Great service and professional staff. It was a little pricey, but the food was good. The Epicurean is located on the main street (Queen) in Niagara on the Lake; and everything here is priced slightly higher. Overall, it was a great meal and experience. I highly recommend the restaurant

Everything was amazing, except the lighting… it’s hard to dim those LED lights without an annoying flicker. But maybe we’re just too old to enjoy the “candlelight” effect😊 We had caprese salad, seafood linguini, ribs, and finished with espresso martinis… everything beautifully presented and delicious!

Despite having reserved a week earlier we were placed adjacent to the bathroom entrance at the very back of the room. The first table offered was so tight we could not both sit down. The reason given for the poor location was because a "bus tour arrived much earlier than expected". We understand this happens but perhaps they should have been seated at the back. Otherwise the experience was fine. The service was good and the food enjoyable.

I had read some mixed reviews on google so I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect as we walked in. It turned out to be a great experience with very good food and warm and friendly service. It was a Monday night so maybe a little quieter than it would normally be. We had three courses and rather than feel rushed with the courses coming one on top of the other our server asked us when we wanted each one. We had a wonderful relaxed meal. And it’s true the crab cakes are delicious and full of chunks of crab meat. Would definitely go back in the future
