We went there for lunch and were promptly seated at a table by the window. Friendly, efficient staff. Our food came quickly and was delicious. We had manicotti and a chicken stuffed pita. Generous portions. I asked for some mayo for my fries, and when the bill came, they charged me $1.50. I was told that it more expensive then ketchup....I also wasn't told that they charged for mayo. I wonder how much ketchup cost? Make sure you ask the cost of any additions....

We were looking for a "nice" restaurnat to enjoy our last dinner of this mini-vacation. We did a Google search and found this location. When we arrived we were impressed by its size. Entering we were met by a friendly server and advised of the covid procedures. We could't help but notice the beautiful bar (unfortunatly unavailable) to the left of the entrance. The restaurant is large and has multiple dining levels with second floor tables above the bar. Very interesting. The main dining room is on two levels separated from the bar area. The rooms are well furnished and you have the feeling of being in a fine dining establishment. As soon as we were seated we were approached by our server Tiffany. She was a deliteful young lady who soon brougnt us our 20oz ($7.20) and 10oz ($4.75) beers. Very shortly thereafter we were served delicious hot rolls. The menu is quite extensive and had a wide and varied selection. We placed orders for Fish and Chips, one for two pieces and one for one piece ($20 & $16). The servings were very large with perfectly cooked Haddock in a light batter. The two piece serving could easly have satisfied us both. Included were large fresh salads. Dinner was excellent! We would love to return when the Covid restrictions are removed.

I'm shocked at the quality of my visit during yesterday's lunch. My friend and I casually visit every so often at Golden Valley to catch up and enjoy our time together along with eating delicious food. We decided to visit this Thursday and it was the worst experience we've ever had at this restaurant. The owners really needs to fix their phone's volume or at the very least have someone answer it. It is annoying to have a phone constantly ringing and ringing to have no one answer it. It wasn't answered until we noticed another lady call a waitress over and say to answer it. Clearly it's loud if other people are annoyed. To make matters worse, our food was so salty, I could feel my tongue drying up. This was always our go to spot, but this visit was more of a nuisance than anything.

Dont go when busy. They cant handle a lot of people. My food came cold after waiting over three quarters of an hour because as the waiter said they had a lot of people. When I asked to have my food hot it took another twenty min. I only had a roast beef dip sandwich? Then they brought my sandwich on a separate plate and said they would bring the fries later??? Only excuse ... we are busy. This was only lunch. God knows how long it would take if it were a dinner item!!

Since arriving from Toronto 7 years ago, the Golden Valley has been our favourite restaurant. From its comfortable seating, peaceful atmosphere to its delicious food and wide ranging menu, it is a diamond in an area of mediocre eating establishments. We have gone during special celebrations, such as Valentine's Day, and the staff and hostess have handled the crowds and culinary demands with professionalism and great diplomacy! We were thrilled to have discovered this restaurant and continue to look forward to every aspect of our eating experience. We hope it continues for years to come.

We decided to take a look at the restaurant on a “ let’s go see”..It is deceiving from the outside,we have been past this place many a time. We got inside and was surprised to see the spacious area..the interior is tiered,tables are nice,chairs are good,We didn’t have a reservation ,but next time it will be a must we got there just around 520pm,and by 6pm it is a going concern. the interior is brass railings and multi glass mirrors.The menu reads like a what’s ,what, with various Greek,North American,and island cuisine ( just guessing) as was evident by the clients,our waitress was fine didn’t rush us at all,however the waiter who had the table across from us,had so much more information to pass along.Be prepared to pay as the prices are slightly elevated, and you may be told that what you were going to order is not available as we overheard a few times during our visit. food was good fair portions,it just needed to be hotter

