this is really chewy! He looked and it was raw!! We called waitress she came took it and apologized. Gave her a free salad. We finished eating and had to wait for her meal to be cooked then she ate. I expected more than a salad! The after her meal was ready and we were all done. And had to wait her meal should have been free! Completely raw chicken is not cool!! Parking: Okay parking

Food okay. Service okay. Nice patio. Be aware. None of the serving staff in The Old Firehall Restaurant wear any face covering at all. Not worth the risk. Lots restaurants with good food around the area observe COVID rules. Just cant image a business would still openly defy the rules amidst the 4th wave. Surely hope the restaurant staff would come around and help not spreading the virus. #Food, service, menu, patio, calamari, dining, value clean, veal, grilled, frozen

Actively violating COVID rules. Had to sit outdoors and mask up ourselves as no serving staff were willing to wear masks or distance. On top of that, they were actively discouraging people from wearing masks.

Terrible food.... to the owners response saying I didnt eat there.. how could you even say I didnt eat there? Is it because you didnt get a better review? So your accusing me of lying? I was there with the inlaws for her mothers birthday. The only good food was the breadand the server was nice. We even complained to the server about all the food and all you did was offer a fresh plate when we were already about to leave. We shouldnt have paid for it but we still did. Now that you accused me of lying I will make sure more people know about your restaurant. I had better meals from McDonalds.
