The Beacon Harbourside Restaurant in Mendip

New name and remodeled awesome view and great staff especially Andrew and Lisa But someone has to tell the kitchen manager or what ever he is that people eat fish and chips for dinner as well as for lunch. Why on earth would you fish and chips for lunch and not available for dinner as they do fries with the burger so why can’t they drop the fish in the oil as well. As much as I like the place it could be a game changer when picking a place for dinner.

No one came to clean room or give new towels, soaps etc while we stayed here. We were not informed that the pool was not working!!! The restaurant was under renovation. We were also charged amenity fees when none of the amenities were working. Not worth the money and would never stay here again.

A hidden gem. Love the view, love the service, love the food and prices. This is my go to place when friends ask where to meet

Went with my wife for dinner, she loved her pasta and I had the chicken was delicious. Service was good restaurant looks nice inside. The view would be great in the summertime

We had a reservation for 5 on January 15/2023 @ 6p.m. When we arrived we waited at least 10 minutes to be seated ( 2 tables in dinning room ). Our waitress brought us water and took our drink order, took a while to get because she was also the bartender. 3 of us ordered prime rib, definitely was reheated and portions were really small. The other 2 people ordered the peppercorn steak which was way over cooked. All of the vegetables on all the plates were close to raw and to hard to eat. The potatoes were also reheated! My husband and I went there a month before and had the prime rib and it was awesome and great size portion. So excited to take our family for a birthday dinner and we’re very disappointed. We didn’t bother complaining but will never go back !!

Expensive and cold! Go somewhere else - we ended up eating at Tim Horton's down the road. Extremely disappointed

My wife and I stayed at the Ramada which the Beacon Harbour Restaurant is part of. From the front you would not think much of it but once you see the back that is what makes it. The food at the restaurant is top notch the staff are very friendly and the view from the deck or dining room looking over the marina and Lake Ontario is spectaclar. Since our first stay here over a few years ago we have come back at least once a year. Just a heads up the hotel is not the ritz and does need to be updated. However the beds are comfortable and they keep it clean and tidy. If your looking for a relaxing little vacation would highly recommend that you book a couple days or so here.

Can’t begin to describe how bad our experience was. First the waitress could not find the ingredients to make a drink on the menu and actually came to the table and said that!. Then no chicken to make a meal selection. My 90 year old father ordered the prime rib which was equated to shoe leather. Hamburger was dry. Cauliflower bites were cold and soggy. Nothing was good and had to go to another restaurant to eat, because we left not eating our meals and a hungry senior who had no food that was decent to eat.

Had dinner here last night, what a disappointing experience. We first ordered the Cast Iron Black Tiger shrimp appetizer. There were five fair sized shrimp, which were so overcooked they were rubbery and very chewy. I ordered the prime rib dinner. It was advertised as "our famous prime rib with traditional mash, house made beef jus, seasonal roasted vegetables and homemade yorkshire pudding" First the meat was so well done that it was dry and tasteless, very fatty and grisly. The seasonal roasted vegetables were very oily, burnt and mostly tasteless. The yorkshire pudding was also very burn and very heavy. And to top it off they advertised house made beef jus. What was on my plate was bagged brown gravy. A total unenjoyable meal. I witnessed a family dining at the next table. The young lady ordered the prime rib as well. She was sawing away at the meat, put a piece in her mouth and immediately spit it back onto the plate. This was absolutely by far the worst prime rib I have ever been served. It really is too bad as the wait staff was courteous and friendly, the view is spectacular. Too bad the "chef" seems to be uninterested in serving quality food at the prices they charge.

Meal was over 2 hours late arriving. It wasn’t hot and did not even look appetizing when it was presented. Server wore a plastic visor rather than approved face mask. Accompanied by elderly frail family that were visibly tired by the long wait and disappointed by the poor meal at a much anticipated family gathering.

It was lovely lunch with good food, lovely service and most beautiful view of Lake Ontario. My friend is a regular there. It's been my first visit. At the end there were some troubles with processing the payment, many attempts, different cards. So just in case to avoid expensive withdraw, bring cash.

