What can we say other than Perfection !!
Outstanding meal, cocktails , house made bread and phenomenal service!!!
Our server Kelley was attentive without being overly attentive! She was so pleasant, accommodating and attentive to all our needs!
The meal was excellent with starting with a perfectly balanced butternut soup served on this unusual shaped white dinnerware . We shared an appetizer of... more

Was really looking forward to dining here after not being at the Inn on the Twenty for a few years. Unfortunately what a disappointment. We were a group of 4, started with an appetizer of foie gras for all to share with crispy bread and local pinot noir. From here our experience went down hill. We then waited for over an hour to have the main course brought. When we inquired when our meals... more

The patio here is lovely with good views of the village. The service was also great - we had a good humoured waitress who made our visit a pleasure.

The food was just so-so though. The flavours in my heirloom tomato salad were unfocused because it was packed with too many different vegetables - I also wasn't a fan of the large chunks of red onion in it. The Vintner's platter was good, but too... more

Fresh food, BUT turkey pot pie misnamed: really a think soup with few ingredients, unsuitable for a main course. Mussels were tiny. Server also forgot to bring a desert until reminded.

Really cool dining experience. Took our son out with his mom and his girlfriend. Pretty fancy double date. Really great night out. The food was fantastic. The service was great. Not one if those fancy restaurants you need to top off at a drive through due to tiny portions. Great experience. Have gone back several times and the place does not disappoint.

We were part of a group of 20 who visited for lunch, so this review related only to the meal.

Ours was a table of 8, and individually we all chose the same from the luncheon menu - the soup de jour (cream of corn and apple garnished with goat cheese), the Ontario trout main course and the dessert of the day (field berry steamed pudding).

The freshness of the ingredients, taste, plating... more

The quality and service is among the best I have experienced My wife and I enjoyed the dinner immensely. The Jordan house is a great spot for a nights rest as well..

Fantastic experience -- we brought our children -- first time for our son in law from Calgary -- so we wanted it to be special and it was!! Thanks so much. Highly recommend it!

Enjoyable evening

It was our first time there. We would definitely return. Food was great. Brian was very professional, and his service certainly helped to make the evening enjoyable.

Well paired food and wines

Our attentive, knowledgeable server gave great advice on pairing Cave Spring wines with our various dishes. Luscious pork. Just-right serving sizes for a three-course lunch.

Great ambience!

We had a special occasion dinner at Inn on the Twenty. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. The smoked duck breast melted in your mouth and the vegetables were tender crisp not soggy. Would highly recommend.

Good as usual

Inn on the Twenty is one of the choices (the other is Vineland) for me to stop for a bite while on the wine route.
The food is always good and the wines from Cave Spring are always reliable and fairly priced.
My daughter had a lamb loin which was done medium, it was juicy and favourful, the lamb sausage on the side tasted great too. My lunch set comes with a cream of asparagus soup which was... more

Special place for a special meal

Once again a delicious meal and friendly and attentive service. The asparagus soup was fantastic. The house Riesling matched the pork loin perfectly. Only one (of four) of us left a speck on the plate and that was to be taken home for the next day's lunch. And there was a candle with dessert (not ordered in advance) for the Birthday girl!

Disappointed

We have eaten here many times over the years with delight. This time we were bringing guests there and had raved about dinner. Sadly, our advanced raves didn't meet the reality.
The chef seemed to have lost his salt shaker in preparation of most dishes. The soup was so bland each of us had to season it. The ribeyes were cooked correctly but the meat was tough (but cut) and severely... more

Delicious food and attentive service in a beautiful setting. I had not been to the Inn in quite a few years and it was good to see it is as good now as it was then.

We were incredibly fortunate to have found Inn on the Twenty during our search for wedding reception venues. From the moment we turned onto downtown Jordan, we knew we had found the small-town feel that we were looking for. Our tour of their reception and hotel spaces didn't disappoint either.

Their entire grounds are stunning, and while a long winter meant that we just missed having... more

Great ambiance lovely view and terrific service although on the pricey list. A lovely restaurant for a special occasion for lunch or dinner for a couple or group. We have been several times when in Jordan and always highly recommend the venue. Always consistent!

