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.

Best tenderloin steak we’ve had in years! Asparagus could have used about another minute but it was still good. Lovely cheesecake to finish off. We hope to be back again, even though it’s a five hour drive to get here.

Overall the food was very tasty. We enjoyed every selection we chose. It's basically shareable plates and we were not expecting that. The cocktails were innovative and delicious. We would go back, but better prepared for their concept next time.
