   Excellent overall experience. Service was impeccable from our server but also had lovely interactions with several other staff. Food was excellent, great recommendations from the server and everything was delicious.

   We enjoyed our dinner but we found the restaurant very expensive. Lamb chops for $106 seems a bit high!

   Some friends and I go out to a new restaurant once a month. Last night we chose Bonterra and we were please with our choice. The food, service and atmosphere were all very good.

   Mixed reviews from our group of 5, two of us thought that overall the restaurant was outstanding..I had the pork belly, my husband had the chicken. The other three thought the food wasn't up to expectations..the clam linguini was too salty and liquidy..one thought her pork belly too smoky and lacked flavour and the third though his pasta lacked flavour. The two big hits for all 5 was the bread (crusty outside, soft inside YUM) and the house made brown butter caramel that melted in our mouths. Overall I and my husband loved it and will be back.

   Love the ambiance here! Food was good, service and food was a little slower that we expected but it was probably just an off time of our visit, and we had a wonderful evening. The whipped ricotta was delicious! We will definitely come back, we enjoyed our evening here. It's nice to have lots of free parking at the back of the restaurant. Great place.

   Such an incredible and memorable experience. We went to celebrate our anniversary and mentioned it when making the reservation. They took such special care of us and were so kind and wonderful, making this one of the most memorable dates. Food was outstanding. I will think about the whipped ricotta everyday. I got the carbonara and my partner got the duck. Both were so wonderful and delicious We finished the night with a shared tiramisu and it was the perfect end to a wonderful evening

   Wonderful food. Loved sitting outside by the fireplace on a lovely October evening. BonTerra is our favorite go-to spot

   There were a few large tables of people also dining at same time, so the noise level was exaggerated. That cannot be mitigated when dining area is one large, high-ceiling room.

   Hi Liz, Thank you so much for your review. I have made a note on the noise, but you are correct, on a busy night this is tough to mitigate. I appreciate you taking the time to leave us a five star and we look forward to seeing you again at Bonterra. Kindest regards, Lisa Kulyk General Manager

    From the moment we stepped into Bonterra, we were treated with the warmest hospitality. The staff here are not only attentive but also genuinely welcoming, making us feel instantly at home. The restaurant exudes a charm and elegance that perfectly matches its well-earned reputation. We opted for the lunch special, and each course was a masterpiece. The baby kale salad was crisp and refreshing, setting a perfect tone for the meal. Next came the squash ravioli in a lobster sauce—a delightful balance of rich flavors and silky textures that left us savoring every bite. But the highlight? The pumpkin macaron, crafted by their incredible pastry chef. It was hands-down the best I've ever tasted! Each bite had just the right amount of spice, with a bright, beautiful flavor that instantly transported me to warm childhood memories. It was the perfect end to an exceptional meal. Overall, the portions were thoughtfully sized, leaving us perfectly satisfied. This place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a dining experience that combines exquisite food, impeccable service, and that special touch that only Bonterra can offer.
