We decided to try The Garrison House on the suggestion of a friend after a matinee at the Shaw. Was not busy and our server was very good. The burger and fries were decent. The fried chicken on a bun was extremely salted. The Tomato...basil soup was too seasoned imho. We tried it, and know many other places in NOTL we will probably go to next time which has better food.More

The meal was one of the best I have had from starter to desert in a long time. The calamari was lightly breaded with a delicious sauce. Both meals were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The desert was excellent as well. The bonus was...a great selection of craft 0.0% beer and ciders! Double bonus was a friendly and excellent server! If I was within 30 miles of this restaurant I would visit againMore

Arrived at 6 Sunday evening and were fortunate to get a table; super busy and noisy. The Sunday roast was delicious and the prime rib was cooked to a perfect very well done. My husband had the braised lamb shepherds pie; piping hot and delicious....Fortunate to get the last dessert special; apple fritters with a custard sauce - EXCELLENT. Didn’t even mind having to pay $6 for bread and butter since it was super fresh. Excellent service. Will definitely return.More

Excellent! I loved everything about this restaurant. Easy parking, lots of outside seating with shade, delicious food, lots of menu options, a polite and friendly server and a nice gift shop next door. All with the backdrop of Niagara!

So house sitting in NOTL, I searched the internet for the best burger in the area. The GH was close, but I was very pleased with my food and the atmosphere. Location is on a busier road, but the place was not dominated by tourists...and I would hazard a guess some locals appreciated the food as I didMore

While visiting the shop next door we Learned that the Garrison House could safely provide gluten free (celiac) and vegan meals and we were not disappointed! The Jungle Curry was excellent, the sleek and halibut done to perfection.

Restaurant was recommended because within walking distance of where we were staying. First glance it wasn't much but the food was great and the staff made the experience. We were there three times in one week!! My husband loved the chicken sandwich and I had...a dessert that was amazing. Our favorite place to sit was at the bar.More

Perfectly cooked fish, better than any upscale seafood restaurant that I have been to. I wish I lived closer - I would go at least once a week. All the meals were delicious. Service was superb. Very cool vibe. Fabulous time had by all.

She decided not to send it back, however she had to basically saw the steak like a piece of wood.........not good....When you are going to charge prices like that, make sure you service food that matches those premium prices.More

Tonight’s feature was pickerel from Lake Erie served with quinoa it was delicious. We also tried the roasted red pepper appetizer feature. We hope these dishes will become regulars on the menu. We can’t wait to go back!

We called ahead moments before we arrived, they said come on in! The staff was so welcoming and helpful especially since I was on crutches. We loved the look and feel, a casual ambiance with an upscale menu. The food was absolutely delicious beyond our...expectations From the Vietnamese Brussels sprouts right down to the strawberry sorbet with basil - so fresh tasting. The waiter was knowledgable and fun. When asked, he said the burger was his favourite, but my friend loves Pickerel which was on the menu. I had the slip-off -the-bone Osso Bucco. We both agree it was a perfect accidental find that we will go back to!More

Lunch stop before winery tours with 3 friends. We opted to do a bunch of shareable's. The Vietnamese Brussel Sprouts were 2nd to none and enjoyed so much we ordered another order. Service, wine & craft beers were great!
