We gave this place a try while doing a day trip to Niagara on the lake from Niagara Falls and I'm glad we did!! We ate outside right on the water which was really nice, You can make reservations for inside but outside is walk up only. For apps you must get the steak bites. They were so good we got a second order. Everything we ordered was amazing. Our waitress was awesome and made sure we were taken care of. read more

The view was amazing! The fresh & cold soy ginger tuna "nachos" with an Asian twist were a much appreciated recommendation from my server, Melanie (she was great!). This is the location of the oldest golf course in North America. So I had a view of both Lake Ontario & the golf course. You can't beat that!! There was nice ambience & they welcomed my dog to a grass covered patio with a bowl of ice water. I'd come back! read more

Staff were cold, food and wine were good. Ambiance could be better. Overall lacks dedication. Ice wine is $22 a small glass. Spiders are everywhere on the fence which made our time very difficult. read more

The Waterfront - Margarita pizza with ice wine - Salad Near Me - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

I enjoyed my time at The Waterfront. It's a nice spot to enjoy views of the lake, even on a rainy day like it was for me. My aunt and uncle, and most of their friends it seems, come here often. It's a bit of an older crowd here, but still worth checking out. Though, make time for parking because it's street parking and there's not much of it close by. I got the soup d'jour which was potato and leek. It was yummy and comforting, especially on a cold and rainy day. The soup was savory and not over salted. My main course was fish and chips. The fish was plump, and the batter was crispy. The fries were on the softer side. I didn't try the cole slaw because I'm not a fan. Service was friendly. I would state that you should come here when you are not in a time crunch. Not that they're slow - I think the food came out in time. But you want to take the time to enjoy the food, views, and company. Lastly, the atmosphere is more on the quiet side, at least for Americans maybe (I guess I'm feeding into the stereotype but also I come from a loud family). So something to keep in mind when you're there. read more

I was here last weekend with my family on vacation in Canada. We went here during lunch time for appetizers and it was amazing! We got the Charcuterie & Cheese board, Margherita Flatbread Pizza, Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza, and Potato & Bacon Flatbread Pizza. They were all delicious, my favorite was the Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza. The ambiance was beautiful dining outside with a lake view and the staff were friendly read more

Gord and I had supper Thursday evening at the restaurant at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club. It is apparently the oldest existing golf course in North America ... it opened in 1875. I had a pepperoni pizza and Gord had a Shrimp & Lobster Roll (shrimp and lobster salad, warm croissant, pea shoots). Both were good and I took some pizza away as leftovers. Gorgeous views as the sun was setting! read more

The view is wonderful and the service was pretty good. The food was poor to fair. Fish and chips were greasy and chips were inedible. Hard greasy and cold. The seafood salad was maybe 2.5 out of 5. A large rice cake in the bottom took up most of the room where the seafood salad should have been Highly overrated from people who are normally easy to please read more

Beautiful place. Service was great and the food was amazing. The golf course was beautiful and enjoyed the scenery.

Our favorite place for breakfast in the area! Super friendly service with great, affordable food. We've came here twice on our most recent visit to NOTL, and absolutely loved both experiences. Coffee is solid and gets the job done. Our server was very attentive and made sure we always had a hot, fresh cup whenever he passed by. Don't sleep on the Eggs Benedict! Cooked to perfection with fluffy poached eggs, creamy hollandaise and smoked salmon with just the right salty bite. The avocado toast was delicious too! It was topped with a guacamole-style spread rather than fresh mashed avocado, but the flavor was top notch. We shared both dishes and thoroughly enjoyed each. The home fries are perfect, super crispy and served fresh every time! The service was excellent too. Attentive and friendly, and they let us enjoy our breakfast and coffees without feeling rushed. Beautiful views of the water when sitting by the window, which is always a bonus! read more

The hidden, affordable gem of a restaurant in picture-perfect Niagara-on-the-lake that looks right out on the Niagara river. Have a lobster bisque while taking in the country club ambiance of the place. read more

Beautiful setting looking directly over Lake Ontario! Food was delicious! Definitely recommend the Roasted Chicken Penne. Would have rated 5-stars, but they appeared to be understaffed for as busy as they were, therefore the service was a little lacking. read more

