Zees Wine Bar & Grill in Niagara-on-the-Lake

The waffle and fried chicken sandwich sounded better than the execution of the dish. Waffle was too soggy to work as sandwich bread. Crab cakes were only so-so.

Excellent!! Highly recommended!

It was the best Caesar salad Ive ever tasted! Also it was the first time Ive tried swordfish and it was phenomenal!

Super close to the theater. Big servings. Be hungry. Food

We were celebrating a birthday and Laura our server made it a special occasion. Thank you. Food

Had a great time . Food and service amazing.

The hostess what rude and annoyed because I dare ask for something the server was distracted and took a long time to take our order all though nice when she got there the food really wasn t that great for all the talk the beef was chewy and the risotto was cold over all I wouldn t waste my money again

Came for our anniversary dinner. Food did not disappointment.

We went for an anniversary dinner and can definately say it was all delicious. Our server, Olga was a gem. Thanks for a great evening. We will be back!

First time here and we were VERY impressed. Food and service were excellent!!! We will definitely be back.

Visited during a Shaw trip for lunch. My wife had a very nice salad with poached pears and I had the Steak frits. The steak was very good but the fries could have been crisper. Very good service and a very nice atmosphere.

Lovely lunch on the patio at Zees. Erica our server (who was a delightful professional) recommended the brisket sandwich and it was delish . Perfect location. Steps to the Shaw Festival Theatre. We will be back:)

Nice clean restaurant. Stopped in Before a show. It was not overly busy. Staff was pleasant but not very attentive. Overall ok

We came for lunch. Service was very disappointing, boarder-line poor. The waitress was polite however very slow, non attentive and we constantly had to ask for things. The shrimp appetizers were very good, the mains horrible, just horrible. The crab cake tasted very fishy, so much so I couldn t eat it. Even the fries with my crab cake tasted odd. My partners bowl lacked any type of taste, again she couldn t finish it despite being hungry. Overall, terrible.

We just ate here 9/1/24 and must say the food was pretty meh. The short rib that I was served was essentially 70% fat and looked nothing like what s in prior reviews. The swordfish was undercooked but at least that was easily rectified. Recognizing that we re spoiled coming from nyc, this place did not live up to the reputation. Also, the patio floor was filthy with old food and had clearly not been cleaned for a while. Spent $170+ CAD for two entrees with two drinks and that s the read out. Sorry y all.

Very disappointed in the food

Need more staff.

I have been coming here ever since I was very young and it has created so many lasting memories with my family. Thank you

Drop by for a drink before heading over the Shaw. Checking out menu and atmosphere. Will be visiting on our next show.

My girl and I wanted to enjoy some wine on a late Sunday evening. It wasn t busy at all. Several patio tables were free. We sat at one on the end and were asked by the male server if we were ordering a full dinner. When we replied that we were not, he very rudely told us to go sit at the bar inside because that table was reserved. He then made a big show of checking inside whether we could sit at any of the other tables because they could all be reserved . We felt very unwelcome so we just took our business elsewhere. Never going back there again.

Kristina our server was excellent. The honey sriracha shrimp appetizer was a great start. The brisket was a bit dry, but the au jus was good. The steak frite was tasty and the fries with both meals were excellent. We brought our puppy and they had one table with an umbrella on the patio for guests with a dog. I recommend making a reservation if you have to bring a pet. The complimentary dessert was a great end to our anniversary lunch. Few bees, but it is an outdoor patio, so not a big deal.

Good food, service and prices. Right across the street from the Shaw Festival Theater

Came here to eat before a 1:00pm show at Shaw. The balcony was beautiful to sit on, food was decent and service was attentive. Would definitely eat here again! Prices reasonable too! We did have the lunch menu to order from, even though it was a weekend at 11:00am; they change over from breakfast to lunch at 10:30am. Would be nice if on weekends breakfast was offered a bit later into the day.

Patio is awesome, as is the service. The food was OK but underwhelming for the price. Had the fish tacos and crab cake burger for lunch. The shining star was the ceaser salad - very good.

Service was good. Food was not.

