In the Smoke Cookery - Lincoln Ave

Great burgers, and wine too. But the burger - sublime. We've been back several times - for the wines and the burgers.

My husband and I went with another couple who were visiting from Montreal. Some friends of our had told us that this was a great place for lunch. The men had the burgers and declared them delicious - large patties served with very good fries. I had pan seared trout on a barley vegetable salad which was outstanding. The fish was perfectly seasoned and moist. I finished every morsel of the salad. The service could have been better. We had to ask twice for water. The waitress came to take our food order and hadn't even taken our wine order - this Is a winery restaurant after all. The wine is decent.The food was a bit slow coming out but in fairness, it was a beautiful day and it was packed. The restaurant is in a covered patio although with the sun so low in the sky now it was shining on quite a few of the patrons. Bring your sunglasses! It does a pretty view overlooking the vineyards.

Have loved creekside wines for years and have bought wine many times in the past. Have tried eating on the patio before and have never been successful - either it was full or closed. Today we went again anticipating a relaxing lunch on their deck after a lovely weekend in NOTL. The person who greeted us told us to sit wherever we liked and she would bring us some water. The only table not in the sun (no umbrellas over those tables!) was not cleared from the previous customers so we sat and looked over the menu. We were completely ignored until we asked if we could have some water and wine. The waitress was so rude to us saying since we had sat at a dirty table instead of a clean one she didn't know we wanted to order. We said it was too hot to sit in the sun. First she gave us someone else's meals and took them away then practically threw our plates at us. She was so rude to us for doing what? Sitting at a table they hadn't cleared yet? Why not just clear the table and apologize? What was supposed to be a pleasant afternoon was anything but and we will never go back there nor buy their wine again.

I was in the area visiting a local fair and art show and wanted to dine at a nearby restaurant. I discovered this amazing spot just a short distance away. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and burger, both of which were delicious. The live music on Friday night was fantastic. The restaurant is located on the back porch of Creekside Winery, providing a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly, making it a wonderful evening. I will definitely be returning.

The restaurant offers a wonderful menu in a beautiful location with quick and welcoming service and excellent wine selection. Lunch is available Friday to Monday, and dinner is served on Friday nights with live music. A fantastic dining spot!
