The Garrison House in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Fish and chips with side of coleslaw

Friendly place

Honestly, just not that good. Lacked Flavour, used frozen vegetables, fries were brutal. For the price you might as well go to the sand trap, which isnt much better. This restaurant should be a 3.8, weird that its rated higher.

Cute place with good food. The fish fry was really good and the mussels in green curry sauce was delicious. 1 star removed as the fries were not good, too hard (maybe they need an oil change) and the Pave the chocolate is too thick.

We havent been here for years because it went down hill. We went today and they have a new owner , new staff and same quality of food as.before. we will be back!!

I highly recommend visiting Garrison House! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, a perfect place for brunch or dinner with friends and family. I ordered the blue cheese burger, and it did not disappoint! The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection. Whether youre a local or just visiting, Garrison House is a must-try for an unforgettable dining experience! I always recommend it to my bed and breakfast guests.

Very good restaurant. The burger was very good

First time there and had the fish and chips. The fish was excellent. Sticky toffee pudding to round it off. Lots of local beers ciders and wines and very friendly. Will be back! Food

Salad and Brussel sprouts were very salty, could not eat.

Food here alone is worth the trip. But service and atmosphere are also excellent! Highly recommend the steak and chips Food

Calamari portion is ridiculously small for 20$ and too salty. The head chef pallet is weird with very odd pairings in the half chicken. Rib eye was great

Although the restaurant was busy, the wait staff made every effort to serve everyone in a timely fashion and with a positive attitude. This was our second visit and we d go back again.

Enjoyed my 23rd Anniversary, Prime Rib was fantastic

Friendly staff and delicious food.

Really amazing service. Attentive, great staff. Could be what we ordered, but food was not very good.

Great food and service.

Good food but expensive. Every entree is over thirty bucks.

Really great spot at the end of a day of visiting Niagara on the Lake.

The Garrison has a very laid-back, local watering hole type feel to it. The staff are super friendly and the seating is cozy. Our group ordered a 1/2 dozen oysters (Raspberry Point) served with their homemade mignonette and hot sauce; the burger, Black Lager Cottage Pie, and the prime rib dinner. The food was delicious, with the cottage pie stealing the show. Its a great spot to go before/after a show at the Shaw Festival and well definitely go again. Our group waited quite a long time for our entrees though - to the point where we saw other groups (who had arrived and ordered 15-20 mins after us) getting served their meals before us. The waitress was kind enough to give us updates and finally theyre plating your food but even that took over 10 minutes. We postulated something must have gone awry with one of our plates. When my prime rib finally arrived, it had the colouring of the medium-rare cook that I had requested - but when I cut into it, it was very well done. I was too hungry to complain. Since it was our first time there, totally willing to give them a second chance as our situation seemed to be an anomaly.

Wish you could cook your burgers the way I like to eat them. we asked for the be cooked little longer I dont like my raw in the middle not enjoying eating not cooked ground beef uncooked

In town for a special occasion The Garrisson House did not disappoint. We are foodies and have eaten at some pretty great places but this place was top notch. We ordered the calamari to start then proceeded to our mains. Brisket burger and fries and the Cottage pie. Wherever we go burgers and calamari are often tried.. All we can say is this place is fantastic. Cindy was so pleasant and helpful. This place is highly recommended.

Food was to die for. Absolutely delicious. Great service - friendly and likable staff. Very popular place. Parking: Come try it out. You will not be disappointed.

Superb food and excellent service. Highly recommended and would dine here again in a heartbeat.

For those looking for a pleasant environment, tasty food and super efficient and friendly service. One difference is that the friendly attendant spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese. I highly recommend it

The restaurant is average, far from European standards. The food is quite tasty, rather average, it is not a culinary experience at all. The staff is initially very friendly, but clearly has trouble accepting feedback. The waiting time for food is very long, despite the lack of crowds. All the dishes came out of the kitchen at the same time, and the appetizers were served after the main courses, which doesnt make any sense. We appreciate the opportunity to enter the garden with the dog, which is given water and even a treat.

Its getting harder and harder to find places where both the food and service are good, but at Garrison House they went above and beyond. Perfect in every detail. Cindy was very friendly and attentive to us. We definitely recommend this place!

