Our waiter was amazing! (Geoffrey) Our party was almost 30 mins late and he took it all in stride and not once rushed us. Food was amazing and atmosphere was cool and refreshing!

As always, we had a terrific dinner. The food is innovative and beautifully prepared and presented, and the service is friendly and efficient. There are also daily specials which are delicious, and a price fix menu if you wish. It’s a great choice if you are going to an event at the Performing Arts Centre as it is a stone’s throw away. Highly recommend it.

Absolutely delicious food! Went here for the first time last night before a concert and had a fabulous meal with some unique cocktails! The service was excellent and we loved the vibe and the artwork! Would definitely recommend for those looking for a great dining experience ?

What an underwhelming and disappointing experience. We ordered the Prix Fix menu, which in hindsight was a big mistake. The texture of the lentil soup was grainy and unappealing. The kale salad was not great and the fish was OK. The best thing we ate was the spetzle dish, which was a pork chop...but the spetzle and the sauce were the best things on the plate. We didn't even want the desserts, but we were paying for them (so we took them). Also underwhelming. The server was prentencious and had a bad vibe....not at all like the fun, nice guy we had previously. It's a nice room, but it was empty. The chef looked very skilled and walked past us several times. You'd think he could say "hello" given that we were the only ones there, but it seemed he followed the vibe of the server. The bill was over $250 and we only had 1 drink each. Totally not worth it.
Such a beautiful place with a very welcoming atmosphere. The waiters and staff are very professional and friendly. The fried octopus was absolutely amazing!!!!

Thank you to Bolete Restaurant for going out of your way and making me a seafood boil even though it's not on your menu. The food was super delicious, portions were great. My family and I really enjoyed it. I would recommend people to try one. They put what you want in it. Definitely will be ordering again.

While standing on St. Paul St. in St. Catherines looking for a good restaurant to dine in on the phone, a kind local recommended Bolete restaurant. My sister and I enjoyed a very delicious dinner in this spacious, artfully decorated, clean restaurant. The dinner exceeded our expectations! We had the Grilled Octopus and the Charred Plum and Greens for appetizers. We also had the Black Cod and Braised Chicken with Blackened Brussel sprouts. All were very delicious. Attentive and comfortable service. Loved to try other delicious another day. We met another local foodie/party girl on the way out. She also confirmed that this a beloved upscale restaurant patronized by the locals among a few other favorites. While this restaurant doesn't come up when we search for good restaurants in Niagara region, very likely because it is not on Open Tables, or did not pay the search engines. Try this place and you will be delighted as we were!

First time here - one of our favourite meals of all time. Oysters, truffle fries, pork belly and escargot for starters. (Best escargot I have had). Our mains were chicken supreme, cod and the short rib. Every single dish was perfect. Cocktails also delicious. (Highly recommend the New York Sour). Lovely staff and nice atmosphere. A real gem in St Catharines. Highly recommend Bolete
