“We just had lunch. I’ll breakdown the dishes, service and my overall impression and come to a conclusion.We had 3 dishes …I had the Salmone e Asiago. While I’m not a fan of risotto, this risotto was filled with little pieces of shrimp which was a delightful surprise. I liked it! Plus, the salmon was encrusted with a light layer of bread crumbs and Asiago cheese. It was tasty. I received a bit of veggie, carrots & zuchinni. My only preference would have been to include the salmon skin for the extra omega 3s and some extra crunch but, as is common in North American cuisine, nobody wants to do the extra work and descale the fish. My only small pet peeve and frankly I’m not targeting Just Cooking. Many, many places do this. Even many grocery stores won’t descale and, left to our own devices, we throw the skin out rather than descale. But I digress!My Mom ordered the “Fish soup”. While not on the menu, it’s served as a “Special” and is well known among the locals. They accommodated us and prepared it with plenty of fish and a good variety of vegetables. She really enjoyed it.My Sweetie order the Penne special. Her review is separate. She loved it.We ordered one tiramasu because they said “it’s big”. It was “big” and, as a dude in his 50s, I can’t see eating this by myself anymore and maintaining my svelte figure! Haha … it was delish!Service was cheerful. The ladies tried to please.Overall, I was surprised. Generally, I find restaurants outside Toronto are less competitive. They charge more for less. Was that the case here? No! For $30-$40 a plate at a full service restaurant outside Toronto, it seemed reasonable and it was tasty. They tried and did a good job. Can we ask for more?Just one last small request. Warm up the starter bread. “You don’t get a 2ⁿᵈ chance to make a good 1ˢᵗ impression.” Many places don’t. Here’s your chance to “stand out among the crowd”! ?”
“Everything is delicious!! The staff are absolutely fantastic! I am addicted to this bakery. I highly recommend everything there. They also have a cute, cozy cafe area.”
“We went to this place for easter sunday, and yes I gave the atmosphere a 4, only cause its really cramped, but on a beautiful summer day sitting outside would top it.Now with the food, normally I would have a picture to show off the amazing food, but it smelt or good and I just dived into it.The food was incredible and the Röstis they served was amazing, I wish there was more.The service ill quickly touch on. You can can it a proper upscale diner. There is locals and you can tell they remember them. Have zero complaints about the service I have recieve at Ravalee”
“There is no eat in....they come outside to meet you and that's where you pick up....no going inside. Parking is limited . Owner and staff were pleasant. I only ordered a pepperoni pizza..so I can't comment on other food served there. It was ok...nothing special. I found it to be a bit expensive for what you get.”
“We were at the Vineland Estates Winery for my Birthday, where we went on a wine and food pairing tour and enjoyed dinner at the Winery. Our guide for the wine and food pairing was amazing. She was able to answer all our questions and seems like she loves her job. The restaurent atmosphere was good and welcoming, and the food was amazing and was a great value for the price. You can get a 3 course meal for $70 and you can pay an extra $30 for wine pairing. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back.”
“Leashed dogs are totally welcome at this older looking, rustic farmhouse. Everything about the place is comfortable. The porch overlooks the vineyards. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Did I mention that there’s wine?I prefer red wine and got a four sample flight for $15. The wine I tried was delicious, although I’m definitely not an expert. We enjoyed the Cabernet Franc and the Cabernet Sauvignon and picked up a couple of bottles to bring home.It’s a very different vibe from some of the other Niagara vineyards with their posh and imposing buildings. We have visited a couple of times and with certainly go back.”
“Beautiful food I had the quiche and it was delicious. Lovely staff. Spent a pleasant couple of hours yesterday sitting on the patio with a glass of sparkling rose”
“Today was the first time I visit this place and I love middle eastern food I tried in so many places in Ontario but nothing like this, the guy who cash me out who made it was awesome and can recommend this to everyone please if your hungry go there!Honest opinion best shawarma I ever had?”
“The vegetarian plate was delicious! Fresh, authentic Latin food. The service was extremely friendly and portion sizes generous. I would recommend calling ahead to place your order as the food is fresh”
“Unfortunately I cannot get sushi anywhere else since I found this place. The money that I earn working 24/7 moves to their pockets regularly. However, I am willing to get bankrupt to have sushi here. More than the best all round, taste, service, freshness, amount, and price. Please keep in mind that we should let them be in Niagara FOREVER.”
“This place is the best of the 3 bubble tea joints in the west side, the only one with popping pearls, the only one with a homey atmosphere (couch and TV) and a staff deserving of all the praise in the neighbourhood. Yipin Fruit Tea, is for me.”
“Went for a random lunch, stunning atmosphere with amazing views on the pond and ravine in the back. Great service, made us feel very wellcomed. I had a steak and frites which was excellent and cooked to perfection while my partner had the full chefs daily menu and she was absolutely satisfied. Great value for the flight of wines and generous pours. Will definitely come back.”
“Blows every pita pit out of the water! If you love a great salad with lots of variety this is your place. The staff are absolutely wonderful, steph is an incredible manager. 1000/10.”
“Excellent restaurant in a beautiful setting. Enjoyed a delicious appetizer terrine of ham hock layered with collard leaf followed by simple but elegant duck breast entree, cooked to perfection. What a treat to find such attention to detail. Better yet, kitchen was happy to accommodate low carb (which is so easy because it's just swapping out starchy carbs). Very much appreciated the flexibility. Well done, everyone!Dietary restrictions: Keto friendlyLow carb friendlyCarnivore friendlyPaleo friendly”
“I went through the drive thru on February 18, 2024. I was so impressed by the friendly service and the professionalism by the team. I was very impressed by Shilpa. She helped me pick a coffee that I have not tried before. I will definitely be back for a Latte .”
“First time visiting the Lake House and it was amazing! The food was fantastic. I had cod and my husband had the octopus, plus tart for dessert. Service was great - our server was Gigi.. loved her! She was funny and attentive. There were lots of staff and everyone seemed to be efficient and enjoying their jobs!My only disappointment was our table location.. a lot of walk by traffic (my husband got clipped a couple times) and we had zero view of the lake. I booked a couple weeks in advance but I would try to ask for a better spot next time.”
“I thought to myself “no way there’s a 5 star Pho place in St Catherine’s.I was wrong. This place deserves more stars.As a Vietnamese person, this is better than my mom’s home made stuff.This is now my go to. Drive 30 min is well worth it.”
“It was like nothing we have ever had before. Your tastebuds will explode and thank you! Highly recommend! The staff was great and made you feel like royalty.Dietary restrictions: I have a severe food allergy and they were extremely accommodating.”

“Stopped in at 13th Street today, to pick up their delicious butter tarts. Grabbed them, along with this mini carrot cake. WOW - this little cake is amazing. The cake was moist and full of flavour and the cream cheese icing was a 10/10. Want some amazing baking. Stop in at 13th Street. A niagara gem.”

Service was good and very friendly. We will definitely be going back for dinner next time. Thank you for a great first experience and on this special occasion. Dessert was amazing!”

“Walked in for a special leap day dinner (special because I proposed, and she said yes!) and my partner and I were so impressed! The food and drinks were incredible, and the staff were absolutely phenomenal! Big shout out to Noah for making the evening an absolute joy! We're committed to making it a tradition to come back each month to see what new delicious treats are on the menu! For anyone checking these reviews, Cured is a MUST TRY!”
“We had a wine tasting and a charcuterie board. The wine was superb and beautifully paired with the meats and cheese. The excellent service and attention we received made the afternoon one that will be remembered. We'll be back!!”