The Waterfront - Club house restaurant Xmas - Salad Near Me - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

The dining room was lovely especially because we had a waterfront view. The servers were all friendly. Unfortunately the food was slightly less than mediocre. In addition the server was untrained and could not grasp the fact that an appetizer for one person and soup for the other should be served at the same time. Overall although very friendly she seemed to be inattentive. Perhaps someone will take the time to train people properly... training can be a real benefit to everyone - management, the server and the diner. read more

You're basically paying for the view of the water if you dine here. Food was not good and neither were the drinks. After walking along Queen St browsing the shops and restaurants, we found ourself here and decided to check it out for an early dinner since they have outdoor seating on their patio along the Niagara River. I ordered a pina colada, $8, which tasted like it didn't have any alcohol at all. I also ordered a lobster roll with fries, $15 and it was a very bland sandwich. We also shared the antipasto plate, which I assumed which had a two triangles of cheese, some meats, beets, crostini, quinoa, and some other things that weren't very memorable. It wasn't good either. Service was slow and inattentive. read more

The Waterfront - Salad Near Me - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

It's a hard split between 3 and 4 stars - the food is definitely 3 stars, the view is 5, the service is 4 to 5, so we will just call it 4. Overall, a great place to come for a drink, and enjoy the view. I've tried to enjoy the food, on multiple occasions, and it wasn't much, but it wasn't terrible either - again, you pay for the view. Will repeat, as I've already done, numerous times. read more

The views from outdoir patio are amazing! You cant say that enough times. We ordered the wings and seafood sliders.the sliders were good. The wings were ok. Topped it off w/ sangria. You come here for the sunset on the lake. Again, the views are awesome! read more

Best breakfast place in town by a mile. Bonus...the restaurant overlooks Lake Ontario so the views are amazing. Dinner on the patio during warmer months is also recommended. Food is pretty good, but also very basic. But it's worth enjoying the lake breeze while overlooking Fort Niagara, across the lake in New York. read more

Having a prestigious location on the waterfront always comes with challenges. On a nice day, everyone wants to sit close to the water, some in the sun, some in the shade, some want a small table and some want one with an umbrella. Waterside patio aside, the restaurant at NOTL golf club is a great place to eat. Yes the staff seem a little young and inexperienced and the service can be a bit slow, but if you're there for a quick meal, it may not be the ideal place for you. Having visited this place a few times, I have always found the food to be excellent and the prices reasonable for its location. They do often have private events so for a better experience call ahead and make a reservation or find out if there are any events. On this visit we had the salad with salmon and the ribs with sweet potato fries. Both dishes were excellent. And the service was also good. They seem to employ team service with waiters and food runners. As for the price, they are not unreasonable for it's location. Niagara-on-the-Lake is not a cheap place. But it is gorgeous and worth the small extra for meals at such a great waterside location. read more

Came here on Sunday morning for brunch. It was good with a nice view of the lake. Lots of windows and staff to help out. Staff was friendly and courteous and willing to do group billing with our large party of 13. There was a private all-you-can-eat brunch going on in the same dining room that we weren't allowed to use. It was a bit of a bummer French toast was great but loaded with sugar. Tables were small like you would expect in a golf clubhouse and with a large group, it meant that some people were sitting in the middle of the VDACL of the table. Prices were a bit on the high side but reasonable value. read more

The Waterfront - Salad Near Me - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

First the positives: The view is exquisite. Can't beat that! We went in spring so the patio was still closed. But the the very helpful lady at the counter helped to get us a table at the window overlooking the lake. Very nice view for a meal! :). We might want to come back for lunch in the summer once the patio is open. The service was excellent as well. Very attentive and helpful staff. Now the negative: The food was mediocre at best. My pasta was tad underdone and dry. Also it was rather overpriced for what it was. but I guess you pay for the view here not the food! So there. read more