Breakfast is excellent BUT serving portions are huge so be sure to order on plate and share as it is just way too much food.

We enjoyed a late afternoon lunch on the patio overlooking the marina. A great setting following an afternoon of wine tasting in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Lobster Roll and Fish Tacos were fresh and flavourful. Will definitely return.

We were luckily able to get a seat as walk in customers. We were visiting the Jordan Area for a one night getaway for our anniversary. We had planned our bnb and some wineries to explore but forgot about making dinning arrangements. We were so happy with our experience at the Beacon. The view on the water was beautiful as well as the live acoustic music that was playing. Our food was amazing! Homemade burger for me and seafood pasta for my husband. Eric, our server, was attentive, friendly, and added to our overall amazing experience! We will be back!

Recently had dinner at the beacon and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for steak/seafood with a view.

Stopped here for lunch - the Halibut and grilled Lobster sandwich were delicious, nice presentation too. Service very friendly and a nice view on Lake Ontario.

We had our wedding at the Beacon on October 17 this year. We were a little concerned with that but we kept our guest list to 14 people. We were given a prival hall that accommodates twice that so there was ample spacing of tables. We the help of Victoria the event coordinator and Ian the manager they provided the perfect wedding for us. We had the minister for the service there afterwards they moved the seating and put the tables in place for dinner. The food was over the top, perfectly plated, fresh and warm. Expertly served. They accommodated our every want. We stayed the night there and was graciously given free breakfast for the newly weds. I would highly recommend this location along the lake with a gazebo by the water for picture taking,

We got to the Beacon at 6pm we stood in the doorway for about 5 min while 3 servers walked right past us. All of them looked right at us. Not one of them spoke. Not a hello, a just a min, nothing. Once we...

Arrived for a late lunch around 2:30pm. Waited a few minutes to be seated to a great view. Staff was very friendly and food was extremely delicious and mouth watering. Best dinner I’ve ever had. Hadn’t been at the Beacon since November. They have a...

Went for lunch today after my daughter recommended this restaurant. Lovely view of Lake Ontario and the marina provided an atmosphere for enjoyment. The food and service were excellent! Highly recommended.

We recently had dinner on the upper patio at the Beacon Harbourside Restaurant in Jordan. The dinner and the view were amazing!! We started with cocktails and I tried the peach Bellini. It was so refreshing with Prosecco and peach juice blended with local peaches...

We say a bunch amazing reviews on Facebook about the place and wanted to try it out for ourselves. So we went to the beacon on a Saturday night,the restaurant was PACKED. Our server was awesome, the food came out fast. Menu selection, food quality,...

We grew up in Beamsville and many of us would meet for wings at the Beacon, every Thursday night. The view and patio are wonderful but the food is terrible. Look at the Lake House folks. Always full. Why??? the food is fabulous. Get a...

Enjoyed a very nice lunch here with a view of the marina. The lobster roll was delicious. Great menu and service. We will be back!

My husband and I recently went to Beacon Harbourside Restaurant for a lunch date. We were seated and served by a lovely person named Mercedes. We had our choice of tables outside and oh what a view! We truly felt like we were in Florida...

Went for lunch with some friends and what a hidden gem. The view of the marina was spectacular, lots of seafood options on the menu will definitely be back!

Good views and delicious food. If you enjoy sea food I would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back for the fish tacos and lobster roll.

Dine here twice a week. The view is breathtaking. The food is out of this world. I highly recommend the seafood tower. The lobster bacon grilled cheese will have your mouth watering from your first bite to you last. The peach wine sangria is the...

was so happy to be out finally,, i have been here many times last year and was satisfied, not impressed but ok with everything enough to come back, this time the server was rude to the point of telling us to deal with the wobbly...

I bought a Groupon for a 4 course pre-fixe meal .I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a birthday dinner. My friend had the steak and I had a piece. It tasted great and was cooked perfectly. I had the stuffed-chicken. We had the...

While the view is great if you get a window table, and the staff was friendly and helpful the food was only average. I had a chicken dish and my guest had salmon and while still quite edible I was hoping for better. Prices were...