We have been coming to Garrison House for years and although we have had a couple nice servers, they havent lasted likely because the full time hostess is irritable and has zero customer service training. This last time was the last straw. We always spend $250+ dollars when we come for a family of 5 and they have lost our business because of this hostess who clearly hates her job. It is not kid friendly because of her even though our kids are well behaved but are not made to feel welcome there. Virgil is a town full of young affluent families and they are making a mistake by catering to retired able bodied tourists alone. The food is mediocre and some of the burgers come on paper like a greasy spoon joint when they market themselves as a high end pub. The servers bother you during your first mouthful. In Europe this would never happen as they are respectful that no one wants to be disturbed during their meal and we will alert you if we have an issue. If you are a retired able bodied tourist you will be fine. They seem to not know that come 2025, their establishment will be considered non compliant for accessibility and they will continue to lose out on 20% of their client base for not complying with accessibility legislation nevermind the penalties. Parking: No curb lip for wheelchair Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly, the only hostess is extremely grumpy and hates her job Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible except for the parking spot which is not van accessible, no ramp, no automatic doors, no accessible washroom, little turn radius for wheelchair

We found that the menu lacked variety. The taste of the food was okay, but not to my liking. The environment was cozy and pleasant, but overall, we didn t enjoy our dinner. Perhaps this place just wasn t for us, though others might enjoy it

Unreal

I have had a number of lunches at The Garrison House. Food is amazing and David Watts has been an amazing chef & owner in NOTL for many years. Ill continue to go back with family & friends .

Delicious food, friendly staff! The roasted chicken was amazing!

Great food reasonably priced

The Caesar salad was soggy and brown... The Caesar dressing was all lime... Not impressed... If you order a salad at a restaurant it should never come brown

The food was pretty good. Their soup was amazing so were the Oysters

Always a good meal.

Perfect spot and delicious food and the service was first rate.

One of my favourites in Niagara! Highly recommend the Garrison Burger - always cooked to perfection! Great local beer selection.

Visited the Garrison for lunch today and had the burger with fries, gravy and a Caesar salad. Seriously one of the best burgers I ve ever had! The fries were homemade as was the entire meal, every detail was immaculate. Our one recommendation is that they change the music, it was not well suited to the environment at all. Other than that, the food, the service, everything was top notch!

Not 4.4/5. No atmosphere. Food ok but very slow. Be prepared to spend 40 mins waiting for average food. Staff were not responsive to the challenge of seating a disabled person on a more or less empty the patio by moving a table. Better to go into Niagara on the Lake.

One of the best meals. Great friendly staff

The calamari and the sauce it came with was hands down the BEST!

Very busy, great food. Lots of staff. Everyone happy helpful. I would say one of the best steak and Chios despite being sirloin. The curried pork had separate flavours which I like Food : 5/5

Service and food were both great! Garrett is a great server, give him a raise!!!

Great spot and nicely designed upscale pub. The food options were really good, and local drink options are always appreciated.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was sooo good.

The food was just incredibly good - we had the nduja toast, the birria tacos (these were a special), and the chicken schnitzel and they were all fantastic. Dietary restrictions: They were able to handle a peanut and shellfish allergy despite having both on the menu!

Delicious food. Compliments to the chef. Incredible complex dishes. Had almost everything on the menu and it was all delicious. Fish and chips, duck reginetta, turkey burger, Including all the desserts grape crème brûlée.. sticky toffee pudding. Wow. everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dish. Only had time to snap a photo of the fish and chips. 10/10. Great service and nice clean bathrooms. Warm ambience not too loud. Great natural light. Good vibes.

The chicken schnitzel was AMAZING! Its not easy to elevate a seemingly straightforward comfort food like that, but they managed to. Also, carbs & I are not friends, so I asked for veggies instead of potatoes. Most places give me a few wilted shards of asparagus or overdone broccoli when I make an ask like that, but this place plated a perfectly-steamed medley of vegetables, taking care with presentation. The brussel sprouts appetizer was also amazing and easily the best brussel sprouts Ive had in my life, but there was a lot: it was BIG. I couldnt finish my entree and had to get the remainder to go. We are absolutely coming back on our next visit to NOTL.

