NGA2 steakhouse and grill in St. Catharines

I am almost reluctant to review this for fear when others find HOW GREAT THIS PLACE IS, I will never be able to reserve a table again. 3/3 experiences that just keep getting better. Chef Nganga is a unparalleled craftsman with spices. His devotion to fine cuisine with his own distinctive flair makes it worth the drive to St Catherines.

We had a great meal here! The crab cakes are a must try app. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and topped with a perfectly paired jus. And the stuffed pork chop was flavourful and a great cozy meal. On top of all of this, the service was friendly, prompt, and you could tell they wanted their customers to have a great experience. We will definitely be back!

Really nice staff

Service was super slow but worth the wait ...steaks amazing seafood pasta delicious salads pizza all good...French onion soup was a disappointment no flavpur

The wife and i went here for our anniversary and its was the best steak i ever had great deal great food great place

As someone who regularly travels to Toronto for fine dining experiences, this restaurants food rivals that of top notch steakhouses in the big city. Our party of four shared the tomahawk steak, rack of lamb and mussels. It took a while to get our food but I promise you the wait is WORTH IT!!!! Everything was well executed. All four of us couldnt stop raving about the taste. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint, I love the fact that the owners have decided to put their energy into the quality and taste of the food. Dont let the humble surroundings fool you, this is a gem of a place and I will definitely be back. Support this local restaurant. They are making amazing food that is affordable and delicious. Parking: Free parking was easy and plenty along the sides and front of the restaurant.

This restaurant is amazing the food is amazing. The owners are amazing. Thank you so much for an amazing dinner.

Excellent food and service. A must visit in Th Niagara region.

Salmon was a tad overcooked, side veggies were very undercooked and hard. Pasta Rasta gave no indication of the cream sauce being a hot spice from a scotch Bonnet pepper and was runny like a soup. Crab cakes were delicious. Very pricey establishment. They require reservations but do accept walk-ins, lucky us.

We recently hosted a bachelorette party dinner at this establishment. The staff were friendly and accommodating. They handled a group of 14 people with ease, food was delivered in a timely manner. Now the food! Not a single person was disappointed. No notes. I myself enjoyed the grilled octopus, it was succulent and bursting with flavour. The crab cakes are some of the best Ive ever experienced, moist, full of flakey crab meat and an excellent crisp on the outside. I honestly couldve ate an entire plateful, but they were easily sharable as an app for two. Onto the main event, I know its a steakhouse but I chose the stuffed pork chop. All I can say is the sauce was everything! Unique flavour, creamy and complex. The Mash potatoes are some of the best Ive tasted, they didnt phone them in. Their texture and flavour were extremely complimentary, along with the seasonal vegetables. I cannot wait to come back and try some more items. I was also privileged to have a small sampling of the rib eye, that sauce will definitely make it hard for me not to choose it on my next visit. I also tried the Jerk Chicken pizza and what a creative pairing with the pear. Its also put the Jerk Chicken high on my list for a future visit. If youre looking for a place with an intimate atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food, look no further.

My friends and I went here for dinner and we had a lovely time but there was this one lady who was a little rude because I was standing around and apparently I was dancing around when I clearly just stood there shwing my friend my dancing shoes, (not on the resturant chairs) but other from that we had a lovely night dining at this resturant. :)

Wow this place is a hidden gem in St Catharines. They helped us celebrate a birthday party last night and everything was just amazing. We had a very large group of 20 people and they were so accommodating of us from beginning to end. The food was magic! Our whole group throughly enjoyed all of the food. We had appetizers of coconut shrimp, mussels and pizza for the whole table all of it was delicious but the mussels were the huge star, they were some of the best I have ever eaten. The service for such a large group was spot on and executed flawlessly, they were able to serve our whole group all at once perfectly cooked delicious mains. Thank you so much for an excellent meal and such an enjoyable night. This is now going to be our go to spot in St Catharines.

This hidden jam was fantastic. We enjoyed a 62oz tomahawk steak for our wedding anniversary. Definitely will return. Highly recommended. Bring friends

Great food, super service.

Food and company was excellent. The staff was very friendly. The owner came out and asked us how we enjoyed our meal. He was very appreciative. I would go there over and over again.

Gorgeous place great service and the food was Absolutely phenomenal went for my birthday and I was not disappointed will definitely be going back very soon

Great steaks, friendly service, nice atmosphere.

Ask for the cut of the day! We had a 60 ounce tomahawk steak. The chef makes a killer jerk chicken and their mushroom pizza was to die for. I can t wait to go back and try the other menu items.

An amazing culinary experience. Highly recommend. Food

Between three of us, we had the stuffed pork hop, the jerk chicken and the gnocchi. All were excellent. Also had a cheesecake for dessert and everything was great. Value for the meal was great too. Will be returning! (Most likely for the tomohawk steak that only served over the weekend)

It s been a long time since we ve had a quality steak house to frequent, so I m glad we found this gem of a restaurant. Today it was time to visit as we were looking for a new place to dine st and we can t wait to return for antihero epic meal. Rikki was an awesome hostess/server and the food was very generous portions with solid sides of substance. Good wines and bar list and desserts too. Everything was top shelf quality at a fair market price. Be hungry when you go here you may still leave with take out containers. See you there soon.

