Steak and gnocchi entree - delicious
Izzy R.

It was our 1st Anniversary and the AG Inspired restaurant provided us with a very special dining experience - the initial welcome; the special private table; the professional and courteous staff; and the delicious food. Would highly recommend this restaurant for excellence in all areas.

Beets
Lanny H.

Searched this restaurant before coming to Niagara Falls. They open at 530pm. We had a reservation and were greeted right when we arrived. Super friendly staff. Explained the menu and the items on their menu. We ordered the beets, flank steak, bread and pork chop. The beets came out first with a very nice presentation, and beet foam (we'd never seen this before). This was a super good salad. Shortly after the entrees came out. Everything was super tasty and very filling. This restaurant is a few blocks off the main touristy areas but well worth finding it and eating here!

Must have bread pudding Ohh Myyy!!!

Over the top!!! Every beautiful plate from appetizers to main course was delicious, served well balanced- not too salty, not too raw or overcooked, Just Perfect!! Don't skip the desserts!!! The desserts were amazing!!! Not overly sweet, makes me want more to the last crumbs!! It is away from the main attraction and busy streets but not too far away, if you're in town, book your reservation and enjoy the calmness, delicious relaxing dinner and indulge in this magnificent beautiful restaurant! The service was excellent, the nice lady even recommended us places to visit and made the experience even more memorable!!!

Entrance to the hotel (restaurant in lower level)
Evan F.

Wife and I came here this past weekend to partake in their price fix Valentine's Day menu and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is in the lower level of a boutique hotel called Sterling Inn & Spa. Once inside, you are transported to a modern French inspired theme and ambiance. The chef is very much into sustainable cooking / ingredients including his own garden for locally grown produce and sources all other ingredients from Organic farms and purveyors as well. For this special menu, they had curated items from their normal ala carte selections as well as a few other unique items based on seasonal ingredients. Each meal offered three courses including an appetizer, main and a dessert. My wife and I each chose different apps (sunchokes for me, salad for her), but both had our hearts set on that beautiful looking beef tenderloin and who can't resist a dessert called Chocolate Chocolate? Our server was a transplant from the states, she was super-attentive and full of energy and smiles. It certainly added to the ambiance of the evening. My wife had a glass of red from a local (Organized Crime) which she said paired perfectly with the richness of the steak. Each dish was superbly crafted, cooked and presented. Being a three course meal, including a fourth course (bread service with an incredible whipped herbed butter)...the meal was paced so as to take your leisure and linger over every bite. Truly, the star of the entire meal was the beef tenderloins which quite literally melted in your mouth topped with melted brie and served with the creamiest mashed potatoes I think I've ever had. I would easily put this steak in my all-time top 5! We relished every bite, soaked in the vibe from start to finish and left feeling fully satisfied. Definitely a "special occasion" type restaurant, but also not to be missed if in the area.

Octopus

Well. Where do you start with this review.  My wife and I stayed at the Inn ( Separate review) and I decided to eat at AG. The ambiance in the restaurant is wonderful. Nice music playing against wonderful decor relaxes you and sets the table for what is nothing short of an exceptional meal inspired by Chef Cory.   I was welcomed by Erika my Waitress that was more than a waitress. She knew the menu well and recommended the Octopus and the Lamb with a bottle of wonderful Amarone wine. Erika was not rushed and was professionally efficient.   I have to say that Cory knows you eat with your eyes first, smell second and taste last. The Octopus dish was stunning in its presentation with immaculate detail to all the delicious bits on the plate. Wow. So good. The Lamb was no less impactful in presentation and succulence.   All in all a wonderful experience. Erika was a star. The meal was outstanding. Highly recommended for a special occasion, date night or just to treat yourself as you step away from over processed industrial prepared foods that come in Sous Vide bags. You also get breakfast delivered to the room and we enjoyed instruction number 3 for the coffee press. Enjoy the freshness that AG and Cory bring.   John and Sandi from Port Perry

Fresh always changing menu
B K.

Ag Cuisine is a hidden gem inside the amazing Sterling Inn. Niagara Falls, ON. There are so many great things to say about both of these places. For the purpose of this review, ill focus on the restaurant. When you take the elevator down to the bottom floor you are met with a well decorated and immediate relaxing ambiance. The host is quick to greet you and take you to your seat. Seating is quite comfortable and the environment is dimly lit and peaceful. There are a couple of nice corner booths, and side tables for two. There is a large gathering spot, as well as several tables side by side. Close enough to drool over other guest dishes while still maintaining privacy at your own table. The drinks are plentiful and well crafted. I highly recommend the maple old fashion or the Manhattan. If wine is your go to, well, you have a great selection of wines both imported as well as from local vineyards. For the appetizer I recommend any of the dishes. My favourite go to is the charred octopus or the waygu and smoked ricotta meatballs. Either of these would make a great main! The bread add on is worth it, freshly made and served as a variety of types of bread. There are also gluten free options available. For the main, we tried the venison bolanaise and AG burger. OMG was it delicious. The pasta is handmade and venison locally raised. The burger was cooked beautifully and the homemade bun tied it off nicely. To note. This restaurant has its own farm and gardens. You literally receive everything farm to table. The taste well represents that. Every aspect of the dishes are fresh, and I mean FRESH. I am not a bread pudding person, however I will make an exception at this place everytime i come. I am not going to try to sell this, you truly have to try it to appreciate it. I almost ordered one to go. Its that good. the service is on point and we never had to wait for anything (except maybe the bill lol). Our hostess was amazing and very knowledgeable about the dishes as well as the history of the restaurant. Solid 10/10 and recommend you try this place before any other in Niagara.