Get. The. Gravy. Amazing meal, great atmosphere, fantastic service. Well be back over and over! Food

We have been to the Garrison House a few times, and were looking forward to the visit this time. We arrived and were shown to our table, the waitress brought over a bottle of chilled water and left the menus. I understand that menus need to change from time to time and dont always fit peoples likes and dislikes, but this time we found it very limited to what we enjoy. There was a smaller menu card called off the board out of the seven items on there, three were sold out, as it was mid week I found this very strange, the stranger thing was that one item was fish and chips, not sure if they were keeping the fish for the fish fry on the Friday night, which is not a good thing. The wait was longer than usual, but the food made up for it. We ordered Black Lager cottage pie, which came with green beans, yellow beans, broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus, which were all cooked very nice. The cottage pie consisted of ground beef topped with mash potatoe and aged Cheddar, and again was very nice, we also ordered a side of sautéd mushroom. For dessert I ordered strawberry and rhubarb Creme Brule, and again it tasted very nice. The prices were very reasonable. There are no reservations, so I would get there early especially if you want to go on the patio. I would recommend The Garrison House and I will certainly check out the menu when we are in NOTL next time. There is a good selection of local and non local beers. Parking: About 30 spaces in front of the building. The car park is shared with Hand Made Presence, Shoppers and a Dental office. Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed, there are no strollers allowed in the restaurant, but car seats are ok.

The food was amazing,The burger had so much flavour and the burger was so juicy.

Great super friendly waitress

Great place, amazing food! The Garrison Burger is absolutely perfect! One of the best burgers I ve ever tried. Highly recommended! Food : 5/5

Love coming here with my partner for prime rib Sundays! Never had a bad meal here! Its always a great meal!

Great food, a bit more on the pricey side but quality ingredients and cooked with care. Service excellent. Venue ok but not a fantastic dine in experience given its location next to a parking lot in and open field and lack of views from lack of windows and absence of a patio.

Prime Rib sandwich special was excellent 9/10 Food : 5/5

the food was really amazing but what really impressed me the most was the attention the waiter was had a wonderful attitude and pay attention to everyone of us, I highly recommend this place.

Kid-friendliness: They do have a Kids Menu. My child gobbled up her massive grilled cheese and awesome French fries. However I wouldnt bring a child here unless they are well mannered. Food

Fabulous food, atmosphere and service. Awesome as always!! A local favorite.

Very good food. This restaurant is a hidden gem. When you first walk in, it is a pleasant surprise. It has an awesome menu with quite a few options. I got the Vietnamese Brussels sprouts and the Garrison burger, both of which were amazing. Overall I highly recommend.

We are local. Our go to place for dinner.

There s no bad choice on this menu but the fish fry on Fridays is

Very yummy food and even better service. Good find!

Delicious. Away from busy Niagara falls Canada side. Wait staff very friendly

Great food and service.

Excellent

Pretty tasty food. Very friendly staff. Clean washrooms There were 7 of us and each got a separate kind of food and nobody complained about the taste. A great place to have a tasty dinner.

Popped in for a quick lunch yesterday for the first time. Concise menu with a great local craft beer and non alcoholic selection. We ordered a few appetizers and we were pleased to receive large portions of each. The servers were very attentive and welcoming. Well come back next time were in the area. Food : 4/5

Weve been twice now - service is very friendly and the food is excellent! Definitely recommend the inhouse made fries!

While the food and atmosphere were both good, we had appallingly poor service from our designated server. The individual that was supposed to lead the experience was rude, had poor food knowledge, and within 3 minutes of us sitting down had created an uncomfortable and terrible atmosphere. Having worked in this industry for over a decade it really is disgusting to have individuals like this as the face of the restaurant. The supporting staff had more personality and are the only reason we would ever consider going back. The management needs to take action on this, as of you expect people to want to come and have a great experience, in our case with people from out of town and celebrating a birthday, then hm you need strong staff. The lady serving our table was anything but. When asked what is the base for the curries? Are they coconut based? She responded with Sir, look at the menu, as you can see they are 3 different curries For reference, the menu does not indicate the base the curry sauces are made from, and she did nothing to answer the question. I had to ask another support staff, either a busser or bar back, and he actually did what she should have done. Went and asked the kitchen for the bases. We were a large walk in, and understandably those can be hard to accommodate for a server, but any one in this field would have seen it as an opportunity. If you are going to go to this location, the food is great, from what I saw the other servers were fantastic, but ours was an insult to the hospitality culture. If we do return and she is still there we will request to not be in her section.

