This was not the typical sit down restaurant instead it's located inside the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute and serves as a simulation restaurant for the students that take courses there. The hostess informed me that everyone from the cooks, hosts and servers were all students which means they're still learning. I stopped by for lunch and had made a reservation to celebrate my birthday. They seated me at a nice table by the windows. Complimentary bread is served with some butter, pickles and olive oil. My first course was the falafel stuffed with lamp and dipping sauce on the side. The lamb was cooked pretty well but tasted just a bit gamey. My main course was the German pork cutlet (jagerschnitzel) which came with some fried dough pieces and maybe pickled greens. The star of the dish was definitely the pork cutlet which was pounded thin and fried till crispy. The sauce it came with also complimented the dish very well. I also decided to get one of their mocktails (the original). After I finished my food, they came out with a special dessert which consisted of a cotton candy flavored cookie sandwich and piece of chocolate fudge cake. The cookie was way too sweet for me but the cake was just right. If not celebrating, worry not, you also get a complimentary flight of desserts as well. Service could've been better but I'll just assume that the server was still inexperienced and nervous. Their hand touched some of the complimentary bread which seemed unhygienic, told me to put the utensils into the plate even though I was seated at a small table and they could've done it, and I overheard them remarking that someone finally ordered from the mocktail menu. It just seemed unprofessional. All in all, this is a pretty good spot if you want a three course meal for an inexpensive price in the Niagara Falls area which doesn't have that many options to choose from. They also do dinner.

Savor was the perfect choice of restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday whilst visiting Niagara Falls. The set 3 course menu was well priced and had a variety of options to choose from. The meals were perfectly cooked with a symphony of flavour that delighted the senses. Plating was exceptional with attention to detail. The bread baskets were accompanied by house made herb butter, balsamic vinegar and olive oil mix with pickles on the side. This was enjoyable whilst waiting for our meals. Dessert was a masterpiece and closed the meal on an even higher note. The service was seamless from start to finish. Our server Rachel struck the ideal balance between professionalism and warmth. She was knowledgeable about the menu, enthusiastic without being intrusive, and always attentive to our needs. We truly enjoyed our experience. This is truly a Standout Dining Destination!!

Just had an unforgettable meal at Savor Restaurant at the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute and WOW — what an experience! They serve three-course meals crafted with incredible skill and care, and everything we tried was exceptional. The standout? The mushroom tartine — rich, earthy, and perfectly balanced. I could’ve eaten a whole tray of it! Each dish felt like a masterclass in flavor and presentation. You can tell the students and chefs take immense pride in what they do. Our server, Ashley, made the evening even better — she was knowledgeable, prompt, and genuinely friendly. We felt well taken care of from start to finish. If you’re anywhere near Niagara Falls, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. It’s one of those hidden gems that completely overdelivers. Bravo, Savor!
