Just a lovely restaurant with very good food. Wonderful ambiance. The service was superb. They have a nice wine list, also. We had the seafood pasta dish, which was excellent and very large. read more

We came to Weinkiller for our anniversary... the day after the blizzard! They stayed open for us and we were the only table when we got there and the only table all night. The food was fantastic, the famous goat cheese appetizer does not disappoint! The special salad was amazing. It served "deconstructed" style, which looked beautiful, and our server, Kailey, made sure to mention that we should chop it and make sure to blend the flavors together. Incredible. The BEST part of the experience was our server. She said she had quite a few cancellations and I'm sure it would have been more cost effective to close early, but when we called, she insisted we still come. She was friendly, informative and so, so sweet and kind. Overall, an INCREDIBLE experience! read more

Weinkeller - Spiced apple bread pudding - Wine Bars Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

I was recommended to come here for dinner. So I made reservations for a Friday evening. It wasn't busy when we arrived, only a few seated tables. We were seated immediately and given menus . It's very intimate and dim in there, I could barely see the menu so I did end up using used my phone light. We chose to do the 5 courses for $95! I ordered a glass of wine, sushi, mussels and truffle fries, filet mignon, and more mussels and truffle fries. Why more mussels and fries you ask? Because they were so freaking good! Literally that was my favorite part of the entire night. The quality AND quantity were magnificent. My significant other ordered the oysters, fried goat cheese, tomahawk porkchop with apple butter sauce, and a chocolate dessert! He enjoyed his entire meal as well. I tried a little of each and he was 100% correct about the yummy flavors, especially the fried goat cheese! That was the best goat cheese I've ever tasted in my life! And that apple cider sauce on pork chop, out of this world! read more

The food was great and so was the service. They have something like a "food flight" where we picked 5 items. One entree and up 4 sides/drinks. This was fantastic. The variety and allotted selections allowed us to taste quite a bit of food. Again, all fantastic. The stand out was the goat cheese. The atmosphere was kind of upscale-homey! Nice, warm and comfortable. read more

Great food and service. Friendly and inviting. It is a bit dark inside because it is a converted wine cellar. We enjoyed our meal and service. Go and be satisfied read more

Fun visit on a Monday night. Helpful and friendly staff. Very good beer and wine selection. We shared a roast chicken dish and a steak. Both were delicious as were the sides. Appetizer of fried goat cheese was amazing. Dining room is dark, warm, and cozy. Great place! read more

Food, service and enthusiasm and ambiance of the place is great. We had pork chop and steak, which were both great. Corn chowder was unique and amazing. Local porter on draft paired well with the pork chop. This was an easy walk from our restaurant and it easily earned its high ratings. So many great-looking menu items made it hard to choose. read more

Such a fun date night spot! We were visiting Niagara Falls for the weekend and this place was fantastic! Dark and romantic inside. It looked like an old wine cellar.

This was a great choice for us looking for a quieter, more upscale restaurant in Niagara Falls. Easily made a reservation on same day. Server was lovely and not rushed. Mussels and fries were tasty - we even asked for bread to get all the sauce! We all 3 got the pasta with shrimp, scallops, bacon crumbles and bread crumbs. The serving was huge and so delicious- still thinking about it! I do wish they had more white wine choices. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great New Year's Eve experience. From the moment we entered until we departed, the hospitality was over the top. Food was sumptuous. Pork chop and salmon were unrivaled. The atmosphere is cozy. Our Canadian friends know how to host. read more

This place is closed!!! We called the number shown and a man answered and said Weinkeller was permanently closed!!!

