The second night” our 41st wedding anniversary at the end of our meal Kaitlin brought us a dessert and an anniversary card signed by all the staff that Mieriam our waitress the night before had left for us, it really ment the world to us. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you all the next time we are in Niagara on the Lake.”

“We absolutely love Pilliteri. We attended again for the region’s Chocolate and Wine Discovery Pass, and we were serviced by Supreen. She made us feel welcomed and greeted us with a smile. She was very knowledgeable on the pairing and the different wines we were interested in. We ended up buying 6 bottles, but their wines are fabulous. Well worth the money. Later on in the evening, we went back for pizza and more wine. It was the perfect ending for our long day.”

“Enjoyed a fabulous event-Caps, Corks and Forks! A wonderful celebration of student achievement at a first class institution. We were most impressed. Exceeded expectations!”
“The food was just perfect. The portions were great and truly filled me up to the brim. The staff were very nice and helpful. The price was reasonable and they had lots of great wine options. The gift shop is very nice and you can buy the wines you drink because everything is made right there.”

“We had a lovely anniversary lunch on the patio and dining room. We had to move inside quickly for a surprise summer storm, but the staff were wonderful in moving us. Fantastic food, great setting and I'd especially recommend it for US citizens because the exchange is heavily in our favor, making it an even better value. I loved the signature lobster linguine and the cheese and charcuterie board.”
“One of the best fine dining experiences we have had. Everything from the service , the food , the ambiance was top notch! Highly recommend and we will definitely return!!”

“We went for a wine tour on 12/7 for our anniversary at Trius and our tour guide was Barry who was exceptional!! Barry was professional, very knowledgeable and a great guide throughout our experience sharing stories, taking pictures for us and of course providing us with some great wine and cotton candy. I just wanted to thank Barry for making our experience amazing and perfect, so thank you so much for that!”
“Came here for a private function, and we had an absolutely amazing time. Every one of their staff members were great, the food was phenomenal and the night went so smoothly, because of the staff's work. Cannot thank the team enough and cannot recommend this place.enough for any memorable event”
“One of the best meals we've had in a very long time! From the innovative brassica salad with blueberries, baby kale, shaved kohlrabi, and chopped pecans to the perfectly seasoned and prepared sirloin with assorted mushrooms, excellent asparagus, confît-ed fingerling potatoes, every bite was perfect. Our dinner companions had roasted duck breast with confit duck leg and local veg, and roasted spatchcock chicken with succotash that included edamame and wood ear mushrooms. Wow. We tasted and enjoyed everything. Decadent desserts, new takes on traditional cocktails, local wines, and outstanding attentive service with a smile make this a restaurant we will return to as often as we can. ❣️❣️❣️”

“Dropped in for an unexpected tasting with no high expectations! Charlotte was great and the wines were very good. Better yet they had their Grand Reserve Red on sale for $20 (reg $45). Keeping a lookout for more sales!”

“We were visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake and stumbled upon this place for breakfast — what a gem! I was specifically craving a homestyle meal, and this place delivered perfectly. The poached eggs were spot on, and the eggs Benedict was delicious — they kindly removed the meat and added an extra egg with fresh tomatoes on top. My husband and kid also loved the Belgian waffle, absolutely to die for! Cozy, welcoming vibes and lovely service. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town.”
“We were visiting NOTL and heard many good things about GH so we thought we would give it a try. We both had the Friday night special fish and chips. It was delicious!! The batter was light and the fish was thick and a very good sized portion. We will definitely be back!!”
“Recently found out I couldn’t eat gluten anymore. It was hard to find a birthday cake especially on a holiday. Nina’s was open and I got the carrot cheese cake which was good however it could have been a little more moist. I’m still getting use to all this gluten free stuff. A bit expensive but I’ll be back to try other things.

