Niagra on the Lake , Ontario

just got back from a trip to Niagra on the Lake , Ontario which is a great town in the middle of wine country in Ontario and just lovely ...the George Bernard Shaw theater festival is there as well...we discovered the most unlikely crummy but good there.....The Stone Road Grill is in a strip shopping center right outside the historic section and had the most unbelievable food and wine that we had on the whole trip..if you saw the place from the outside, you would never consider it to be worthwhile but having said that...if you ever go there (to the town) dont miss this restaurant...expensive but worth every penny and the wine selection is fantastic..I had the Lamb made 3 different ways and I licked the plate..my wife had Tuna nicoise and she licked her plate......when we left the town to come back to the USA, we went via the Peace bridge and into Buffalo and on the way to the airport, we got off 33 east at Union road, rode about a mile and came upon the Holiday Showcase restaurant on Union Rd. in the town of Cheektowaga..had a great breakfast and then went onto the Buffalo airport...however, you have to get on 33 west to turn around to get on 33 east and then to the airport...
