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.

    We were celebrating our recent elopment and the team at Oaklands was superb! They really went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated. The food was delicious, and we had an amazing view of the gardens. Would recommend to anyone celebrating with their loved ones.

    Delicious breakfast with beautiful presentation. Staff service was outstanding. I brought friends from France on their first visit to Canada. They were extremely impressed with everything. Definitely worth a visit.

    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.

    It was okay. The server was a bit odd and kept asking my wife to repeat something that she couldn’t pronounce correctly (English isn’t her first language). Toilet in the bathrooms gives you one square at a time and when it runs out you have nothing. Portions were tiny for breakfast but overall the food was good.
