Inn on the Twenty
On The Twenty was envisioned as a place where Niagara's food and wine bounty could be presented in an innovative and inspiring way. We aim to deliver freshness and sophistication to meals that will harmonize well with the wines of Cave Spring and its colleagues in this unique wine region. Where possible, we focus on fresh regional produce that our neighbours grow here in Niagara. Our location was decided on by Leonard Pennachetti who, when looking for a building with a great cellar, happened upon the old Jordan Wines building. The building in which the restaurant is located dates back to the 1830s. The addition of the terrace, restaurant, meeting space, gardens, and many retail boutiques have totally changed the character of both the building and this end of historic Jordan Village. All in all, Jordan Village makes a great destination for a day trip, special event, or a romantic getaway. It is our privilege to enjoy Jordan everyday, we would love to share it with you.

"On The Twenty is one of our favorite restaurants on the Niagara Peninsula. We've been going there regularly for many years.
The food, service, wine, interior and exterior settings are always excellent. We highly recommended it!"

"Our friends live near Buffalo, and we live in Richmond Hill, so we meet halfway at the Inn on the Twenty for lunch every spring. This is our third year, and we have never been disappointed. The special this time was grilled trout, shrimp and calamari, which were scrumptious. The desserts were out of this world! Can't wait to go back, so we may not wait until next spring."

"If you are looking for an evening of spectacular food, wine & views Inn on the Twenty is the place to be. Seasonal menu includes only the freshest & local ingredients. Prices are extremely competitive to other establishments however, portion size & presentation and cooking methods far exceed other establishments. Inn on the Twenty is the best culinary gem in Niagara."

"I ordered the beet salad and for a lunch entree, the scallops, (on Wed.,April 3). The flavors, combinations of flavors, textures, were scrumptious. And the Cave Springs Riesling was an excellent pairing to this fabulous meal.

"Nice setting, Food was nice and tasty. We enjoyed some great wine. Seating with set back from the window as we were told we could not sit at a table for four with only 2 people. But moments after we arrived, they sat a couple at the label we had requested... Sadly, I guess it makes a difference if you're "a couple" or just a "couple of ladies"... shouldn't have tipped what i did for this but i felt generous.
might go back but felt it was a little overrated."

"A quiet, mid-week anniversary celebration in the traditionally slow winter season. Nice wine list - Cave Springs (owner of restaurant), other Niagara VQA wines and some international ones as well. Server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We were looked after well, without fawning or over-attention. The beet salad was terrific...amazing flavours. Beef tenderloin was a generous portion, cooked as requested and served without a lot of clutter on the plate. We will go back, for certain."

The food is great (but a bit over salted this time). We were there for breakfast which is delicious as well. Their fresh baked sour dough is lovely."

"We very much enjoyed the food and the ambiance of the restaurant - service was good, friendly and efficient and we would certainly recommend to others. We found the menu simple but everything we ordered was terrific. Good value for a high end restaurant and we found it comparable in many ways to Mistura or SD26 - would have like to have talked with the chef."

"We went for Valentine's day. There was a special menu which we decided to take part in.
We were presented with an amuse bouche which was an oyster with washabi foam. This was not the greatest idea I believe as many people (including my wife and I are not oyster people). We did eat it but there are really no taste to it.
Next came tuna with soy beads. It was like having sushi but without the roll. It was ok.
Next came a celery soup. It was very good and quite tasty.
Next came a red snapper cake with potato. It was too fishy tasting for me.
The main course was half a rib eye steak with a piece of carrot and parsnip. Ok but small.
Lastly a 2 moon pie & warm chocolate milk. Pie too heavy and ??Chocolate milf??"

"My husband and I were visiting the Inn and choose to have our Anniversary Dinner Inn on the Twenty Restaurant. I thoroughly enjoy a beet salad to start. My husband had smoked salmon tartar and was very pleased with his choice. We both decided on the Wellington Beef. I usually never order beef, but for some reason that is what I was craving. I am so glad I did. It was the best steak I have had in years. No exaggeration at all. my honey always will order beef on a menu so it was automatic for him to choose the steak. He also was extremely pleased. Both were cooked to perfection.
The only issue I had was we felt our waitress was a little sour. We were making small talk and it was like she was not listening at all, otherwise a enjoyable evenin"
