Extend your stay in Wine Country, and allow us to arrange a private tasting in The Loft or another Winery Experience prior to your meal.
"The winery was beautiful and the food was delicious, how ever it was way to expensive, charging 4$ for a small cup of tea.. Absolutely ridiculous. Other than the bill the experience was good."

"Sunday lunch with wine pairings was a great experience and good value. A complimentary glass of bubbly on arrival and 3 generous measures with each course. The food was mostly good and very well presented, only complaint would be temperature of main courses which arrived at the table only tepid. Great service and knowledgeable sommelier. Despite the restaurant being very busy and a second sitting arriving we were not rushed at all."

"Took visiting family to dinner. Ambience is nice, the food is quite good but the service is VERY slow, Between some courses there was a 30+ lag. We do not expect (or want) fast food like service but waiting 30+ minutes between courses is ridiculous. Only 1/2 the party odered the tasting menu (5 courses). Again, the food was quite good (except for a very odd amuse bouche) but time between courses was extreme. Those who did *not* order from the tasting menu waited well over an 1.5 hours between appetizers and mains. Rests serving table de haute suggest the whole table orders it, they did NOT make this suggestion. Very confusing tasting menu - just he main is *supposed* to be shared and if not, they ding you for an additional $45!?"

"Can't recommend highly-enough. Locally-sourced ingredients beautifully prepared and matched with their own wines. The service was superb--well-informed staff and attentive but not hovering."

"I had a great time at Trius again this time for dinner. I ate dinner with my best friend and we tried out Trius' March tasting menu. The food was delicious and well prepared, the staff were friendly, attentive and informative and the wine pairings were just wonderful. I can't wait to go again for another tasting menu. Keep up the great work Trius :)"

"Our dinner at Trius was exceptional. Food was amazing, the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The manager used a very special decanter to pour our wine, making it fun! Our team felt special and like royalty with this dining experience. We will come back here for sure. I highly recommend Trius."

"We had eaten two times at the Trius in the Fabulicious event and found we received excellent food and wine at very attractive prices. This time, Easter Monday, we found that the quality / price was way out of line, For the price we paid food was nothing to write home about. Especially disappointing was the "sliders" main. A couple of small "hamburgers" served with some French Fries at the price of $25.95 was really totally exaggerated. The Lamb Shanks quantity wise were more than enough, but they lacked a decent gravy. Price too high for what we received.
Little wine was consumed but it was good. The service and greeting were very good.
We shall not rush back !"

"We took my elderly parents for Brunch on Easter Sunday. The staff we're great, a noisy table next to us, and the staff suggested we move without asking. The food was very expensive!! I don't mind paying top dollar if I feel I have had a great meal. We paid $250.00 that's with complimentary sparkling wine, for only mediocre food."

"We had lunch here over the weekend, and it was wonderful. The service was impeccable - we asked our server a question about certain wines to age and he was very knowledgable and even printed out a list of wine for us to look into. The food was amazing, and the wine pairings fit very well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to going back!"

"our experience was fabulous I have been to many high end restaurants the only thing I though odd was that you asked us if we wanted water at the beginning of the night -but failed to mention you charge for water service ???"

"The food we enjoyed and the service we experienced on Sunday were excellent! We were surprised by the service as we didn't expect this level of service at lunch. This is a restaurant that we would choose to spend a special occasion at."

"We went to during Fabulicious. The room was busy but the chatter was unobtrusive, barring one nearby individual. The menu was short but offered plenty of options. The starters were original and artfully presented (prosciutto wrapped romaine hearts with a crab pate, and icewine beets with feta). My maple brined pork chop with white bean cassoulet was perfect, while my partner's pan-seared salmon was also great. Her risotto might have been cooked for another 60 seconds. Both desserts were excellent, with special praise for the bitter chocolate dessert that married perfectly with the Cab Franc icewine. The Showcase series wine pairings worked brilliantly and represented excellent value."

"Our first dining experience at Trius was wonderful. We took advantage of the "Fabulicious" 3-course dinner menu and each course was terrific. With a fine selection of Trius, Hillebrand premium and other wines to chose from, pairing a wine to enjoy with your meal is easy. Staff were attentive, but not obtrusive, allowing us to enjoy our dining experience without feeling rushed. Perhaps our next visit will be during the summer, so we can enjoy the patio and the views of the vineyard."

"The food was excellent, as it always is, but because we were there for Fabulicious, the service was quite fast, which left us feeling a bit rushed, which somewhat marred the overall dining experience."

"We went to Trius as part of the Fabulicious event. The meal was outstanding and the wines matched the meal perfectly. Since we are wine club members we were greeted with a glass of Trius Brut - this was a nice touch. All the dishes were well presented and all tasted delicious. I had the beef and vegetable pot pie. The meat was cooked exactly as I like it. Would not hesitate to dine at Trius at Hillebrand Restaurant again."

"Second time here, and the service has been exemplary both times. In the winter the view is not as spectacular as during wine season, but still worth it. Wine pairings is well worth the investment. Our favourite winery restaurant."

"we ordered the paired menu. Wine glasses were wrong for 2 of the 5 pairings. one of the wines was served out of order. two of the courses were served out of order all 5 dishes were overly rich the main dish, the salmon, was over cooked and dry went for a smoke break before dessert and we were handed our coats. Obviously the staff does not communicate as a team will never go back"

"Trius (previously Hillebrand) never disappoints me. The prix fixe lunch was well presented and prepared. The scallop was great but the pork belly beneath stole the show. Beet sorbet was refreshing.Lobster quiche was short of lobster but the gravlax on top was excellent. Wine pairing was great too. The 2010 showcase pinot noir was the best pinot from Ontario I ever had, and match the capon breast perfectly. Service was attentive and courteous. If not for the distance, I'll be a more regular client."

"Superb, Exquisite, Divine!! Whatever superlatives there are in the English language, these describe our repeated dining experiences at the Trius Winery Restaurant nearby Niagara-On-The-Lake. Comparable to the finest dining establishments in France, Italy, Switzerland .... you name it ....Trius has it all!! Fabulous staff who provide that added touch to a great dinner, unbelievable amazing food, creatively designed and prepared to impress even the most discriminating palate and an ambiance that works whatever season one comes here. The appetizers of parsnip soup and salad with chevre were a tasty start to the meal. My lamb dish was to die for! My wife's pickerel prepared to perfection and our only regret ..no room for dessert!"