Garden salad
Chiseko I.

This restaurant is a gem in Niagara Falls City! All the dishes were excellent and the people there were very attentive and kind. They seemed to communicate well with the chef, so their timing of serving was perfect. I was impressed with the garden salad. It was very fresh and flavorful. I also liked the ginger carrot bisque and the flank steak so much. The cherry yogurt cake with meringue and citrus card was also delicious. The chef's work was artistic and fantastic indeed. Their cocktail was also excellent. I tried "Berries, Beets, Battlestar Galactica". The combination of beetroot-infused gin, blackberry, tarragon, and lemon was nice. It was my first time trying Aperol, and the Aperol spritz was a bit bitter for me. Since I do not have alcohol in my daily life, it was fun to try such alcohol. The two women who served me the dishes and cocktails were friendly and kind. The interior was elegant and beautiful. I was glad to find this restaurant.

Venison Bolognaise and Cabbage Walnut Slaw
Gab D.

Wonderful spot for dinner when visiting Niagara! We were able to make an early reservation for the bistro menu and be seated right away once they opened. Only downfall to the bistro menu is you have to be seated in the lounge area, which for a table of four, the tables were quite small. Aside from that, the ambiance was quite lovely with relaxing modern music, fun lighting (although a bit dark), and the rooms were decorated nicely. Our waitress was very friendly and promptly took our drink and appetizer orders. We grabbed a bread basket which had three different types (French, cranberry, and potato-onion - all VERY good!) and we also had the shishito peppers which were BOMB!! For dinner, we ordered the flank steak, venison Bolognaise, and the burger. Our sides were all great (can't go wrong with fries) but I highly recommend the cabbage slaw! So delicious! The garden salad was nice as well. My mother said her burger was pretty exceptional and my brother enjoyed his venison as well. My father and I ordered the flank steak rare, but we would have liked a stronger sear on the outside. We had to ask for steak knives as it was quite difficult to cut with butter knives. The garlic aioli served with our steaks was soooo good! Overall nice experience here! I'd love to come back and try out their full menu when we have more time!

Espresso crème brûlée
Matthew D.

Ok- so I'm going to be very honest with this. We checked into the hotel and the desk was pushing this place and bragging about it which sometimes makes me nervous. We decided to sneak down for a beverage first and were impressed at the decor, service and I caught a plate walking by us. We opted to have dinner there, it's pretty cool. Pick an app/entree/dessert for 99 ea. they had a few small up charges for certain things high is to be expected. Our server was Fallon, she was absolutely amazing, attentive but not over bearing.. helped out with the menu questions we had and made a few recommendations. I had the beetroot salad, beef tenderloin, and gelato trio.. the goat cheese gelato was hands down my favorite. My partner had the carrot soup, eggplant, espresso crème brûlée. We will be back for sure on our next trip this way. This is by far one of the better meals we had on our trip.

Prix Fixe 3-course menu
David N.

Was staying at the Sterling Inn where the AG is located, and had a lovely dinner here. Has an elegant interior, sort of a throwback to the 90s but in a good way. We opted to eat off the much less expensive Bistro menu, a $25 per person experience instead of the $99 prix fixe course. I had the flank steak and it was flavorful and cooked nicely. My partner had the za'atar and coconut shrimp which was likewise prepared well. I can't speak for the $99 prix fixe experience, but we certainly felt pretty good about our Bistro dinner.

Duck!
Dean P.

This lovely spot offers an amiable ambiance with a great playlist. All their veggies are sourced from their own farm. The culinary wizards behind these creations have perfected their craft. Their Signature cocktails, especially the beet infused gin, had us ordering a 2nd round. We couldn't be more pleased with our server, Melanie, and the staff. We loved our entire experience from start to finish!

Sunchokes with celery root puree and honey.

We stopped in for dinner after eloping and had an incredible experience. The entire meal was delicious, and our server, Nikki, was able to assist with food and beverage recommendations that didn't disappoint. Not only that, but she provided us with a round of prosecco on the house to toast to our nuptials and insisted on taking photos of us doing just that.

Indian candy
Yu X.