Food here was AMAZING! I highly recommend everything, I tasted a bit of everyone's but my dish, the Ontario chicken with woodland mushroom vermouth sauce and mashed potatoes was my favorite!! It was a great meal to end our trip in Niagara, and my favorite place to eat during both my stays here. We all did the 3-course, because we don't drink, but if you like wine, I'd recommend the 5-course so you can try the local Niagara wines. The appetizer highlights were the fried goat cheese, mussels, and charcuterie board for me! I really enjoyed my Caesar salad and everyone liked their seasonal salad and soup as well. The entree highlights were the Ontario chicken with woodland mushroom vermouth sauce and mashed potatoes, pork chops with a potato croquette, salmon with caper hollandaise, and steak with bearnaise sauce. Seafood casino was also good. Everything was so so delicious, even the vegetables were perfection. We were thinking how to cook this well when we get back home. I'm so sad that we live so far. I'd cross the border for this place. Service was also amazing, super chill, and a great introduction to the weinkeller experience when we first sat down. I loved the ambiance, a very cool earthy type vibe. I loved that they use local ingredients and serve local wines. read more

Food here was excellent! Came here to celebrate our engagement and our waiter was so kind. Our dessert plate even had "Congratulations" with a drawing of a ring on it. We ordered the pick 5 and pick 3 and ended up getting charcuterie (they boxed up the leftovers for us to take home because the platter was giant), french onion soup, pork, filet, espresso martini, and two desserts. Prices reasonable for the quantity and quality. They give you a parking token when you walk in so parking is included. Will definitely come back next time we are at Niagara Falls! read more

Visiting Niagara Falls with friends from Germany, we were looking really for some good food and ambience. The Weinkeller had great ratings on Yelp, so we went. In short: We were very happy and impressed! The concept of choosing any 5 items is a little confusing in the beginning. However, we received some instructions and then it was easy! We started with a parsnip soup which was great. The fried goat cheese is a must as well. I had the Bone in Tomahawk Pork Chop with Maple Mustard as a main dish and it was delicious. Cooked just right and juicy. The local wines are very nice. The service rounded up the experience. Very friendly and informative. We enjoyed conversations about the interesting history of the Weinkeller. The Weinkeller definitely deserves to be recommended. We will certainly be back when we visit Niagara Falls again. read more

5 course meal was soooo delicious. Our waitress was energetic and sweet. The ambience was intimate and rustic, as it was a little underground and we were placed by the fireplace. This is the best restaurant in Niagara for sure. Run away from the tourist trap restaurants that give you sky top view of the falls but outrageously priced mid food. Go here instead. So worth it. read more

During our stay in Niagara Falls, my husband and I wanted to go for a nice dinner and decided on Weinkeller. Weinkeller is not cheap, however they have a pricing structure that offers excellent value: for a set price of $80 per person, you get one entree and four items, and the four items can be any combination of appetizers, desserts, or alcohol. I had never come across this before, but I think it is brilliant -- you can have a full meal (entree, appetizer, and dessert), plus a couple of drinks, and not have a nasty bill at the end. The one problem was, there was so much to choose from, it was hard to make a decision! For our appetizers, my husband and I shared the daily soup (a creamy parsnip) and mussels in a white wine sauce; for our entrees, my husband had grilled chicken and I had the cedar planked salmon; and unable to decide between the desserts, we shared a cheesecake and a semi-freddo (frozen chocolate mousse). I'm pretty sure we each had three drinks (I love my wine!), so I was fully expecting to be charged extra for the desserts, as we had exceeded our four items each (one appetizer and three drinks), but surprisingly we were not charged -- I'm not sure if it was a miscalculation on their part or if they knowingly gave us one extra item. Although the bill shows my husband's three drinks and only two of my wines, but I KNOW I had three drinks. At any rate, the food was delicious, and the bill was very reasonable for the amount and quality of food and drink. The service was excellent (we tipped well!), and the atmosphere was great -- we were seated outside on a nice, cozy patio with lovely lighting. If you want a nice dinner in the Niagara area, I highly recommend Weinkeller, but be sure to get reservations -- we were lucky to get a 5pm reservation!