Four of us chose this location for a lunch birthday celebration - 30 minutes east of Hamilton where we live but worth the drive! We tried 3 different lunch sandwiches and two soups. The French Onion soup was quite good but the chicken noodle soup...

Nathalie greeted us with a friendly smile and as we asked what was good, she recommended prime rib. While I was skeptical as most hotel restaurants are average, the food was very good and service was outstanding

Always enjoyed having a meal here but our last visit was especially good. Menu has been down sized...but still emphasizing the prime rib. The new executive chef has been here for about three months and only improved things. Yorkshire pudding dripping with au jus....very tasty...

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We had a beautiful room with a view. Many of you may not think looking at lake Ontario is the best but we thought it was beautiful

Food was good and always being filled. The restaurant was a bit cramped. They had good variety. Had enough food for a vegetarian and vegan. Will probably go back again next Xmas.

My gawd. I was envious of the folk enjoying the platters of turkey, veg, stuffing etc served at the Church shelters, missions etc. Much better that what was offered up Christmas day at the Beacon and their buffet. Shredded turkey served with some strange stuffing...

Went for the Sunday brunch buffet around 12:30 with a family group of 7 - the so called prime rib was chewy and cold. Roast pork lion was dry. Perogees were dry. Vegetable cold. Coffee bitter. Cesar said was wet and limp. Pasta salad was...

This restaurant has gone very much downhill in the last few years. It used to be great but now it is dreadful. Slow service, food is mediocre at best, presentation is severely lacking, commercial desserts. I would never choose this restaurant and am actually starting...

Poor service, staff with bad attitude, unappetizing appearance to most of what we ordered, too pricey for quality and quantity of what we received. Considering the location and the almost full parking lot we were expecting so much more. Very disappointed and will not go...

The food is very good...eye appealing presentation. Hot and lots of it... Good selection on the menu Vegan and gluten free items The waitress was a pleasure and had a great sense of humour..great service..

I ordered the Prime Rib and it was served as ordered. But the carrot and broccoli were very raw. Too raw. The yorkshire pudding didn't have enough au jus on it and wasn't hollow inside - more like bread. I think that next time I...

We stayed in the attached hotel (Ramada by Wyndham Jordan/Beacon Harbourside Resort) so it was convenient for us to have dinner there. There were only 3 parties/tables (including us), but the service we received was VERY slow. We would have ordered some dessert but the...

We looked at the evening menu and decided to go to Don Cherry"s right next door. We had breakfast at Beacon and it was pleasant. DO NOT attempt the washrooms alone if you are mobility challenged. Ypui will never get out!

We were going to go here on our way down to port colborne but it always looks closed they don't have a website with menu unless it's just a don cherry's and any reviews are from over a year ago. So yeah are they still...

4 of us went to Beacon Harbourside Restaurant for Sunday brunch. First, they lost our reservation but there were tables available so that wasn’t a big deal. We are not buffett people so ordered off the menu. The menu looked appetizing with a good variety...

My group of 11 people were seated in Harborside restaurant (not the Don Cherry bar) between approximately 6:00 and 6:20 because of some stragglers. Service was very slow and the staff had to be reminded several times about missing drinks, appetizers, condiments and bread. Although...

Nothing was great about this experience. Service was slow. Food was only fair. In fact, my husband didn't feel well for the next 24 hours after dinner. We have been to the Beacon 3 different times. Once it was really good. Doubt if we would...

Where's the bEEf ? you found it its HERE ! .... Vegan free Zone Lol kidding . Billion Dollar View of Lake Ontario overlooking the cozy Marina, Great go to spot for a date or a casual quiet great meal 2 thumbs up. ;)

Purchased a groupon for dinner for 4, for my husbands birthday! Restaurant is huge with great views of the lake, and a small slip of boats. Patio is huge, ( it was raining so we didnt get to enjoy outside) Great deal with Groupon, 5...

my wife who does not drink.much..........had 4 of the famous ceasers which means a big WOW...........these are good. the food is just perfect.

