We checked online for Weinkeller restaurant and were redirected to the sister restaurant WeinLokal. We decided to give it a shot. Food was fantastic, we got the mussels and burrata salad for starter and tomahawk pork chop/ baked salmon for main course. Cooked to perfection. Atmosphere needs a bit TLC and pls tell the gentleman playing live music his Guitar needs a bit tune up…lol
My friends and I were given a groupon after playing 18 holes at Thundering waters golf club, upon arrival there was a live guitarist that really set the mood. Staff friendly and food was fresh to order. Was disappointed with the mussels appetizer. Random French fries in the middle of the bowl. Anyway i Would return and recommend to try their local wine tasting options and beer flight options .
We enjoyed our meal. The calamari was perfectly cooked and the portion size was great for the price. It's a fantastic place to hang out, with clean surroundings and friendly staff.
A fancy spot, in the Cineplex parking lot! We ended up here after our reservations for Weinkeller were canceled due to a broken pipe. The menu was pretty similar, and had more options! We had a variety of appetizers and tapas, of which I really reccomend the Mussels and Truffle Fries, I wish I had gotten a second helping! Give the pepperoni crisps a go, but bring your friends; there’s lots of them! While we were a little underwhelmed by our entrees, they were still of stellar quality and taste! We will be back, but not before we give their sister location the Weinkeller, a visit!
Cool spot near the Cineplex. Nice atmosphere, they had a band and they have a good sized patio as well. Lokalrita which is their take on a margarita was very good! Had the calamari, it was ok, the mussels with fries were very tasty. We have burgers and a salad also. Burgers were just ok, nothing special the salad was excellent. We didn’t like the dressing options and just wanted oil and vinegar or balsamic which they didn’t have, they don’t have any olive oil, this was odd. Service was fast and very good, our waitress was very attentive. Overall a decent experience, could be great with a few changes. Sorry about the photos I forgot to take them until I was almost finished.
Definitely a must try!! The food, service and atmosphere were amazing! Started with the hummus and I had the pasta with blackened chicken and my husband had the seasonal flatbread. Everything was extremely fresh and perfectly presented and absolutely delicious!
What an incredible experience! Maddy made ours, and our dog experienced an unforgettable ❤️ one! We celebrated Father's Day with our family, the food was delicious 😋 and they had amazing wine and beer options all from local Niagara brewing distilleries! We finished all of our food, and our mom, who is very picky, really enjoyed the chicken Mediterranean pasta! Chef's kiss! We will be returning soon! Thank you again!
The weekend share platter is just so good! We were seated in the bar side, music started and we could still enjoy the night without it being too loud! Very well done! Great experience! We celebrated our 27th anniversary here!
Great place. Staff is great. Drinks are priced right. Food is yum.
I took a client out to dinner recently and we loved everything about it. Server was very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Had a birthday party here from the phone call I knew I made the right choice. Friendly and welcoming we got a nice private area with no one around it was so much fun !! Food was amazing would definitely recommend this place.staff was great and friendly :)
Great food, great service, great music but hands down, Jesse makes it an experience at the bar that s worth while! Check out this spot, you won t be disappointed.
We have been here quite a few times; either for supper or to sit and listen to the live music. All wonderful. However, Jesse the bartender makes our visit the most enjoyable. That man is talented and incredibly hardworking and sweet. Makes the best cocktails. Always a great smile!
I had the Goat Cheese Rissoto with squash, spinach and peas. My husband had the Brie Burger with side salad. To drunk was a diet soft drink and he had a beer. The food was delicious, nicely presented, and piping hot. Service was attentive and timely. For a nice night out with great food and drink the bill was only $65 including tax. We did find the entertainment loud for pleasant conversation but overall a great meal. We ll go back again. Parking: Plenty of parking at the door.
First time visiting as this restaurant was highly suggested online by the locals. Here is my honest opinion, we came in and there are 3 of us, we were greeted promptly and seated. We were not offered water at all and provided 1 drink menu when there are 3 of us which was not a big deal but coming from the restaurant industry; its odd. Lets move past it, the server wasn t very friendly but more neutral, did not explain or introduce any specials. She was gone most of the time and checked us once and seemed like in a rush. We get the appetizer and drinks, the food/drink are fantastic. The run time from appetizer to entree s were just right but lack of service and introduction to the place created a more of unknown/unwelcoming atmosphere. Evening sets as we came on the afternoon, we got a switch on servers and service did not improve, no checkups except to notify us of the switch. Slow and we had to wave the server to get dessert menu, instead of it being offered. The dessert was good but servers seem to lack experience in guest management. By the time we have coffee and desserts the restaurant was very cold and hostess kept staring at our booth but no check ups by anyone (just an awkward stare). We had to flag down the server to get water and to order more coffee. The server seemed lost and inexperienced (which if he s new makes sense and understandable). Overall id like to give this place another try as the food is definitely high quality but the lack of service and unwelcoming atmosphere made the place seem snobbish. Also when the first server was asked about the food, her knowledged seems to be non-existent and only stated that everything is made in house (which honestly probably is true from my experience working as a cook) but the lack of explanation is honestly disappointing at the very least. However, great job on the kitchen side 5/5 for them.