Nice place to get good food

My wife and I go there at least once every two months. We drive from Oakville to Jordan as we enjoy the area (not the traffic on QEW). Food is excellent and great value.

Lunch Special

The food was expertly prepared. I particularly enjoyed the lamb loin. The server definitely knew her wines. The restaurant is part of the Cave Spring Winery so no surprise there. In summary, elegant food in a casual atmosphere.

Everything about our experience was magic! Our server, Paul, was outstanding, the food was incredible and the wine complemented every last bite we had. I would highly recommend The Inn on the Twenty for any occasion and if you are looking for a wedding venue, you needn't look any further.

This place came highly recommended...and they have plenty of "Four-Star Diamonds" plaques from AAA showcasing their accomplishments.

We wandered in and waited to be seated (but kind of had to go find the manager in his office, to be seated).

Special of the Day: Turkey breast with a caramelized glaze, gnocchi, asparagus, cinnamon apples, and Swiss chard? The gnocchi was good, but a little... more

Still strong

It's been a couple of years since we've visited the Inn on the Twenty. On previous visits we'd been blown away by the quality of the food. Today's offerings were very good, although admittedly not up to our memory. (there were no surprises) Loved the beef carpaccio appetizer; nicely balanced flavours. Wine pairings with each course were excellent. Really enjoyed the mini-cheesecake (with salted... more

Inn on the twenty-great experience

Dinner at inn on the twenty was great. Excellent food and wine list. Wine list was very affordable when compared with many Toronto restaurants. The atmosphere was elegant but relaxed as well. Will definitely be returning.

Always a great dinner

We often chose Inn on the Twenty for special occasions, since we can count on a wonderful, creative menu, beautiful setting, and a peaceful, low-key clientele. This time was no exception. The food was outstanding, the service was terrific, and the evening as a whole was perfect. Thanks -- once again -- to Inn on the Twenty for a great dinner.

Absolutely perfect!

We drove in from Mississauga to bring a friend to this restaurant. Loved the service, the food... We brought out kids and instead of being unwelcome, they were totally accommodating. We had the lamb, salmon, and duck. The food was impeccable, fresh, so flavourful. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely all around

Although the menu for lunch seemed a little uninspired, we were so wrong when the food came. Beautifully presented and brilliantly prepared we all will definitely be returning. The aimbence and setting were great and the serving staff experienced, cheerful, humerous and attentive all making this a great birthday celebration.

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch on the patio at Inn on the Twenty. We did not feel rushed as we sat outside enjoyed the wine, and the scenery! We took friends from North Vancouver who enjoyed our Ontario hospitality.

Anniversary Dinner

Located at Cave Spring Winery with a peaceful ambience. Quality of food excellent quality of service by waiters probably the best we have encountered in Southern Ontario.
A definite 10 on anyones scale.

Sunday lunch

I took my husband to Inn On The Twenty for Father's Day Lunch. The food was fresh and well presented. The Cave Spring Pinot Gris was excellent. Our server was courteous, efficient and very accommodating. We will go back.

Must Visit

Inn on the Twenty was recommended by a friend and it hit all the checks - great ambiance, beautiful scenic views, excellent (but not intrusive) service, respectable wine list and deeply satisfying food. I highly recommended Inn on the Twenty on your next trip out to Jordan.

Have been there a number of times and always come away very very pleased. I'm glad there are changes to the menu, each time I've tried something different and enjoyed every dish.
Presentation, and attention to detail perfect.

As wonderful as always! Just the perfect place to have a birthday lunch.

Disappointing

This was the fourth time for us at the Inn on the Twenty, but a very disappointing experience compared to the first three. The restaurant had changed a lot - and a lot to the worse. It had lost its charm, the tables were bare and when we entered someone was mopping right in the middle of the dining hall. The service was slow - we had to wait more than one hour for the food, even though the... more

great dinner

Everything was great from start to finish, would recommend it highly.

