    The Treadwell dining experience was outstanding in every way! From the welcoming greeting on a snowy evening, seating in captivating, entertaining and educational seats on the end corner of the counter, ther over-the-top food, wine selections, and experienced help from our server Amy, we highly recommend the Treadwell dinner experience for anyone who enjoys food, wine, and personally attentive service. It was a treat to meet and chat with James before we left. Thank you so much for creating a memorable highlight to our long overdue return to NOTL! -Ed & Tom

    My wife and I decided at the last minute to stop in Niagara-on-the-Lake on our holiday trip from Massachusetts to Michigan to visit family. The Prince of Wales Hotel had a room, and Noble had a table. We very much enjoyed the dinner, from amuse-bouche through starter (scallops for my wife, brassica salad for me) and main (duck for her, lamb for me). We were getting full by that point but managed more than a few bites of dessert. Frank, our waiter, recommended a very good local wine. I'm looking forward to another dinner there the next time we're in the area.

    Excellent food and service. Great staff. What sets it aside from other restaurants in NOTL is the variety and number of choices on the menu plus several daily specials also. Another good feature is the wine list that includes non Ontario wines which is a pleasant change. Just a great place to spend an evening as a couple or with a group.

    This is was a great place to go for lunch with friends. Really lovely space, the weather was great, the food was delicious and so were the drinks. If I had to fish for criticisms, the only 2 were that the music was a a tiny bit too loud in our area (but when I went to use the washrooms, the music wasn’t so loud in other spots, so it just so happened we were sitting near the speakers, so c’est la vie!), and the other was that the side of fries that came with my burger was far too generous and I felt awful having to basically leave a full servings of perfectly good fries just because it was so massive! So, these weren’t huge things at all and it certainly didn’t detract from my overall opinion and experience. I would definitely go again (and just ask for the side of salad instead! 😉)