We visited this pub yesterday. I called first as we were a large party. In hindsight, we should have never gone. The lady who answered informed me, in a very unfriendly manner, that they only did up to tables of six. I asked if it was possible to be sat at two different tables? She asked when we would be arriving. I told her in under ten minutes. She acquiesced and said theyd accommodate us. We arrived in seven minutes. So much so that the table for eleven was still being set up. We are shown to our table and provided menus and the daily specials. Then everything went downhill. There were two in our party who have gluten and dairy allergies. The main menu had indications which dishes were GF. But the specials menu did not have any indicators. My husband asked the rude server if the curries were green or red curry and if they were made with coconut milk. Her reply, okay sir you see the menu (and pointed at it). There are three curries. If you read the menu you can see what it comes with.The menu says it comes with vegetables and rice. We were all left flabbergasted as not only was she rude and condescending, but she didnt answer the question! At that moment, I was ready to stand up and walk out. But we had guests who had traveled from the States to celebrate a birthday. So, I did not want to make a scene. Another server came around placing side plates. My son, who is a restaurant manager, asked him if he could please provide the ingredients in each of the curries. He did not know but he went to find out for us. A super friendly guy and an asset to the restaurant. He provided us a detailed list of the ingredients. As he is doing this, the less than friendly server approaches the table. She overhears one of the guests explain that she is allergic to coconut milk as nice guy is providing the list of ingredients. The rude server has the gall to say, you should always ask about and inform your server about allergies, as all of the ingredients are not listed on the menu. Um, we tried that and you belittled us. We all just laughed. This experience sadly ruined what could have been a lovely evening. The food is very good. The other servers were very friendly. But this particular server is definitely not an asset to ANY organization. I let my tip show my dissatisfaction. She questioned the amount, which I know hurts not only her. But I wanted her to know that her terrible and rude attitude was not appreciated. As we were departing I did speak to someone at FOH. She was very apologetic. In closing, I would not return nor recommend this restaurant. Only because if you have allergies or food intolerances and end up with this same rude server, you could get ill.

What a spectacular experience. The mushroom tart is a must try - we enjoyed it so much that we came back the next day during a break between events to try it again.

What an excellent place to eat . Different and tasty menu

This place is a rare find!! We tried oysters, vietnamese style brussels sprouts, shepherd s pie and an amazing fish dish. Everything in the palate was supremely delicious. Skip those long waiting queues at Queen St restaurants and give this place a try. Worth visiting.

We always look forward to going to the Garrison House when in NOTL. Unfortunately this was not a positive experience. It has been about a year and soo much has changed. Service was lovely! The food was an attempt at being different and really not great. Flavors were mediocre, and the board specials were really not put together well. 3 of us had the schnitzel that came doused in some sort of gravy, too think and on a bed of barely done onion and potato ..like a hash? ..but it was barely cooked adn really not great. The cabbage slaw was simply not good. Not sure what the intention was with that dish, but it missed the boat! The appetizers were also very mediocre... overall so much less then they used to be. My husband had the steak and frites and the steak was very salty. The steak and mushroom pie was very heavy with cheese flavor, Finally, the price has also increased significantly. I understand most restaurant costs have increased significantly, however I feel it is more expensive than the value proposition offers. Sadly disappointed

My friend arrived at my place with a Christmas dinner from your restaurant. The meal was wonderful and very easy to warm. Made my Christmas dinner a fabulous experience. Thank you and D.P. For the treat.

Service was exceptional!! The Brussels sprouts were out of this world and the burger was cooked perfectly! Was suggested by our Airbnb host. This place is farm table and will not dissappoint .

Fantastic service and selection. The burger was incredible, fries were second to none and the tomato soup the best Ive had to date.

Amazing food. The oysters were awesome. The veal loin was out of this world. The prime rib dinner was excellent minus the Yorkshire pudding that was over cooked and very disappointing.

Never disappoints! Excellent food and service! When we take a trip to Niagara on the Lake, it is our favourite place to dine! Ive tried most of the items on the menu. Every time we came I tried a different dish.