A Special Evening

We enjoyed a lovely stay at the Inn on the Twenty this weekend for our anniversary and were tempted to head into Niagara On The Lake for dinner but were told about how great their restaurant was and we were not disappointed. Located just across the street from the Inn, the location, ambience, and service were only outdone by the food. Beautifully presented, with many locally grown ingredients,... more

Lovely

A perfect spot in a lovely town. Food is superb. Tables quite close together so annoying when you get seated next to noisy neighbours who insist on conversing at full volume.

We missed seeing Paul, Bryan or Patty as we have always had one of them for our special occasion visits. Exemplary service was their forte. This time we had a male seat us and take our orders and a female served the food. Unfortunately neither one of them introduced themselves so I can't give you their names. We missed having linens on the tables as in previous years. It just sets a higher bar... more

A lovely find..

On our way to Toronto, we stopped at Jordan Village to have lunch at Inn on the Twenty. What a lovely lunch we had sitting outside looking over Main Street. It is very quaint and a hidden treasure for those that like to go a little off the beaten path to explore. I would definitely recommend Inn on the Twenty to whoever is in the area of Jordan Village.

On the Twenty

Emphasis is on locally produced food, beautifully cooked, very well presented. Service mature and attentive. Features their own (Cave Spring) wines. We have been there several times in recent years and never been disappointed.

Romance for our 5th anniversary!

My husband and I had our first official date at Inn on the Twenty on the May long weekend give years ago. To celebrate being together 5 years we dined there this past May long weekend. Still as fabulous and decadent as we remembered! The beet salad was a work of art, and tasted as good as it looked. Also enjoyed the espresso martini. Everything was perfect, food, wine, ambience and staff!

Great service, gem in a small town

Great location for brunch. Food was great. Staff was friendly and service was exceptional!

great restaurant

Everything was prepared and served with care. Best service we have had in a while. The prime rib was cooked to perfection. The made in house deserts were also amazing.

A great Mother's Day Venue

after an afternoon at the Shaw and a hilarious show - we went back to Cave Springs Store, The Gallery and noised around until dinner. The food was lovely, beautifully presented and they were happy to make 2 presentations when we shared appies. We had fish, pork and steak and all loved our meals. It was lovely and a great evening.

Good

The food was good but not amazing to the point that it was justified to the pricing. The dinner menu was very very limited but the items we choose for dinner were good. The menu items do not need to be 5pages long but they should have diversity. The steak was fantastic, the duck was good but not amazing the flavor was that of bacon which would be fine if I had of paid the price for bacon rather... more

Wonderful view

Great dinner at Inn on the Twenty. I had the char, which was generous portion, with a beet galette, the flavors all melded together wonderfully. My husband had the duck and said it was one the best hes ever had, and the spatzle was fantastic. Dessert was a must!

Definitely not a good atmosphere

We are very experienced world travellers and have eaten in some of the best 5 star restraunts. My Wife and I arrived on a Saturday Night with a business associate. I had requested a window table, but told non available, although after beeing seated we saw 2 tables that could have been pushed together to make 4 places. Next to our table were two large parties who spent the evening in raucus... more

Second time around

Was recently back at Inn on the Twenty and my second time around was not as stellar as the first. Mostly on the service front. The kitchen seemed to be pretty backed up as it took 15 minutes from the time our server told us the food was being plated for the food to actually show up at the table. Had to send a mojito back because it wasn't up to snuff. However, restaurant GM was very receptive... more

Restaurant was lovely. My salmon was fabulous; cooked to perfection; excellent accompaniments. My partner had the burger....while plentiful, it was only so-so in his estimation. Excellent service.

We Will be back

We have been to On The Twenty six times - and each time it has been great. Our Easter Sunday dinner was another great dining experience. It has been more than 5 years since our last visit and On The Twenty is still a sure bet for the complete dining experience. If you are in wine country, definitely put On The Twenty on your must try list.

An outstanding experience

Lovely, elegant room with food to match. Fresh, seasonal dishes prepared with flair and imagination.
Wonderful service and great view and ambience.

Great little spot!

