A quiet, quaint, and ambient atmosphere with great service and superior quality meals (including their signature drinks and meals)! Their lashed potatoe side dish is shaped like a pear, and it totally delightful! Will definitely come by again.

Husband and I moved in nearby and have been meaning to check this place out. We were the first couple of the evening and the restaurant was very cute and cozy. We ordered the calamari, seafood chowders and the chicken parmigiana and seafood linguine. We didn’t know about the bread basket (with the delicious cheese biscuits) so by the time we had the bread, calamari and our seafood chowders we were almost full. This is a testament to their very generous portions. The seafood chowder was the superstar of the evening. So chunky and hearty. Our mains were absolutely delicious, portions were respectable and whatever we couldn’t get through - our waiter had kindly wrapped for us in a to go box. Leftovers were just as good reheated!!! By the time we were ready to leave, the restaurant became a lot more lively with what looked like dedicated regulars. Definitely will be making this a spot for date nights.

This is a Favourite Place to dine in Hamilton, Ontario. We like to go with friends but my wife and I went out for my birthday, just us. Reservations are recommended. The meals here are consistently exceptional. Not open Mondays or Tuesdays. The wine and mixed drinks are reasonably priced. The Onion Soup and Shrimp Cocktail are excellent.

Our party of 4 all really enjoyed their meals.We each had a different entre with appetizers and everything was equally delicious. The owner and staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming.

Very nice vibe and a favourite with customers-I could tell. Our caesar salads were excellent. But, the pork tenderloin was tough and unappetizing. Rather than roasted pork, it was a flattened patty of meat. Service was good. It's not a place I'll frequent, but it was a pleasant evening out with friends.

Me and the wife tried this restaurant yesterday. We split a half a bottle of wine. I ate the gnocchi and she had the supreme chicken.Both were fantastic. Cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. The price for the entrees were reasonable.The restaurant was pretty busy considering we were there when the opened at 5, seems like a lot of regulars were there which is ways a good sign.Overall, it's good food and service for a restaurant of this type especially considering the price point. I would recommend it.

Quaint and quiet little steakhouse nestled on Barton St.The inside of the steakhouse, mostly adorned with pear imagery and a startling lack of purple, was well maintained if a bit dated.The internal atmosphere, intimately lit with candles around vintage wooden furniture gives a cozy vibe immediately that is fortified moreso by the owner and servers attention to detail.While active on the floor the owner was helpful and insightful on the menu while maintaining his charismatic and welcoming demeanor throughout the whole night.The filet was well cooked at rare and was served alongside roughages and a garlic mash. The bacon paired with the filet could have been cooked more and as such had a slight rubbery texture. The house white was good while the house red received good reception from the whole table.All in all, a great experience that helped to grant a better idea of why this competent restaurant has lasted long enough to be a Hamilton staple.
