    Still the best! I've been visiting The Office since opening day two decades ago. We had dinner for two and brought with us a pre pandemic gift certificate from the previous ownership. They graciously honored the gift dinner for two. We had popcorn Lobster, 10oz. AAA steak with potatoes and vegetables, jerk chicken rice, n veggies, and chocolate truffle cheesecake. Cooked to perfection and seasoned just right.

    Popped in with my boyfriend for some 1/2 price wings and they were excellent - I tried the salt & pepper, sriracha agave and hot honey. Deeee-licious! Lots of blue cheese and veggies which I loved (since I have been other places where they don’t provide it with the wings or charge extra.) Great Sunday deal on the price of the wings and drinks. But the best part of our evening was our server Michael. He made our experience phenomenal - checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. And he even whipped up some fantastic cocktails for us. I wasn’t sure what I felt like drinking but shared with him what some of my fav margaritas normally are and he made a delicious, creative, spontaneous cocktail for me based off my taste/flavour preferences. It turned out to be a delicious spicy strawberry tequila drink! Amaaazing. The energy of the place and staff was so positive! Will 100% be back for more! :) Thank you Michael for such a great experience at The Office Tap & Grill.

    Absolutely loved my visit to this restaurant! We were immediately met with the sweetest server, Allen, who got everything started for us right away. The menu looked great and we really enjoyed our food here. I would absolutely recommend eating here and I will totally be coming back:)

    Ive tried poutine almost everywhere in the world while travelling, Ive crosse Canada 7 times from Pacific to Atlantic back and forth and the "Duck poutine" at this place find its place in my top 5 poutine, it could be my #1 if its was fresh goat cheese curds not so melted (as to keep that squeak 😉 ) and the fries just a tad bit more crispy the duck tho! Wow usually duck is kinda dry this was juicy and tasted so good and the portion is perfect.. wil’ be coming back FOR SURE!

    Came in as a recommendation from a good friend, honestly one of the best places downtown St Catharines, I ordered the lobster Mac n Cheese and the portion is massive, you definitely get your money’s worth. The cauliflower wings are the best in city hands down. Our server Maddie was amazing! 10/10 food and service, and we will definitely be back!!

    Every time we visit, we are greeted to The Office in such inviting and fun atmosphere! The food is incredible and fun (make sure you add a protein onto your app!), and the service is perfect. Happy to support regularly!

    Stop what you are doing and head to the Office Tap & Grill. OMG, it was amazing not only is it next door to the Watering Can - best flower store anywhere! The Office food is delicious. The cauliflower wings - incredible. The burger was the best I have had, it was made with brisket. Mmm mm. I had an old fashioned for a cocktail - and had them use Woodford Bourbon. Wow! Seriously can't wait to go back and try anything else on the menu.

    Sangria on tap was wonderful, server was great! Bruschetta had way too much balsamic glaze. Prices fair, not amazing.

  • 5/5 Scott C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely great place. We stopped for dinner here on Sunday night and had excellent food and super service. My butternut ravioli was perfect, nice balance of sweetness from the squash and savoury from the sage and oil sauce. I shared a kale Caesar salad with my wife, which was very good. Nice selection of beers and wine. Our server was more than helpful and incredibly welcoming. We will definitely be back.

    My husband Ernie and I went for an early dinner last week. I had a gluten free burger with fries. Hubby loved the bean burger and salad. Our server Allan was a super guy. He was efficient, fun, and really nice. He made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble to him. Chris was awesome too. He was happily singing while making our drinks and was smiling and fun. The cook did a great job on the food and being able to eat a gluten free meal meant the world. Thanks to The Office staff that made our celebratory dinner a good thing. We sold our house and bought a condo.

    Kudos to The Office for providing a welcoming place to dine last weekend. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt welcomed by the staff. The atmosphere is comfortable, with in-house playlists that set a cool vibe. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the shared nacho appetizer (more than enough for two people). Next came the entrees served by an attentive and pleasant server. The food was delicious - both the generous Chicken Caesar salad made with kale and the home made burger with sweet potatoes. We’ll be back!

    The staff is so exceptionally wonderful here. In particular, Michael is so kind and makes great drinks, highly recommend asking him to make up a new cocktail. The food is also delicious. Cannot say enough good things about this bar.

  • 5/5 maggie m. 1 year ago on Google
    Yum! Best Guinness I’ve had since our vacation to Ireland, and the pear and blue cheese salad was delicious! Pear that (see what I did there?) with a comfortable atmosphere and great service … well, we need to come here more often.

  • 4/5 Kurt G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, good food. I would like to see more vegan options on the menu. They did make menu items vegan for us amd they were good. The cauliflower wings were delicious. I'd go back if the menu displayed vegan items.

  • 5/5 Olivia P. 10 months ago on Google
    The place was very cozy and the staff were amazing, they stayed open later for us and were so accommodating. Michael was our waiter and was genuinely one of the nicest people in the service industry we have come across in a while. Not only the service and atmosphere were great but the food as well! Their wings, especially their siracha agave, Caribbean jerk and classic buffalo were fantastic, so were their parm fries and their light lager beer.