The Golden Valley is now available for 'dine in'. Face coverings are required until you are seated at your table/booth. Social distancing is observed. My wife and I visited this restaurant on July 28th, 2020 for dinner. We were promptly seated at a nice booth, and our server, Natalie looked after our order. My wife asked for the Fettuccine Alfredo with a side of Caesar salad. I decided on a French Onion soup followed with a Steak sandwich. Both meals were delicious, and my wife took some of her Fettuccine home in a take out container. A very generous serving. The service was excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Went to this restaurant for the first time yesterday. I had heard good things about it and was very anxious to try it. We have only lived in the area a short time and we were looking for a place we could make our usual family restaurant. Unfortunately was very disappointing ! I ordered Lasagna and my husband spaghetti and meat balls. Also ordered Bruschetta bread. Small dinner rolls were supplied and were good. Salad or soup was included and we both chose salad, Greek dressing was very good but salad disappointed . It was very very cold and obviously made ahead and put back in refrigerator. Tomatoes were way to cold and seemed like been in fridge to long. Lasagna was disappointing with little meat or cheese inside it. Sauce tasted like canned tomatoes soup. My husbands spaghetti the same and meatballs were supposed to be homemade according to waitress. We both felt they were frozen. The bruschetta was delicious. I wish waitress had told us garlic bread was coming with our meal and we wouldn't have ordered the bruschetta . Too much bread but glad we did because it was the highlight of our meal. Chairs were very uncomfortable! Meals were all about $20.00 so would have liked to have enjoyed them. Maybe Pasta not their thing so will give them another chance and order some meat meals. Waittress was nice but very busy. We also will make reservations before going. We hadn't and they had a hard time finding us a table.

The staff was extremely inattentive and seemed more concerned about COVID hysteria than actually serving people. The hygiene theatre was over the top and the food arrived cold. Never again!, The server made a point of letting us know he was vaccinated, while we passed on sharing personal medical history.

We visited the restaurant with my in laws for dinner. The atmosphere was very welcoming, friendly, and clean. This was our first visit to a restaurant in the pandemic time. We felt pretty safe and relax. We registered our names upon arrival and The restaurant and staff were beautifully following the government protocols. The food portions were very generous and the food was absolutely delicious. I totally recommend this restaurant for celebrating or relaxing with family.

We had a 6:00pm reservation for six people on Saturday, 11 March 2023. We foolishly asked for the upper level which was the furthest from the kitchen and probably contributed to our issues. This resulted in luke warm French onion soup with the cheese being too tough to eat. Our server got the drink order wrong and completely forgot one caesar salad order entirely but made certain it was on the bill. We had that corrected before paying the bill. The main course was very late while all the tables around us were being cleared with no one helping our server deliver our meals. We are semi-regular guests with first-time guests in attendance with us on Saturday. We profusely apologized to our guests as this was a first of being so utterly disappointed in the service. We left the restaurant around 8:30pm in total dismay at what had just transpired. We opted for no dessert otherwise we might have still been there.

My husband and I were visiting from the U.S. I was born and raised in this area and a lot of family wanted to get together for a nice dinner and evening. Several people suggested this place and it was a winner! There were 12 of us and I requested a private room and the person I made the reservation with was very nice and helpful. We went on Tues. Sept. 13th and I do not remember our waiters name but he was great. He explained the history of the restaurant and was very informative. Took good care of all of us, food came out hot and in a timely manner and he was very nice, answered all our questions, ect. No complaints about the food, several had the prime rib and it was very tender and delicious and cooked to the proper temperature. All in all it was a great evening whether there is a crowd or just two I highly recommend the Golden Valley!! We enjoyed the evening very much and we will be back!

September 6th 2022. A very lengthy wait for our food order. I had the vegetarian stir fry which was really a steamed selection of veggies lacking in taste. Our server was attentive and got me more sauce which made a world of difference to the taste...alas, the bed of rice was soggy which made it obvious the veggies were not stir fried. My husband had the large Greek salad which also disappointed. Very little feta cheese on a large mound of lettuce with 4 olives. We had been given a gift card by a friend who suggested we try the place. She was sad to hear of our disappointment.

I've driven by the Golden Valley in Trenton for several years and always thought it was a Chinese Restaurant! It was my wife's birthday and we were going out for dinner and the other couple suggested the Golden Valley as they had been there after learning it wasn't what they thought. So we checked the menu and it looked great. I had one of the best burgers (bacon/cheddar with the works - well done and very juicy!) I have had in a LONG time (perfect onion rings and fries). My wife LOVES Stiploin steaks and she decided to try the special ... thinly sliced roasted Striploin ... and she thought it was awesome! Needless to say, we will be back! And our server? She was VERY good!

We were heading from Montreal to Michigan for some dog shows and general wandering. We made a point to stop a night in Brighton so we could indulge in some prime rib. We can always count on The Golden Valley for superb roast beef at a fair price. Service was friendly and the beef outstanding. Later on this trip we had 2 other opportunities to sample prime rib. Neither came close.