“My cousin and I had the most genuine experience at Play Bar and Grill for dinner tonight.
Our server Molly was delightful! She was funny and genuine which was a refreshing experience to have in the restaurant atmosphere. Although she was busy, she always made the effort to check in on us to ensure we were satisfied with our meals.
The two male servers (sorry, I didn’t catch your names) who were assisting Molly were great too! They were funny.
Overall, it was a great time and we’ll be back again for more customer service like Molly’s!”
“It's one of my favorite bake shops to visit when I'm at Niagara-on-the-lake👌 if you like eating British pastries, baked goods, and sweets, you will not be disappointed.
The cinnamon buns are huge and will definitely do 2 people as well the Scones, which come in a variety of flavors. I love almost everything they have to offer 😋
It is busy on weekends and throughout summer. Street parking is available. The staff are very efficient in serving customers .
I'll be back in the summer 🫠”

“Dinner with friends, food and service were excellent. The calamari was one of the best I've had in years. The gnocchi with Gorgonzola was superb. We enjoyed every part of the meal.
Only negative is they only serve Ontario wine by the glass and it's overpriced. I've had Caymus Cab Sauv, for less than what is charged for a basic Ontario Wine”
“Great air conditioning food court. Contains various restaurants, food trucks and food stores. The taste was also well maintained. I visited a NYF newly opened store. Well known specially for fries. One of my friends works there named Vedanshi. Helpful staff for guidance and food selection.
Parking: There is a huge parking lot available for lots of cars.”
“The girl behind the counter was careful with preparing the food and polite. She wasn’t the fastest sandwich maker but she was neat and clean. She made sure to do a good job so I didn’t mind waiting a little bit. The place seems clean.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.
Dietary restrictions: Sure. Just tell them what you need and they can customize.”
“WOW! Super yummy!! We make crepes all of the time at home, but nothing beats these! They’re large, and perfectly sweet. Very filling! They also sell beautiful, and colourful gelato. I can’t wait for our next trip to the Outlets to get it again.
The gentleman running the restaurant is lovely! He’ll make it exactly as you like.”
“They consistently make great drinks and get the orders right. I had made a mistake on my mobile order on Friday evening and meant to get an iced drink but had accidentally ordered it hot. I asked if it could be iced and they were more than accommodating and I overheard one employee answer another who questioned if it was ordered iced and they had said that “it doesn’t matter how it was ordered, if they want it iced we will give them iced.” I apologized at least 3 times as I felt bad and like a pain, but the same employee who I overheard gave me the drink and was very friendly and was so nice when I apologized again. Would definitely recommend this location. Great drinks and awesome service! Always clean and they have a quick moving drive thru.”
“Great wine & service. The owner was very nice. They sell delicious short bread cookies, the proceeds go to a women’s shelter.”
“Stopped in for a tasting on our way to Niagra Falls and Riverview Winery was an amazing find along the way! The staff was attentive and very knowledgeable, and we loved learning about their family-run winery!”