We made a reservation for an early birthday dinner for 7 people on a Sunday. It was relatively quiet maybe due to the day and time which was exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was friendly and prompt with the drink orders and soon after, the appetizers. We tried the French onion soup, beet salad, caesar salad and grilled octopus. Delicious! Our entrees arrived soon after and were hot and very well presented. The mains consisted of tenderloins and ribeye steaks, two different types of pasta and the wild salmon. All meals were excellent. My husband said the ribeye was so tender you could cut it with a fork. My mother in law, who only ever eats fish said that the salmon was the best salmon she has ever had. Do yourself a favour, if you are planning on going out for a good quality steak dinner not to mention other excellent options, please give this place a try, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back as this is our new steak house!

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. My husband had the ribeye and I had the crab cakes and the jerk chicken upon recommendations from the chef. It was outstanding! The crab cakes were the real deal- chunks of crab, arguably better than the ones I ve had in the east coast. The jerk chicken was a treat with a wonderful balance of flavour, spice and mild heat. We highly recommend this restaurant!

A very nice and classy place! Good food and vibes Food

We had a great meal, friendly service and really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere! Vegetarian options: Salads, pizzas and a grilled portobello burger

Absolutely exquisite! We did a takeout for the family and it was simply delicious. The gnocchi and NGA2 jerk chicken in particular were so full of flavour, we genuinely enjoyed our meals. Great customer service as well, I definitely recommend this restaurant. Cant wait to come back!

Amazing food! Delicious Octopus/beet salad/tomahawk Kids enjoyed as well! Will be back Recommended dishes Beet Salad

Such a nice refreshing change. Amazing steakhouse! This chef is not afraid to season! Just the right season, just the right heat! Thank you Mandy for the amazing service!

The food was fantastic! We ordered the pork chop and the tomahawk steak special (shared by 2). Portion size was generous, flavours were memorable and definitely worth the price. We will be back and NGA2 will be added to our recommended places to dine.

Stopped by this restaurant for a quick bite, the food and the service were amazing and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I will definitely be coming back as a customer. I highly recommend dinning at this establishment!

Chief cooked amazing food. Great service. I very recommend this place.

Sunday, July 7. This is the 2nd time we came all the way from Mississauga to your restaurant on a Sunday and it was closed. It was 5:30pm. This despite the sign that said youre open from 3-8 pm. In the parking lot with us were 4 other clients. As we were leaving, another family of 4 came, found it closed and left. A total of 12 people left without eating at your establishment.

We enjoyed everything Mussels for my starter were outstanding , Very friendly staff Can t wait to go back Thank you for such a great night

Quick, friendly and professional service. The food is so flavourful and portioned generously!

The food is absolutely top notch at a reasonable price. The staff weee all super friendly as well. It s our new favourite place to dine.

Heard great things so we decided to try it ourselves for our anniversary dinner. My husband is a steak snob and was RAVING! I had the salmon and it was divine. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I went for dinner on his birthday May 28th. The place is lovely and the service was excellent. Our meal was amazing. My steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were so good. Hubby had the fish of the day and he really enjoyed his dinner. We will go back there for sure, my dietary needs were met to perfection. Celiac and dairy free. Thank you!

The food and service was amazing!!! Best steak I ve ever had. Great atmosphere too!! Highly recommend!!!

Sadly the service and long wait time tainted my experience. Arrived at 530 hoping it would be fast since its early, But quickly discovered that the chef does one table at a time. Our food was served at 634! The server checked in on us at the 45 minute mark and didnt come back to upsell on the drink. She was very nice and apologetic, seeing the frustration from the long wait in the kitchen, stating there was only one chef (her tip was not affected). Bread would have helped the cause. Appetizer was the beet salad, lots of beets but not enough cheese or seasoning. The first main was the wild Atlantic salmon, which was prepared perfectly with a delicious Jamaican rub. The accompanied vegetables lacked seasoning and presentation. The second main was steak frites, where the french fries came soggy with the slab of steak placed on top of them. Seasoning was lackluster. The place is known for its Tomahawk steaks, I dont know many restaurants that serve these, so I get the appeal, and I may go back with someone who wants a specialty food course like that.

This was our second time here and it was fantastic. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent and the atmosphere is great. We can t wait to go again.

Absolutely 100% would recommend! Amazing food, great service and a relaxed atmosphere. The tomahsteak was fabulous! The mussels and octopus were outstanding. Excited to try the rest of the menu!

Something for everyone. Great atmosphere and dining experience. We had the huge ribeyes and they melted in your mouth. Definitely our choice for best steak in Niagara. We will be back!