Christina took very good care of our group. Exceptional service. Very knowledgeable on both the drink and food menus. Will definitely be back!

My first time at Zees was for brunch and it was fantastic. Big shout out to our server, Max for making our dining that much more enjoyable. Great food and great service. Thank you Zees team!

We have been multiple times now and we have had our expectations exceeded every time. The food and service are top notch, and the value is great. We just had the pasta and wine special .highly recommended!

Beautiful spot. We were there for breakfast. There a few options for dairy free breakfast. Eggs Benedict were good but watery.

Food quality was good, but not outstanding. Some dishes were better than others. The risotto was a stand out. The flourless chocolate cake was dry.

First of all the hotel is beautiful! Had a great stay this past weekend. We decided to get breakfast yesterday morning at the hotel. We placed our order with the waiter, Pete. At that time there were only 3 other tables that were full. A half an hour goes by and people who were seated after us were getting their meals. The waiters assistant said she would check on the status of our order after we inquired about it. She said it got pushed to the back of the line in error and said she would comp our breakfast. She ensured us that the chef was working on our order now. It has now been an hour. We finally get our meal ....its the wrong meal. Pete goes back to his computer and starts to type in our order again. His assistant was visibly upset but he didnt even apologize. We walked out after an hour and 15 mins. Everyone got their breakfast...not us. Will not return to this establishment!

Great food and service!! Enjoy every moment and every bite!!!

Huge serving size for the breakfast dishes. Quite tasty as well. The service was great, we felt well taken cared of.

Their pork tenderloin and their Tuna were absolutely delectable. My date and I let the host know we were there to see a show and our service was prompt, friendly, and felt completely personalized. Every dish I saw on the neighbouring tables looked scrumptious and I didnt see a single unhappy face in the building

What a great experience! My husband and I were impressed with the atmosphere, the food and the amazing service from our server Laura. We will definately be back, it has become one of our favorite date night destinations!

Great place to eat across the street from the Festival Theatre. Fantastic service, great food, and excellent drink.

We had a really nice dinner tonight. The service was great, the food delicious, and the dessert tasty. The filet was perfection. We loved sitting on the enclosed patio.

Very nice and friendly waiter ... Limited Vegetarian option. Average meal, nothing special...

Had the hotel breakfast, good service, good food, good value.

Went here for Mothers Day and food and service were excellent! Small menu with a great selection.

Food was fantastic and service was just as good from our server Laura! Will be back again.

Our meal at Zees was part of a Christmas present (+ tickets to see Gypsy after dinner). I want to say that my dinner was the best restaurant meal Ive ever had. It was delicious and everything was perfect. Even the sorbet...and I generally dont like raspberries!

Quaint restaurant in the heart of Niagara on the Lake, across the street from the Shaw theatre. We shared a delicious Ceasar salad, had hamburgers with fries they were good and 1/2 litre of Cabernet Sauvignon wine for lunch.

Edited for May 2023: Zees wowed us yet again on our return trip and dare I say, the food was even better than before. I called to make a reservation ahead of time and requested to be seated with Kim--it had been four years since our last visit but we knew she would be the best! Everything was wonderful, from the food to the atmosphere, but especially the service. Kim provided fabulous advice on wine pairings with our entrees as well as the same bubbly warmth that we remembered from our last trip. The short rib (a few changes from last time, but even better!) was so tender that a knife was completely unnecessary, and my husband had the tenderloin which was the best either of us have ever had. We couldnt decide between a dessert martini or an actual dessert, so we got both. We each had an Up All Night (their variation of an espresso martini), he had the chocolate lava cake, and I had the lemon blueberry tart. All was wonderful! We will make sure that we come to Zees every time we visit NOTL. Its seriously that good. (Original, May 2019) My husband and I visited Niagara-On-The-Lake for our first time at the end of May. I booked the trip as a weekend getaway and we stayed in Niagara Falls itself, but spent our first day in NOTL. I made a reservation for dinner at Zees and everything was wonderful, especially our server, Kim. Kim made excellent suggestions (shout out to the braised short rib, it was fabulous), and her warm personality and service made us feel welcome. She provided some other recommendations for us in the area as we are from the US. Each course that we had was delicious and we left very full and satisfied. We are already planning a return trip, hopefully this August, and we would love to dine with Kim again.