Im actually surprised I didnt get sick from the oysters.
We ate outside with a large group. The staff were rude except for the guy with the pretty long hair (thanks so much for all the help!) The food was good, but the portions for the Mediterranean pasta felt rather small for the price also keeping in mind the size of other plates.
Stopped by after a game of golf. Great service, food and atmosphere.
Had my birthday / anniversary dinner. Had live singer, he has a great voice and good tunes. Had New York Strip with Calamari as a Starter. Finally a perfectly cooked Steak at a restaurant. Fresh Calamari was amazing. The Scalloped taters were spot on. Fresh seasonal veggies. Peppercorn sauce on plate was perfect. Wife had a perfectly grilled Angus burger with fresh Caesar salad. Dessert was a SPOT ON CHEESECAKE, with a berry compote. Was awesome. I never eat dessert, but hey, that was delish!! Our Server Brandi was absolutely a delight. Made a fun Birthday meal and excellent service. Hats off to the Chef!! Rob and Judy.
The food was amazing but the service at no fault of the server was poor. This lady is working alone with a trainee on a Sunday. No bartender no one else but her definitely worth having more staff on the profit is there clearly
Good all around.
I m from Toronto and was driving by looking for a place to eat! Great food, was very impressed!!! I would come back again for sure!!
We were greeted by Chris whom I believe was a manager. It started off great with some laughs and friendly conversation. Then we were taken care of by Maddie who was super kind and even took care of things we didn t even notice to be a problem. The food was delicious and PLENTY!!! The fried goat cheese is a MUST! This is a great place to go to get away from the downtown falls area. Short drive from the Hilton. Right around 10 mins. Thank you for making our last dinner great!!!
Every creation of Chris is guaranteed to be amazing. This venue is more relaxed and airy than the Weinkeller but the menu is similar but not the same. Same great quality and service! Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly venue!
Amazing Food, wonderful staff. Beautiful restaurant. And omg that peach wine! Live music and puppy friendly 10/10
I love this place! Definitely try the flat bread and goat cheese!
Came in for the Monday night wing special. Had the goat cheese as an Appetizer. Great service by Kristina and really good prices. I believe it was $8.50 for a pound of wings! Can t go wrong with that.
A delightful pub with excellent food and service that added positively to this years golfing trip to Niagara Falls.
I visited WeinLoKal for an event a while back and had a great spread of charcuterie and appetizers. Remembering that positive experience, I decided to try their take-out and ordered a charcuterie board, a flatbread, and two chicken Caesar salads. Unfortunately, this experience left me and my husband deeply disappointed. The charcuterie board was $30 and shockingly underwhelming. It had just two slices of cheese yes, only two! and eight pieces of meat. The rest of the box was filled with pork rinds and a few baguette crostinis. The menu promised a variety of house-cured proteins and cheeses, but what we received was far from a variety. It honestly looked like someone had eaten 3/4 of it when we opened the box. The salads were another letdown. They came with bone-in chicken breasts, which is an odd choice for a salad. Using fingers to dismantle a chicken breast in a salad is not my idea of a pleasant dining experience. The chicken was a $12 addition, making each salad nearly $30, yet the portion of lettuce was disappointingly small. Our bill came to $134 for a charcuterie board, two chicken salads, and a flatbread. Despite this steep price, we were both still hungry after our meal due to the meager portions. It seems there is a serious lack of quality control if this is what they offer for take-out. At this price point, I expected to be wowed by the charcuterie presentation and the quantity of food. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The bone-in chicken on the salad was particularly awful. While I cant comment much on the in-restaurant experience beyond the event I attended (where the appetizers were good), I cant recommend their take-out. You can find much better value for your money elsewhere.
We made reservations for a large group of 18 for dinner. The manager Christina and our server Brandy could not have been more wonderful! The food and service were amazing. They do not have a kids menu but made some exceptions/accommodations to the tapas menu to work with us. Thanks to them for a wonderful evening, you guys were wonderful!
Visited over the weekend, quite disappointed. This is a new place that should be trying to attract clientele. I had the specials. I was told the soup of the day was a potato/leek/parmesan soup; but was given a potato and bacon soup. When I inquired why there was meat in my soup I was then told the actual type of soup. I m not a vegetarian, so it wasn t a big deal to eat it, but I d have never ordered potato/bacon soup and it was wasn t very good (just not to my taste - I don t like bacon). I was not offered to exchange/refund the soup, when I clearly indicated this is not what I had been told the soup of the day was, and it wasn t to my preference. I also ordered the flatbread special. The chicken on the flatbread pizza was obviously frozen grocery store chicken. This restaurant should absolutely be using fresh cooked chicken breast. Finally, the appetizers came out nice and quick, but it took a long time to remove our appetizer plates (when we were clearly finished) and even longer for our entrees to arrive. (It wasn t busy but was at least 20 minutes for wings and flatbread to arrive after our appetizer plates were cleaned off the table). I ll give it another chance, as I had a better experience the first time I went, but will be asking if all foods are made fresh and confirming specials if I choose to order one.
