“This is my favourite restaurant and I go here any time there is something to celebrate. The food is superb and is updated according to what’s in season, the staff are incredibly warm and professional, and the atmosphere itself is modern yet cozy. I’ve been here numerous times and they’ve exceeded my expectations every time.”
“What an amazing experience. Some of the best food I’ve had in my life. Don’t get me started on Yoshi. To say he went above and beyond was an understatement. Our Tomoko was also very lovely. Not one bad thing to say about this establishment.”
“My favorite winery in Niagara on the lake. It’s not only a beautiful organic farm but the owner is present and so passionate about each wine you’re tasting. He sat down with us the last two times when we were visiting. Love the Chardonnay, rose and sparkling wines offered. Always one of my stops when I’m in the NOTL region. Keep up the great work Southbrook!!”
“An unforgettable experience! Fernanda was amazingly responsive and easy to coordinate with for my proposal, and Galina gave us an excellent winery tour. She set up a stunning candlelit space that made the moment truly magical. Thank you to the wonderful team for helping us celebrate such a major milestone! Will definitely be back.”
“What a fabulous pub, the food and drinks were great but the staff are outstanding. We went for dinner/drinks 2 nights in a row when we were in Niagara on the lake celebrating our anniversary. 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 loved our visit to this winery! We booked the Sip and Shop and from the time we arrived the staff was so welcoming and friendly. Once seated Savannah took care of us and she was so nice and very knowledgeable about the menu and had some great recommendations. Very relaxed and warm atmosphere highly recommend visiting!”
“We visited today for The Ice Wine Festival, Dimitri (from Pig Out) was a great and friendly young man and passionate about what he was presenting to us- roasted pig, which was amazing! Jeff from Reif was also very accommodating with the lovely Ice wine for The Ice wine Festival. With visits like this it makes for a wonderful afternoon! Thank you Guys!”
“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.”

“Super contenti di avervi trovati qui in Canada, durante la nostra luna di miele. Abbiamo avuto l’opportunità di mangiare un buonissimo e sofficissimo cornetto ripieno di crema alla nocciola, davvero super 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 e soprattutto abbiamo avuto modo di bere, finalmente, un caffè e cappuccino ITALIANO!!!”
“What an amazing afternoon with a grand royal structured property, outstanding patio overlooking delicious vineyards and delectable wines. The cheese dots were cheesy heaven and left us satiated.
However the best part of our experience by far was Mirada. She was attentive, energetic and left us feeling her great vibe for the rest of the afternoon. She was so amazing we just decided to skip our next Vineyard.
Her service was outstanding coupled with the beautiful backdrop and delicious wines equals a wonderful afternoon-we will be back”

“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).”

“Large selection of Henry of Pelham premium white and red wines, plus ice wine”
“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!”

“A peaceful stop with a great outdoor shaded seating area overlooking the farms. The tasting was well-organized with four separate glasses per person, and the staff gave wonderful, detailed explanations about the company's history and their ice wine harvesting. While the lunch and the wine pours were a bit on the light side, it didn't feel overly commercial at all. Overall, a great, informative, and relaxing experience!”
“We enjoyed the three-course tasting menu at Benchmark! Our server Pauline was incredibly helpful in explaining the different dishes and helping us decide what to select. The food was absolutely delicious. So many delicious and unique flavours! I enjoyed the Cornish Hen, the Winter Chicory Salad and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The sourdough bread was also so incredibly fresh and delicious. This was a fantastic opportunity to try unique dishes at an affordable price while supporting our local students. The future of the Niagara culinary world is bright!”
“We were there for our anniversary dinner. Warm greeting from our hostess and were welcomed to our table with a glass of champagne. Very nice. We had the 3 course tasting menu, opting for the lobster linguine for our main. The linguine is spectacular! A must try if you like lobster! Our appetizers were ok, I had the ham hock which I didn't really enjoy, and my husband had the tuna, which was tasty. We loved our server - wish I could remember her name! Dessert was also very good.”
“The food is tasty. The Table for Two prix fixe menu is a great value ($140). We are a party of five. And Everyone got the prix fixe menu. They just charged us two and half. The servers were great and attentive. The kitchen was a little slow, however. The dinner took three hours, and we had to rush to catch the fireworks at the falls by ten o'clock. But overall we enjoyed the dinner experience, and would love to go back.”
“Came down to visit some friends in the Niagara Region. My good friend Matt works here and invited us to come for a tasting. Wine is not typically my drink of choice but the selection here was very good. After we were invited to a quick tour of the winery by a lovely lady named Teanna, she was very impressive with her knowledge and had good in depth answers to all my questions, and overall a very nice person. In short I highly recommend coming in here if you have an hour or two to kill, great vibes and great staff!”
“Great staff and customer service. Staff are very knowledgeable! Stocked up on our favourite wines for Xmas gifts and now their New Sangria’s where do I begin with those, The Sempre sparkling wine is Amazing. Love when you open the door to their establishment you are welcomed with the smell of wine. It’s so familiar feels like you are at home celebrating with your big Italian family and catching up with your relatives. That is my experience .”

