About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views
Charming

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.

On a hot day, it was way too cold inside the restaurant. Unfortunately it rained heavily and we were forced to eat inside.

Beautiful location and the service was outstanding. Dinner was well presented, slow paced for an early evening to allow us to linger and enjoy the ambiance and the dishes were tasty and full of colour.