Such a great place for a special occasion. The food is delicious, the staff friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere upscale without being pretentious.
Very nice spot for dinner. The menu is limited but that is a good thing. The wine is only from Niagara which is good the Niagara wineries.
My husband and I came to WeinLoKal prior to a movie we were seeing. Hailey was an absolute gem! Very attentive and patient with how long I took to decide haha. I had the Mediterranean Pasta, and to start the Hummus with garlic naan. Both are perfect vegetarian options if you are one! The garlic naan perfectly complemented the hummus and its toppings, beautifullly. The pasta was a light and delicious change from heavy cream pastas. For dessert I tried the cheesecake with maple bourbon topping. Although its not on the menu as a topping, you can ask for it, and let me tell you both are PERFECT together.
Absolutely delicious. Great staff too!
Great local place. Great food and excellent staff.
Just had my bridal shower at Weinlokal on Sunday and it could not have been any more perfect. Kristina was excellent in helping plan our entire party - from food to seating plans to getting us in touch with a local decor business, (Poppin Parties) and everything in between. The food was EXCELLENT! Our servers Stephanie and Jesse were so attentive, and truly made our experience so memorable. So many of my guest came up to us afterwards and said it was the best shower they have ever been to. This truly is the perfect place to host any party. We cannot thank everyone at Weinlokal enough for the absolute best bridal shower, EVER!
Great food, drinks and service! A good option for locals and visitors in Niagara Falls.
10/10 AMAZING! We stopped in after a recommendation for a great burger and drinks - we were not disappointed! The burger was fantastic (probably the best we ve ever had) and the drinks were spot on. The atmosphere was relaxing and fun. Our bartender/server Kristina was amazing!! Highly recommend anyone stop in if they are in the area!
Was there for lunch with my Mom. Chris was amazing. I was disappointed that Mom couldn t get the beet salad because it was not on the menu anymore. He recommended the Burata salad and OMG it did not disappoint!!!! Fantastic!!!! Mom liked it soooo much , we went to tell the chef, Kelly, that it was the best salad she had ever had!! Not my first time there and certainly not my last.
Half decent place to grab a bite! I ve visited on two occasions, the first one being absolutely fantastic and food was delicious. The second time the drinks and food tasted not as good, but we did go on a Monday evening. Servers are friendly and efficient. Only thing is I wish the food was more consistent!
Food was amazing. Live music was good. Great meal.
The service and food were most excellent!! Great flavours!! This is now one of our favourite places in Niagara Falls!!
Wow! What a hidden gem! We ve been twice and the food has been phenomenal! Service is amazing! Prices are totally reasonable especially considering the portions are good. The food is all fresh and full of flavour. Both times we ve been we ve had one of the owners greet us and serve us. They re so attentive and friendly! I would highly recommend eating here.
Traveled to see Niagara Falls for the day with our dog and super happy to find this dog friendly hidden gem! The food was phenomenal! Got the fried goat cheese and mussels for appetizers and the blackened tomahawk pork chop and mushroom risotto with salmon as entrees. Every dish was surprisingly delicious and seasoned well. Kisses to the chef! Would 100% recommend this restaurant!
Gluten free calamari! That s all I need to say. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. 5 star all the way
Excellent
Best server I ever had, great food and good price and the presentation is beautiful, the fried goat cheese is amazing very recommended. Overall 10/10
Food here is EXTREMELY good!
First time here and Chris one of the owners who served us was very friendly and attentive. You can really see his passion. We were in a group of 6 and every one of us was impressed with the food quality and service. Fresh ingredients and very tasty. Cant wait to come back and share this gem with more friends.
Fish was poggers!
Always amazing food and stellar service! Glad to have such an amazing restaurant close to home :)
This was my first time dining at this restaurant and it was awesome. The service was on point, staff were very friendly. I ordered the blackened tomahawk pork chop with apple cider reduction the portion was very big and it was super delicious.
Just went out of the blue one night with my wife, we wanted something nice. I had the feature dish, center rib steak, sautéed carrots and fingerling potatoes with a nice red wine. My wife had the seafood pasta thing, she loved, sorry hardly noticed because my dinner was so freekin good I couldnt get over it. The service was perfect ( not to much yet not to little). The live music made the whole experience perfect. Thank you so much Winelocal!!!
A nice but deserted restaurant. There are very few patrons on a weeknight. The food and service, and live music were great.
Such a comfortable place with fabulous food!
My wife son and I love Wein-lokal. Food is always outstanding, service amazing. Chris and Christina are fantastic people and have a great team! Food
I was looking for a classy takeout treat for my amazing team. I told Chris what I wanted and he made it happen! I loved the atmosphere when I walked in to pick up my order. Relaxed,with a clean, natural vibe. Smorgasbord of fresh deliciousness. So impressed and grateful. Will spread the word. :-)
A bit pricey but everything was great.