Took my wife and daughter out for dinner to take a break from turkey. Seen this restaurant reviewed on a TV show called You Gotta Eat Here and since were locals gave it a try. We were not disappointed it was everything we hoped for especially in the food. The menu is not overly large but covers enough variety in dishes and fare to please most people. We started with a dozen oysters which my wife said were some of the best shes ever had and I chose the calamari which was also very fresh tasting. They chose to share the chefs special seafood option that night which was the Artic Char. I went for the Garrison Burger with chips and a Garrison House Caesar and wasnt disappointed. Really wanted to finish off with their sticky pudding but really didnt have the room for it, will be on my list for our next visit. If you want a nice evening out for dinner you have to put this one on your list its worth the trip. They do not accept reservations and while theyre not located downtown its worth the detour to their location.

The special rib eye sandwich that I have eaten here is the best sandwich I have eaten. Extremely recommended.

Stopped in on a snowy afternoon for apps. We had the shucked oyster and fried calamari which were both delicious. The restaurant is quaint and we look forward to visiting again to try more off the menu.

My favourite place to eat in the Niagara region. Food is sensational, staff are excellent.

Called and asked if they had room for our party of 8. They said they could sit at 2 tables of 4. Arrived within 4 min and they said they could sit us at 4 tables with our children. The women laughed and said well we can accommodate you . I love this restaurant but the women at the door today was rude and ignorant.

aight imma be brief: brussels sprouts were honestly fantastic like they got the FLAVOURS MAN burger was honestly really solid and the cheese, dijon, and patty were pretty sick. fries were also nice the short rib grilled cheese was really good too pan seared pickerel was ok but it was really small the green curry was massive but i thought it was just ok overall pretty deezed but some of the portion sizes were too small

Second time back here and the food and service was just as good as the first time! Vegetarian options: Amazing vegan options! The Morrocan spiced sweet potatoes mmmm. The mushroom cavatelli also a hit!

We had amazing Fish and Chips on Friday Definitely worth coming for this. Food

Went for an impromptu dinner and loved the place. Best dinner experience Ive had in NOTL by a good distance. Food quality is top notch, friendly service -- one feels there is care and consideration put into all the food and drink served here. Beautiful room as well, nice buzz in there. Superb across the board.

An absolute must if in the Niagara On The Lake area!

Four fine meals, well served. It was Fry Day so I had the fish and chips, which was delicious. They give you malt vinegar to put on it, which you dont get everywhere. The prices arent crazy insane either.

Great place for a fantastic burger and fries. Our waitress Falen was amazing.

Great good. Upscale pub experience. Great beer selection. Great service. Made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived.

Overpriced and the food was mediocre at best. Lunch for three people was $166.58... The owner must be related to Galen Weston Jr. I will not go back (this was my first time back after the pandemic) and I was very disappointed. I have told everyone I know going to Niagara-on-the-Lake to avoid this restaurant.

The service was great and so was the atmosphere, however I was a little disappointed with the food. I cant really put my finger on it but the burger and chicken sandwich didnt taste right, there was something off. As well, my fries were very salty. I do see a lot of great reviews and I did go at the end of the night so maybe it was just an off night. After Ive tried a couple of other places around the Niagara on the Lake area I might come back here and give them another shot.

Good food and drinks! Vegetarian options: They had a few veg options. Food : 4/5 |

This is one of those places that you walk in and feel at home! You are greeted with a smile and the menu keeps thats smile going. Local beer, local wine and fresh made everything. I definitely think everyone needs to have a meal here. Will definitely be coming back for everything on the menu.

I love coming here. Every time I visit NOTL I try to eat here because the food is phenomenal. The waitstaff are lovely too.

Another great meal at The Garrison House! Staff and food are excellent! You will not be disappointed!

Overall, the dining experience was quite good. Staff were reasonably attentive and went out of their way to ensure that our glasses were full. Quality of the ingredients was mediocre compared to previous dining at this location.

Food was delicious. Great service. Highly recommend.

We were there at lunch on Friday and everything was amazing. We were a party of 6 and everyone was happy with their meals and Appetizers. The brisket burgers are one of the best burgers I have had. Others in the party had the fish and chips and raved about them. Dietary restrictions: The chef was very honest and helpful with my and my other party members allergies.

