    I took my friend out for lunch to celebrate her birthday. We were started with champagne by a delightful server. We shared the pate board and pomme frites and each had the small Ragu. The food was top notch and the price was good.

    Hello Susan, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're very glad you enjoyed your overall dining experience at Oaklands. I'm sorry your friend didn't enjoy the Cod dish. As I explained the other night. It is a very subtle dish meant to have different temperatures and textural components. Of course, this isn't to everyone's liking. We hope you and your friends can join us again and we will try to ensure everyone has a dish they will enjoy. All the best, Annette & The Oaklands Team.

    It was a beautiful sunny fall day for a drive to Niagara on the Lake and our first time to Riverbend to enjoy lunch. Everything from the cocktails to the scrumptious mushrooms on toast and steak au poivre, polished off with great wine were excellent. Least I forget our server whose sense of humour and kind service ranked this a 5 star experience. Thank you! Julie and Walter PS please thank our server for taking such great pictures especially the last one…. LOL

    I brought my partner to Oaklands for breakfast as part of his birthday present, and it was an amazing experience. They provided complimentary mimosas for us to celebrate and they were very good with fresh squeezed juice. He ordered the mushrooms on toast which was very tasty and well presented. I ordered the sorbet power bowl, which is probably the best breakfast item I have ordered anywhere. It was absolutely delicious and just so healthy looking and nutritious! They really did an outstanding job. Breakfast was nice as the restaurant was quiet making an intimate setting for the early morning.

    Would prefer a a la carte menu rather then prix fixe menu or a combination of both. Not thrilled with the choices for lunch. Not enough light dishes other then salad. The pasta dish was way to much for a lunch but very delicious. Preferred the choices on the old menus from past years. The staff is superb as is the restaurant itself. Thanks you.

    Disappointed in the boar paste and hamburger. Barely any meat with the boar and about a 5oz burger for $48 each with soup and desserts were very Good our waitress was delightful. The ambience-music and setting were superb. The bill came to $131 including tip-tax with a &50 coupon already subtracted. Recommend to a friend. If they are willing to pay the high prices then absolutely yes

    Dear Mr. Wheeler, Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed your overall experience with us for your lunch at Oaklands. Just as a note to clarify our portions. The Wild boar made with fresh Tagliatelle pasta and has a ragu made entirely out of boar and mushrooms. Our burger is weighed daily, when we portion it out and it's 6.5 oz. We take great pride in offering value for money including providing great service and ambience. All the Best, Annette & The Oaklands Team.

    Hands down the best restaurant we visited during our stay at Niagara Falls, and by far also the most value for money compared to other restaurants. The food is amazing and the staff is attentive and kind, would recommend to anyone!!

    This is the first time we’ve been since the new management. The space is refreshed and comfortable, with a good view of the outdoor space and the vineyard beyond, and a nice vista of Peller Estate. The service was excellent throughout, but the food has improved by leaps and bounds since our last visit a decade ago. This will be our new favourite spot for fine dining in the NOTL area.
