  This restaurant is part of a private golf course atop the Niagara Escarpment. The view is stunning in all directions. The atmosphere is very country club - wood, comfy chairs, etc. I went here with a group of friends and our server was very attentive and patient with us - she even helped us by taking photos at the end of the evening. The menu does not cater to vegans - many of the dishes are meat based and contain cheese or cream sauces. Having said that, I feel like they would try to accomodate this if they are not too busy in the kitchen. Everyone enjoyed their choices and some people took leftovers home.

  I was a member at this golf club for many years and left about 5 years ago. I love the changes the superintendent had made at the course. I still enjoy playing the course but the restaurant dissappointed me (again). It was part of the reason why I left in the first place: years of terrible food. However, a friend kept telling me that since the hiring of a new chef, the food is excellent. Some up and coming star chef who won a food network challenge. We had lunch. I had the "Asian Sliders". Pulled pork with hoisin sauce on steamed white buns topped with alfalfa and green onion. It was excellent. Pork was tender and flavourful. Buns were moist. Being Chinese, I recognize the white bun as being similar to that in the BBQ pork buns served in dim sum restaurants. Perhaps this was the inspiration for this dish. It was excellent! I was told that the chef was cooking the day we were there. Lucky for us I guess. It was so good, I returned with my son for dinner a couple weeks later on a friday night. We had the asian Sliders for an app. Still pretty good although I found the buns a bit drier this time. For the mains, we both ordered the pork schnitzel. Yikes. Deep fried slab of meat. Unseasoned, tough and tasteless. Basically a pork chop battered and deep fried to oblivion. Cooking 101: flavour your meat. No seasoning at all. It was so nice to see the servers again after so many years that I didn't have the heart to tell them that the meal stunk. Ugg. I can only assume that the chef had the night off and his underlings messed it up. What a dissappointment. Inconsistency will kill an establishment. Just when I actually had a fleeting thought of rejoining the club, I get hit with another dissappointing meal. What was I thinking? Won't come back again.

  I would like to address the experience that babynet had while dining at the club. Firstly I would like to apologise about your second under par dining experience at Lookout Point. Traditionaly a pork schnitzel is not a marinated piece of meat. It is accompanied with fresh lemon. The dish is served with flavourful sides like the bacon and smoked provolone mashed and citrus sautéed cabbage. We have served many of them at the club and other then the odd one over cooked we have not encountered a compliant like this. I do understand I can not make everyone happy but strive todo so. If there is an issue please let as know that you are not satisfied while you are dining and let us rectify the problem. To have the hart to write a review after not saying something while you are there is pretty unfair. I do hope you try us for dining once again and please ask to speak to chef. I would love to rectify this experience and will be happy to sit down with you. Thank you and eat well. Chef Abbey Solomon Iron Chef Niagara and Chopped Semi Finalist.