Update: if you are a party of three as we were or any other odd number of party, this is not the restaurant for you because they only serve couples per the owner. Extremely expensive! You can't just order the entree you want. You MUST order a 4 course meal. Meaning you must pick 5 items from the menu. One from each category including a drink. Cost is $95.00 per person. I will not be back here. I just wanted an appetizer but you must sit at the bar if you don't want the full 4 course meal. The prices here are CRAZY! The food was just okay, nothing spectacular. I ordered the oysters as an appetizer. I ordered oysters quite often at many restaurants. I was very unimpressed with these tiny oysters. They did not have any spectacular flavor either. If you want to add chicken to a salad that is a $16.00 up charge for a thigh. I didn't see anything to warrant these prices such as farm to table food or upscale liquor, etc.. the chicken thigh wasn't anything special with seasonings or spices, etc. however, it was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is delightful. The bar tender was friendly. Added note I did see in a different review that this is farm to table but nothing of that was mentioned by any staff, and there was nothing in the restaurant that indicated that. The menu pricing turned me off so much that I couldn't enjoy the experience at all. You're basically forced to buy more food than you might want. read more

Made a reservation here for the day of the total solar eclipse and we're glad we did! Our server was very knowledgeable and walked us through their menu with precision. They are a farm to table and source their wines from local wineries. The menu concept was interesting, a pre-set menu for number of courses but a "course" was anything from a glass of wine to dessert. The cedar salmon and chimichurri steak were very good read more

A perfect Saturday evening dinner! From the wine to the service! The way this place has their menu set up is geared towards two things one you spending at least a certain amount of money fair enough with the setting and to you getting a bang for your buck. I know that combination might sound a tad odd, but I promise you everything I eat at this place was delicious and it was at least a three course meal perfection. I cook salmon pretty often, and I'd like to think the salmon that I make at home is delicious. This salmon was next level. The salmon came out on a cedar plank that smelled like fall. I have no other way of describing it other than smoked fall and deliciousness. My appetizer was fish on a chip that was out of this world and the cheese cake was delicious, I almost regretted sharing with the hubby. If we ever make our way back to Canada I will Be heading back this place! Oh and a round of applause for this restaurant putting out what most us think! Keep your bad a*** kids at home. It's date night I don't want to see them running up and down the isles while I am eating a meal that is expensive. Sorry not sorry. 5stars worth every penny spent! read more

This place was amazing!! It is so warm and inviting! My family was visiting great wolf lodge and wanted a nice dinner. Dan was amazing and the service was phenomenal! It is a winery within a restaurant. I was able to have a red wine flight with food parings. Food: My husband and I let Dan decide on what we should get and it did not disappoint!! For apps we had the red pepper soup and beef carpaccio. The soup was so silky smooth and I loved the tang of the goat cheese. The carpaccio was well balanced and the panzanella salad cut the richness of the dish. For other apps we had the oysters, mussels, and goat cheese. The oysters were fabulous! We love Tide and Vine! The mussels had the most delicious broth and the fries had a hint of truffle. The goat cheese was amazing! I wish it had some black pepper, spice, or acid. It was so rich, but so tasty! For mains: we had the special. The bacon wrapped filet was so tender and cooked perfectly. The veggies were also amazing along with the potatoes. My husband and I were so stuffed before the mains!! The portions are generous, but we wanted to try it all!! Overall it was a phenomenal restaurant for food, service, and ambiance! We will definitely be back! read more

I wanted to love this place because our server was soo nice but unfortunately the food was not great here. Our appetizers were just so so, and our much expected steak was not cooked well and quite chewy. The flavor was lacking as well. It could be that it was an off night since it was our first time there. However, it was still quite disappointing for us for the price that we were paying. read more

Delicious! Very happy we read and followed the reviews. While it's on the main strip, this is an adult fine dining experience without being too stuffy. My favorites: definitely the goat cheese with honey, the tuna wonton, the oysters, caesar salad, mussels, and by the time you get to the entree and dessert to be honest...your stuffed so the entrees I didn't get to finish. The dessert, I ate some of it but I was just too full. The servers were excellent and very friendly. Thank you for an amazing dining experience. read more

