We come here every year following a visit to the Shaw Theatre and the restaurant never disappoints. The service is very professional and the food tasty and well presented. The price points are reasonable, a wide choice of great wines and a limited number of beers but nevertheless a selection that suits my taste in beers. I recommend the Dunkel lager. We did find the chairs a bit uncomfortable as the cushions are soft and the frame of the chair tends to bite into one thighs! Maybe just the chair I sat on.

Was looking forward to our first visit. To begin with, server poured water all over table cloth, cutlery, my phone, trying to fill water glass by leaning way over table. Not really apologetic, just got another linen napkin yo allow me to clean up the mess as much as I could. Nice menu but nit very many choices. When we ordered mussels, were told they were out. Next table had just ordered the last two available. We asked to keep the menu while we had soup and salad, to decide on a replacement. Finally decided in another item, to be told they were also out of it. Feel we should have been told of both of those unavailables. It is hard to say whether we would recommend or try again; if either, we would certainly suggest booking your food choices when making reservation.

Table was great. Michelle & Diana were marvellous as always. Martinis were on point. Son & husband’s meals were as expected. Mine underwhelmed. $60 for Halibut! It was supposed to be served with rice pilaf. It was soggy, overcooked white rice. Seasonal vegetables was a half a cob of corn only. Not easy to eat in a fancy restaurant. All 3 items were flavourless. Desserts were great.

Restaurant interior needs an upgrade. Was a quiet night which was fine. Food is overpriced for the quality. Seasonal side vegetable was a half con of corn. Odd. No bread ahead of the meal. Overall quite a flat experience for an expensive evening.

Capped off our day trip to Beamsville with an outdoor dinner at Peninsula Ridge - a restaurant with one of the most breathtaking views I've ever experienced during a meal around these parts 🍇🌳🌳🌳🍇 . I had the Striploin (medium-rare), served with a glass of Merlot. Unbelievably delicious, I'm still dreaming about it! I hope to return again and again!

We enjoyed our lunch in the historic home. The private alcove on the 2nd floor that overlooked the valley and vineyard was an ideal location for us to savour lunch and wine. The wine recommendations at lunch perfectly suited our meals. Afterwards we strolled over to the winery to sample additional wines. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Lovely setting in a nicely preserved old mansion. Excellent service. The food was outstanding, but just a little lighter on the saltiness would improve it. We were here for Sunday brunch, and our return for brunch or dinner is a guarantee. Highly recommended!

Winery in the Niagara wine region that offers dining in a serene setting. Excellent wines; food quality is good to excellent. This place offers a variety of salads, main courses, desserts, and, of course, their wines. Friendly and efficient staff. Much of the food is locally sourced. Interesting menu. Reservations are recommended.

We ate on the outdoor patio until a storm forced us inside as we finished our meal. This birthday celebration included a bottle of Beal Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay which was excellent and refreshing. Caesar salads preceded a pasta special and crispy chicken sandwich. Both entrees and the salads were delicious. Crème brûlée and capachinos completed our meal. A nice relaxing lunch in a vineyard setting. Liam and the ladies were attentive and personable.

We had outstanding friendly and professional service from Alyssa. The food was wonderful. We had the charcuterie board for two and it was more than enough for lunch. We also shared a dessert and had the crème brûlée. We enjoyed a bottle of tiny bubbles sparkling rosé, which was excellent very dry. Our entire lunch experience was terrific and a lot of that had to do with Alyssa our server.

We used to come regularly, especially in the summer evenings for dinner and wine on the patio. The food and service and beautiful property and atmosphere with jazz playing lightly in the background; kept us coming back. Even our little one request coming to celebrate all our special occasions. Unfortunately, this time is was as though it was under different management or there was a new chef (we were assured nothing has changed when we inquired). The food quality was lacking. All our meals tasted as though they had been prepared earlier and not fresh or had been forgotten under a heat lamp. Price increases are to be expected these days but when portion size is reduced, it is unwarranted. We are so disappointed and hate that we now have to look for a new family favourite winery restaurant.
