Treadwell Farm-to-Table Cuisine- Niagara on the lake

We were looking forward to dining here. The experience was fine, but just fine. There were three of us dining at lunch. We all ordered the mushroom soup as a starter. It lacked seasoning. My mother had to flag down the server to ask for pepper. The server brought it to her but then promptly turned on her heel away from the table before asking either my sister and I if we would like some as well. My sister had to flag her down again to bring it back, and then she turned away again without offering it to me. We originally asked for still water but throughout service we were switched to sparkling. We didn’t say anything because it wasn’t a fuss. I ordered the mackerel. The poached egg on top was hard boiled. My mother’s steak was cold. I had to flag down the server twice to ask her to top up wines. If any of these things were isolated then we would not be fussed over it. Cumulatively, unfortunately we most likely will not return.

This was y third time here in the last 6 months, by far the best restaurant and food quality in the region. Noise level allowed for good conversation.

All local food but has its own features. Food was cooked just exactly right. We also like their creativeness. Even the dessert menu surprised us. I am not a big fan of sweets. But, tried their toffee cake, amazing taste! Will definitely come back again.

Excellent food and service!!!

This was our first time going to Treadwell, for our anniversary. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by the hostess and maître d’ wishing us a happy anniversary. We were sat at the booths close to the kitchen so we could see what was going on, but far enough away it wasn’t so busy or hot. The sommelier and our server Jerome came over to wish us a happy anniversary as well, and the sommelier poured us a complimentary glass of sparkling wine.

We ordered the charcuterie, scallops and foie gras. This was our first experience with foie gras and it was extremely pleasant, with preserved apricots and a sweet baguette, and the scallops were the best we’ve ever had with a sweet tangy parsnip puree accompanying it. The charcuterie was to die for! The date preserve, terrine and prosciutto were our favourites.

For entrees we ordered the special, short ribs, and the Arctic char. Both were cooked perfectly, the short ribs were buttery with a nice barbecue/hoisin sauce and mustard potato purée, and the Arctic char was paired well with dauphinoise potatoes and a honey lemon sauce.

The dessert was the best part of our meal. We ordered the dark chocolate marquise with blackberry sorbet, cheddar crumble, and a tart blackberry compote that balanced well. The apple crumble we ordered was fantastic, caramelized apples, a sticky toffee bottom, vanilla bourbon ice cream and chèvre crust.

Our service throughout was impeccable and the warm wishes and sparkling wine from service topped off the occasion. Overall extremely pleasant, we will be back and will recommend it to everyone we know (we already have)!

Great food however very overpriced for quantity received. Wine prices are insanely over priced.

Excellent service, dining and food experience. We always love an evening at Treadwell.

Great food and exceptional service. Only negative was the very expensive wines by the glass.

Lunch
Anniversary

Our server was amazing, personality, funny, not pushy, great suggestions! We sat at the end of the bar alone Sunday morning and they all treated us with great respect. 4 people held the door open for us honestly amazing!

Always a great experience at Treadwell's, the new menu was spectacular and loved the restaurant expansion that provided a more intimate dining experience. Looking forward to our next visit!

Excellent wine list. So thrilled to have a flawless evening

We always love Treadwell. The food was excellent as always and they have a great wine list. We’ll be heading back again soon.

My party of 6 all felt that the restaurant was very overpriced. The Menu was misleading. The steak we ordered at lunch was a flank steak but the menu did not state that. The meat was tough and the knife utensil was not sharp enough to cut it. The salad that accompanied the lobster sandwich was far too salty. Overall, we were excited to try this restaurant but were disappointed when we left.

The service was impeccable.
The food was delicious and perfectly done.
The ambiance was perfect for our first date.

Nice service and great produce.

Amamzing local food, love this resturant. The wine is amazing and also local. So impressed. Will come again and again.

Atmosphere, service, food were all outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Not only was the food delicious but they allowed the perfect amount of time in between courses. We were relaxed & definitely not rushed. Thanks for a truly amazing dining experience.

Fantastic experience! Culinary food quality & presentation was exceptional! Wine selection and service was impressive. Great open concept kitchen offers interesting view and wonderful aroma. Love the smaller intimate feeling of this place.

We've been making the drive from Toronto to Treadwells for many years, ever since father and son opened the original Port Dalhousie location. It's just a perfect restaurant in every way. And Stephen Treadwell and his staff have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Niagara wines.

Food was fantastic, and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely be returning for future dinners.

We arrived early for our reservation and was quickly seated. Our server was friendly and attentive and knew the menu. The food was amazing from start to finish. My boyfriend and I ordered different dishes so we could share as we wanted to try so many. Will definitely come again.

Excellent choice for that special dining experience.

Fantastic spot - went with my new wife last week and had an incredible dinner with brilliant service and lovely wine from their cellar. Must go spot in NOTL.

Portions a bit small but otherwise very very good. The staff were wonderful and the atmosphere perfect for a special night out.

The waitress Sarah was very pleasant and provided excellent service.
The food was truly scrumptious and fresh.

Food was very good! Service is very good too. Only thing is during lunch, there’s some small fruit flies around us, l think of tell the people but I don’t know if they have any action on this problem yet? BTW, on trip advicer, l had saw people had complained the same thing too. I honestly hope they will doing something about the flies.

Consistently a gastronomical experience, we’ve choose Treadwell to celebrate our Anniversary dinner because we were there in the summer of couple of times and really enjoyed it. The food is excellent and paired wonderfully with great service. Also a great selection of wine! Look forward to going back.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The food, wine, service and atmosphere was truly wonderful. Thank you James for making our evening so enjoyable and memorable.

By far the best restaurant in NOTL. Been here many time and the food is always amazing and the staff always friendly

Fabulous service And delectable food. Greg did a
Great job and James offered the most delightful wine pairings. It was spectacular!
Thanks!

Great service, great food! Within walking distance to our hotel. Overall fabulous dining experience for us!

We had a great time. The food was amazing!!! Benoit our server was great!
The only downfall was the amount of fruit flies at our table. The place was very clean so we understood that it wasn't a common problem.

We will return and we highly recommend this Treadwell to any adventurous eater.

That was a terrific lunch. Nice room overlooking the vineyards.
Very nice food. Helpful, informative service.
And after lunch - the food shop next door!

one of our top and most fav places to dine - definitely worth the trip from TO

The food was good and well presented. The service was excellent and friendly.

We had a wonderful dinner at Treadwells. The entire evening was perfect from the food, to the service to the wine. Thank you!

We were a group of five. The food and the wine was very good. I had the pickerel which was amazing and two of us had the artic char which they enjoyed also. The Bachelder white wine was excellent and complemented our meal. The staff was very attentive and the service was incredible. We all enjoyed our evening!
I would definitely go again when I am in town. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

My husband and I always love coming to treadwell for dinner. We sit at the counter and watch the show! Always a great experience!

Excellent dinner and service. Food was fantastic! Good job chef!
