Deliciously Refined Elegance

Niagara-on-the-Lake is famous for its historic architecture, golf courses, and culinary prowess, so why not combine these into one wonderful experience? The HobNob Restaurant & Wine Bar is found in a beautifully restored 1832 manor house that overlooks the renowned Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club. The name of the game at HobNob is laidback, yet exquisite indulgence. Emphasizing the best ingredients – many from local farms – HobNob's menu provides temptations from start to finish, front to back.

Everything about Hob Nob was incredible. Our server, Penelope was so sweet and personable, the food was delicious and there was a great local wine list we really appreciated. It was worth every penny and more.

This is our fourth visit to HobNob. We come every year for our anniversary. This year they created a tasting menu for us that wasn’t even offered tonight. Seven courses. Amazing. Best meal of the year. Thanks1!

I had the most delicious lunch at Hobnob yesterday. Started the lunch with a perfectly made Cosmopolitan , followed by an excellent appetizer of oysters, and then the main event- the organic trout. I can’t stop thinking about it - literally the most delicious meal I’ve ever had. An absolute must when in NOTL. Shout out to our server Anne, who was an absolute delight!.

Great ambience. Great service. We ordered 2 appetizers (Chicken liver parfait and soup of the day), they were ok. Not so great. But the main entries were great. Braided short ribs and beef tenderloin. Great taste.

The food was amazing. The beef tenderloin and vegetable were cooked to perfection. I absolutely loved the potato gruyere. The presentation was lovely. The desert was delicious. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and the servant came with 2 glassed of champagne without being charged. The service and ambience was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant.