Great evening delicious food and wonderful company!!

Nice restaurant close to Niagara on the lake. Great stop after or before winery tasting. Friendly staff. The steak was delicious. The burger was good. No reservation was required.

Must try the Garrison Burger .. it s delicious

Great atmosphere, staff and craft beer selection. Probably the best food in Niagara. Kid-friendliness: High chairs and kids menu.

Great food.

Great food, friendly and helpful service in a comfortable casual atmosphere. It was exactly what we hoped after a fun day of wine tasting. Would highly recommend it!

I recently visited this restaurant with a party of 15 and i have to say, I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the pork sandwich and it was bursting with flavour. We all had a fantastic time and I highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food and nice service

despite having difficulty to book, was well worth the effort. The food was absolutely delicious, and I was blown away by the flavors and quality of the dishes. It was clear that the chefs took great care in preparing each dish, and it showed in the taste. The staff were also a standout feature of the restaurant. Despite being busy, they were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and able to provide recommendations when we were unsure of what to order. I would highly recommend giving it a try. The delicious food and excellent service make it well worth the effort.

Really great cavatelli dish that could best what some Italian-centric restaurants are selling. Cant go wrong with the pub staples (steak & ale, fish & chips) either. Generous portions and lovely service. Came from out of town but visited twice during my stay...

Best place for oysters

Another mint runner. Not a 5 star restaurant per se, but again, for what it is doing, it is doing it well. Service, atmosphere and of the food - all excellent.

Delicious food. Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. We had the Brussels sprouts which were unreal and the calamari. Also unreal. The steak was great too.

Honestly one of the best meals Ive had in an extremely long time . 100% recommended.

Stopped by this gastropub while we were out at wineries and it did not disappoint. You can tell that the chef crafted this menu to perfection. The sweet chili was amazing on this sandwich and the fries are made in house seasoned to perfection as the rest of the meal. Our server was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of thought out or visit. Worth the stop!

Such flavourful food and amazing customer service! I will definitely be back! Thank you

I took my mom to The Garrison House on Saturday May 13th for a Mothers Day lunch. Not being familiar with the area and using the ever famous Googled guide, it was a random pick. A smaller more intimate setting, comfortably furnished with just the right ambience of background music. The menu was exactly what I hoped it would be and the appetizers and main course well prepared with quality ingredients. Service? Top notch with friendly staff. To this I must say thanks to Cindy who made the time I spent there with my mom special.

We went here on a Thursday for dinner. We were seated right away. We had calamari, steak & ale pie, roasted chicken supreme, their soup for that day- chilled artichoke, and desserts. All of them are delicious. We didn t get to order any of their wines, maybe next time. The portion is enough for us and the pricing is reasonable. It is situated in a plaza so parking is not an issue. The drive going there is quite nice. The staff are amazing! Will be surely visiting again.

If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would. I have never had a better meal before. I was shocked at how good the food and service was.

A nice local spot with great staff!

Simple menu. Great food. Good beers on tap.

Wonderful meal and great service

Place was pretty nice, very pricey for 2 Ceasar salads and 1 beer 1 Ceasar drink and 1 fry was $90 . I will be back to check the rest out, maybe better places to eat? But frys were good.

The eggplant ricotta dip is absolutely amazing. forgot to get a picture of it but trust me it s worth it. the description somehow does not do it justice! fried chicken plate and garrison house burger were also both amazing.

We always had a great experience here , the food is amazing and the owner and servers that work there are very nice

Top notch chef. Top notch service. Outta the park.

If they dont have the best calimari I dont know what to say. The burger was done medium and good quality. Also recommend the sticky toffee pudding it was amazing. There was no pic of the calimari but they were thick rings in what seems like panko and cooked perfectly. The fried chicken plate was also a must try.

I have driven by this place for years. A friend recommended it and it was so good. The calamari was amazing. The fried chicken plate was so delicious, the fries were great and their sticky toffee pudding to die for! Im going back next time im in the area.

Had an extremely delicious, fun dinner out thanks to this place! My friend and I didnt know what to expect, and were very pleasantly surprised. The roasted brussels sprouts with chilies and fish sauce were a real highlight; calamari was fine but forgettable. Definitely recommend the fried chicken, too.

