Best Seasonal Restaurants in St. Catharines

The service, ambience, and food is amazing! The steaks and filets are cooked to perfection. Good luck having room for dessert but you must for the Billy Miner pie!

The January 1st buffet was nicely presented, each section and each dish well identified. The food was fresh and tasty, not overly salted or spiced, a good balance. However I found the traffic from the main room to the food court a bit busy, I would suggest an entrance and a different exit, so not to block the lobby. Other than that, all was wonderful, nicely decorated.

An oasis of flavour in the middle of downtown St. Catherine's! Lovely spot with amazing food. We had the pork cutlet and the squash, both fantastic. Great wine list as well!

What a wonderful meal and experience! Both our appetizers were delicious and beautifully presented. The Pickled Heirloom Beets & Endive Salad was bursting with flavour. My husband raved about his scallops. Our salmon and angus beef entrees were flavourful and artfully presented. We enjoyed the Ontario Cheese Plate and the Basque Cheesecake. Each of our courses was paired with the perfect selection of Niagara College wine (including icewine). Our server Anjali went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. She genuinely cared about making our experience memorable. She even brought us complimentary sparkling wine to celebrate my birthday. Benchmark is the perfect restaurant if you want to enjoy excellent food in a welcoming and attentive environment.

The food experience was wonderful. The ambience of the room is soft lighting and beautiful decor. The atmosphere is perfect until a table for 6 women is added to the mix. Loud laughter means increased volume of music which makes that situation even louder. What can you do? The guests were having fun but the noise was hard to hear or speak over.
