About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Charming
Good for special occasions

The Oaklands celebrates simplicity, the season, and a sense of place. We connect people to place through respect for our history, our land, artisans and our commitment to warm hospitality and service. The restaurant takes its culinary cues from Niagara’s ingredient driven cuisine, rooted in the breadth and depth of global French culinary influence.

The beautiful setting encourages you to lose track of time enjoying stunning vineyard views and our sister property, Peller Estates, while enjoying a menu that changes with the seasons.

I had a great inside table overlooking the vineyard on a beautifully sunny weekday. The breakfast was excellent. I had the avocado toast with smoked salmon and a poached egg. The egg was perfectly cooked and the smoked salmon was beautifully smoked placed on quality home made, fresh bread. The coffee was terrific. Not burnt swill that languished in a pot. Nicely brewed. The service was friendly and attentive. Food came out hot. Oaklands made it completely unnecessary to leave the property for breakfast. Highly recommend even for those not staying at the Inn. FYI: I’m a breakfast kind of guy. With a wide array of choices and a good selection of morning cocktails I envisage this is a great place to brunch on weekends with family, friends, or just you and your boo. Make a morning at Oaklands. You won’t regret it.