It was a first for my husband and I and we had friends from Montreal with us. Everyone enjoyed their food. The restaurant is very nice and we had a great view of a wooded area in the back. The service was really good and we enjoyed everything about our lunch. Definitely a place to try if you haven't already.

Always a Pleasure!

We keep returning time and time again, for the wonderful cuisine, service, ambiance and food! Our whole family agrees that it is the best place to share a lovely meal, whether we are two or ten. Love the place, and how genuinely friendly the whole staff are.

We had had a beautiful lunch here the year before and were so impressed, we decided to book dinner and a room after a trip to the Shaw Festival. The room was absolutely beautiful with high ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a sumptuous bed. The bathroom had a gigantic spa tub that we were really looking forward to after our meal in the restaurant.

Dinner in the restaurant was absolutely terrible.... more

I must say, I love when I have the chance to write such overwhelmingly positive reviews, and this is one of those times.

My family and I just finished the most stunning dinner we have had in some time. The decor is clean and beautiful and there is a gorgeous view out the back of the restaurant of the escarpment. The food is 5-star, but not for 5-star prices. Obviously, they have a great... more

Stunning dining room surrounded by a spectacular scenery. Waiters were experienced and very genuine. I highly recommend the bass plate. The fish was perfectly moist. My compliments to the chef!

Stayed here for a day prior to heading to Niagara. The restaurant was very good. I had the lamb and it was succulent but I did not care for the grain it was served on. The hotel was awesome and worth the price. The front staff was friendly but she was a little bit too much into our business. Would definitely go back.

This place is seriously impressive, Great food, Good price, Impressive wine, and an Incredible view.
if you feel like buying some wine, checking out some breathtaking art, eat some very good food, and indulge in one of the finest views to be found anywhere in Ontario, this may be the place for you.

One word of advise be this to the Reader or to the Chef, this is the only thing even remotely... more

We stayed in a loft suite for one night after a day of wine tasting in the area, followed by a 3- course dinner and breakfast the next morning. We also had spa treatments before checking out.

The inn seemed understaffed as there was only one person working the front desk/reception. She was checking in guests and then escorting them to their rooms after, as other guests were waiting to check in... more

We just came back from our wedding annverisary get away at the Inn On the Twenty.

We stay there for one night last week, extremely quiet town. The scenary must be beautiful in the summer time.

We had dessert that night, since we got there a big late. It was my first time having brie cheesecake, it was excellent. And my husband had Meyer Lemon Curd - first time having Riesling jelly, fabalous!... more

Took friends there for a 45th birthday. I had been there a few ago. I was very disappointed.
The staff, although very nice was very slow. I like to eat at a relaxed pace, but this was ridiculous.
Some portions were very small. The birthday boy's food was so salty(and he likes salt), that he couldn't even eat it. By the time someone came back to our table to check on us, the rest of us had... more

We've visited here several times, always for a special occasion, but our most recent visit was just for fun. We didn't have a reservation this time, but I would think that it would be recommended during the busy season or on a weekend.

The space looks onto a beautiful ravine. There are three rooms in the restaurant, each done in light tones. They offer lunch and dinner seatings. There are... more

As I had expected...

I took my GF to 'the Inn' because we were in the area, She's always LOVED their product, and had never been to visit., NOT a disappointment. We arrived on a weekday without a lunch reservation and were greeted warmly....BEAUTIFUL place...lots of windows and lots of light overlooking a heavily treed valley...nice. Our waiter was 'Steve'. A pro....there when you needed him...and not present when... more

We've eaten here half a dozen times and we've never been disappointed. The food has always been outstanding, and the service is first rate. The restaurant features local wines, with good suggestions for pairing, and much of the menu is locally sourced. It has become our go-to restaurant for special occasions. As an added benefit, Jordan Village is a quaint street with several nice shops that... more

Very Nice

We stayed at the Inn and only had breakfast in the restaurant (mistakenly chose the Jordan House Tavern for dinner and regretted it, see other review).

