Our 3-course meal with wine parings suggested by our witer was fabulous.The wine pairings for each course were perfect! Our late evening seating provided a great atmosphere for our romantic dinner for two.
The food was top notch. Perfectly cooked and exquisitely presented. The flavours of the food and the pairings of the wines were divine! We sat outside on the terrace under an enormous canopy and even on a hot day we were perfectly comfortable as we enjoyed our lunch overlooking the vineyards. The service was attentive and relaxed. Having been to Napa Valley and Tuscany, I am happy to say that this spot holds its own. Highly recommended for an intimate meal, a meal with friends, or for a small celebration ie., shower, wedding, promotion celebration etc.
We went to Hillebrand on a VERY snowy Sunday for brunch, looking for something nice in St Catharines (where nothing seems to be open on Sundays for lunch!). From the moment we came in out of the blizzard it was nothing short of an absolute pleasure. They have a prix fixe menu for brunch on Sundays for 44.95, not bad for the amazing food which followed! My scallops were seared perfectly, sweet, fresh and delicious sitting on a crunchy mustardy coleslaw. The sliders were moist and perfectly flavoured with a rich blue cheese on top. The buns were perfect, not too soft and not too hard, and the rosemary in them perfectly complemented the beef and the blue cheese. The cheese platter was delicious, an aged cheddar and something like a cambazola with potato crackers, poached pears, candied pecans and some delicious ice cream. My only critique was that nobody told me what the cheeses were and it didn't come with a knife to spread my cheese on the crackers. The Brut was crisp and flavourful and I REALLY enjoyed the Trius white (will be buying this for my next special occasion). Overall one of my top meals of all time. Thank you Hillebrand!
Pros: Food excellent. Wine, good (but see below). Service friendly and good (but see below). Cons: We waited for what seemed an eternity. Getting more and more tired, the wine almost finished, our appetites waning; we were just about to leave without eating when our entree at last arrived. Wine is significantly overpriced when compared with good European/Australian wines in other restaurants. A rip-off.
The food was not only excellent but so beautifully presented it was almost a shame to spoil the presentation by eating it! Lovely service, nice help with selecting the right wine to complement the meal. Overall we loved the entire experience.