Instant favourite. Chef is passionate and proud of his amazing cuts and it s reflected in the flavour with every bite. Would love to see a larger wine list but other than that, this is easily the best steakhouse next to mermaid in the city. Kid-friendliness: Laid back and chill, good spot for high quality food Wheelchair accessibility: Flat, no stairs, easy road access

Delicious food, great service and lovely atmosphere. I also appreciated how clean the bathrooms were. The owners were friendly and our party of 4 left with full tummies and full hearts. Thank you!

Food was very good. Had the tomahawk it was a large tasty portion. Sweet potato fries were very great. Atmosphere was amazing. It had a rustic feel

The tomahawk was awesome!!! Perfect service and ambience too. Food

We went to NGA2 as a group of 5 of us, we had the 64oz tomahawk steak to share with 2 sides and it was absolutely delicious. Another girl at the table had the rack of lamb and said it was the best she s ever had; melt in your mouth, she couldn t stop talking about it after. We left very full and very satisfied. Tried the grilled octopus, coconut shrimp (with the best dipping sauce ever) and the mussels. We absolutely loved everything and can t wait to go back. The chef came out and spoke to our table, he mentioned his specialty is jerk sauce, so we will definitely be back to try that. Thanks for the great food and fun night !

The salmon was amazing!! Rented out the back room for a private gathering and it was great. Private bar.

Our compliments to Chef Dave and staff. Just so fabulous! The service was amazing and the wait persons so kind and nice. From the appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious!

Absolutely fire steak! Great people, awesome service. Overall great place with a chill vibe. We will definitely be back!

This restaurant was recommended by folks in the Restaurant Niagara group on Facebook. Very glad we went. Friendly staff. Generous portions and very nice menu selection. We started with the beet salad and it was scrumptious. And I enjoyed the presentation of it as well. I dont know what their secret sauce is, but its delicious. We decided to try a steak. It looked great. It was the perfect color covered with a nice jus on it. The chef cooked it perfectly - served medium. It was a generous size on a bed of mashed potatoes and vegetables. I felt this cut was a little chewy, but it had some tender bites. We topped off our meal with a flourless chocolate cake, which was surprisingly moist and delicious. We would normally buy a bottle of wine but we were both tired. So we took a risk & ordered 2 glasses of house wine instead. The house wine was surprisingly ok - smooth and non-descript. A safe table wine that doesnt offend a sensitive pallet. The decor is a convergence of bar and steakhouse. It has lots of seating, a gas fireplace and an open space dining feel to it. Free & easy Parking. Wheelchair accessible.

This was my first time here and I will be a regular now, 100%. The food was fantastic! The service was fabulous and great prices! My friend and I shared the mussels (not kidding, best Ive ever had). The sauce was so fantastic I asked them to pack up the leftover sauce for me in a cup and will be eating it over pasta today! We also had the grilled octopus and ended up ordering a second. It was delicious and tender, cooked perfectly and everything was so well seasoned! For our main, we split the 64 oz tomahawk and added lobster tails. The presentation was beautiful and the tomahawk was only $120 with two sides!! We had the garlic mashed and veggies (asparagus, green beans, broccoli and carrots). Every single items was cooked perfectly... My husband was so happy when I brought him like, 3 whole steaks as left overs... this is definitely my new go to place, their other menu items look so fantastic, I have to try them all!

we called in a take out order they said 45 mins i showed up at 40 mins then waited another 20 the bar and tables were unattended our food the gnocchi was good pork chop was good, mashed potatoes were terrible caesar salad dressing was terrible we threw that out burger , ordered mustard on the side, mustard was on the bun, that was wifes lunch fir today , she does not like mustard i dont see this business surviving based on the food we received those 4 items were 100 dollars

I was so excited to try this restaurant after reading all the good FB reviews on the Niagara restaurant group. I booked a reservation and dined on Jan 27th for my boyfriends birthday. We were placed in a super cramped booth. The only way we could fit in the booth was side by side. the food was fine and server was nice but service overall was so slow. Mentioned birthday at the time of booking but no mention of it from the restaurant at all. I would not recommend to anyone plus size or tall.

Amazing !! You must try

Service Great Food Delicious First time Will definitely be returning Food : 4/5 |

Great food and service! We ll be back!

My husband and I were given a gift certificate for this restaurant. It was amazing. The food and drink were great and the staff awesome. We will definitely be back. I had the salmon and it was incredible.

Our experience here was top notch! Service was warm and friendly, food was amazing and we even had a visit from the chef to make sure we were satisfied. Cant say enough how happy we all were with our meals.

Great food and service with a smile.

This place is exceptional, which makes this our newest favorite place to have a great meal in St.Catharines. Great service, a friendly warm atmosphere and DELICIOUS food.!!!

Excellent restaurant!