Loved the relaxed atmosphere, food was fantastic. Friendly staff made this a great dining experience.
Great place great people
Great place for couples or a place to have conversation.
Lovely spot
We were surprised at how tasty the food was here, but felt the cocktails could be improved. I had a mock tail, which was nice and my husband had two cocktails. Drinks tasted very diluted by ice and not well balanced but the food was amazing!! Would love to see some better wines offered by the glass, especially with the name of the restaurant, but overall wine list was good and we thought it was a great location near the theatre for a date night.
Absolutely incredible! Night out with my husband. I had the pork chop and he had the salmon. The best meal I ve had in maybe ever! We started with the Caesar salad and the fried goat cheese, and finished with the dessert flight. Every bite was delicious. To top it all, the service was fantastic. It was busy but you wouldn t know it from the service - lots of personal attention and the food was perfectly timed. The musician - Phil - was amazing. We enjoyed the live music and could still have a nice conversation. We will definitely be back! Try it! You won t regret it! Thanks for the great night out, Wein-Lokal!
Great food and drink, very nice atmosphere, and super friendly staff. I will be going back
Nice place.
I had a fantastic dinner and experience! The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Friendly service and great food
Reasonably priced , amazing food , great drinks selection, and profession engaging Staff. Cant wait to come back
The food was great but the service was very very poor. Some of the employees were friendly, others were very stuck up. We asked for our bill at 8:15 pm and didn t end up leaving until 8:50pm. Without a sorry or any responsibility being taken. Not impressed
Such a great place, the food is amazing and I love the wine on tap!!
Food is always incredible as advertised. You get Exactly what you ask for. Just how you ask for it and the Service and employees are very polite, knowledgeable and professional.
Any place Im giving 5 stars to....earned it. The atmosphere was as perfect as it gets. We were lucky that during our visit there was a musician playing and he was very good. The volume was set perfect. He wasnt too loud or quiet, which set the tone for the room. People werent talking too loud which helped make it a very comfortable, enjoyable and intimate dinner. Even when the musician took a break and the music came back on, it was around the same volume making the transition seamless. The lighting was set just right, the temperature was set just right and the ambience was literally spot on for us. Now the food.....was as close to perfectly prepared as it gets. My steak was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was spot on. The sides were also prepared to perfection. Very delicious. My partner had the Angus burger and it was by far the best Angus burger and possibly the best burger weve both ever tasted period. (Sorry I didnt take a pic of her burger). We also had dessert and it was deliciousand perfectway to finishour meal. The entire experience was so refreshing and enjoyable. Our server was precise with her timing which I appreciate very much. She was very informative with all our questions, very polite and not overbearing. They have an amazing assortment of drinks and wine on tap !! We will certainly be returning to try out many of their menu items. They also use local fresh produce, seasonal menu options and local wines and spirits. Thank you for the entire wonderful experience.
Went for a friends birthday for lunch! Server was amazing and funny. Food was yummy. Absolutely loved the toffee cheesecake!
The food is fantastic, a guitarist added some nice ambiance, and there was a great selection of beers on tap. Highly recommended.
We recently held our wedding at WeinLokal. From the first meeting to the last drink, everything was perfect. The food was amazing as always and the service we received was excellent. I highly recommend Kristina and WeinLokal for your event needs. Parking: Lots of free parking
We recently celebrated my 50th birthday at WeinloKal and it was an amazing event! We cannot thank Chris, Kristina and the amazing staff enough for their hospitality, service and attention to every detail. This venue is incredible, beautiful decor and a very welcoming atmosphere. We selected to serve flatbreads and charcuterie boards with a variety of choices that were loved by everyone who attended. We love that they use high quality locally sourced ingredients for all of their menu items. They also have an excellent wine, beer and cider selection from many local industries in the area. We very highly recommend WeinloKal!
Always fresh! Always awesome food!
Great first visit to this great local establishment. Definitely will be back. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes Food : 5/5 |
Great live music! Great atmosphere, great staff. Would recommend to anyone :)
Great food and service went for lunch was very quite were were not rushed at all!
Tried out Weinlokal, after being to Weinkeller many times over the last few years. We were both impressed with our dinner, tonights feature, the shared board (pictured). The Whiskey peppercorn sauce in particular was a highlight. Happy to see the famous fried goat cheese on the menu here as well as its a favourite. Over all we definitely prefer Weinkellers menu and atmosphere but Weinlokal was very enjoyable as well.
Love love love this place. From the live music to the friendly staff and manager. The food was hands down 5 star quality. We started off with the goat cheese ball and ceasar salad apps and shared the couples platter. FANTASTIC. We have been back several times, and this restaurant does not disappoint.
Dog friendly restaurant with good food! We were so happy that our pooch baby was able to join us for lunch and they even had a pupcuterie board for her to dine with us. Food was delicious and the server was very nice. This will be our go-to place to dine whenever we re in the area.
hi . the restaurant is pretty but, when I had ordered the oysters. They were at room temperature. They re usually supposed to come out on ice; like every other restaurant. They also weren t shucked properly, as i almost choked on 86 oyster shards. ( also the charcuterie board needs help ) thanks
Great food on Mothers day. Incredible combination of flavours in their eggs Benedict. Rebecca was the greatest server Ive ever had. Food
Took my mother here for mother s day, the whole family had a great time. Everyone was welcoming and made it a great afternoon. Our server Deanna was very attentive and helpful. Thank you to everyone working!
