Not worth it
When we arrived for the Sunday "Steak and Seafood" buffet, our reserved table was not ready. We were told they had only noted on the reservation that they would "try" to seat our party of 6 together (try? really? 6 is not that large a party and we certainly weren't told that). So we had to wait in the small entranceway where food was being served (looking at the "limit of 12 oysters per person please" sign at the station and being in other customers' way as they tried to access the food. I realize they are not normally set up to do buffets in the restaurant, but the lobby is definitely not the place to put a station!). We were told by the assistant manager that the people at our table had been there for 3 hours, but the assistant manager didn't feel comfortable telling them that another party was waiting for the table (however they were obviously perfectly comfortable asking us to wait - without offering any accommodation for the inconvenience). Personally, if I had been at a table so long and someone told me another party was waiting, I'd be apologetic for not realizing I'd been there that long! We found the food overall was perfectly adequate. I wouldn't call it stellar - some of the dishes were nice, but the vaunted one lobster per person was very overcooked and rubbery for 5 out of the 6 members of our party. I agree with the previous reviewer that serving unpeeled shrimp for the peel and eat portion is fine, but the marinated and cooked shrimp, while tasty, should definitely have been peeled. They were messy and unpleasant to eat, which rather detracted from the nice taste. We found dirty plates at the hot buffet and warm plates at the salad bar. When the website advertises "the finest in Mediterranean Dining" and the prices are on the higher side, I expect a higher level of service and quality, and I didn't experience it. I used to live in Niagara and have been to the owners' sister restaurant, the Lake House, many times and while I thought it too was a bit pricey for the food quality, at least the beautiful lake view was some justification and the service was always consistently friendly and excellent. The Stone House just doesn't measure up to the hype they post on their website. This was my first visit and I doubt I'll be back.