Best food Ive had in a while. Vegetarian options: Good options, portobello hambuger, several pizzas and appetizers, some mains Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Where to start! The night started off on a good laugh when I got the wrong martini but it was at no charge and we all laughed after the ingredients were shared lol. The whole service staff were awesome though, our server Aliyah (sp?) she seemed nervous but she did awesome from the drinks to the being attentive to other tables and us, keep up the great work you ll do amazing :) The food itself was amazing, the beef tenderloin was cooked perfect and the flavour was unreal. Not sure I can eat a steak anywhere else now. The seafood linguine they let my girlfriend swap out the pasta type and it too also had quite the flavour and a good amount of seafood. Chef David is top shelf in our books and we will be back to try more. You won t be disappointed when visiting nga2, would recommend this place in a heartbeat. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options, dishes with no cheese etc. Parking: Lots of free parking available

This restaurant is amazing. Food was the best I ve ever had and the staff were great. The owners came out personally to greet us during and after the meal. I m not much of a meat eater; so I had salmon and vegetables - awesome! My husband had steak and fries and he agreed that it was better than some of those famous steak houses by a mile. And the portions are huge! The decor was beautiful. Everyone in our group loved it.

Unfortunately I made a reservation two weeks prior for my husband s birthday. I spoke to a young lady on the phone to book me in for Monday March 4th @9:30pm, she then booked me in for that time & date, I soon realized that online this restaurant closes @9pm on Mondays so I called back & changed it to 8:45pm which the young lady agreed to. Sometime a week after that I called to confirm & ask what time last call for drinks & food is & I was told 9pm by a different lady. On the day of my husbands birthday just a few hours before our reservations were set for, I get a call from someone saying that they close @8pm & that the person who took my reservations was wrong. They then say I could still come in but we would be the only people there & only if the servers are available. I was then told the only thing they will be serving is wings, nachos etc which I could have gotten at any local bar & grill, but I chose this location, specifically for the upscale experience & because it is known for good steaks. I was very upset. I wasn t given any solution but to come another day. Extremely inconvenient to say the least. I think it was the lack of care & not understanding the impact. I wish I was able to have had the same experience my family & friends that go there do, but it did not turn out that way. I hope that no one ever experiences this type of upset especially on a special occasion.

The best meal I have had in years. Had the Ribeye and it was delicious. Great atmosphere and great service. Affordable prices for the high level quality of food. Will definitely return for another great experience.

Tried NGA2 for the first time and everything was excellent. Crab cakes and french onion soup to start were both amazing then my wife and I split the tomahawk steak which was the special for the day. It was excellent and the sides were great as well, with lots left over. The staff were very nice and the restaurant was super clean and well lit unlike some other steak houses. If youre ever on the hunt for a great steak or an alternative to the keg I highly recommend.

By far the worst dining experience of my life. Made a reservation for 7:15pm arrived to no table and had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Once we were seated it took another 15 minutes to get a menu/water. We ordered mains but had to cancel as we had been there for 2 hours and they still had not started on our food. Ended up saving a fortune and ordering a pizza from a nearby spot. Absolutely wanted to love this place as the concept and pricing seemed great but 3 hours for a meal is a joke

Came here on 01-27-24 for my wifes birthday. When we arrived the place was almost empty, we where sat at a booth even thou we had asked for a table as I am 65 and not very comfortable at a booth. We had high expectations of this place based on other reviews. We ordered within 15 minutes of our arrival and started with the coconut shrimp, it arrived in decent time. was good, but for the price I expected more than 5 bite sized shrimp. When we ordered our entrees we waited over an hour for them to arrive. ( I understand the wait time as there were two other large parties that arrived approx 15 minutes after we put our order in so we knew and understood that the kitchen staff were likely busy) My wife ordered a steak medium well. It came very rare and was very tough. I tried some myself and honestly, I have had a better steak at a low budget truck stop. I ordered a burger which was very bland, came on a partially soggy bun and it fell apart upon first bite. My son ordered the jerk chicken which to our eyes seems slightly undercooked, we advised him not to eat that part. The service was okay, I asked for my drink and my sons drink to be refilled and only 1 was refilled. Also asked for more water and it never did show up. I still tipped the 20% but felt that I should not have. $175 all in and left dissapointed. Will not be returning, or recommending.

Came for dinner around 6pm last night. I had the French onion soup as an appetizer and the ribeye as my entree. My girlfriend got the coconut shrimp and the salmon. All dishes had so much flavour and were delicious! The entrees took a little bit of time to come out but considering how busy it was in there the service was amazing! Definitely will be coming back!