Great food, amazing staff and Wonderful atmosphere!!! I highly recommend coming here for the lunch buffet

Do not order the Braised Ribs. At $25.00 you are lucky to get maybe 2 to 3 oz of meat off them, as well as a good workout trying to get the meat off the bones. Order one of the steaks or the prime rib...

A somewhat dated building with a wonderful view of a marina on Lake Ontario. We were there on a Friday night and it was not busy. Friendly service. We each had their special prime rib with roasted potatoe, mashed potatoe, and double vegetables. The serving...

Family outing 4 of 5 of us had buffet brunch. Nice selection, average taste, nothing hot only warm. Chef could not make scrambled eggs, but could (with excessive oil) make an omelet Found overpriced.

We took our family there to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant was not very busy. The waitress never mentioned a forced to pay gratuity on groups larger then ten people. Our group was ten adults and a 2yr old child.. I usually base my tip...

I had dinner here one and brunch another time. Good I feel like it could use something extra for the price you pay. Does not feel 100% good quality. By all mean it isn’t bad, but it isn’t great eather. Has a few different range...

My wife and I visited the Beacon with another couple on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was not very busy. We had a window seat and would have had a great view of Lake Ontario in the daytime. Some of the things I liked: Our...

Ate at Don Cherry's Beacon Harborside Restaurant because it was attached to our hotel. (Neither were anything to brag about.) A server took forever to get to our table, even though they did not appear to be busy. There was a lot of discussion going...

I've been going to the Beacon for several years. Mostly frequenting the patio in the summers or for inside drinks during the winter. This past year, I have noticed that the food has completely been changed for the better. Everything I have tried looks and...

Beautiful view and wonderful meal I had the Stuffed Chicken Supreme with roasted red peppers and cream sauce. With seasonal vegetables. Delicious!! And Gluten Free Terry Enjoyed prime rib with veggies. Along with s view of Lake Ontario Definitely recommend it if you’re in the...

I highly recommend the bahama mama cocktail but that being said you will only get one because the servers are too busy talking to each other to grab you a refill. My boyfriend and I wanted a nice dinner on our day off but instead...

Again on our way to Toronto we stopped for a late lunch. The harbor view was even better. Watched some families having a blast on all the harbor very large inflatable floats. Boats were there too. The Food was tops and service very very fast...

best view looking over lake as well as all the watersports in marina. flyboarding and waterpark as well as the most beautiful sunsets anywhere

Maybe cause it was Father's day and the lunch crowd had been too big the place was dirty, service was slow food was just ok. Only the view impressed me.

We first visited the Harborside in Feb 2018 for Sunday Brunch. The restaurant itself was very worn and in need if a refurbishment. Sunday brunch was good. It was very quiet but the food items were fresh. We decided to try out the dinner menu...

Was there Sunday, small birthday party. Waitress was excellent, good service, friendly, smiling.. We had some appetizers, Shrimp cocktail ( got served with a hair on it, can happen, shouldn't if they ware hairnets and or hats ) Had shrimp cargot nice but missed the...

We came by boat to have their supposed to be "Best Prime Ribs". We had good prime ribs here a few years ago when the price for 8 oz prime ribs was $16.95. Now the cost has increased yo $21.95 fir 8 oz and $28...

Just down the road from the more popular but far inferior Lake House restaurant. This one has better food, better service and great views.

The restaurant was overbooked and some reservations were 1 - 1 ½ hours behind, depending on the size of the party. Ours was a party of 9 and we were fortunate to have been seated 50 minutes behind our reservation time. We were seated at...

We booked a table for 7, weeks in advance yet waited an hour past our reservation time to be seated and only after watching others with later reservations being seated did we finally make a fuss. This buffet was way over booked and didn't have...

We often drive by this place and finally stopped for lunch. Wonderful choice. There is a wonderful view of the harbor and view. Even if cold the water looked inviting. The service was excellent and our meals, lobster grilled cheese and Smoked Salmon Sandwich, were...

