This section needs a little action so I will post my fav fine dining restaurants in the Falls area:
1. Carpaccio
2. Hillebrand Winery Restaurant (very fancy and romantic, for a "special occasion")
3. Ristorante Giardino (Niagara on the Lake)
4. Yukiguni (Sushi)
Most restaurants near the Falls are $$$$ and touristy plus the parking is a problem. I tried that one across the street from Carpacio, Johny Rocco's, it was average and very drafty. I avoid Casa Mia, last time I went the salad was so oily I could change my engine 3X with it plus the food is $$$$ and not worth it IMO. Keg is OK if you want a steak. I am referring to the one in the Courtyard by Marriott, the one overlooking the Falls is a zoo and there is a long wait in season. I stopped by Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse in the Hilton and its $44.95/person and it is a glorified buffet where you get 12 choices of entrees they bring to your table plus 70 sides all you can eat. The buffet at the Fallsview is a good value if you like to eat massive amounts of average food but the parking is $10 unless you are going to gamble too.