I came in on Jan 27th 2024, we had arrived at around 6:30. The place was almost empty, so we were promptly seated. All of us were excited to try this restaurant because of the reviews online, but we were not ready for what was to come. Our table ordered a round of drinks, our server forgot to bring me the drink that I had ordered, I should have taken that as a red flag, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. When we finished our drinks this is when we noticed things would be making a turn for the worse. The whole night was just a night of waiting. Waiting for drinks, waiting for our order to be taken, waiting for our food! We ordered our food at 7:30 and it did not arrive until around 9:30. At one point we had asked the server if our food was even prepped because we would have just left, but we were assured that it was coming. Our steaks finally arrived to our table, I took a bite of my medium rare steak and noticed that it was just seared on the outside and not cooked whatsoever inside, it was completely rare. I am not one to send food back, this was the first time I have ever done that. I brought my plate to the counter as I couldnt eat something that rare. When it was brought back to our table it was doused in gravy as to try to fix whatever they did in the kitchen. I was expecting a lot from this place, especially from reading the accolades of Chef David. I was thoroughly disappointed. Its been a few days since I have eaten at NGA2 and I am still haunted by this horrific experience.

Wonderful greeting upon arrival! Really enjoyed our meals! My ribeye was delicious and cooked perfectly aswell as the lobster tail and escargot which were some of the most tender I ve had. Delicious

Outstanding restaurant off the beaten path but well worth a visit - or two - or three. Try the mussels and take any leftover broth home for warming and dipping with fresh bread the next day. Heaven...

Service was great, food excellent and the owners are very friendly and so is their staff. It is a must go restaurant.

Chef will have you asking for more. Great food. You will not regret.

Attended for Valentines Day dinner. Host had a special for this date. Food was exceptional and service was fantastic. Chef took time to come to table and introduce himself and discuss his menu. We will be back!!, thank you

Phenomenal dinner. The food and cocktails were excellent. Chef came out to chat. Service was excellent! Beautiful gem of a restaurant. Can t wait to go back

My husband and I have been twice now! We clear our plates entirely. The food is So delicious.. atmosphere is warm and inviting. We absolutely love it here. We love speaking with the chef and praising him and love supporting this wonderful place. A true experience and worth every penny!!! Our new favourite date night dinner place :)

Have been meaning to try out this restaurant and decided to partake in their NYE menu! Food was excellent this man can cook a steak! The ribeye was so tender and so well spiced and cooked! I usually leave most of the veg behind but this time I cleaned my plate completely! Cheers!

Came here with my husband for a date night, service and food was exceptional. The owner and chef came out to ask us personally how our meal was. Will definitely be returning

I love love love the effort the chef puts into every dish including the dessert. 100% talent in this restaurant, we love it and highly recommend. If you are local and havent tried it. You have no idea what your missing. We love the chef and his wife. The flavors are so good, and they will absolutely make many things according to.your wants and needs

We come here for our Cornhole league every Monday night, delicious food and great service. Try the truffle fries or the jerk chicken pizza, yum yums!!!!

Monday night cornhole is filled with good food and beer. Truffle fries and jerk chicken pizza is the best!

The best rib eye I have ever had, the chef was so very nice, he came out to greet tables afterward ! Great service , great food and highly recommend you come.

Everyone needs to try this restaurant. If you want a keg priced steak with fine dining/high end flavour this is your place. We tried this restaurant based on reviews and we were not disappointed. Crab cakes were also fantastic. Everything well seasoned. We will be back and soon

If youre in St Catharines Id suggest you try. We went to the #SilverdaleGunClub for an introductory experience to shooting NGA2 was a great way to wrap up the day Things that would make the experience better The wine list is inconsistent, they were kind enough to credit Octopus was spectacular, the dressing a smidge overly vianigary Caesar,Oysters and the broth and the French Onion Soup - highly recommended All the meat dishes were a 5

This steakhouse is new to St. Catharines. I went with my family in November, and as a group, we were thrilled with the food. My fillet was done the way I like it, and, unlike most local restaurants, I could actually taste the peppercorn sauce. A thoroughly pleasant experience.

Beyond phenominal establishment. Visited this location this evening for my father in laws birthday with my wife & son. Absoloutely top notch, all around. Well be visiting frequently. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, inviting, professional, tasteful, modern, clean and so well done. The staff on hand were peofessional, attentive, concise, friendly, funny, kind and quick to fulfill any requests, including the chef as well. Now, the food... was just next level, far surpassing what I truthfully expected (otherwise I wouldnt be sitting here full, satiated and writing this lengthy review) and left me eager to sample the menu in the future (which I was informed will grow as they do) Compliments to the chef seems like a disservice of a statement. A true craftsman of the trade. The presentation of the food, the flavor, the smell creeping from the kitchen during its fresh preparation, telling of whats to come... just. Yes. All around, yes. I tried to think of something to nit-pick at, but theres nothing. If youre thinking about trying something new, or this place, stop reading this review and treat yourself. Support a new business. Heck, bring a friend and treat them too. Ill probably be there trying the steak - Cheers and thanks for the great evening!

Awesome food and very attentive staff. Cant go wrong with this restaurant. My new favourite place!!

Amazing food best steak Ive had in 30 years..all their food was seasoned perfectly and full of interesting flavors .