Food was good. We ended here after a day of wine tasting. The pairings were also good. Our waitress Kim was very friendly and helpful. Had the jalapeño potato soup which was really good. Steak was also good and cooked the way I asked.

Food was really good. I have shrimp and scallop Risotto and it didnt disappoint

Love this place, great food

Little gem for breakfast at the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake !( *secret tsk*They have a breakfast special not necessarily shown on the breakfast menu presented on site, youll have to ask.) Eggs nicely cooked to overeasy as I asked, cripsy bacon done perfectly without being brittle and decent coffee(refillable). Our server Hanna was attentive, warm and friendly. Sitting at Al Fresco setting enjoying a nice hearty breakfast at phenomenal price and a beautiful tranquil view in the morning...whats not to like ?

Three of us dined in on the long weekend for a quiet birthday celebration. The steak was excellent as were the sides with the steak but both pork dishes were disappointing. The wine list was very limited. The worse part of the experience at this restaurant was our waitress. I identified my wine choice as the top option in the Pinot Noir list as I had forgotten the name. She replied in a very rude manner, Which list? We have lots of lists . She had only given us one list. When she brought the wine, she poured the glass then said, who will be tasting? I was the host at the table, I ordered the wine therefor, I would be tasting. To make matters worse, there was a couple at the next table with two completely out-of-control children who were throwing a ball between them in a very rough manner between the tables. The parents did nothing to exercise control of there progeny and neither did the wait staff. Management let this behavior continue for several minutes before they spoke to the adults and stopped the rough play. This was a birthday celebration for one of my guests so I did not want to create a scene but you can be sure we will not be visiting this restaurant again.

Dinner was top notch from start to finish. Friendly service, great ambiance, playful cocktails, delicious wine, and mouth-watering food. Will definitely return.

I had the lamb shank and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. My cosmopolitan was a bit watery though as it was swimming in ice.

Was a quiet experience. Food good. Fairly priced. Food

Fantastic Food!! We actually only ended up eating here as the restaurant we planned on eating in had closed early. Both myself and my wife agreed that it was the best meal we had in a very long time. Great service, the waitress went the extra mile with our little girl also and was very accommodating. The restaurant was also really busy and everything was still brilliant. Not the cheapest but well worth it. Highly recommended.

Very pleasant

We enjoyed eating our lunch there. Then walking the city.

very bad service although many tables empty

Cute place! Had the tenderloin and caesar salad which were very good

Amazing tenderloin! They cook it just right. The service was also really great along with the drink menu which has a variety of local wines and cocktails. I would come here again!

Place was recommended to us. Food/Everything was good but not excellent. Concierge was the highlight.

We had a lovely evening here on the beautiful veranda! We shared a bottle of wine, the calamari, and dessert. Everything was delicious. Our server, Sean, was so kind! Well certainly come back soon :)

The restauran5 was dirty with food on the floor. I received a complementary long black hair in my food and was still required to pay for it. Gross

I recommend

Had a lovely brunch there. The potato galette is awesome. Was very amused by the sign that announced that the ladies washroom was voted Canadas best restroom in 2014.

Visited in August 2023 and really enjoyed ourselves. Sat outside with an excellent view of the street and it was perfect. Sean was very helpful and the steak was excellent. Blueberry Custard Tart was fantastic!! We will certainly return next time we are in town.

Disappointing. Food very average, service below average, some food was cold when we got it. Drinks meh. Interior decor is really strange: African masks on the wall, weird lighting, artwork bizarre, mission chairs, the bench upholstered seating has several large gaping holes in it. Very overpriced for what you get.

Top !

We love Zees. Good food. Attentive staff. Local wines. Close to Shaw. The menu is varied, from Ahi tuna to traditional roast beef.

Rudest waiter ever! Outdated old fashioned menu. Didnt end up ordering anything.

We had dinner with my wife last night, Saturday. My wife had the Scallops and Shrimp risotto and I had the Arctic Char. The meal was delicious.