We ordered the burgers and fries, but it was cold and the meat wasnt good.

Cool little spot, opposite a Winery so nice view, cute patio. Food was good, service was excellent.

Great spot, with super food. I had the gnocchi special, in a bacon cream sauce, which was amazing. The patio is big and spacious, which a good views of Jackson Triggs across the road. The staff were very friendly. We will definitely return.

My friends and I went for dinner before a show. I ordered oysters and calamari for dinner. It was delicious and I was a very happy woman! Service was great, food wonderful and beer, ice cold. Highly recommend this restaurant! I will return and stay for the live music.

Hands down the best food I have had in years! Get the fried chicken and the Brussel sprouts!

The food was amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Can t wait to try other items on their menu!

Had a wonderful experience with our server Jared. Very insightful with recommending food and drinks. Checking on us a few times considering that it was busy. Food portion and price was fair. Great range of wine. The only thing is that if you want to sit outside you maybe sharing a table with others which is not my preference.

Big head wine and braised beef plate, soo delicious!

Staff was so so friendly and food was delicious Vegetarian options: They had mapo tofu along with a couple of vegetarian appetizers Food : 5/5 |

Showed up and felt the staff was quite rude. We appreciate they couldn t serve us but we re told no chance when we walked through the door to be seated. We then asked for take out instead and we re told that will take too long . They didn t seem interested in helping. Ironically half the seating was empty outside. As a local this was not a typical NOTL interaction.

We went for lunch. The prime rib sandwich was wonderful and tavern fries were great. However, the caesar salad wasnt very good: the lettuce was partially brown, the dressing was odd tasting and the olives were cut up way too small. It sure needed something to make it a true caesar salad, definitely a miss and not worth ordering. Vegetarian options: I wish there were more, salmon would be good too

This place is perfect. The menu is small and that what makes this place great. Means the meals are usually great. Great care in how it all comes together. My family ordered the burger and fries. They loved it. I tired it. Very good. The fries are fresh and perfectly salted. I had the Lamb Korma. Being from Mississauga I m very picky about my Indian food and this was amazing! Fresh, Lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned. If you like it hot you will have to order that on the side. I had it over rice with fresh peas, cauliflower and peas. Over some basmati rice. Very filling. We went there for lunch and I didn t have to eat dinner. Spectacular. I will be back anytime I visit Niagara on the Lake or the falls.

Natalie and Naomi were fantastic! Wonderful customer service. Very quick, knowledgable and friendly. The food was wonderful as well. 15/10 would recommend

Awesome place. Our server Naomi was on point with amazing service, quick and helpful and super kind. The manager Natalie was helping out and making sure everything ran smoothly. She stopped by to make sure all was going well and had a great chat. Some of the best service Ive had in a long time. Genuinely you guys sre doing great, amazing job managing and trying your staff! Thanks!

The food was Great and the service was amazing. The price and portion size was also really good. The location isnt the best for the area and I wish they had a better location that felt less like a roadside restaurant.

Our visit to The Garrison House was truly one of our favorite dining experiences during our trip to Niagara On The Lake. After a long day spent on a self-guided walking tour and a visit to Fort George, we were looking for an enjoyable, relaxing dinner - and we were very pleased with what we found at The Garrison House. Quite simply, this restaurants location means that it is beyond the frenzy of the restaurants on Queen Street. Rather, this is a place where local residents congregate for dining and relaxation. We were seated at the beautifully decorated outdoor patio (as an alternative to interior seating) and enjoyed live music for the entire duration of our dinner. The dinner offerings were definitely nicer than the usual tourist fare. We selected Braised Lamb Korma and Steelhead Trout for our dinners, and we were very satisfied with the quality, presentation, and price. Our server was exceptionally efficient and hospitable. We also had a couple visits by the owner, who wanted to ensure that everything had met our expectations. The Garrison House is highly recommended as a dining spot in NOTL!

Yummy food and lovely service. Good gluten free options.

Lively atmosphere, great food and awesome service!

Food was very mid. Atmosphere was very nice.

Such a great place! Our party of 4 enjoyed our meals, they had one of the best calamari Ive ever had. Great atmosphere; very rustic and homey. I would definitely recommend!