I took my best friend here for her birthday on Monday. What a wonderful dining experience! The ambiance was welcoming and friendly, as were the staff. Our server, Stephanie, was very attentive and the manager stopped by our table as well. The food was exquisitely prepared and presented by the chef. We enjoyed our time here so much we didnt even think to take photos! I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you are looking for an excellent meal, prepared from locally sourced ingredients. We will be returning!!
absolutely amazing food. just stopped in to eat at this restaurant before the show and it was not what we expected - so much better. manager and wait staff were all amazing and 3 out of 5 of us said it s the best burger/salmon they have ever had.
Calamari was great, a nice experience that it wasnt chewy! And very flavourful desserts.
Wonderful atmosphere! Great service and food. Live music! Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to navigate around with walker/wheelchair - staff very accommodating. Food : 5/5 |
Nice place. Good food! Thanks!
Hosted the rehearsal dinner for my son and daughter-in-law at Weinlokal. Too awesome for words! Kristina and her team went above and beyond . Food, service, atmosphere .... all were 5 star. Cant say enough about this amazing team. I would never consider going anywhere else.
We came here with friends, on their recommendation, and were completely thrilled with the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even accommodating us to switching from inside to the patio. The food was excellent, especially the specials. The menu is not large, but there is good choice and the wine and beer selections are perfect. We will definitely return.
Fancy (delicious) food for a very good price. Been here 3 times, all good experiences.
Amazing food prepared by a great chef! Food all sourced locally and you can really tell!
We just had the best baby shower at Wein Lokal today for our kid.s. Great set up and great food. The general manager helped us with the details of the surprise engagement! A wonderful day!
Awesome poke salad and hummus.
After visiting Wein-Lokal for over a year and never being let down by a meal or service I decided to host my sisters baby shower here. Kristina made the planning process effortless and worked with us every step of the way to create a perfect day. From an amazing buffet, mimosa bar and great atmosphere I couldn t have asked for more. Whether you are looking to host an event or just looking for an afternoon drink this is a go to spot
I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a brunch, dinner or a special event. Not only is the food delicious but the staff are friendly, outgoing and accommodating!!
Stephani was amazing thank you for the great service! Oysters/ calamari are a 10/10!!
My husband to be are on a trip to Niagara about to be married in a few short days and have been enjoying the local shops and diners in the interim. We landed here after searching local restaurants on Google to dine at for the evening and this outdid our expectations! Food was amazing(this is an understatement), service was outstanding, and atmosphere was aesthetic, quaint and quiet. All considered this was a very enjoyable experience and you could taste the freshness and quality of preparedness in every dish. I highly recommend the Peach wine, on tap, from their white wines list. I had the cedar plank salmon with sautéed mushrooms and my HTB had the pork chops. Both amazing. 10/10 . We both agree we wish this restaurant was back home! Vegetarian options: Good handful of vegetarian options.
We are in Niagara for a few days. I googled for restaurants in the area and Wein Lokal popped up. The reviews were great and the food looked amazing on google so we gave it a try. It was everything I could imagine plus so much more. The food was so favorable. Definitely farm to table style restaurant. Our wonderful waitress was professional and personal. I let her know how amazing the food and the service was and we will see her again tomorrow. Lol. It was that good!!!
Great atmosphere and great service. The food also really good.
Had a great anniversary dinner here. The food was some of the best I ve had in Niagara region, the professionals in the kitchen know what they are doing . Their appetizers are really good too, try the hummus. The service was great.
My hubby and I went out to try their Monday Wing Special and it was definitely worth it! The buffalo wings were delicious and the service was top knotch, thank you Christine! We will be back and we highly recommend this restaurant for great food, service and ambience! Regards, The Griffins
Hi Quality food. Well kept secret away from the lower quality tourist food.
Nice lunch Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Very friendly atmosphere Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of room
Restaurant has no direction on what they want to be food was good service was lacking they had a celebrity the night I was there so Im assuming the service suffered for it. The unacceptable thing however was a couples platter that included steak shrimp veggies and potatoes for 80$ which seemed like a good deal till they told us that they ran out of shrimp and refused to replace it with anything else only offering prawns for 4$ each as an extra but no discount or replacement for the shrimp originally included. Just for that I will not be returning.
Service is top notch - i did not get the gentlemans name that was serving and making the drinks but he was so attentive and friendly, customer service was amazing Food ive never had a bad thing there. The food is always plating very nicely as well which is a nice touch. Mussels i personally think are priced a bit high for how many you get, as are oysters, but being niagara falls, oysters are not in high demand The parm fries are beyond delicious as is the pork chop and tacos. Highly highly higly recommend the smoked ceasar, which i think is actually a bloody mary?
