a week agoThe food was delicious, and the wine was absolutely amazing. I was so impressed by how perfectly it was served at the right temperature — I never knew wine could taste this good! It was even better than the pairings I’ve had at Hiramatsu in Japan. I was also delighted to meet the Japanese manager — it made me feel very welcome. Don’t forget to take home a bottle of their wine as a souvenir! 🍷

a month agoWe visited this restaurant in July for dinner and had the two-course meal. The restaurant is so gorgeous but since it was a lovely July evening, we decided to sit on the patio. The setting was absolutely beautiful, overlooking a little fountain, a grassy yard with barrels, and views of the vines. It really set the mood! The meal started with fresh bread and whipped butter, which was absolutely delicious. For starters, I had the beet salad, which was incredible — beautifully plated and full of flavor. My partner had the tomato collection, which was fresh and tasty as well. For mains, I had the beef, which I found a bit under-seasoned compared to the first course, while my partner’s fish was good but slightly plain. We were stuffed so we skipped dessert. I ordered a white wine sampler which came in the rack and since it was warm it got warm quickly so this is something for the owners to consider. Overall, we loved our experience — the gorgeous setting, service, and delicious starters made it so memorable! A wonderful spot for a summer evening experience!!!!

2 weeks agoThe estate and wine tour is a must if you are visiting niagara on the lake. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The red wine and sparking wine are a must try. The underground sparking wine cellar is one of the largest in canada! Amazing to see all the bottles stacked up. A must book wine tour in my opinion, with many opportunities to take memorable pictures

4 weeks agoThis was my second experience at Trius restaurant. We went for our anniversary this time and really enjoyed ourselves. The food is excellent and they are on the Michelin guide for a reason. I didn’t like that the bread and butter wasn’t included considering with tip and wine, this was like a $400 meal already. It was also served in a plant pot for some reason. My husband got the duck appetizer and I got the ice wine beets. He had the halibut, and I had the Cornish hen. And dessert, he had the blueberry cheesecake and I had the peach pavlova. Both appetizers were very good, the peach pavlova I think was better, but the Cornish hen was the dish of the night. Wow it was so good! Our server was very lovely, and I thought the staff was very impressive coming out with each dish and explaining every component with every course. Overall it was a great experience, and we would consider returning on another trip to NOTL.

2 months agoAn amazing experience. We did the three course meal and ate outside which was quite the experience. The meals were definitely unique and it felt like very fine dining. The servers describe everything amazingly and definitely keep your meal moving forward. The mains were our favorite parts and the dessert was unreal. Thanks for the great Michelin star experience.