We heard about this place online and decided to give it a try due to it being - from farm to table restaurant. Weinkiller definitely lives up to its expectations and they have a really great ordering system. The service was on point and the food was extremely delicious. Our only complaint was the steak was a little blue when we asked for medium rare. Their best dishes were definitely the charcuterie and ceviche. We would definitely go back and order the same thing minus the steak ! 4.5 /5 read more

It had been a long travel day and 5 of us were looking for something good in the tourist area of Niagara Falls. This place was on top of the yelp list so we took a gamble. The ambiance is a dark cellar with led candles and a nice bar. Our waitress explained the menu is either 3 picks or 5. You choose between appetizers, entree, dessert, and and drink included with your choices. You can pay for drinks separate too. My first appetizer was tuna and it was insanely good and so refreshing. My second item was the goat cheese appetizer, and it was one of the best apps I've ever had. It's a big portion of fried goad cheese with honey drizzle, dried tomatoes, and garlic. For my meal(and my 4 friends) I got the coffee coated filet. It was my first coffee steak and was extremely tender. The espresso sauce had a hint of coffee and I ate every bit of it. The waitress was amazing, very friendly and helpful navigating the menu. It was our favorite meal by far. This place is a must visit. read more

The service at Weinkeller is amazing. Everyone we came into contact with was polite, kind and enjoyable. Our waiter, Connor was an A+!! His recommendations, conversation, and the extras that he did just made the whole experience top notch. He is the best waiter we have had in a long time. Now the food. The 5 courses were outstanding. Absolutely everything I tasted was 10 out of 10! The fried goat cheese, the tuna appetizer, the filet were so far beyond delicious that there is no word for them! read more

The ambiance is very comforting and calm. We sat at a table near the fire place and were spaced very far from the other guests. There was an interesting menu option that allowed you to pick courses, including drinks and food. He chose the five course meal and I chose the three course meal. And you could use two courses towards a higher priced meal item , such as steak. We had so much food, we ate like kings. The bartender helped us with wine selection as we had been wine tasting all day at Niagara on the Lake. I am pretty certain we stayed past closing but our server did not rush any step of service. To note, a bottle of wine ,two coctails and six food items only cost 150$ prior to gratuity. read more

Weinkeller is a craft winery and bistro that opened in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada in September 2013. It was founded by restaurateur Chris Dobson. Dobson took the unique idea of incorporating a winery inside a restaurant with a focus towards the casually upscale crowd. In the style of a brew pub that crafts its own beer, Weinkeller does the same but with wine. The name 'Weinkeller' (German for 'wine cellar') was chosen to reflect the restaurant's location inside an old Bavarian hand carved, brick walled basement. In addition to their quality wines, Weinkeller also offers chef-inspired menus (with food under the direction of Chef William Terreberry), in-house roasted coffees, and craft cocktails. My wife and I visited Weinkeller in April 2016. We were on a sightseeing trip to Niagara Falls for four days. In addition to the titular falls, the area is also known for some great wineries just to the north in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Niagara Region is known for being the world's largest supplier of 'ice wine'. On our second day in town, we were walking through Clifton Hill (Niagara Falls' tourism district). We saw Weinkeller (which is located right next to Nightmares Fear Factory) and decided to stop by for dinner. I totally liked the whole Bavarian wine cellar look of the dining room. For wine, my wife started out with a glass of their Pinot Blanc and I had a glass of their Cabernet Franc. For our soup/salad course, my wife ordered the Winter Seasonal Salad with shrimp and I ordered the Smoked Salmon Bisque. The both hit the spot. For appetizers, my wife had the Fried Goat Cheese and I had the '4 Oysters 4 Ways'. My wife loved the goat cheese paired with dried cherry tomatoes and rosemary honey truffle oil. My oysters tasted very fresh and very flavorful. For our entrees, my wife had the Poached Salmon and I had the Filet Mignon. We were very happy with our food and wine experience! We look forward to returning to Niagara Falls in the future. We'll definitely be dining at Weinkeller again! read more
