Mojito House — Restaurant in Niagara Falls

Came for the Cuban Party on May 27th with my wife and a couple of friends. What a disaster. Clearly something went desperately awry in the planning of this event, as they were completely unprepared to deal with the crowd -- which wasn't that big (between 60-75 people would be my guess). Apparently there was supposed to be a BBQ included in the ticket price, but no BBQ materialized. They were decent enough to refund the ticket price, but then the burden of feeding the crowd fell to one poor guy in the kitchen and two overwhelmed servers (one with her arm in a sling) trying to handle food and drinks for everyone. The result was slow drink orders and good luck getting a refill, and an hour-long wait for our food, which arrived one plate at a time with 5-10 minute gaps between them. Somehow the servers managed to stay cheerful through this menagerie, which is a testament to their professionalism. Once the music started, it was too loud for conversation at all, so if you weren't dancing you were just staring at your table-mates.

What was supposed to be an enjoyable evening ended up being an exercise in holding onto your patience. In the end, we left early and probably...

Went during a Latin Night. The only food they offered was Nachos and Cheese. They reserved 90% of the tables for bottle “service”. The so called service was a lady in spandex and a T-shirt asking us to get drinks every 10 min. The place is small, when you add 6 security guards with bullet proof vests is overkill. The washroom was dated and required cleanup. The wait staff kept having to explain their sales tracking system to customers. The “Latin Night” was 80% Reggaeton; I was told at the door that there will be entertainment at 11pm; it turned out to be a hype man going around with a microphone trying to get people excited. It was painful to watch. I was there from 9:10 until 12:30 waiting to see if the night got any better.It did not.

Oh, I forgot to mention that they charged a cover ($10 pp). BTW, These are not the views of a negative person; these are facts of what a "valued customer" who drove over 1 hr to your establishment, was treated by your staff and felt that they received a lot less than what...

Whether you like to dance to latin music or just hangout at the bar and enjoy it, Mojito House is a great place to have a taste of the most recent latin American music in the Niagara region. Weekdays is a regular bar and restaurant for delicious cuban meals. Wednesdays are free salsa lessons after 9pm and Friday's have live bands once in a while. If you like more of a hectic night out with friends, Saturday is the night for you. Show up before 10pm to avoid cover ($5) or show up a couple hours later and you will barely find a place to stand. The place is not that big. At its busiest nights you will be bumping into other people dancing. In the summertime they open their patio, giving the place a bit more room for those who just want to hangout and drink. Overall it's an awesome place with a variety of people from all sorts of ages where you can enjoy dancing to salsa, bachata, merengue, reggaeton and other music. Highly recommend it for those who want to learn a bit about the...