The atmosphere was a little dull but the service was nice. The food taste was average Food

Weve been a few times over the years and this was by far our best experience. Everything was top notch. Its a great combination for evening theater. All convenient and easy. Enjoy

The sign at the front said breakfast 8am to 10am. We arrived at 9:55am and, despite being hotel guests, we were abruptly turned away by the hostess who claimed they had to start preparing for lunch and said that they sat their last table a few minutes ago.

We had an excellent dinner. Service was perfect and the food divine! Appetizers were scallops and the crispy pork belly. Mains: duck confit and surf &turf. Best duck confit Ive ever had. Hubby was similarly pleased with his Surf and Turf. Desert for him was the milk chocolate salted caramel tart and creme brule for me. Definitely recommend eating here! Also, gold star for social distancing here!! Was the first eatery in Niagara-on-the-lake I could actually relax in!!

Phenomenal breakfast, you have to try the eggs benny! Our server Jenn was very friendly and prompt with service. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing service and delicious food...all we could ask for on Valentines Day.

First time dinning inside as we usually dine outside in the summer months. Pleasantly surprised and as always good breakfast.

Patio is winter ... fantastic!! Food excellent and Max as a server was the best!!

Great service and food. Be sure to make reservations.

We were a large group of 11 and couldn t have had a better time. The food was excellent and plentiful. The service was great too! I just wish it was closer to home!

Our server Laura was clearly an expert and as result had lots of tables. It would have been nice to have had greater attention paid to our experience considering the price point of the restaurant. The soup of the day was AMAZING, but the mains were lackluster. I had the chicken (bland tomato topping but delicious lime sauce, meat slightly dry, side was also bland) and my husband had the risotto (bland accept for the sun-dried tomatoes) We do not eat red meat therefore these were the only options for us. We had cappuccino to finish off the meal and that was great. Overall the experience was just so-so and we were expecting more.

Stop here for lunch! Wow! Amazing food and service! Loved the location as well.

Great service Good food and a great location near the Shaw festival

Great patio and decent food, a few small missteps (poached egg overdone, avocado was hard) makes this a 4/5

Service from Sean was perfect and the food/wine selection was just what we needed. Would definitely visit again.

Went here as part of our winery tour group. Food was good, expect we had to wait almost an hour for our brownie dessert.

A lovely spot to eat out on their patio/porch before attending a show at Shaw Festival Theatre.

We had lunch with a group of 6 who arrived without a reservation, they were very friendly, we ate very well: different starters and main dishes as well as cocktails and wines. Very friendly service full of good humor and patience, well-chosen local and international wine list. To eat after visiting the vineyards.

Celebrated our anniversary tonight. Seated promptly indoors as it was a stormy day and their pleasent patio was closed. Service was pleasant, prompt and efficient. We ordered the veal chop and the halibut. Both were very good and beautifully presented. A blueberry custard tart was dessert. Tasty but fairly small in size. A nice experience overall.

Great food, very fresh with local ingredients, great service.

Wednesday this week, dinner for 6. Absolutely delicious for all 6, great atmosphere and most of all fantastic service from Sean. I highly recommend if you have the chance.

A superb light dinner for two. I will open by saying we don t normally eat a lot. Three shared appetizers were more than sufficient. We were across the road at The Shaw for a three act matinee. As we were early we had a great table on the veranda looking out onto Queen St. The Green salad was fresh with no wilted greens an a nice light vinaigrette dressing. The cheese board had a lovely selection of regional cheeses with crostini and fresh fruit. Our server Sean suggested the Ahi Tuna hands down. A perfect choice with watermelon radish and avocado topped with a very mild wasabi Mayo. We will be back!

Sadly, we had a dissapointing experience with our wine pairing dinner at Zees. We were a party of four. Air conditioning unit leaked on one of us throughout the meal, strip loin was a poor cut of meat, over cooked the first time around, sent back, but not much improved second time around for two of us. Also dissapointing that we had to ask for a complementary glass of wine to compensate for the inconvenience rather than it being willingly offered. Two of us enjoyed the arctic char and we did enjoy the wine choices.

