    Food and service were very good but it was very expensive. I think $92 incld tip for ONE person is excessive especially because we were still on the lunch menu at 4:00.

    The staff, particularly our server, was very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. I loved that my vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly for my taste. All my food, chicken skewers with rice pilaf and roasted potatoes were delicious.

    Very nice place, just a short 5 minutes walk from Festival Theater if you want to grab quick lunch before performance. Great tasty food selections and pleasant customer service.

    Our server, Angela, was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. All of our selections were delicious! The beet/goat cheese salad was the best I’ve ever enjoyed. My pork chop was prepared perfectly and plated beautifully. We also enjoyed the pasta carbonara, crabcakes, and saganski cheese appetizer. Would definitely recommend!

    The Epicurean is a place I try to eat every time I visit Niagara-on-the-Lake, going back to 2009 or earlier, and it has never disappointed. This time I had seafood linguini special as my main; it was both tasty and generous. The caprese salad appetizer (tomato & mozzarella based) and carrot cake for dessert were also good. My server was suitably knowledgeable and attentive. I will return.
