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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!!!

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?

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

December 22, 2022

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.

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.
