Just an outstanding meal. The service staff is fantastic in service, answering questions and offering advise. As someone who has been in Japan several times, the service was comparable to Tokyo which may have the best food service in the world. Our server offered advice on a saki which was outstanding. The food was delicious and the presentation beautiful. If you want a truly Japanese experience this is the place.

We had the woodfired pizza and the cod. Both dishes were delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and the whole atmosphere of sitting almost in the vineyards was very relaxing and enjoyable. This restaurant is a must try for anyone in the area. I can see why it was rated in the top 100 restaurants in Canada.

Zees Grill at the Shaw Club Hotel in Niagara-on-the-Lake is located across the street from the Shaw Festival Theatre and has the largest patio in Niagara. Our chef has created an array of dishes that are as delicious as they are inventive to tantalize your taste buds.. At Zees, fine dining meets fun dining.

Enjoyed a lovely pre-theatre brunch. Chicken sandwich portion was both generous and tasty. Side salad was great. Enjoyed the addition of pumpkin seeds and cranberries and vinaigrette was perfect with greens.

About the restaurant
Peninsula Ridge Estates is truly a world class wine and culinary destination catering to guests who are looking to pair a relaxed and casual atmosphere with an incredible dining experience. The property is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Niagara Escarpment, Lake Ontario including the Toronto Skyline and of course our pristine vineyards. The restaurant is set in our historic "Queen Anne Revival" Victorian mansion perched on the brow of the Beamsville Bench and features a great outdoor patio for dining during our long summer days and nights.



Our culinary team takes great pride in offering the ultimate dining experience using fresh locally grown produce (often grown right down the street) served by skilled, professional and friendly staff. Our reputation for epicurean excellence is often one of the main reasons why people choose The Restaurant at Peninsula Ridge.

This is one of the two or three best restaurants in Niagara wine country. Local wines are well represented on a very cosmopolitan wine list. Several sommeliers are at your service and the service overall is attentive and professional. Owned by the local Treadwell family, who have deep roots in the region's food and wine scene.
