- KAKandAToronto / Ontario •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoHuge thank you to the kitchen you recognized our order and knocked it out of the park. The extra crispy chicharron was 10/10 and the Habanero BBQ sauce was incredible last night! Huge thanks to our server Annie & Pattie for making it a fantastic experience (as always)!More infoThe Mule - HamiltonPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Hamilton•4.7
- JHJHutheNew York / Tri-State Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFood was phenomenal. Loved that the dishes were served tapas style so that you were able to sample a variety of foods at a smaller serving and without getting up to get everything from the buffet. The drinks were a standard size and were all quite good. Only critique would be that while the limit of 90 minutes is completely understandable it should be communicated to the guests prior. Whether that be on the website, posted on the menu, advised in the email with the reservation confirmation, or even at the hostess desk on arrival. We were advised an hour into our meal and then reminded of this every 10 minutes after. That being said our server was great along with the rest of the staff. And I have already recommended the restaurant to many others.More infoEarth to Table: Bread Bar JamesPrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Hamilton•4.6
- DADanaAvipToronto / Ontario •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe atmosphere is energizing and lively and the staff is outstanding. They have raised the bar for customer service. Alex was one of the best servers I've ever had. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and the entire staff went over and above. The menu is well curated with a special twist on the selections which provides surprisingly new flavors in the best possible way. Lemon zest on ricotta cheese was amazing. Thanks for providing a memorable evening.More infoBerkeley NorthPrice: Expensive• Tapas / Small Plates• Hamilton•4.7
