Amazing experience. All of the food was perfect and service was exceptional. Great vibes for date night and other events. Loved the option of trying small portions for a fair price of something I might not typically order (caviar). Will definitely return!

About the restaurant

Why The North Coal? The concept was created by the feeling of being away from city life with family and friends. For us, that’s Northern Ontario, but as lucky as we are to experience that way of life, not everyone is. Our mission is to provide that feeling regardless of your surroundings.

Located in the heart of Downtown Burlington, The North Coal is the perfect place for Summer Drinks, Family Dinners or just a place to kick back with your friends after a long week!

This is the fourth time I have dined at Beacon Social House. What I appreciated the most this time around was that the manager/owner had approached our table to check in and see how we were enjoying ourselves. I felt very valued as a customer. We also received a special discount at the end of the night when we received our bill which was a very sweet gesture. I will continue to refer friends and family to Beacon Social House due to there exceptional customer service.

Food was very eye appealing and flavorful. Lots of options for drinks and we enjoyed what we got. Oysters, Watermelon sashimi! Definitely order again. Smoked salmon and the lobter rolls, both decent portions, not huge, but more than enough to fill us up. Service was a little slow, but the server got our orders right and when there, was very helpful with any questions we had. We would go again.

Met 5 ladies for a Birthday lunch, brought in my own cake and from the moment we walked through the door, the service was excellent! Our server Taylor was friendly, personable and went above and beyond. All of the meals were well presented and DELICIOUS! Everyone marvelled at the menu choices and the adaptability for various requests. Asking about food allergies is on point. Highly recommend and all the ladies I invited sassy red they’d be back as well. I even ordered an extra menu item to bring home for my husband, it’s that good!

This place was a perfect spot for a girls night. You’re able to still hear each other but it’s definitely loud which also makes for a great date spot. The server was absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and I highly recommend the Appetizers. Will be back for sure!