Came here for the first time tonight and can t say enough good things! Service was great and food was absolutely amazing. Everything was super flavourful and delicious! Cant wait to come back!

Incredibly delicious food, an attentive and welcoming staff, and an ambiance perfect for getting together with friends or a date night. You gotta try this place!

Owners are amazing, as is the food. The coconut shrimp is the best that I have had In awhile. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Great atmosphere.

Amazing new spot and a great edition to locally owned restaurants. Quality of food is excellent and youll find things on menu not available elsewhere in st.Catharines. Highly recommend

Omg!!! The best experience ever! Our server was the biggest sweetheart, the food was amazing and the drinks were also amazing. The atmosphere of this place is outstanding, so modern and chic! Rickelle, was absolutely outstanding. 10/10 recommend this place!!!

I got the Lamb it was cooked to perfection. Intimate setting amazing service will definitely be coming back!

If you are looking for a quaint restaurant with mouthwatering food come here! My husband and I both had steaks (Ribeye and Tenderloin) and they were melt-in-your-mouth delicious (even the fatty part of the Ribeye melted in my mouth) so full of tenderness and flavour I didn t even have to add salt! The asparagus was perfect! Potion sizes were just the right amount- not too little that you felt ripped-off, but enough that you ate it all gone and felt full. If you re adventurous, try the grilled octopus our first time and we loved it and would do it again!! The Nutella cheesecake was also delicious so light. Food was presented beautifully. A great restaurant! I loved that the chef/owner, David Nganga, came out and spoke to us and everyone in the restaurant ..a lovely & friendly gentleman! To sum it all up, it s not food done fast, but food done right!! Thanks for a great date night!!!!

Sampled a variety of the appetizers and each person in our party had a main. Wonderful ambience and flavours.

I m very disappointed to write this for a local private owned establishment. I can only hope the owner takes this as constructive criticism and learns from this. The service was absolutely rookie. I ve honestly had better at fast food chains, we ordered $98 steak of the day that served 2. Was told came with two apps. So we ordered 2 . Our steak was med rare as ordered, but our friends ordered med. came med rare rare. Sent back to cook more and as a compliment to the mix up was served with fried shaved yams! Ok??? Thanks I guess. They ordered mashed we ordered roasted potatoes. Screwed that up. The bill came and charged for the 2 apps that came with our meal apparently, but server screwed up and accidentally said it did! Took 15 minutes to correct bill. This place needs a lot of work if it s going to succeed in our opinion. The food was good ,but same price as the keg, with sub par service. This is my very first google review and sucks to write it.

If you re looking for very flavourful food, this is the right place to be, everything is cooked to perfection!!

To that guy Gerry Peitsch Ive had many meals there and they were great. Obviously you dont go out to eat much ( except McDonalds) but no restaurant is giving free apps before a meal. If you cant afford a great meal stay home. Also this is a new business is that is trying to stay alive. As a Legion member we support not break people down!!

Was there a couple of weeks ago with a party of 6 and we all ordered different meals. Everyone loved it and I had ordered the jerk chicken it was excellent. My only small complaint is the service was a little slow. But all in all excellent food.

Its a great place to eat. Nice presentation, excellent food, and great service.

really good steak

My third time there the food was great and the owners are very friendly and great people. Definitely be back

Tonight my boyfriend and I went to this restaurant. I have never written a google review before but I definitely had to for this place. I have nothing but amazing things to say. Our meals were absolutely delicious. I had the penne Rasta pasta and my boyfriend had the mussels and ribeye steak. He is a tough one to please and he devoured his food with no complaints. The owners are some of the nicest people I have met. The service was quick and everything came out great. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!!!

Amazing food I have been to alot of restaurants nothing like this place, the chef loves what he does. Going back to try everything on the menu

Wonderful dinning experience. We had 3 different apps and 4 different entres. Every dish was beautifully prepared with wonderful flavours. Service was perfect and even had a table side visit with chef David. Definitely recommend.

The service and food at NGA2 is the best service I have ever experienced and the food was beyond perfect! The food was on a level I have never experienced before and immediately would recommend. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don t try this restaurant. The flavours of the meals we outstanding! Rickelle and David have created a restaurant that is on a level of perfection that you need and must experience.

Food was spot on. Great place.

I cant believe how many people love the Keg when there are 100% better steakhouses around like this one. Great service and delicious quality food.

We had my wife s 50th Birthday at NGA2 last night and David, Rickelle and the entire staff, knocked it out of the park!! The Taco Bar was superb and the service was outstanding!!! A number of our guests had dinner there before the party, and they all loved it! Not one complaint. Will definitely be back!

Excellent service and food! Great atmosphere. The meals we had were top notch. We cant wait to tell our family and friends about this fabulous dining experience. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed an absolutely fantastic meal last night as part of a 70th birthday celebration. The service was exceptional and the food was incredibly delicious. My steak was perfectly cooked to my liking. Already looking forward to enjoying my next meal here and to taste more of what the chef has to offer.