Great food and service. We were a group of 15 and not a single person had a complaint about their meals.

Speedy, precise and friendly service? Delicious food thats worth the price? Zees has both. Its amazing. Give this place a try, I beg you.

Fantastic meal with amazing service. Servers and hosts were extremely polite and welcoming. Food was very healthy and cooked well. Swordfish, seared tuna and chicken were all cooked to perfection. Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian selection in all courses

Food was great, Laura was an amazing waitress but the noise level was a 1. Could not hear the conversation of our partners.

Fantastic service. Warm greeting when we arrived. Arturo our server was fantastic, attentive to our every need. Great selection of menu items, my wife is Vegan. Our meals were just fantastic, fresh, well cooked, flavourful, generous portions. The best dinner we had in NOTL. Highly recommend. Truly world class.

What a disappointment. I m used to restaurants in the Toronto area, we had sailed across the lake for the long weekend and after reading reviews this seemed like a nice spurge, prices a bit high but if the quality matched it would be a nice meal. Unfortunately, for $38 I expect my chicken not to be dry and mostly tasteless. The veggies were overdone in butter to the point where they were dripping with grease. We get better at our yacht club any day for 2/3 of the price. My husband s arctic char was good - which I d expect for $45, as was the ahi tuna appetizer, and they offered to redo the chicken.. but really? For $38 for a small piece of chicken don t ruin my dinner and get it right the first time. Or charge $18-$22 which is what my dinner was worth.

Lovely place for dinner or lunch. Patio seating is great. Both the steak and fish were excellent. Parking: Very easy street Parking near the restaurant

Great food and amazing staff

Came here for breakfast and sat on the patio back in October 2022. Food and service were great. Really solid value for the quality of food. Coffee was also very good. Really nice little patio seating as well! Will definitely be back.

We went here pre-theatre and had a good meal. Not outstanding but still very good. My husband had the halibut and I had 2 appetizers (shrimp and tuna) and desserts. The PB tart was delicious. We went at 5:30 just before an 8pm show. We had PLENTY of time before our show started. Sat on a lovely terrace with a wonderful waitress. Yummy cocktails. Make sure to try the Northern Lights martini!

Probably one of the worst steaks of my life! We were a group of 7 people. 6 ordered a rare steak, we received 6 steaks way overcooked. Unfortunately we were on a wine tour with a pre-established menu. Maybe the poor quality of the steaks was related to the wine tour menu, I dont know. The next day we returned to dinner, still with the wine tour, we asked for bread to accompany our soup. The answer was a bit surprising: we dont have bread on the lunch menu. However, the night before we had bread with our meals. Finally we got some bread. Ill let you judge. Slices of Weston bread!

Loved the cauliflower steak!

Lovely setting for a date night. The food was excellent and our server Melinda was knowledgeable and fun.

We went here for breakfast and we were very pleased. The coffee was so good and our meals were so delicious. We had the eggs Benedict and the Traditional breakfast. Loved the deep fried mashed potatoes!! Lovely atmosphere on the patio and our server Samantha was excellent. Very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!!

The chef mixes innovative flavors and it works! Highly recommend the halibut. Try the Frogpond organic dry riesling. Its special. The service was also quite pleasant. All around lovely experience.

Delicious food, located on a quiet corner. Beautiful patio. The fish dishes were delicious. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

The food is excellent. The server was very good and friendly. The prices are high but not out of line with other Niagara-On-The-Lake quality restaurants. They are all expensive. I like eating on the patio.

In August 2022, installed on the magnificent veranda surrounded by flowers in a cozy and warm setting, we opted for halibut and Beef tender sirloin. The halibut cooked to perfection was divine as was the beef. The service is truly impeccable. The price was a little high but when you know the price of halibut and beef, you understand. Unforgettable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

My husband and I had dinner here recently and we were pleasantly surprised how great of an experience it was. The food was definitely a step above what we were expecting, their seared tuna is some of the best I have ever had! Service was friendly, their veranda is lovely in the early evening and just like any spot in NOTL, it is a great location within walking distance of the hotels and pubs.

Food is excellent, hadnt been back in a few years and sad to find out the removed the lobster Poutine from the meni, it was hands down the best thing on the menu.

