What is the "Clifton Hill Restaurant Menu Bait-and-Switch" scam in Niagara Falls?

Question

Accepted Answer

Several restaurants on Clifton Hill display low-priced menu boards outside to attract tourists but present a different, higher-priced menu once guests are seated. Additional charges for "table service," mandatory gratuity of 20–25% pre-added, and upsold combo packages inflate a stated $15 meal to $35 or more. Complaints are met with gestures toward fine-print disclaimers. Review the full in-house menu before being seated and ask directly about service charges and gratuity policies. Research restaurants on Google Maps or TripAdvisor before choosing, and look for places away from the immediate Clifton Hill strip for better value.
