This was my 2nd time and as expected had to wait about half hour before being seated. This gave us an opportunity to have a drink and review the menu (I had the cider and my husband had a light beer, both were great) We were seated in their upstairs area which was slightly quieter but a nice change in scenery. Our waitress was amazing and was very knowledgeable with items on the menu. we ordered our apps and mains as we already knew what we wanted. I did notice a slight decrease in quantity of our calamari app from our first visit to next but feel it was an appropriate amount for two people to share as it is an appetizer after all. The bruschetta was amazing and I had the butter chicken which was nothing short of perfection. I wanted to do a google review and had no idea of the ownership change till I read some of the reviews. Overall my experience was great and I will definitely be returning. I would like to acknowledge if they mention a 90 minute time frame as some busier upscale restaurants do is not being money grabbing the restaurant is simply making sure to accommodate all guests in a timely manner so everyone that chose to dine is able to be seated without a long wait time. Overall my husband and I had a great experience and to our waitress you were right about the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake!! It was phenomenal!!!!! Please excuse my picture of the calamari we already enjoyed some before I took the photo

My wife and I have been to a LOT of breweries, so it honestly takes something special to wow us now… and Grist absolutely did. We both grabbed flights, and while everything was solid, there were four beers that totally stood out: • Horchata Wit – creamy, spiced, super smooth • London Fog – light, unique, full of flavour • Cantarito Sour Ale – bright, citrusy, refreshing • Smoke’d Scottish Ale – the most unique beer we’ve tried in a long time It’s rare for a brewery to hit this many home runs in one visit. For our appetizer, we got the Baked Brie-zza, and wow… dangerous. The dough (pretty sure it’s house-made) is incredible, and the Brie adds so much creaminess while the fig compote and hot honey round it all out. Just so flavourful and sooo tasty. For mains: • I ordered the Baked Chicken Parm Ziti — nice and cheesy, chicken cooked well. Noodles were slightly overcooked but I still enjoyed it. • My wife had the Smoked Tuna Tacos, loved them, and powered through the serious spice level 🌶️🔥 Our friends enjoyed their meals and drinks too. And we’re 100% coming back. The menu was super appealing and the pizza looked unbelievable — easily something we need to try next time along with a few other dishes we had our eyes on. Overall? A fantastic experience. Great food, great beer, and easily some of the most memorable flavours we’ve had in a long time.

Super cute & aesthetic, restaurant/brewery in niagara on the lake. Came here for the first time because my friend recommended and it did not disappoint! The nachos that we got were ginormous!! It can literally feed like 4-5 people. We also got the Mac & cheese with bacon and it was super super creamy and hot. The cheese pull was insane. We also got their Italian butcher pizza. They make their pizza fresh to order and I believe they use a stone oven. For drinks we got coffee, Shirley Temple and a beer. They have beer that is actually non alcoholic, that's the one we got and it taste just like beer. Everything was super delicious and we ended up getting two big boxes for the nachos as we couldn't finish everything. The staff was super kind and accommodating. They are actually dog friendly on the patio, I didn't get a picture of her on the patio but our dog is a medium/big dog. They even bought out a bowl of water for her, which was super sweet. Our server as well was very nice and checked on us several times even though we were seated outside.

Amazing taste! The tachos came in a huge portion. We ordered the macsmash and the checken alfredo pizza. The alfredo was delicious, and the macsmash tasted like a whole burger on top of a pizza, a new and tasty experience. The beers were awesome, but the roll we ordered was just ordinary. The staff were sociable and friendly. If you go on a weekend night, expect to wait about 40 minutes to an hour to get a table. Totally a wonderful experience!
