Veraisons Restaurant

Stayed here the night of Aug 21. Stay included a 5 wine sampling and a complimentary bottle of wine in the room. The room is just ok, but the views on the patio of the room are amazing. All the employees were very nice as well. Stopped by here while traveling to Niagara falls from Maryland, and the wife already wants to come back next year.

5 stars in every catagory for Veraisons at the Inn at Glenora wine Cellars. My husband bought a valentine package this past weekend at Glenora Wine Cellars. First I loved the fact the resturant was designed inside the Inn. No need to go out in cold weather. 2nd I loved the menu which offers locally regional cuisine and local wine beer and spirits. The chef makes sure healthy choices are included in the menu. May I recommend the vegan Ravioli. Which was amazing! Loved all the veggie stuffed healthy homemade pockets which melted in my mouth. Also the beet house salad was delicious. White red beets were plated with arugula red onion and just enough goat cheese served with a nice vinageret dressing. My husband ordered the salmon. Crusted on the outside to perfection and nice and moist inside. Served with 2 sides of choice. Cocktail of choice was the "lady mamussa" featuring Glenoras wine and other goodness. A beautiful resturant and we had the perfect table next to the stone fireplace. Generous portions. Thankyou Veraisons cannot wait to visit again soon!

Overall this is a really nice dining spot if you are visiting the inn. The convenience of being able to walk right back to our rooms after a long day of wine tasting was awesome. The view overlooking the vineyard was great and the wait staff were nice. The pre-dinner cocktails were ok. The meals came with a tasty corn relish amuse bouche which was a nice little surprise. The bread was served warm from the oven and was accompanied with a trio of homemade spreads, which included a delish basil pesto and a chive butter. We tried the charcuterie board which was quite good. In addition to some interesting meats and crackers, it came with a few sliced strawberries, fresh red seedless grapes, tart dried cherries, and sweet golden raisins. The presentation was especially nice. The pappardelle exceeded my expectations. It had a very cozy and comforting feel to it with flavors that were reminiscent of the best pork roast I've ever had. As one of the cheaper entrees, I didn't feel shortchanged at all and felt the portion of meat was great. I would reorder this and would love to have it in the fall with a complimentary glass of wine or hard apple cider. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon, and it was definitely cooked to order properly and tender. He wasn't completely blown away by the dish though...feeling that it didn't really stack up to some other steak dinners he has had in the past. He did think the creative veggie and potato side worked very well together. We ended the meal with a bite of homemade dark chocolate and coconut bark and a complimentary champagne toast for my birthday.

If you are looking for a good place to eat with excellent service, good food, and a great view of Seneca Lake, this is well worth a stop. I'm not usually one to get dessert, but they have amazing desserts. I opted for the cheese cake. Love the view of the lake. I plan to go back.

Service was good and the view is spectacular. If you sit outside the open air and the view of the vineyard is very nice. The food was good. We came for lunch and the menu was small but the options were good. I had the Turkey and Brie and it was delicious. The chips were great (house made)! Overall it was very good. We probably won't come back because of convenience but we recommend it!