“I picked a peach scone and chocolate croissant, both ended up being excellent choices! The peach scone was moist and had just the right amount of glaze with peach chunks. The chocolate croissant was light, buttery and had just the perfect amount of chocolate to enjoy. Service was polite and courteous. Would recommend!”
“This is a Top Knotch Local Place to eat at with Food that is Out of This World!!!! It has had the same Owners for 30 years and most of their Staff has been there for 15 years or longer! Tammi was our Waitress and she was Phenomenal❣️
We're headed back to Nashville Tennessee in the morning but if and when we came back to Niagra We WIll go back!!!”
“We popped in to the patio yesterday for drinks and snacks and we were looked after by Miranda who went above and beyond to look after us. We were sitting on the lower patio so Miranda had a long way to come ro serve us. Service was prompt and Miranda was a joy to talk to White Oaks has a gem in Miranda.”
“Elevated pub food doesn't even begin to describe how delicious our lunch was! My husband had the fish of the day (artic char) and I had the beef short ribs.I never knew I liked brussel sprouts until now... and the beef was so tender, I could cut it with my fork! And our server was awesome.”
“One of my favorite restaurants in the Niagara region. The beef dip sandwich was amazing and the grilled cheese sandwich was excellent as well. The staff was very friendly. Overall 10/10 restaurant!”
“My wife and I went for the first time everything we heard about it is true. The atmosphere the service the food is outstanding. This is a place you don’t want to mess put it on your list if you want to try and upbeat friendly and great food atmosphere”

“We feel in love the first time we visited while looking for our wedding venue, and every step of the way Jackie and her team went above and beyond to make sure we had an absolutely perfect day. Fantastic food, breathtaking views, a perfect location, a great team, and felt like an incredible value for what we got. Can't wait to come back for brunch when we celebrate an anniversary!”
“The food was beyond exquisite!!!! We ordered the Crispy Ravioli, Steak, and Espresso Martini Mocha cheesecake. Our sever whose name unfortunately I can't recall, was Amazing from start to finish, attending to my husband and myself always with a smile and exuding such warm and positive energy!!!! She was readily available to us throughout our mea and included acomplimentary champagne for us to toast our upcoming 18th Wedding Anniversary. l. All and all, we had a great experience at Play Bar & Grill, and will most certainly be back!!!!”
“Brushfire Smoke BBQ - and maybe more specifically, John Vetere - have this insane way of taking what would appear to be divergent approaches and flavor profiles and turning out magical dish after magical dish. The brisket is always spot on and one of the best I've had. The Szechuan Chicken Sandwhich is one of those mash-ups where Nashville meets Asia in perfect harmony. Combine all this with a great range of beers from Oast House and you may even forget Niagara also makes wine 👏👨🍳🐄🐓🐖”
“Went here with my girlfriend for the first time last year. Now it's one of my go to places for either pizza or subs in Niagara. Love their assorted sub, chicken parmesan sub and pepperoni pizza which goes great with their garlic dip. Highly recommend Italian pizza and subs.”
“A quaint and cozy restaurant with very British Vibes.
Food- First off, any English restaurant has to get Fish and Chips right. They don't disappoint, not too doughy not too greasy.
Hot chocolate was excellent.
The burgers were massive and tasty.
Like the sweet potato fries.
Service-Lily was super friendly and attentive. She told about the decor books.
Atmosphere-great feel and decor.”
“We had tickets for a show and couldn't make a reservation on line so we took our chances and started asking at restaurants near the theatre. Booked, booked, booked. (I was with two seniors and one had mobility difficulties).
When we walked into The Noble, Laura at the front desk was warm, kind, and incredibly understanding. She checked and was able to accommodate us and from that moment on, the experience just kept getting better.
Our server, Graham, was fantastic, friendly, funny, and attentive and not overbearing. The food was absolutely delicious from the first bite to the very last forkful. We were also treated to an amuse-bouche that was so good I would happily order it if it were added to the menu! Graham even arranged a shuttle to the theatre for us, which was an unexpected gesture that made the evening so much easier, especially given our circumstances.
Based on our experience, I can only conclude that the staff at The Noble truly go above and beyond for their guests. The three of us agreed that we'll definitely be back.
Thank you to Laura, Graham, Bill, the manager and the entire team for turning what started as a stressful evening into such a memorable dining experience.”

Cheap Eats
“Visited today and there was a man working, the only man, and he was on top of it! Taking people’s order and making it for them at the same time, I was not able to get his name because of how busy it was but I wanted to leave a review and say he’s doing an amazing job and keep it up!”
“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.”
“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 a fantastic experience today, all thanks to Suman! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. My sandwich was made perfectly—she paid great attention to detail and ensured all the ingredients were evenly spread, truly making it look like a piece of art. Even when the line started to get busy, she remained calm, efficient, and professional, managing the flow without rushing the quality of my order. Give Suman a raise, because she delivers exceptional customer service and makes the best Subway sandwich I've had in a long time!”
“It's a good Tim's
I like to go there. Grab a coffee. Sometimes a donut sometimes a muffin but you know it's Timmy's. Sometimes they drive through sometimes I walk in and order my food pick up sometimes. I'll sit there and enjoy my coffee. Very good. Tim,
coffee good...”
“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!”

“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!!!❤️”
“Best Indian food in the region, and a very eclectic menu to satisfy any taste. Drinks are fabulous, food is incredible, and they really make you feel welcomed. Would give six stars if they’d let me.”
“Great place. Probably the best Hawaiian pizza I’ve ever had. The stave was quite amazing. I definitely recommend checking out this place.”

“Great service. Friendly and hospitable. Interesting tasting experience.”

“This is a take out location only with no dining area. It is super close to my parent's home and has become our go to pizza place for when we are craving a Supreme Pizza. We order online (to get the deal of the day .... not sure why Pizza Hut only offers so many of their deals online only but that is a Pizza Hut directive not a location decision and worst comes to worst you can always use the app on your mobile from the parking lot if needs be!) and by the time I arrive the pizza is rolling out of the oven. The crust is always crispy, the toppings abundant and the cheese melty!
The staff is always cheerful and ready to help if people are looking to order at the counter and wait.
I have never had a bad pizza here but I have some that are more exceptional than usual! Thank you for having an amazing team that produces an amazing product!”