It's been a few years since our last visit to this restaurant. They completely changed the menu from a la carte to a fixed three course at $99 per person. In this way, they could sell each dish at higher price compared to ordering them alone. We each ordered one three-course, and added a main dish for the kid at $56. They provided us a basket of bread before any dish was served. The bread was a bit dry from my taste. For appetizers, we had the Indian candy and the salads. Both were decent. The salads with goat cheese fondue was quite refreshing. I just obtained some new knowledge that Indian candy was just a way of making the smoked salmon. It was dried smoked salmon. For mains, we tried the beef tenderloin (+$8), the rabbit and the branzino dish. Overall, I like the steak the most. It was so juicy and tender. The sides (spinach and mashed potatoes) were also yummy. The rabbit was a bit salty but it was still tasty. I didn't like how they cooked the seafood dish though. Other than the shrimp, every types of fish in the plate were overcooked and not having enough flavour. For desserts, we tried the gelato combination (stawberry ginger, salt toffee, chocolate brownie) and the chocolate cheesecake. Both were good but not wowing. The stawberry ginger flavour was a bit weird to me, I prefer it without the ginger flavour. Overall, everything was a little pricy at the tourists' area, but it's still worth it with the good food quality and the nice ambiance.

A small bucket of jarred sauces rounded out the setting: Hot Jamaican, spicy mustard, Wostershire, and mignonette. On the platter was freshly grated horseradish, which had a five second delay before the heat kicked in! My husband had the lobster roll, which was crammed full of large pieces of lobster!

There's a good amount of street parking here but pay attention to the signs as there are areas you can't park in between the spots you can park. I hopped in and the place was packed. I had a look into the display case, asked about some pastries as it was late in the day and they were closing soon. They recommended a pear one as it was always nice since some of the other fruits can be more tart in the winter. I settled on that and a latte. I swear it was around $6-7 which I don't think I can even get a latte for that in Ottawa. They had my pastry wrapped in no time. I was a bit nosy and popped my head into this doorway as most of the seats were taken to see if there was more seating there. It turns out that it's another part of the shop. It serves gelato and I assume it's seasonal. I'll be back to check it out in the summer. By the time I returned, my latte was ready and I was heading out the door. I had a sip of the latte and it was nice. The pastry was also a really good recommendation. I'll return to try some other things in the future.

Not a lot of people for a Sunday dinner which I was still surprised that we couldn't make reservations for 5:30 pm. At the end, the most they had was 6 tables with guests. So basically, quite empty. While we waited for our food, we were presented with complimentary chips and a dip, house made since it was still warm. Crunchy yummy!! My hubby had their burger with a salad. And he said it was pretty damn good!!! I had the eggplant Parmesan but sans the cheese. The two eggplant pieces were large and the pasta was cooked right. Smothered with lots of tomato sauce. However, I was surprised it came in a bowl instead of a plate. So indeed the presentation could be better. Overall, the taste was there and I was a happy Cat. Too bad I didn't have room for dessert. I would have loved to try their chocolate avocado cake. Sounds interesting!? Moreover, White Oaks Resort is a very nice place to stay at if you are around the Niagara-on-the-lake or Niagara Falls area. ** Don't forget to take a stroll at the back of the resort. Very calm and relaxing. They have a pond full of goldfish. Starbucks and McD is across from it so hop over for any snacks.

They also have private rooms where you can host lunches, dinners, or special occasions (weddings, birthdays, etc.). I was recently at Peller Estates for a family lunch which was held upstairs on the 2nd floor in the Founders Hall. The private room was intimate and spacious, which can seat up to 80 guests. The room also has a balcony and views which overlook the winery vineyards as well. For our particular lunch we were treated to a seasonal set menu consisting of 3 courses. Tea and coffee were included as well. For our set menu we had the following dishes: - Artisanal greens and bib salad (heirloom tomato, English cucumber, breakfast radish, Ice Cuvee vinaigrette) - Smoked chicken pasta (sundried tomatoes, green onions, penne pasta, Chardonnay cream sauce) - Merlot chocolate decadence cake (sponge toffee crumble, blackberry compote) The meal from start to finish was great! The salad was light and refreshing where the vegetables were lightly dressed in the vinaigrette which wasn't overpowering. The smoked chicken pasta was delicious with the Chardonnay cream sauce - only issue was that we wanted more of it! Lastly, the chocolate cake was the perfect ending to the lunch where it didn't feel too heavy. The sponge toffee crumble added a textural contrast to the dish as well. The whole meal wasn't too heavy and was just the perfect amount for lunch. Service during our meal was great. Staff served each table at a time and took away plates after we were finished eating. They also made sure to refill our water glasses every time we were running low on water. At the end of our meal, they also opened the balcony doors for us as we requested to go outside to take a few photos. I also walked around the retail store after my meal to look at the wines. The retail store is spacious and the tasting bar in the middle of the room was busy. Overall, a beautiful winery with many different kinds of experiences. The private lunch we had in the Founder's Room was tasty and the room felt spacious and intimate, the perfect setting to celebrate a special occasion with family. I can't comment on the planning process with the Peller Estates team as someone else in my family had organized the lunch, however, the food and service was great. Would definitely recommend checking out Peller Estates for their wine as well as food!