Nice view of the lake. Good food. Decent wine selection. Unusual set up because the nice restaurant is near a sports bar. They’re separate though by a reasonable distance so it wasn’t noisy.

The view was lovely but the food was disappointing and the service slow. We ordered a bottle of wine with the intention to drink moderately and take the balance home with us however the server told us their license did not allow this. The AGCO...

Absolutely terrible brunch on a holiday for an outrageous price. We have been before when it’s not a holiday and it was good and reasonable with omelette station and good variety and good food. Went for brunch, happened to be on a holiday weekend and...

I think the view lures you in, but I have to say, great burgers and a great selection. We had a lovely lunch and our server was very pleasant. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

Visited the restaurant tonight with my hubby for date night. We both had prime rib dinners. Both were cooked to perfection! Vegetables were also cooked perfectly... Good ole El Dente :) I had a glass of wine with the dinner and my husband also had...

We have gone to this restaurant many a times... we keep giving the benefit of the doubt but this is the last time... i cant understand why a restaurant with only 1-5 tables filled can take an hour and a half to get served and...

Decided to try this restaurant with a Groupon voucher. Groupon include a 5 course meal for 2. Soup & ceaser salad each, soup was chicken & chic pea. Large portions. Appetizer was spinach & artichoke dip which was large but very salty to taste. Prime...

I needed a quick lunch so ordered a pulled pork sandwich. The pork was tough, the food was cold and it was overpriced. Need I say more

Better than expected. There were 38 of us . The morning after a family wedding . There were many other people in the place that day . Our waitress was great. Very friendly , she took the orders for teas, coffees, and drinks. The food...

I don't know about you but when I make a reservation and a request I expect it to be fulfilled! Arrived for our reservation which also included by the window dining...To be told no seats were available really pee d me off! Your lucky I...

Being locals, we thought it was time to check out the patio view of this restaurant on a beautiful summer night and we were not disappointed! Very relaxing patio with great service from Michelle. I need GF options and she was very knowledgeable. We had...

Empty restaurant yet hostess asked if we had reservations?? Sat on the WET patio chairs asked to wipe it down, got a attitude, so we left.

Our whole party of 50+ sat down at 19:00. Drinks were fairly promptly ordered and delivered. Unfortunately the food order wasn't taken until 19:50 and started to arrive not much before 20:20 with a gap of about 20 mins between our 2 tables being served!...

The restaurant is associated with the Ramada wedding/conference room directly below. The quality of the wedding meal made sure we ate off site the next day. Beautiful view of Lake Ontario , and restaurant appeared much cleaner than the hotel and wedding reception room. The...

I have been going to the Beacon for over a decade and can't believe that after all these years it still hit or miss! I keep coming back because I do love the view and years of mermories,but I'm thinking it may not worth the...

Paid CDN$18 for the breakfast buffet. The water mellon had a jelly-like consistency in the center; way too ripe, should have been discarded, not served. Eggs and meat offerings were lukewarm. A loaf of white bread was the only bread/pastry choice. No orange or other...

We picked the Beacon for Father's Day brunch this past Sunday and were terribly disappointed with the whole overpriced dining experience. We made a reservation for 9 of us for 1:00 and were all there just before our reservation. We should have gotten a hint...

Been several times - sometime s the food is great (actually amazing) and other times it is so bad that I swear I will never return. Not sure why it can change so much. Example, there on Friday June 16 and had a burger -...

Our visit to The Beacon did not prompt us to return or recommend to friends (or anybody at all). We ordered water "to start" and three prime rib sandwiches. The server asked how we wanted to prime rib cooked, 2 medium rare and 1 well...

We had dinner and breakfast in this restaurant. Both had a varied menu with good food. The view over Lake Ontario was excellent.

My mother and I stayed for a night at this hotel. It was clean and comfortable but does need some upgrading. It is right off the 401 and close to Jordan Station so the location was very convenient. We had breakfast in the morning at...

Tables are far enough apart to provide an intimate feel. I had the filet and my husband had the special AAA sirloin. Both were cooked just right, and very tasty. Service was a little slow, and we ordered water, which came in a very small...