This restaurant is AMAZING! The lamb is to die for - must try! The chocolate cake is also melt-in-the-mouth good. Even better than the food is the ambiance and the amazing customer service. Everyone is super nice!!! Will go here again and again!!!

The Customer service, ambiance at this place is amazing and the food is to die 4 especially the juicy lamb. Then there is the chocolate cake mmmhhhh I am definitely coming back with friends.

A wonderful experience! Terrific servers, good ambiance, and food to die for! Others have referred to Keg prices. My filet was considerably better seasoned and more tender than many I ve had at the Keg. Plus, a bonus for us, this place is locally owned. We will be back!

Have never eaten meat that was as delicious as the one ribs i ate there, really enjoyed the ambience and service, can still fill the taste of meat in my mouth even now. Definitely coming back and bringing some friends with me

Visited NGA2 recently with some friends. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, ambience was perfect and the food was extremely delicious! Chef David and the entire team outdid themselves, I d recommend trying the Rasta Pasta - you won t regret it. Go check out the place folks!

The food was amazing. Definitely worth trying out and going back. Service was excellent

Best food and friendly staff

Great new restaurant. The service was excellent and very welcoming. The food was amazing, very well prepared by the Chef. Looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu.

Apr2023: rarely do I rate a restaurant as 5-star on the first visit, but it seems well deserved with NGA2! My wife and I enjoyed Mussels in Wine Sauce, a Ceasar Salad, and a Stuffed Pork Chop. The Ceasar was average, while both the Stuffed Pork Chop and Mussels in wine Sauce were Absolute Standouts wed get again without hesitation! Well definitely be back! Thank-you Dave and Rickelle!

NGA2 (NGA Squared) is a fabulous hidden gem of a restaurant. From appetizer (chicken musaki), to entrees wild salmon with roasted potatoes, green beans, asparagus & carrots with a mango chutney and stuffed pork chop with spinach, mushroom & goat cheese, veggies & garlic mashed, to the dessert (we couldn t decide as both made in house & we are both choc lovers) the waitress Rikki asked the chef if they could take a slice of both-request was accommodated. The flourless choc cake & Nutella cheesecake were phenomenal!! All dishes were presented so nicely, great flavours, and filling. Another server Julius came to speak with us. Chef also came to the table. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff & meals very delicious. Price point a bit higher but worth it when everything tasted so amazing!!! We will be back & highly recommend.

My wife accidentally booked Tuesday April 25th for a party of 4 with guests from Winnipeg, not realising that this was a day closed for staff. Imagine our surprise that they emailed back saying they accepted our reservation. Once at the restaurant we we greeted by our waitress who was also the chefs wife with open arms. Our meal was amazing cooked to perfection and the ambiance of light jazz in the background with dimmed lights hit the spot. Cannot recommend enough and certainly will be back. Thank you for making a 65th birthday special.

Good chicken and very nice sweet potato fries

Restaurant very clean .atmosphere nice Service excellent Food very good Ceaser drinks not so good Maybe stick to wine or beers

The calming atmosphere of the room and our amazing waiter, Julius, set the tone for our evening. Our meals were perfection! We will most definately return.

First time experiencing Niagaras newest Afro-Italian inspired Steakhouse NGA2. I had the Beef Tenderloin with a Blackburn Black Lager. I cant say enough about our fantastic server Aliyah who was extremely friendly and helpful. The tenderloin, prepared to Medium perfection by Chef David Nganga was divine. Server Julius was also incredibly friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend!

The food at NGA2 is amazing!! Definitely coming back again. Excellent customer service too!

Best steak in St. Catherine. Must visit if in the area.

Fabulous food. This is a hidden Gem.

Ordered take out. Superb meal with really great customer service. Highly recommend.

Very much enjoyed our first visit, food was great, service was great and you have to try the flourless chocolate cake its amazeballs!!!!

Amazing food with great service. One of the best dining experiences I ve ever had. If your looking for a lovely place to take your significant other or family I highly recommend it.

This restaurant was a wonderful surprise. On arrival it looked like the usual Roadhouse-type grill with a bar out front, tables at the back, but with higher than usual prices. On inspection, the menu, however, looked more interesting than the usual fare. Happily, the food was simply amazing. We were a foursome, and every single dish was cooked perfectly, and the flavours and seasonings just knocked us out. Two of us had the stuffed pork chops, one had salmon, one had the beef tenderloin. I dont actually have the vocabulary to describe the flavours, all I can say is go there, you will not be disappointed. Its a gem of an eatery. Id give it six stars if I could.

Wow what a great hidden gem! Food was fantastic. The service was great. Definitely will be back. Tomahawk Steak Real garlic mashed Roasted mixed veg. .

Best place Ive eaten this side of the border.

