NEW YEAR'S EVE

.

A Tour of Greece at Vivaldi's

Greek Salad, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, cucumber, creamy Greek dressing, feta cheese and olives. Souvlaki Platter, marinated chicken breast on a skewer, red rice pilaf, more greek salad, tzatziki sauce and grilled pita bread. Moussaka, with bechamel sauce, and Tiropita.  Rice stuffed green pepper and stuffed cabbage leaves with lean ground beef, rice and seasonings, rolled up in a cabbage leaf and cooked in tomato sauce.  Maybe a little too much rice.

SERVICE:  Either the servers are well trained or Vivaldi's has great luck when hiring, we have always had a wonderful sever.  Tonight was no different.

QUALITY:  The moussaka was done well. Some restaurants use spaghetti sauce instead of the bechamel sauce, this is a big no no.  You can be sure that what you eat is fresh and has been prepared with care.

ATMOSPHERE:  We sat in the back portion of the restaurant, it was perfect. Cosy and private and great for just us.   Always clean and beautifully decorated.  Love the new chandelier

VALUE:  You definitely get your moneys worth.   I had enough for lunch the next day at home.  Great taste, quality preparation and great surroundings.

Would I pay a return visit:  I'm looking forward to the next time.

Reversing Falls

Seafood Chowder

SERVICE:  Lovely server, friendly, attentive, and efficient.

QUALITY:  This dish tasted fresh, not a heavy fish flavour. What was heavy was the creamy sauce; too much flour.  I never fail to be disappointed with the meal; it usually taste more like cafeteria food, rushed to be served. 

ATMOSPHERE:  The Falls is a great place to visit for scenery, the view is fascinating.  Sitting, gazing and drifting in and out of imagination.  Everyone has a window.  Whether it is day or evening the atmosphere is always inviting.

VALUE:  I wish the food would equal the view.  The prices are average but the food is only average.  So if you aren't a fussy eater, go and enjoy the surroundings.

Would I pay a return visit:  How many more visits do I pay before I can say "you've got it right".
