Well the town itself was lovely. The people not so much. The
restaurant was good, the building beautiful. The staff in every store
we shopped in were unpleasant and acted as if it were a huge
imposition to wait on customers. The wait staff at the restaurant were
rude and the food, frankly, not worth the price tag. Most unappealing
of all there were teenagers all over town on skateboards almost mowing
people down. With children we don't do wineries, and we didn't have
time to go to the theater, we only went to the town to do the
ghostwalk and shop.
In Niagara Falls the only time we went to the touristy area was to
look for a place to grab a quick bite before the illuminations. I
never heard of boston pizza and obviously it is beneath you, but our
family had a fun meal there with good food, a friendly wait staff and
a reasonable price. I wouldn't know about the rest of the area, we
just walked through it, so I would not be as familiar as you are with
the cheezy stores there.