If you are looking for a patio with incredible views, the restaurant at the NOTL Golf Club is a fantastic spot! We walked here from downtown NOTL, it's slightly off the main street but very close. Be warned, it can get cold. We were absolutely freezing.... but they do have blankets available if you need one! There was confusion over who was serving us, so we were left unattended for awhile. If you are seated outside, there is a different menu than inside. You won't get bread with your entree. We were a bit disappointed since we were starving. The food took about 40 minutes to arrive. The lobster roll ($15) was good. The filling was fresh and creamy, but very salty. I had the sweet potato fries as a side. No mayo. I was still hungry after. The wild mushroom and swiss burger ($) looked delicious and more filling. I wish I had ordered it! Overall, the service is a bit slow, but friendly. The food is average. But, the view is worth it! read more

+ scenic view, + good clubhouse fare and local brews, - can get noisy Our innkeepers (Hoppy's B&B) recommended the clubhouse to us since we were looking for a scenic view for dinner, which is by the way rare in the area! From the patio you can see Toronto on a clear day, Fort Niagara on the US lake side and the many sailing boats that cruise Lake Ontario. Besides the beautiful scenery the golf club offers a really delicious menu, which you can enjoy inside the clubhouse or on the patio. It contains a tasteful fare of sandwiches, salads, and a few larger entrees like fish and chips or rib-eye steak. My favorites for sure are the chicken, brie and cranberry wrap and the pulled pork sandwich. Next to local microbrews the restaurant serves wine from the surrounding vineyards such as Reif and Between the lines. Overall a nice casual hang-out beside the more touristy and higher priced Queen Street. + scenic view, + good clubhouse fare and local brews, - can get noisy on the patio since some people are unable to get up without pushing the metal chairs over the floor forever Average price for an entrée: CAN $15-20. read more

We were disappointed that the patio was closed for an "event" aka someone's birthday party. In the end they did not need the entire patio for the party. There were plenty of extra tables out there but what ever. The so-called hostess was extremely rude to us when we went inside. She made us feel like we were inconveniencing them with our party of seven. The menu was basic and over-priced. The decor was outdated and stodgy. The food was cafeteria quality. My vegetarian lasagne was similar to a frozen entree version. The only redeeming quality was the beautiful view. Never again. read more

There is no excuse I can think of for any establishment to offer such a completely inedible meal as the one presented to me for breakfast on Sept. 7, 2019. Eggs benedict, orange juice and coffee. How hard can that be? Peameal bacon so rubbery the knife would not cut it. The eggs covered with some horrid gelatinous slop that tasted worse than it looked. And since when is orange juice 'brown' (don't even ask what it tasted like). Last weeks coffee. I had eaten here once before and remember it as being quite acceptable. But this was by far the worse meal I've been served in any restaurant in years. ZERO stars. (apparently you must list at least 1 star to verify the review....but trust me....I take that 1 star back.....ZERO stars.) read more

Indifferent service and ordinary, overpriced food. The view is nice.

This is a hard review to write ... the views are spectacular but the staff is mediocre. We had a large party with a 45 minute wait. The bar staff was friendly & attentive. We grabbed drinks & hung out on the water by the big chairs. This made the time fly by ! Smaller menu but a good amount of options. Plenty of delicious things to choose from , I tried the hummus wrap. It was really good , a friend in the group had the pork tacos & loved them! The issue here was the poor service. The waitress was not friendly & seemed overwhelmed. We had some questions instead of her going to check she just said they didn't have certain items. Until it was called out that it was in menu the answer changed to " I guess I could get that inside ". When checking out we were starting our bills with the machine ....but she stopped and said I'm gonna do this table first nevermind. I know we are a big group but this place needs more than two check out things. Totally worth the views and grabbing a drink! read more

Friendly staff, good food, great views. Their trout, lamb and steak were delicious. Crabmeat stuffed salmon was ok. Good dinner deal of soup or salad, main dish and dessert. Apple pie was yummy especially with the vanilla ice cream. read more

We sat on the patio, for the view. What we didn't realize that having a view meant poor service, and mediocre food. I had the pork sandwich which was okay, my wife had the shrimp wrap, where the shrimp was bland. We always had to ask another waiter to find our server, and the place wasn't that busy. Go there for the view, not the food or service. read more