“My husband and I visited Niagara on the Lake for the first time yesterday. We stopped into Fritters on the Lake and were absolutely so impressed. Not only was the lunch recommendation on point; the fritters were absolutely amazing. However, the best thing ever was the service! Zoran was the kindest person ever and when I spoke to my family by phone later in the day-he was the first one I told them about. I’m not sure when I’ll make it back but Fritters on the Lake will be my first stop and everyone that is headed that way will have my highest recommendation. Thank you for being such a wonderful soul and those fritters certainly are YUM! -A forever customer from Columbus, Ohio (USA).”
“I was thrilled that Jossel was able to customize my order. She and her coworker made Halloween fingers! They were a huge hit at my Halloween party! The fingers were paired with a variety of dips. So delicious!! I was delighted that Jossel and her co worker went out of their way to accommodate my specific request. Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated. Lena”
“Such a charming little spot! The gelato flavors were really nice, and the pastries were delicious—not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Prices are a bit on the higher side, and we were hoping to see more creative pistachio-themed options on the menu. That said, if you're a big fan of pistachio gelato, this place is definitely worth a try.”
“Hands down, one of the finest craft breweries in North America. I have been a fan since they started their degree program in 2010. It has been a pleasure to follow their graduates as they move to prominent breweries in Canada and beyond. They have a permanent lineup of core beers that represent major lagers and ales from around the world. My favourite is their Strong Ale 101, a classic Scotch Ale. Most interesting to me are the small batch beers brewed by the students. The creativity and quality are extraordinary. A recent roster included 2 German Kolsch variants, a peach ale, a stylized Belgian Brown ale and a German Dunkelweizen. In the past, students released English spiced winter ales and the best Hefeweizen brewed outside Germany that I have ever tasted. Their Growler Club is a bargain. For the past 5 years or so, I convinced my family to spring for a membership to celebrate my birthday and Fathers Day. Free seminars, discounted merch, free tastings and 1 complimentary growler fill per month! Plus a free excuse to visit once a month to sample the exclusive Growler Club brew. They are currently shut down because of the Pandemic, but I encourage beer afficionados in Ontario to sample their wares by placing a phone order. Shipping is free or nominal in Ontario. Just to show my continued support, I actually made the 2+ hour round trip yesterday to pick up a case of assorted beers. Their seminars have transitioned to a Zoom based format. You can even sample along with the speaker by ordering the target beers for each session. Moderated by master brewers on staff, they are well worth attending.”
“I go to this Wendy's once a week or two on average, because the service and food quality are consistently good; few errors/issues over the years.
I've taken one star away, because this Wendy's and its staff never put mustard on the burgers; they provide mustard packets instead! The day of this review update, I ordered two single burgers and got only two little mustard packets for my burgers.
Convenient drive-thru for take out orders.
I often order using the Wendy's mobile app, but it's still buggy and sometimes frustrating. However, functionality with saved/favourite items seems to be better now.
Usually, we are ordering burgers & fries for the family, but also enjoy the chicken burgers and salads.
Perhaps most importantly, this Wendy's always gives me some of the most delicious fries, when I ask for the fries to be "extra crispy, double-downed" - be prepared to wait EXTRA LONG if you do so - the longer it takes to bring those fries, the better!”
“I had eaten sub on various locations but mostly I like this location because the breads are fresh and soft. Employees make sandwich according to me and they behave friendly and speak in a very polite way. The customer service is very fast. The one most important thing is that they wear new gloves before making the sandwich. I recommend to all when you have cravings for eating sandwich, go on this location.”
“Seriously they make the best chicken burger. I had the chicken burger (grilled) with coleslaw, pickles and mayo (regular instead of chipotle) and it was absolutely one of the tastiest I’ve ever had! The staff were all excellent too. Very friendly and helpful. The kids enjoyed the poutine, which was delicious and a huge serving!”
“We stopped in for breakfast today on our way home from an overnight stay in Niagara on the lake. The older gentleman working the register was great. We watched how kind and patient he was with a family in front of us who seemed like tourists from out of country and whose first language was not English. It took a while for them to place their order yet he was polite and helpful. When it was our turn, he was friendly and social, and we even had a laugh about my drink order, which was an iced latte with no ice!! I appreciate his service as it’s Thanksgiving today and he’s working and he did it with a smile on his face. If only there were more people like him, working in customer service.”
“Great for hosting a party! We had Greg’s 60th there. The party room holds 30 people. We had 22. We had pizza and wings. Veggie Pizza there is so delicious! Mel, our server, was the best! So personable and helpful all night!!!❤️”
“We were visiting NOTL and heard many good things about GH so we thought we would give it a try. We both had the Friday night special fish and chips. It was delicious!! The batter was light and the fish was thick and a very good sized portion. We will definitely be back!!”
“We had a great time! Our closest 17 friends who we call Butler Brews enjoyed every second! We watched a wedding, had great food paired with some great beers! The staff was amazing and I’m pretty sure are now my new BFf! So much fun!”
“Everything my date and myself had here was absolutely fantastic! The meatballs, the pastas, and frutti di Mare. the Tiramisu, the coffee.”
“It's my second time there with my partner and it always feels good, last time we were in a dome room, lots of fun and learned a lot, this time we did a tour of the property and that was good... try the peach wine”
“We visited here yesterday, just before going to the show and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Good selection of brews on tap, across the spectrum of styles. They also had a very nice selection of one off sours, in bottles, to sell. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. We learned a lot while chatting with him. We loved the clean, modern look of the bar area. We did not get upstairs to the patio, but we will do that next time. What a great place. We will definitely return.”

“We stopped in for lunch while exploring Niagara on the Lake. It was a great choice! We were forewarned that our food may take up to 30 minutes to arrive due to an influx of theater patrons. We opted to wait it out and were pleasantly surprised to receive our order within less that 10 minutes. My wife and I both ordered the turkey sandwich and spent an inordinate amount of time reminiscing about how good it was. The portion and freshness of the meat was quite impressive.”