Wow!!! What a beautiful space to enjoy a quiet relaxing intimate dinner. Chef David was absolutely amazing. Meeting all his customers and personally presenting our food. The steak was out of this world. Perfectly cooked and spiced to perfection. Price wise compared to the Keg, but so appealing to the palate. Such a quaint small steakhouse but none the less, better than most. The atmosphere here was soft and quiet. Well done team, we will be back.

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant. Our group of 8 had a wonderful experience for a birthday this eve. We all ordered different things, I had the jerk chicken which was so great! Perfect amount of spice! My hubby had the ribeye which was delicious. The birthday boy and his wife had their special 65oz tomahawk steak and it was so impressive!!! Service was wonderful and the chef/owner came to greet and check on every table while we were there. We are definitely going back!! Thanks for an awesome experience.

Beautiful ambience, hreat service and very delicious food. My husband had the jerk chicken with coconut rice while I had the lamb with fries. I tasted my husbands dish and the chicken was very well seasoned and the coconut rice the best Ive had in a restaurant. My lamb was fall off the bone and perfectly seasoned while the fries were crispy on the outside and moist in the inside. Would recommend the place 100%. Well be back.

A very nice and quiet place for you and your family & friends too. They have very good food,nice tea and other drinks too. Pay a visit to this lovely place and you will not be disappointed. Enjoy yourself

We went here for our 6th wedding anniversary. We had the coconut shrimp and crab cakes appetizers, the tomahawk steak with veg and truffle fries, and the flourless chocolate cake. The food was amazing! Easily one of the top steakhouses I have ever eaten at (this includes high end steakhouses like Ruth s Chris and Barbarian in Toronto). The owner/chef David Nganga (hence the name Nga2) also came out to greet us at our table with his wife and cousin (our server and busser). They are all super nice people and a pleasure to speak with. I would highly highly recommend everyone tries this place out. We will be making it a staple of our special occasion celebrations going forward. It s top notch dining.

An amazing atmosphere! Great vibe and the food is awesome. David and his team gave us wonderful attention and made sure that the meal was to or satisfaction. Highly recommend NGA2 for their food and service.

Food was excellent! We all enjoyed our meals. Came out in great timing and hot, so much flavour, with left overs for tomorrow! Thank you!

Three of us shared crab cakes and the beet salad. We then had the stuffed pork chop, tenderloin, and the special Wagyu ribeye. We finished with the flourless chocolate cake and Nutella cheesecake. All this supported with some wine, beer, tea, and coffee. Everything was delicious. The service was excellent and the price was fair. Well definitely be back and will recommend others to give it a go.

A fabulous place with the old skool settings infused with modernity. The salmon, beetroot and sweet potato salad is from another planet. Planning to hold a birthday party there for my son soon!

Celebrated an anniversary there tonight food excellent server Hope Great

Amazing experience and food is out of this world delicious!

AWESOME! My wife and I had dinner and drinks at NGA2 Last evening. It was a fantastic experience....from the Apps to the entrée to the dessert....and the drinks of course. Thanks David and Raquel for a wonderful evening. And thanks to Ashley...the drinks were AMAZING! Carson and Kathleen Anthony

Amazing food, wonderful chef and the service was five stars. I would definitely recommend and Im definitely coming back.

Amazing food, amazing service and company. Good vibes all around definitely coming back!

The food and service was amazing.

Tonight we dined outside of our usual places for my husbands birthday. HIGHLY recommend this place! Flavours like weve never experienced! We ordered the mussels and the grilled octopus for appetizers.... Both were beyond anything weve ever had before! Our meals? I had the lamb. Again done in a way Ive never had before. Incredible! He had the rib eye. How the chef managed to make it taste the way he did is WAY beyond us!! The best! BUT, lets not stop there! The servers and their delivery was WAY beyond anything weve ever had! 5 Stars!

What an amazing experience. Chef David came personally to our table. His culinary art is impressive. The jerk chicken entree and jerk chicken pizza were delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection. The servers were very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant I give it five stars

We had our club Christmas party here. So welcoming and friendly food was delicious. I had the stuffed pork chop( highly recommended) beautiful warm atmosphere. Going to try the jerk chicken next visit Wheelchair accessibility: Everything was very easy access

An incredible place to dine. The chef and staff are both attentive and friendly. I highly recommend checking out this gem. Food and service are top-notch!

Went here last night for a bday party food was amazing !!!!!! I had jerk chicken pizza can t wait to go back!!

Great establishment , very clean and classy and amazing staff , if you going on a romantic date or family get together this is the place for you.. highly recommend

I have visited NGA2 for the Grand Opening on November 11, 2022. The food and the live entertainment was excellent. Kudos to Chef Nganga and the crew over there!

They prepared incredibly tasty dishes that we enjoyed tonight. We had two appetizers and and our entrees featured textures and wholesome original flavours. Service was most pleasant and the menu offers something for everyone. From what we experienced tonight theres most definitely reason to make this a regular place to visit for a relaxing meal that features some truly original dishes. Take some time and give this restaurant an opportunity to surprise you with something new.