Beautiful location with a 3 season wraparound veranda. Pork belly and tuna appetizers are both delicious. Fish is always excellent. Hoping the braised shortrib will make a comeback, it was to die for!

Asked for rare, but got medium rare. And it was tiny. Tasty 4 bites, and it was gone. Glad I brought snacks on our trip. But for the price, we should have dined elsewhere.

Fantastic staff, will alter menu to your needs, great atmosphere...

Had dinner reservations at this lovely spot in Niagara On The Lake and decided to come by early to check it out. Went into the reception area at the restaurant and decided to confirm our reservation and was greeted by the host, Nic. He was very warm and welcoming and allowed us to pre choose our table for dinner. We then decided to stop for a quick cocktail at the bar. We were greeted and taken care of by an amazing young man, named Mark. Someone from the back kitchen came out to bring him a lovely plate of food during his shift. We had just been speaking to him about possibly ordering an appetizer, but was told that the kitchen would be closed until dinner. He offered his plate of food that had been prepared for him and insisted that we take it and enjoy it for ourselves. We were very shocked and pleasantly surprised at this lovely gesture and incredible hospitality. Thank you so much Mark!

Nothing special I had fish and it was dry My wife had something vegetarian and she said it was really salty She didnt want to make a fuss about it so we just ate our meals We wont be going back there

The restaurant is located inside the Shaw Club hotel, although we were guests at a sister hotel. Our server, Sean, was excellent. Super personable, very knowledgeable, and was able to juggle all of the guests with ease. We were seated on the enclosed porch. It seemed to strike an interesting balance between rustic and high-end. The food however was definitely fine dining and it was excellent. We had the spicy tomato soup and crispy shrimp for our apps. My wife had the chicken and I had the beef tenderloin which was the best piece of meat Ive had in a long time. Dessert was also excellent. My wife had the chocolate peanut butter tart and I had pumpkin pie which was a special. The prices arent cheap, but I think you definitely get what you pay for. Would visit again next time were in town.

Zees has been a favourite stop during milestone events on our lives. Romantic getaways when newly wed, babymoons, and birthday celebrations. They never disappoint. While there are many excellent places to dine in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this is our favourite. I do wish they would bring back the lobster poutine though...

Enjoyed our breakfast

We just had an excellent meal here. Everything was delicious, seasoned perfectly and the service was great. We ll be back.

My husband and I stayed at the Shaw Club for a few nights and had breakfast twice at Zees Restaurant. It is so cozy, I love the heated patio and the waiters were very helpful and friendly! The breakfast was DELICIOUS! I had the traditional one morning and an omelette the next. They have the best breakfast sausage hands down. We will have to come here for dinner next time. Highly recommend even if you aren t staying at the hotel, the restaurant is worth it on its own!

Good food. Very nice atmosphere with calming music at a volume you can hear the conversation at the table. Service was very good.

We reached the restaurant around 1:55 pm and they close between 2:00-4:00 pm but they took us in. Which is awesome because it was snowing and we wanted to have a warm soup. We had the daily soups and apple and caramelized onion grill cheese sandwich.

Have been coming here for years, great food and service. Must go if you are in Niagara on the lake. Highly recommend the steak and seafood here.

Such amazing food and such an adorable patio!! The mussels are a must Hope you guys will open again after COVID! :(

Ordered cheese platter. $23. 4 pieces of cheese. Was more like bread and grape platter. Not impressed with the rest of the food either.

Great dinner and John our server was beyond good. Great night.

This dinner was perfect, incredibly well done from presentation to taste. The Chef and staff are highly qualified. We also had two breakfasts there, and they also were 5 star quality. If you enjoy fine food, Zees Grill is a must.

Friendly service...from Jenn our server. Ambiance on the terrace was captivating with the view of Shaw festival grounds.

Food and service always excellent. Covid-19 protocols in place to make you feel comfortable and still pampered. A real treat to return to Zees!!

1st rate....great lunch...definitely come again.

Have eaten from here twice - once a couple of years ago in the restaurant and most recently take out. Food was amazing!

