We had high hopes when we booked the table and were really looking forward to our meal. However, after 4-hour drive and spending $600+, we ended up very disappointed.
I was shocked to find a human hair in my sourdough. I know this can happen, but I didn't expect it at such a supposedly upscale restaurant.
As for the food, the presentation of the food is indeed beautiful, but most of the dishes were way too salty, and hard to taste other flavours.
We ordered garden pairing as well, but from my opinion the drink and the food didn’t harmonize.
Right after lunch, both my partner and I ended up with diarrhea and had to stop at the RPM bakery to use the restroom. It was funny running into the guests who sat next to us at the restaurant, who were also waiting for the washroom.
2 stars to support local business and the plating.

Pearl Morissette is a darling, rustic winery and restaurant. We went there for lunch to celebrate an anniversary, and it was a nice chance to get away from the city to the quiet countryside. The restaurant is set on gorgeous vineyards. The building itself has large windows all around so natural light flows in beautifully. The decor is rustic, and there is just a subtle beauty to the ambiance of the restaurant as a whole.
Service was really great - our server was really personable, knowledgeable and patient (even to take photos). Then there was the food - each course was better than the next (Though savoury courses were definitely better than their desserts). Hearty, seasonal farm-to-table. Well seasoned vegetables, and well-cooked meats. All the flavours made sense. Presentation was immaculate, and for what you get, the pricing was really fair. One of our favourite experiences this year!

Updating this review. What an exceptional dining experience! This was our third dinner and, although each visit has been wonderful, this one truly blew me away. Each course competed with the last and was accented superbly by the wine pairings. Some of the pairings truly elevated the flavor palate. The sommelier and chef are game changers. They are taking food culture to another level. Very grateful to have this caliber of restaurant in Niagara.

One of the best meals we've had in Ontario.
The staff was attentive without being overbearing, the setting was stellar. We had previously tried one of the wines at a Hamilton restaurant that was fantastic, however the viognier that we tried at the restaurant was on a whole other level. The chef came out to present and talk about what each dish was comprised of which was a great touch.
My girlfriend is a chef and i'm a food photographer so we eat out a lot and this was all in all one of the best places in this country we've ate at. Between the quality of the wine and the attention to detail of the whole experience it's was great all around. We will definitely be back, many thanks to the whole Pearl Morissette crew and thank you!

Dinner at the Pearl Morissette was an experience we will remember forever. Food was perfect in every way. Highly suggest you do the wine pairing with dinner. Perfect evening.
Thank you PMR

Incredible experience at Pearl Morissette just now.
Lunch was FANTASTIC. We celebrated my birthday and loved the uniqueness of the place: ambience, service, FOOD, the pre set menu, cheese as a highlight along with the desserts, all was fabulous.
The only thing is that they don’t do anything special for birthdays. Yet, I guess being there is already very special 🥳
Thank you, PM, for a fantastic experience.
Service is fabulous.

We were out for an impromptu drive and I had heard the Pearl Morissette winery was lovely, so we found it, and pulled in. Had no CLUE this incredible restaurant had opened just three weeks ago. Tasting menu only....$48 for a 3-course lunch, $78 for 5 courses, includes gratuity! The food was simply phenomenal, as were the space, and service. This is a phenomenal find and we will be back for sure. Make a resi. It's going to be a busy one :)

We had a fantastic lunch in this very elegant restaurant. Each of the nine courses was delicious and splendidly presented. The service was excellent and the servers informative without being overbearing. A completely enjoyable experience.
