Deliciously Refined Elegance

Niagara-on-the-Lake is famous for its historic architecture, golf courses, and culinary prowess, so why not combine these into one wonderful experience? The HobNob Restaurant & Wine Bar is found in a beautifully restored 1832 manor house that overlooks the renowned Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club. The name of the game at HobNob is laidback, yet exquisite indulgence. Emphasizing the best ingredients – many from local farms – HobNob's menu provides temptations from start to finish, front to back.

Amazing experience for our first time in Canada! Coming from the states, this restaurant reminds us of a quaint New England town…just better in every way imaginable. Anna was an absolute dream of a waitress and made great conversations while suggesting food and wine which was spot on. This is at the end of town and does not have as much foot traffic as the other restaurants so no wait! Check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Our experience at this restaurant was awful from start to finish. When we arrived, three couples were already waiting at the front desk with no one in sight to seat us. Once seated, our server, who was working alone, assured us she wouldn't forget us, which should have been the first red flag. We ordered a wedge salad (vegetarian, no prosciutto), mussels, and fish tacos (without kimchi). It took an hour for our server to come and update us on what was happening with our food. Despite being reassured every 20 minutes that it was on the way. The server, though sympathetic, kept bringing items like salt and pepper, ketchup, and empty bowls, but still no food. It took an hour and a half for us to receive our meals. It was an utterly bizarre experience and the server said there was a chef changeover, which I can only assume meant our orders were never placed and forgotten, or it was one chef cooking for the entire (not busy) restaurant. When the food finally arrived, everything was wrong. The wedge salad ( a pathetic slice of iceberg lettuce that could be whipped up in 5 minutes) had prosciutto and chicken, and the fish tacos came with kimchi. The mussels were subpar with far too many empty shells for the price point. Despite the server's apology and our entire meal being comped, the experience ruined our day, especially since I was showing guests around from out of country. Even with the free meal, the service was non existent, the food was awful, and I simply couldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting timely service or proper dietary accommodations.

We had the 6 course tasting menu. It was well planned and well executed. The only sour note was the wait necessary before any food arrived. From the moment we arrived to getting our amuse bouche it was almost an hour. The rest of the meal was served in a leisurely manner. If we had known what to expect we might have skipped this option and chose the regular a al carte menu.