I need to start off by saying the service at Zees is 5*, Jenn was amazing! That being said, the food is strictly ok....we had the shrimp tacos and the turkey sandwich with poutine. The tacos had 3 small shrimp and a wee bit of coleslaw. The turkey sandwich was also ok, but waaayyyyy overpriced for what we got. Overall, I would not recommend Zees, the food is not worth the price.

Food was great, as usual. I had the Veg Risotto & it exceeded my expectations. Our server Melinda was very friendly & service was perfect.

Wonderful, food was exquisite and in good portions

The service was fast and the waitress was really nice. Their shrimp taco is really healthy but tastes good.

Sean was great server, recommended a lovely bottle of wine to go with our meal. Surf and Turf meal was delicious, one of the shrimp was slightly underdone, but thats better than overcooked I suppose. The highlight of the meal was the side of blue cheese scalloped potatoes with my meal. The demi-glaze had a great shine tonite as you can see in the picture. My wifes Arctic Char was cooked perfectly too, should have probably plated it skin-side up so that the skin doesnt get soggy, but that didnt take away from the meal; my wife enjoyed it a lot. Lemon tart was great way to end the meal, not too sweet - we shared it.

Simply excellent. Cheese platter was fabulous and the beef tenderloin was done to perfection. Service was a bit slow.

Beautiful atmosphere, very good service, very clean establishment, very good food.

I liked to relax on the terrace of this restaurant and enjoy the peaceful evening and evening breeze. I came for the food but enjoyed the atmosphere. The food is quite traditional and has a beautiful presentation. We were impressed with smoked salmon, and my wife enjoyed fish. Pork chops is a signature dish here. A noticed a few picked duck and. It looked good as well. This is a recommended place by all my friends. Enjoy.

Cheese platter was very tasty but we ordered dessert and it was half our bill. Not impressed with a 17 dollar (x3) dessert and when I asked for the menu and was told they could just tell me what there is. If I saw the price I wouldnt have ordered any and went somewhere else. Guess Ill know not to make that mistake again. Not saying they were bad either. Size was small and the price was ridiculous.

We were a large party who booked a reservation at Zee s grill far in advance on a weeknight. Upon booking, we were made aware that our request for patio dining was noted, and told it should not be a problem given our early dining time. Earlier that same day we returned their call to confirm the reservation, and again were assured that outdoor seating was on a first come basis. On both occasions, we were left to understand that if the patio was not full, we would be seated there. On arrival, we were told an indoor veranda table was prepared for us. We explained that we preferred outdoor dining as we had an at-risk toddler in our group (though no explanation should be needed during a pandemic if a party is more comfortable eating outside). Although there was not a single table seated outdoors, they made every excuse to not seat us there - high likelihood of rain (it was actually a very low chance and it in fact did not rain), discomfort of the servers due to heat (every other patio on the strip was open and bustling without complaint), etc. There was even a sliding door in front of the table in the veranda but they argued we were to open it only if absolutely needed as to not let air conditioning out. When we told them we were upset at the very least about their lack of transparency regarding availability of their patio, they gave no plausible response other than it was not a guarantee but a request. We have been to Zee s Grill many times over the years while visiting Niagara, and have recommended it to a number of friends in the past. We are regretful to have supported an establishment that clearly does not appreciate individuals COVID-19 precautions, nor have the sensibility to provide options for those more at-risk or who simply choose to minimize their health risks. This was the one and only restaurant where we came across this issue during our few nights stay in NOTL, and I would urge you to choose another great restaurant in the area to dine at.

Love the duck

The food here is amazing! Recommend it to everyone.

Food good but hate having Rock music on during dinner...it was not loud but irritating. Everyone else was a senior too and pretty sure no one wanted to hear the Boss and David Bowie with their cheese plates! Nice waiter and good service but this music lowered rating

Always great food and service and the veranda is so nice!

Ordered the duck and the chicken , was very dissatisfied with the dry chicken. Duck was decent. Service was bad, sat for 1 hour and water wasnt refilled once. Waited 20 min just to get our bill and get out

My wife and I had dinner here for our 13th anniversary and it was so good! Our server Laura was tremendous, and the food was to die for! My wife had the duck confit and I had the surf and turf. Both are highly recommended. We didnt get any appetizers because we just wanted to get down to the nitty gritty. Needless to say, the food and atmosphere, plus service were outstanding!

