Lin Joyce

Excellent service. Excellent food. Highly recommend this restaurant. They will go the extra mile for their customers. Chef even made a dish not on the menu for a child at our table. Lovely atmosphere. Very clean. Very friendly. A definite "must visit" whenever you are in Fort Erie. Find it on Jarvis Street!

First time visit to Old Bank Bistro in Fort Erie to have lunch with my wife and son. My first awareness of this bistro was based on 10 min of a Cogeco cable show investigating a ghost (Richard Baxter) alleged to be there from a number of years ago. It was raining heavily. As we entered the bar portion was dark but we were drawn to a closed patio between the 2 buildings owned by this business. The patio had wonderful lighting due to skylights in roof, fresh temperate air circulated through the patio and preservation of brick and stone in walls and floor lent character to the experience. The food was excellent - adequate portions with pleasing presentation - great quality. Prices were very reasonable and represented good value. We loved the whole experience and even more so with the sharing of the history of the place by the owner as we exited. We will be going back many times! It was a treat!

RUDE RUDE RUDE Need to learn how to answer the phone - I asked for someone whom I thought was the manager and the guy who answered was beyond RUDE Now a days is NOT the time to present your establishment that way

Food was good, prices well within reason and very friendly service

Worst place ever. We were seated, and then waited 20 mins without drinks or even a hello from the waiter. When I said excuse me 3 times, he turned and said he'd be right with us. We were there for 30 mins and never even got a water while we watched all other tables be waited on from start to finish. I would recommend not wasting your time. We walked out hangry and will never return.

Chelsey Brianne

This was mine and my boyfriends first time trying this restaurant and honestly I was blown away by how good the food was. We did the date night dinner wine special for take out. Fresh salad and 2 pasta dishes of our choice which they have something for everybody. I got the Tuscan Chicken with Gluten free pasta and the texture and sauce was so delicious!! My bf tried the Shrimp Diavolo he said next time he’d take out the banana peppers because that’s what took over most of the flavour but all in all we were happy 10/10

Sue London

My favourite Fort Erie restaurant. Staff are wonderful, food is great, and atmosphere is relaxing. We love eating in the covered alleyway where all the nice paintings are.

Kevin S

Figured we would try something different. My wife, very pregnant at the time, and I went for lunch. We stood at the "please wait to be seated" podium for 20 minutes while a waitress walked by and saw us on 3 occasions. And ignored us. We left. I sent an email to the owner to inform them after we left and never received a response. That says a lot of their customer service. Will never go back here and will make sure to tell everyone my experience.

Steak was cooked to perfection, ingredients were fresh, service and prices were great and the old bank building had lots of character. We were sure that our server Clink must be the owner given his level of service. Great experience all together!

Wendy Parliament

Nice atmosphere, great food

Thomas Hyde

A very nice experience, unique atmosphere and good service with fair prices. Lots of parking in the area and easy access and well maintained washrooms. The French onion soup was done very nicely and the vegetarian pizza was wonderful. My only thing that I recommend is a few more vegetarian and some sort of vegan options on the menu.

Renee Combe

Beautiful place,. Our waiter Steven was great. Food was fantastic !!!

Tory Kimbriel

Three stars Great food, affordable prices But the service was lacking, we sat there for over 10 minutes with empty plates and no service; the waiter only came back with offers of refills on drinks as we were getting ready to leave.

Kevin Guest

Had the most amazing pizza, calamari and wings here, everything well done, cost is also amazing for the quantity of food you get its definitely worth it. The service is also amazing, very friendly environment. Such a great experience.

Just LOVE this place, one of Our favourites. Great atmosphere especially if sitting in the "Courtyard", it gives the feel of sitting in a laneway outside similar to several restaurants in Perth, AUS and is just so relaxing. The food is always hot and delicious regardless of what You order it is always prepared just right and served with a Friendly smile. Give it a go, You won't be disappointed.

Great service.

Food is good and staff is friendly, although, prices could be a bit cheaper.

John R Jackson

We visited The OBB last Friday for their Lake Erie Perch dinner. It was nothing short of excellent. The way they prepare the perch is far superior than any restaurant in the Niagara Region. Our server Katarina was also very polite, friendly & looked after our every need. If you like perch you got to try it here.

Diane Becker

Service was bad took 40 minutes just to get a coffee, had chicken parmesan chicken was deep fryer and hard spaghetti was cold. Was very disappointed.

G. Miller

The atmosphere and decor are cgarming, unique and full of local history. Server was pleasant and prepared for our little group. As for the food, well everyone cleaned their plate! Great split pea soup.....all dishes were good, but the sweet potatoe fries were unanimously said to be the best ever.

Beate Volzke

Very pleasant employees. The food was good.this was my first time eating there. I tried one other time and could not get past the musty smell at front door. So i gave it another try and glad I did.

Myriam Garabedian

Very friendly staff (especially Sammy) and super delicious food. The menu has a variety of great options, and prices are very reasonable. Seating in the indoor courtyard is really unique!!!

Rhonda Wagner

Awesome soup

sarah smith

This has been our go-to restaurant for about 2 years and we've always enjoyed it, despite the slower service. My husband and I used to go twice a week when our now almost 2 year old was a newborn. Tonight, I had an awful experience. My son and I walked in, waited to be seated for about 20 minutes - making eye contact with every employee and the man at the desk. We were blatantly ignored. In fact, an older couple walked in behind us, and right away, they were offered to be seated. The man had to walk AROUND me to ask them to follow him. I spoke up and was told he "didn't realize we were there." HE HAD TO WALK AROUND ME TO SEAT THE OTHER GUESTS. It was unusual and kind of hurtful to be blatantly ignored, especially as regular customers who go here often and tip well. Even after being seated, we were never asked about the quality of our food/offered refills or anything. We won't go again and won't be referring people to go as we have in the past.

Matt

Well priced, good food, nice servers. The whole inside has a very cool look and design to it and the area made to look like it's outdoors is very nice.

Terry Marie Mawhin

Food exquisite. Service excellent

Niagara Foodie

First timers and our curiousity paid dividends while venturing down the Niagara Parkway and stopped in our new favourite eatery! The food was amazing, the prices were very affordable, service was very friendly and our server helped us through their vast menu. We'll be back and so glad we stopped in for a look. We tried the Buffalo Chicken Pasta which was incredible and the grilled Salmon dish was moist and cooked to perfection. The wine list was a bit small but a few nice local wines were quite good. We met the owner Peter, he was very friendly and helpful as to where to find other neat stops in town and actually encouraged us to tickle the baby grand piano in the lounge on the way out and we have found a couple of new friends as well. Win Win!

Food is good....I think they are okay....bad location though.

The food here is delicious. Everything that came to our table was fantastic. The only suggestion would be more wait staff. There was only one older gentleman waiting all the tables by himself for the entire restaurant. This made service slow, however, he was very sweet. It took a few attempts to get some water because the poor gentleman was running around all over the place. We would indeed recommend this place, and venture out to Fort Erie once again for this place. The food is really, really good. You’d enjoy it.

Doug Lounsbury
