Amazing Experience! Dianna was our server, she was so friendly and helpful.
The food was amazing! I ordered the surf and turf, the lobster was cooked to perfection as was the steak! The wine selection is so unique, and it's made in the beautiful vineyard behind the house. I highly recommend this restaurant!!

Once again our experience was nothing less than wonderful!

We were immediately greeted by the hostess who offered to take our coats and seated us.
You can tell they invest in customer service training with their team and that the staff enjoys being there.

Melissa our server was very friendly and did a wonderful job of taking care of us. We appreciated the time in between our appetizer and our dinner. It was not rushed and allowed us time to enjoy the evening and the lovely 2022 Meritage that we ordered.

Chef Matt and his team once again delivered an amazing dinner. The chicken liver mousse was incredible, a must try! The surf and turf, first of all the price is amazing, and everything was perfect. Beautiful presentation and delicious!

Thank you for another lovely experience!

Peninsula Ridge is a warm, inviting restaurant that we often happily return to. Consistently a fine experience when we enjoy brunch here. Make sure to request a seat on the patio, it offers a nice view of the vinyard.
The menu is outstanding, along with their wines. Service is attentive kind and knowledgeable, This is one of our favorite places to visit and highly recommended.

Food is ok but I would expect more when you have an excellent environment and service here. The Mexican soup is great, but 2 main dishes are disappointed. Tuna taco is over seasoned, I can’t taste any tuna. Pasta sauce is not rich, no surprise. Service is great and price is reasonable.

Peninsula Ridge has upped their game. We enjoyed our meal on the deck. It was a wonderful day, bright blue skies and a warm sun. We had the mussels in Smoked Tomato Broth/Capers/Butter/Bruschetta which were to die for. We needed to order extra orders of bread to soak up the broth. It was so good. We also had the Peninsula Ridge Antipasto Platter. Also great. The server recommended the 2021 Cabernet Rosé which paired great with the mussels, the platter and the day. To finish it all up we had cappuccinos and the Decadent Chocolate Truffle Cake. Awesome. Already dreaming about our next visit.

The ambiance is great for a weekend lunch or brunch. It’s a quiet space with comfy chairs and ample light. There’s also plenty of patio space around the building for when the weather is warmer.

As for the food, it was decent but nothing special, unfortunately. We tried the Prime Rib Burger and the Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Ciabatta.

The burger was all right. I would have preferred more toppings for texture but it was a decent sandwich. The wedges on the side were not hot and quite chewy so I could have passed on those.

The chicken sandwich was a whole fried chicken breast, fresh out of the frier. This was filling and flavourful. The ingredients they use here are very fresh, so that we appreciated.

One thing we noticed was the absence of our server. Although very nice, she was quite busy with minimal time to attend to us.

Overall, it was an okay experience. We’ve been here for dinner and their strip loin was very good, so we may return for that but maybe not for lunch.

Friday date night and this restaurant did not disappoint! The property is incredible as it is surrounded by the vineyards and trees and Lake Ontario in the distance. The building itself was restored to pay tribute to its 1800s appeal, and the gardens around the patio are well taken care of.
The food and service matches the setting perfectly. I ordered lamb and she had the tenderloin, but we each had some of both. Played beautifully, and paired with the PR Cabernet Merlot.
We also ordered desert which may even have been the highlight of the night!
For an unplanned choice of restaurant we scored a big win, and will definitely plan to return soon.

This spot on the bench is amazing. The views, the staff, the food. All of it! We started with a tasting before our lunch reservation. The knowledgeable staff were wonderful, providing all the information on the different wines we had selected to try. Then when we entered the restaurant, which is in a large, old turn of the century home, we were treated like royalty. Our server, Matthew, was attentive and knowledgeable as well as very friendly. We enjoyed the soup of the day, which was a potato and leek with bacon. We also had the Gnocchi and the charcuterie board. We paired an un-oaked white Chardonnay with lunch. All was incredible. Thanks for the lovely time.