Recommend chicken Milanese it was amazing!

Great food and a lovely restaurant overall

Great place, but loud when busy. So hard to have conversations.

Sticky toffee pudding sauce was different than usual. Good, but not classic Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance Food : 5/5 |

Service was horrible. Took too long to get food. Complaint was not taken seriously. Never visiting again

My husband and I just went here for dinner. Beyond amazing! The service was top notch. The Drinks (we throughly enjoyed the Empress 75 and Maple Old Fashion) are perfect, and the food (we had the Prince Edward oysters, tofu and the black lager pie) was melt in your mouth delicious! We havent had an experience in a very long time that EVERYTHING went beyond expectations! We highly recommend this establishment - and it is now a definite go to when we are in town! Vegetarian options: Enough options available to choose from!

We were a little disappointed by our experience at this restaurant. We ordered the cottage pie to have a small, boiling hot pot of basic Shepherds pie to be served. The fried calamari was a very, very small serving. Lamb korma was ok, the meat was cooked perfectly but lacked some flavour. The only highlight were the Brussel sprouts - deliciously cooked and perfectly seasoned. The menu have changed from the older reviews and the options are no longer as good.

We had been on a wine tour to the Niagara on the Lake with my daughter and her family and decided to have a quick dinner before heading home to Toronto. Each of us had different meals but everyone was satisfied with what they had. The service was great and the ambience too was very welcoming. I had the lamb korma with the cauliflower and it was very flavourful and satisfying at the end of the day. I did forget my reading glasses at the restaurant and called them the next day. Natalie the restaurant manager was very courteous and helpful, took down my cell number and address and couriered it to me which I received after the long weekend. Amazing service, excellent food and a great choice to have meals at any time of day. Thank you and appreciated:-)

Nice atmosphere! Service is great and friendly and food was delicious, especially the butternut squash soup with maple cream and the fried calamari with panko.

Great little spot in NOTL, really enjoyed both of our fish dishes. The swordfish is very similar to a tuna steak, maybe a little more tender, and it paired very well with the rest of the dish. Great fish n chips too. Really crispy batter and the house tartar sauce was delicious. Fries were also very crispy. Solid portions if a little pricey but the prices are pretty par for the area. Service was snappy and friendly though they were only about 1/3 full.

Simply amazing!

Great spot to eat with the kids, friendly atmosphere, great meal

Small clean place not too many options for food. Over priced but food was decent.

2 weeks of holidays and this was the best canadian food we had so far.

Natalie and Leanne are amazing and the food is absolutely outstanding. This is our go to restaurant in notl and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, reasonable prices and a fabulous location. Keep up the great work!!!

I would highly recommend stopping by here if youre looking for something to eat at a bit more upscale location. I had the halibut special. The dish was lovely in general. One specific part of it was problematic to me. The fried rice paper reduces to an unpleasant gummy texture that sticks to your teeth. The salty and crispy contrast is needed for the dish, but the execution leaves it more decorative. I think the chef was aiming for something similar to an Asian shrimp chip. Parking: I say somewhat difficult to find, as it varies with tourist season and competes with other stores in the same location.

Had the best girls weekend at Niagara on the Lake! BIG UPS SHOUT OUT to Leanne and Jared who were literally game for anything and had us laughing the entire time we were there. Amazing food *literal chefs kiss*, great atmosphere and the Staff (especially Leanne and Jared) made the whole experience amazeballs. We will definitely be coming back here for din din and hopefully next time Leanne and Jared will either be the manager or like, famous or something. What a hoot and a holler! 11/10 recommended.

Super delicious

A Little bit out of town, but a very nice location with excellent food

Waitress was terrific. Limited menu and sold out of fish. Some dishes overpriced. Angel and Harp is better by far.

Located on the outskirts of Niagara on the Lake, this quaint pub offers good food in a cozy setting....with lots of parking as well. I had a burger and fries, the burger was homemade and good. My wife had the cottage pie, which was really good. Great service and atmosphere. The location outside of the Old Town is pleasant. Highly recommended.

Our absolute favourite local go to spot in all of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Comfortable setting, great service, and the food never lets us down. We recommend it to all our visitors as well and everyone raves! A local and tourist fave!