  • 3/5 Nicole L. 1 year ago on Google
    They have changed the restaurant quite a bit from pre-covid. The menu is different and they don't have the same feature meal items. It seems to be even more casual now (condiments at all tables for burgers). We tried a mix of items. No one in my party loved anything they had. We did love the service though- the staff is friendly and helpful. A pleasant experience, but the food was just okay.

  • 5/5 Luz D. 1 year ago on Google
    Came in from NY to have a nice dinner but also a good night out. The service was phenomenal, totally enjoyed it. Will say I didn't like the fish n chips but that's just because of the type of fish used, however my partner adored it and I ate his burger so it worked out. The cocktail drinks...-chefs kiss- Perfect. The only thing that I didn't deduct points but I understand it's just being human was when the servers were outside smoking and then came indoors, they brought in the scent of the smoke with them. Aside of that, totally visiting again!

  • 5/5 Trinity B. 7 months ago on Google
    Came here twice in the last week, and both times had an absolutely amazing experience! Had Michael and Maddy as our servers, and both were perfectly attentive and engaged. They both offered to make us custom cocktails, and we had great conversations as well. The food is delicious and reasonably priced too! Fantastic atmosphere, and truly exceptional staff. There was a wonderful server with a beard as well, but we didn’t get his name. We’ll be back soon, and have been telling everyone who will listen how great experience we had.

  • 5/5 Derik N. 5 months ago on Google
    Really great spot. Kinda hip for all ages. Good food. Our Waiter was great tonight. I wish I could remember his name. But everyone was friendly. Would recommend. Also, will be back.

  • 5/5 Wayne Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Great spot to grab a drink, a bite or a whole meal. The Office has a great selection of wine, beers and cocktails to choose from. They have a nice compact menu that is curaated by Chef Warren. All of their dishes are fantastic and are expertly crafted. The Office is a great place to sit at the bar and talk to new people, share a moment with a special someone or for a large party of people.

  • 5/5 Matthew J. 4 months ago on Google
    Michael was so friendly, honestly the best! The food was amazing, option for vegetarian and gluten free, so accommodating. Try the halloumi fries and corn cob ribs!!

  • 5/5 Dana B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is such a gem in Niagara. It’s got a great intimate vibe inside and the staff are absolutely amazing. Every server I’ve ever had has been so friendly, attentive and added bonus: hilarious, which makes the experience even better. The food is SO GOOD! I think I’ve made my way through half the menu items and I’ve been blown away with everything. The flavours are delicious, and the prices are very fair (especially in pandemic times). I love the drink menu and all the options, and the daily specials. The Office is one of my favourite places in Niagara. Always leave full and happy! Shout out to all the amazing staff to go above and beyond!

  • 5/5 Christine Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Blown away by the service! We had a bachelorette dinner here and they went above and beyond to make it special. Decorations on the table. Bubbly wine. Chocolate covered strawberries. The food was all amazing! Thank you so much to the new owners and the staff there. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Jake S. 2 years ago on Google
    the service here was incredible and they were extremely accomodating of my food intolerences. if you are gluten free or dairy free the staff is more than happy to adjust the meal so you can enjoy it! absolutely recommend coming here.

  • 5/5 Jim T. 2 years ago on Google
    Extensive Menu items and all were very pleasing to the whole group of eight of us...

  • 5/5 Papayam 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and even better customer service! We were recommended the PB burger and I've ordered it almost every time i've gone back. They always bring my dog a bowl of water and a treat without hesitation and the staff are just so friendly. The Office is definitely my new favourite restaurant in St. Cath and I recommend it to all my friends!

  • 5/5 Tad H. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't think I have ever had a friendlier and more accommodating staff. The food was delicious. Great selection of beer. All 5 stars deserved.

  • 5/5 Alex H. 2 years ago on Google

    Hats off to this incredible place! The food was amazing and service was top notch.. they opened early specifically to accommodate our private group. We can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Caleb B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, nice place for a drink, excellent service. Especially great if you're downtown during the week and want to go for drinks after a show or something

  • 5/5 Chris Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic experience, food was delicious, the in-house stout was tasty and the server we had was delightful. Will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Jennie S. 6 years ago on Google
    Super great getaway from the basic places everyone crowds around downtown on weekends. Was one of the few non packed places on St Patty's Day (great thing !) Waiter was really funny and personable and the food and drinks were great. Portion sizes were really good. Will come back here again when sober.

  • 4/5 Beth J. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool atmosphere! Free corkage bring your own wine some night! Pan seared fish was really good with dill tartar and fries. Burger was good too.

  • 5/5 shawnna l. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing! The whole experience was beyond expectations. Maddie was so friendly and her recommendations were top notch, and she makes a mean mojito! Food came out quick and delicious! We will definitely be back.

  • 4/5 Seva I. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate our dinners on the patio, which was OK for downtown. The service was excellent and the quality of the food served was excellent. Our party ordered pulled pork on a bun which was tender and tasty, the classic burger (which had no fillers in the patty) and wings, which were delicious but really tiny for wings. We also had the whiskey maple sweet potatoes which were awesome. Given the quality of the food, this restaurant provides excellent value. Definitely recommend. I'll be going back next time I'm in town.

  • 5/5 Kelsey A. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been a few times now and have always had a great experience! Food and service is always awesome. The staff makes great menu recommendations, food is always tasty, overall great atmosphere. Will be back soon!
