Love this restaurant, the staff are very nice and friendly. The food is so tasty and portion wise quite large (2 people can share one meal). It has a very nice vibe, really like how cute and cozy is. Will be back for sure

This is hands down the best German restaurant in the whole country. The food and service is spectacular. It was our first time in this town and we were recommended to go here by a local and I’m extremely happy we ended up going here. This is going down as one of my favourite restaurants of all time. I can’t wait to be back and try more of the food on the menu!

We absolutely love this place and have been a few times but we decided to have my family go for my parents 50th Anniversary. They don't usually take reservations but after contacting them, the owner made an exception for me and had the tables reserved for us. We were so appreciative for this. I also had a custom cake that a brought and get were amazing by taking it and keeping it in the back for us until after dinner and they brought it out for my parents. The customer service was beyond incredible. They were also fine with us bringing a few decorations for the tables.
The food was amazing as always and the atmosphere is always incredible. Just a very friendly, welcoming little restaurant.

Thank you again.

This was the best restaurant we have been to in a long time! Michelle and her coworkers (I unfortunately did not get their names) were absolutely amazing! The service was impeccable! The food was all to die for! We ordered a lot so that we could try a little of everything and every single dish was absolutely wonderful. I wanted to go back the very next day! We will definitely be returning to this amazing little gem!

Fantastic cozy restaurant. The wife and I had a lovely date here the other night.

Call 20 minutes ahead to ask about availability of seating as this restaurant does not take reservations.

If you are so lucky as to dine in at this quaint restaurant you are greeted with nothing but bright smiles from the staff. The restaurant itself is a cozy and eclectic space, yet radiates a vibrant atmosphere with the people dining in.

The food is nothing short of delicious, I highly recommend the Latkas & Gravlax if you are fond of fish, plus it’s a decent meal size. The menu is full of various different German cuisine all as authentic as you can get outside of Germany itself, which I can testify to, so if that’s what you’re seeking you will not be disappointed- but be ready to wait because good food takes time, and there’s no exceptions for this restaurant. The bar was beautiful and the drinks solid. The dessert menu was good, short, but out of the options I recommend the Apple Strudel, it’s hard to find a good Strudel, but the search ends with this one. My company and I got one dish each, a main and a dessert with around 2 drinks each and it rang into around the 60-80$ range for price.

All in all this was an excellent dining experience and a lovely little restaurant I will be recommending to anyone in the area, and I will definitely be coming back here on my next visit.

My experience today at KaiserHaus was one of the most notable restaurant experiences I've had all year. Michelle, our server, did a fantastic job walking us through their wine list. She poured me a sample of Drea's Riesling, which was simply stunning. My mind was set on the Dornfelder Rosé created by Andrea Kaiser and I was pleasantly surprised by its quality and characteristics. For my meal, I ordered the Gravlax with latkes and was blown away by the quality. The acidity in the pickled onions, paired with the sour cream and cured salmon was truly notable. I would recommend ordering the Riesling with the Gravlax, I just couldn't stop thinking about Canada's only Dornfelder Rosé; I simply had to try it. After the meal, it had me thinking of the Kaiser family and their contribution to the Niagara food & drink scene - truly remarkable stuff. I really look forward to coming back for a Sachertorte and red wine. Chapeau!

It was one of those rare, glorious autumn days where the air was crisp but not cold enough to steal your soul. The kind of day that makes you think, "Yes, the world hasn’t completely gone to hell just yet." I was walking along the park in Port Dalhousie, arm-in-arm with an attractive lady who could have stepped out of some wild dream, when we stumbled upon the KaiserHaus. A charming little place with just the right blend of old-world allure and modern civility.

We wandered in, drawn by its promise like moths to a flame, and were greeted by a warm, welcoming staff that had the air of people who actually gave a damn. The interior? Immaculate. You could tell they put thought into every corner. And that patio—ah, yes—quaint and perfect for people-watching. The kind of spot where you can lose hours just watching the world spin by. They even had blankets, just in case the autumn chill tried to creep in, but on this perfect day, they weren't needed.

Now, let’s talk food. My date opted for the goulash, a bowl so rich and hearty it could’ve revived a dead man. I, on the other hand, went for the schnitzel sandwich and kettle chips. Pure genius on a plate. Both dishes hit the mark, perfectly complementing the fall atmosphere like a well-played hand of cards.

And as for how the day ended? Well, let’s just say that the food wasn’t the only thing that exceeded expectations. KaiserHaus delivered, in more ways than one.

Can be a little pricey, but you can beat a dinner by the port on a summer evening. The food is delicious, well-crafted and presented.

The service has always been very professional and friendly. A bonus that wasn’t expected is a wonderful wine selection so you can a nice pairing for your entree no sweat.

Whether you’re here for a light bite or in the mood for a full course you’ll be able to find something you like and satisfy your craving.