Great Picton turkey sandwich and tomato soup.

Great place to dine in Niagara on the lake. Not only did they manage to get us a table on shirt notice, the service and food was delicious. I had the shrimp tacos with fabulous crispy fries, both were so tasty! Pair that with the sparkling wine from Ravine winery, you have a delicious combination!

Service from Max was great. Food was good as well

We celebrated our anniversary here recently. Food was excellently seasoned, spiced, prepared to perfection. We ordered the duck confit, which was beautifully made. The pork chop though was better, as the entire dish had a certain combination of flavour that complimented each other really well, esp the potatoes. Would eat here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed a terrific meal on a wonderful evening. Limited covid menu but great all the same.

The staff was very personable and helpful and the food was delicious!

Delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. I had the smoked tomato basil soup, Mediterranean risotto, and salted milk chocolate caramel tart. Service was a tad slow.

Just a bad place, don t go there

The duck was incredible, but the salad appetizer was meh and the service wasnt great.

Great food! So tasty and delicious. Service was excellent. Will definitely return!

Food here was excellent and the staff were very welcoming. Drinks were on par and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend this restaurant and will gladly return.

Great dinner tonight at Zees. From the tomato soup to the crispy pork belly to the pork chop, dishes were generous and very tasty. Service was good too, with just the right amount of attention. The only disappointment was not having room for dessert.

Good food. It is the dinning room of Shaw Club Hotels and Spa.

My wife and I visited on a Tuesday night. The drink options were varied and great quality. I barely remember what my wife ordered due to the carnivore haze I was in with the 2 inch thick porkchop, perfectly grilled with a maple glaze on a stupendous root vegetable hash. Pricey but you should expect it given the location. Big shout out to Kim our lovely server.. Cheers

We had tomato soup and caesar salad for appetizer and porkchop and duck for our main and enjoyed a lot. One thing is that the entrees came barely warm. It got cold mid eating :(

Nice patio at the end of the strip so less noise and traffic.

Soooooo good!

Very good. Excellent service from Jenn. Great food. Terrific location.

Good Restaurant, Salad ist OK, Fish was great. Service is excellent

The worlds worst place ever. All food was either microwaved or raw. And when I say raw I mean raw.. vegetables, meat, fish.. dont waste your money and time.

Went to this restaurant tonight and was so disappointed. We noticed everyone around us has complimentary bread except my table. I don t want to make this a race issues but the patrons around us were Caucasian and we were visibly a minority. Sean was very rude. He said he didn t give us bread because we got the cheese board. Sure it comes with some bread but while we wait we could still be offered bread. In the end I didn t tip him and once he saw $0 tip he threw the receipt and walked off. If you re white, go ahead visit this place. If you re POC - screw this place. The manager was considerate and I ve informed her our concerns. Don t get served by Sean, request someone else please.

The service is amazing! I am so please with Kim s help, and the food was delicious I am definitely coming back.

Decent food. Not a big variety though. Liked their Ginger Beer.

Service was nice. Food was good and the atmosphere was really pleasant.

Yum

Went for dinner here with friends and had a great time. The staff were very friendly and our server was a gentleman. The food was top notch. I have nothing to complain about and I eat well made home cooked foods every day. Go check it out and have a great experience.

After we had made a reservation quite some time ago and had it confirmed, the restaurant couldn t find it When they finally did, they had already seated someone else in our place. They then gave us a table in the worst location near the kitchen entrance. We felt humiliated and left. We will never go back.

Sat at the bar with the bartender James, lovely story teller and great at his craft!

Stayed at the Shaw Club so Zees was an obvious choice. They did not disappoint. The pork tenderloin was great with some flavourful mashed potatoes. The pickerel dinner was fabulous. So many different layers with each their own flavors. Very refreshing dish as well. The crab cakes to start were also nicely done. Service was great which made a great experience to a nice weekend away.