Iliana's Palette

As we entered, to the left was the Cave Spring wine tasting area, with a heavy-duty white fence, and to the left was... more

I was here as a wedding reception guest. The venue for a wedding reception was amazing. The hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour were super yummy and great little tid bits of flavour, but the only problem was the room was a little small/crowded and we were far from the service door so we missed out on some because by the time they got to us the plates were empty.

The salad as part of the meal... more

Exquisite

Last night, on a whim, decided to dine at The Inn on the Twenty, we arrived without reservations and were welcomed without delay. But it was a Tuesday, would definitely make reservation in the future. This restaurant is beautiful, warm and welcoming with a fantastic ambiance. Last night there was a nice background of new age jazz that set the mood. A very quiet, relaxing getaway from the normal... more

Ratatouille for Italians

Last night I returned to Inn on the Twenty for the first time in a while. My taste for fine dining has diminished over the years, and not for the great food but for the generally pretentious service and atmosphere that come with it. Last night's dinner with regard to atmosphere was no different. Upon entering the restaurant you immediately notice the age of the clientele, my wife was by far the... more

This is for the restaurant not the Inn.
Beautifully decorated and an incredible setting for a romantic dinner. My wife and I stopped in Jordan at the Cave Springs winery for a tasting and the restaurant is attached. It was recommended by a good friend who lives in the area.
We went on a Friday night without reservations and got in right away. We were seated at a window seat overlooking the... more

This restaurant prepared the best meal that I've eaten in Canada.

We went on a holiday Sunday and we received the staff and chef's full attention.

I'm not sure if the quality holds up on a very busy night, but I can assure you that they are fully capable of delivering a culinary masterpiece.

Moreover, the Cave Springs late harvest riesling is pretty spectacular. Now I have a case sitting at... more

After reading rave reviews on this place, we decided to get a well deserved massage at their spa. I know my rating will only be based on the spa experience but it's worth it.

I had emailed to make a couples massage appointment a couple of months ago. After various attempts I decided to speak to the receptionist. She was very friendly and bubbly and the moment I finally met her in person, she... more

This review is for the restaurant, not the Inn. My meal would have gotten 2.5 stars. This is a bit of a heads up for vegetarians.

I was part of a group of 12, with 3 special birthdays ending in 0 -- 30, 50 and 60. Most of our group was very happy with this place, and I'm sure the majority would have given 5-stars, but here's my problem as a veggie. Of the 8 or so entrees, one was vegetarian... more

***2.5 stars***

Stopped here for lunch in between staggering from winery to winery.

Nicely decorated. Patio is lovely on a sunny day. As one would guess, a good wine list to choose from. Ordered the flat iron steak sandwich and it was cooked to near perfection, but the side of German potato salad was watery and nonexistent in taste and seasoning.

The chicks I was with ordered the Turkey Club... more

I'm definite that I cannot do the meal justice so here goes our orders:

This food was solid and the service exceptional. It was a tad overpriced, but that should be expected considering the chic chic location.
For those of us from the states, the quaint town is reminiscent of those conservative New England towns harbor towns--friendly, clean, "pastel-ly"---but still a bit stuffy.

The short ribs were a bit dry and not sufficiently marbled.
The pierogis were freshly... more

I was here for lunch recently and left disappointed. Perhaps they were working with a skeleton crew as it was just after Xmas at the time. However, there were hints that it would be less than stellar on any given day. Most notably, leek and celeraic soup was simply not good, and the addition of hunks of a dryish boar sausage really didn't help. The two flavours just didn't work together at all,... more

OK, so I now write my second review on this Yelp site and it goes out to On The Twenty restaurant in Jordan Village. If you never been here, I am a local its like Niagara on the lake before they got b@!%hy and stuck up.

Lots of wineries, clothing, food, antiques and did I mention wine?

The restaurant is owned by Cave Springs winery owner and local entrepreneur Len Penichetti. I eat out a lot... more

On the Twenty would rank high among the restaurants that populate Napa and Sonoma. It is set in a vineyard, and if you get a table by the window, you will have the pleasure of gazing at said vineyard while you dine on the exquisite repast.
They use local, organic and fresh ingredients in their creative cuisine. Plus the requisite wines that the vineyard and other local wineries produce. There... more