Beautiful and elegant. Food was excellent, service was also top notch.
The best porkchop Ive ever eaten. It was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, had mouthwatering flavour and was so amazingly tender. Incredible, order the pork.
We were attending an engagement party. What a great atmosphere, with very accommodating, attentive staff. Would highly recommend for any occasion.
High quality, local ingredients. Incredible attention to detail. Beautiful presentation and delicious food. The best caesar salad Ive ever had, by far. The manager Krissy is awesome. I cant believe this place isnt packed every night of the week. There isnt a better quality restaurant in the Niagara region.
Was a great time shared with family and friends. Great service. Not the best vegan fair.
Had our shift Christmas party here last night for 55 people. Everything was fantastic. Food, especially the charcuterie board and appitizers were amazing. Service was exceptional from the night of to booking the party with Kristina. Highly reccomend this hidden little gem!
The Burgers we had were cold...bacon wasnt crispy...........the two draft beers he served yesterday at lunch were flat....the cheesecake was dry and old tasting....not good at all.....the atmosphere was amazing When we left , the two front doors were blocked by two people on ladders at 1:30 pm Thursday..... We had to leave by way of the back exit.....stepped in a giant mud hole....
My fiancé and I went for lunch and Mark was our server. He was so attentive, accommodating and pleasant. Our food was delicious! I highly recommend visiting here, everything was amazing!
I have dreams about that cafe au lait sauce.
Absolutely amazing food, great service. See you again soon! Merry Christmas..
Weinkeller was my favourite restaurant but Weinlokal will sure give it a run for its money. Great decor, very attentive staff but the food is fantastic. The menu is a La Cart but with many of the same specials as Weinkeller including their amazing Deep fried Goat Cheese appetizer. I give this restaurant high honors.
A lovely date spot with living walls overlooking diners in their dark wood settings with the option of bar seating and live music performances. The food was an interesting blend of exotic tastes and flavors with the entrees having two types of preparation depending on your taste and preference.
Was pleasantly surprised! Didn t know the place has changed in the last couple years and had originally thought we were going to a different restaurant. Decided to give them a try and there are no regrets! The food was absolutely delicious, everything was presented beautifully. The decor is gorgeous and pleasing to look at. My aunt also loved it and we couldn t stop talking about the decor while we waited for our food. Once the food came we had something else amazing to talk about. Staff was very friendly including the owner who came to chat with us. Tyler was amazing and answered all the questions that we had! Overall would definitely recommend!!!
Excellent experience superb food and staff. Definitely one of our favorites
Met and surpassed my expectation. I recommend everything. Ask for Chantelle great service. Visiting Niagra from Austin Texas U.S.
Was a very enjoyable time with extraordinary quality food, only flaw was the misimpression of a complimentary desert cake for my birthday. Otherwise very good service and would highly recommend.
Thank you to our server today Jack P. Excellent service. Arrived in the late afternoon for a drink and appetizer with a friend. Went with the charcuterie board. Priced very reasonably and the board had an array of many great tastes and was very filling. All the best on your new business. I have no doubt you will do well.
Great addition to Niagara
Saw their post promoting dogs on the patio so we stopped in for din. Had the Hummus app, chicken cesar salad and beef tenderloin. All tasty. Well be back.
We also love weinkeller (their other restaurant). This was just as good. Amazing food. Cool vibes. They definitely own the top 2 restaurants in Niagara Falls !!
This was such a perfect intimate venue for my daughters sweet 16! The attention to detail from Christina and her crew was over the top. All of the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. The food was delicious! Fun was had by all and the prices were very reasonable!
Everything was fabulous from food, drinks, service and atmosphere! We will definitely be back again (and often)!
The service was absolutely atrocious!! My server slammed my receipt on the counter due to no tip when To being with she didn t come to check how our food was or if our drinks were okay and she even took forever to take our order and got upset with us for her time spent talking to other workers She would look at us then move on to the next can t believe I spent my husband s first day back at this restaurant so disappointed of the actions and services we received here definitely don t recommend for big plans or events sorry to say but this was a big let down
Really enjoyed our meal, good service, friendly staff.
Excellent service and amazing food, as always. The peach wine was delicious. I will be sure to go back, cant recommend this place enough:)
Always great service and amazing food!
Amazing cheeseburger with salad, the best cheeseburger i have ever had.
Amazing food with local ingredients. Excellent wine and beer selection. Beers and ciders from local breweries. Great vibe with live, 1 to 2 piece musicians on the weekends. Very friendly and down to earth servers. High-end food and feel with the prices and atmosphere that will keep you coming back. Very impressed!
Very good food & service Parking: Lots of parking.
Excellent meno ..food preparation and presentation.. and service best to none very comfortable pet friendly patio thanks we celebrated after coved reunion with 18 friends. Thanks Weinlokal team ..will come back
I went for supper last night with two other friends. One took the tomahawk pork chop ~ she loved it. Two of us took the fresh trout served with sweet potatoes, kale & zucchini & a small salad (not incl. with the meal but delicious) and I must say that I was quite impressed with the meal. It was absolutely delicious & fresh!
Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Definitely recommend
Amazing place with a great selection of lokal wine and beer. Jada was very friendly and took great care of us. We had a great time!
Despite there being 550 less TV s then previous I really enjoyed the new look. Food was great, service was great, GM is present and friendly. What else can you ask for. Also Jada good.
Stopped in for dinner the other night, honestly not knowing what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised, the food was excellent, the wait staff was friendly and the decor was good. Definitely go back.
Loved everything we ordered. Great drinks and even better food! Well definitely be back
This has become my favourite spot. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great and the owner, GM, and Jada are the reasons we keep coming back.
Excellent service. Great food. Wonderful live band - not too loud, wide range of music, caught our attention several times (enjoyably) despite our active conversations. Will return.
Wife and I had dinner here for our anniversary, tonight. Our server was Marc-Andre (sp?)(like Fleury, but not Fleury), as he explained. Marc-Andre was fantastic, well educated on the menu. His advice was taken, and on point. His positive energy set the tone for our visit, and added to our experience. I had heard about this place from a few groups and friends, so we gave it a shot. Being ones who typically stick to what/where we know, we were not let down. Appetizer was the Fried Goat Cheese, wonderful flavor and presentation. Fair portion. Local wine was great. Food was fantastic. Wife had the porkchop, blackened, and I had the tenderloin wrapped in bacon, rolled in coffee as suggested. Both were fantastic. Local wines, ingredients etc, nice to see supporting local. Portions were perfect, cooked perfectly, plated and presented with care, and full of flavor. Id say prices are fair for the quantity and quality you get. Menu is a tad small, but certainly covers all basis and helps make a selection, and focus on perfecting what is offered, every dish. Dessert flight was nice, $15. A tad small, but again, quality and presented well. Atmosphere was great, live music was perfect volume and tasteful - did not have to shout to each other over the music. 10/10, well done to the staff and Chef. We will be back, may have found our new spot for date night and celebrations!
Lovely patio, good selection of wine by the glass and craft beer. Our server, Rebecca, was great!
Omg this place is so amazing that we went back the next night! The wine the food the bartenders! Never a dull moment. Plenty of recommendations for things to do in the area, knowledgeable about the food and wine! I can t say enough. If you are in niagra falls you have to check them out. Might even come back for lunch on our way out of town! Oh and don t even get me started about the smoked tomato juice for the smoked tomato Caesar! Bloody Mary who? Just loved it and live music Thursday Friday and Saturday! Amazing local talent. Thank you Marc and Kristina! You are the best!
I mean what can I say about this restaurant, great drinks, great food, knowledgeable bartenders who helped us see and taste the best of Ontario, . I wish I could put this restaurant in my trunk and place in Los Angeles. I would come here for a third time if I could. But traveling and have to leave. The Salmon was so good, my friend ordered it once and I ordered the next day. The paella had a taste I will not get anywhere else in the world. Come here for the local beers and wine, you will not be disappointed. And their desserts are out of this world, order the trio, please! You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Kristina and Marc.
This is the best place for local food and drinks. It was a bit expensive for dinner and drinks but it was definitely worth it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, I will be going again.
Great service and hospitality! We hosted a Student event for our program. Nothing less than amazing experience. The general manager and owner were very kind and personalized our event. If you need to host an event up to 60 people, then I recommend the WeinLokal Social House.
This place is always empty and its dying for several reasons. Beer is good, they have some craft beers at the bar, and the general aspect of it is pretty good. The service, though, is very bad, especially after 4 PM. It seems to be managed by an older guy who is apparently quite nice. But it also seems to be co-managed by a younger lady (blonde, mid-30s, early 40s), maybe his daughter, for events that take place after 6 PM, but who also serves at the bar. Shes rude and condescending, always turning her back and ignoring clients. She acts like she was the owner of the place and makes you feel like she was your boss or something, extremely cold and with an attitude. She is always seated at the bar before her shift, surfing the internet, answering emails, pretending to be very busy. The other day she had reserved the bar for a 50 people group for 6 PM and expelled the people that were already at the bar about 15 minutes before 6 PM. I heard someone from the group saying that most of the people of the group were late. In any case, she has been unpleasant, as usual, for no reason at all. This kind of management error and some other failures are maybe the reason why this place is dying. The place is pretentiously one that serves local wine, with huge publicity of a local winery, but the bar looks like any other ordinary bar with just beer taps in front and other liquors at the back. The other bartender girls are also bad, brainless parrot style, equally rude, talking to you with loud voice so anyone around can hear what shes saying to you, but before 4 PM the mid 40s blonde lady is very nice. If you are a low self-esteem kind of person, a sheepie, or if you like to be bullied, then thats your place. If not, avoid it after 4 PM, or at all. I read most of the comments in this section but I am very skeptical of any comment that also puts lots of very well taken photos. Its extremely difficult to do that discretely without being noticed. Therefore, all these comments with photos seem staged, done by professionals. This could be a trick used by the owners in order to promote their place. I have seen a lot of this kind of gimmick at Tripadvisor, giving extremely good recommendations for bad places and especially ill-managed places on Queen St, for example. One of these places is Queen Bean Café, with an over present owner, always on the internet, and also with a similar attitude. In comparison to that place Wein-Lokal is definitely much better, but both places clearly share similar bad management styles and cunning ways. I frequent many places in Niagara Falls, and there are many good and very bad places. I have owned a brewery and I have learned a thing or two about management during those 7 years. The main thing I learned is that the public is very demanding. When you are dealing with the public you have to be very careful with what you do, with what you say and especially how to deal with them. One should never react impulsively and much less write comments based on emotions. From the response we see below, one can notice the careless on typing the answer. Bad copy-paste from another comment and edited with special notes about my personality. Interestingly, nobody there really knows me personally, so this comment just confirms the bad attitude and ill management style. It also confirms the façade of busy person, pretending to be busy and accusing others of not being busy enough. Isnt that typical? Bad times, yes indeed, but bad judgment, bad attitude, bad personality, bad management, lack of professionalism, and incompetence will eventually sink this place. Some people just dont get that they dont have the skills to deal with the public. The best to them is to put a real professional to manage this place and to keep out of the publics eyes. Meanwhile, even the bar of Boston Pizza at Morrison St, in front of Zehrs is far much better. Want a real good local brewery and restaurant? Counterpart Brewing at Stanley Av. or SilverSmith Brewing Company in Virgil.
Great place to have an excellent dinner!!! The staff were amazing the food even better will definitely be back!@@ Vegetarian options: Lots of options Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: All access
There are no words, that I can say right now, that reflect the remarkable experience that my colleagues had experienced together at Wein-Lokal. The food was absolutely mouthwatering, the atmosphere was lively and vibrant, accompanied by acoustic music to help deliver a personal touch to the scenery, the servers were both great and efficient, happy and polite, and the cocktails simply put amazing and refreshing , the wine selection was phenomenal and there lovely selection of beers. My team left having an experience never before and I would hands down, recommend this location to anyone and everyone if you are planning a romantic dinner or a team event like myself. I must also give a special commentary on the hospitality and service I received from Kristina Macsai, she helped me planned the entire event from beginning to end, and even offered fantastic ideas from listening and understanding, going the extra mile to make sure that my event ran remarkably smooth. None of my colleague would hesitate to recommend to this lovely location and we all cannot help but wait to visit this lovely restaurant again for its experience, staff members, food, cocktails, wine, and music; simply put, until next time. Thank you!
Hummus is so good. Nice place
Had a very nice meal last night with top notch entertainment from Laurel and Hulley! I had a plank salmon that was done perfectly. Service was great and so is the atmosphere! Top notch addition to the area
Great food and service!
Priced pretty high with no atmosphere . If I pay that much, I want it nice.
Great food, great place, great entertainment
Dinner for two special and live music. Dinner was amazing. Great atmosphere. Will be back!
Visited this super boogie, friendly and attentive restaurant. We had the rib-eye player - insanely amazing! I especially want to acknowledge our server Mark. Like two thumbs up for this guy. All the food is farm to table, wine and beer are all lokal . Totally coming back and telling friends about this place!
We had an amazing time during our 1st visit to WeinLokal. The service and atmosphere was great and the food was even better!!! We will definitely be back %
Always fantastic food and service!
Another place where the music is so loud you cant hear the person next to you at your own table. Im not sure when restaurant and eatery managers will learn that patrons Want to converse and enjoy hearing each other? The good service didnt make up for the loud music. Room for improvement.
Great food, and great service, this place is amazing and definitely deserves a try.
Delicious food. Quality ingredients. Great atmosphere and service
I ve never been speechless at a restaurant, but WOW! My wife and I shared the 20 oz ribeye feature board, calamari and famous deep fried goat cheese. Thank you to the chefs and staff for the amazing night! We will let all our friends and family know to dine here. We will be back sooner than later! Dietary restrictions: The calamari was GLUTEN FREE! I haven t had calamari in years so that was a nice treat! Parking: Lots of parking!
Thanks for a great evening. Service was fantastic, and food was very good. We really enjoyed the live entertainment. Made for a wonderful atmosphere. Parking: Free parking. Unlimited spots.
Had a wonderful date night out with my husband. The food was incredible from the apps to the shared steak and shrimp board. Easily the best meal weve had out in a VERY long time!
What a treat . Everyone involved is friendly and knowledgable. The biggest draw is that it does not have the same touristy cookie cutter menu - it is well balanced and flavors are on point.
Our table was in a really weird place where waitstaff kept squeezing behind my chair. It was very bizarre. Other than that, it was great! Our server was super kind and helpful. The food was fantastic, but Id expect nothing less! All in all, we will be repeat customers for sure :)
Excellent place! The food was amazing and reasonably priced, the staff super friendly and helpful and the smoked Caesar drink is delicious! Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We will definitely return.
Easy parking, nice atmosphere inside, food and service was great.
Really enjoyed everything about the place.
