On the Lam

I wish we could give more stars than 5! Grant and the team at OTL have been a beacon of light in the culinary community. My gf Jess and I have been enjoying there food and atmosphere for a 2 years now. This spot has a place in our hearts and has provided us with memories thst will last forever. -Jess and Josh

I visited On The Lam once, and have day-dreamed about the spot ever since. The quality of the service, the finessing of flavour, the intimate vibe... My fiancé and I ordered 5 menu items and 4 drinks total, and paid around $100. The cost was astounding considering how heart-stoppingly yummy the plates were. We will be back once this dang pandemic allows!

We were taken out to dinner here by our children as a birthday celebration. We had a great time - good company, great food, good wine, and absolutely no pressure to eat up and get out! I had Korean Fried Chicken as an appetizer, hot and spicy good, followed by Pan Seared Salmon. Very good, well worth the drive from Hamilton. Love the food, like the local and seasonal features, you cannot get a better steak! The cocktails are unique and delicious and the atmosphere. Never less then 5 star

Tried On the Lam last night after multiple people told me it was the best restaurant in Brantford. It was SO GOOD! Every bite we looked at each other and nodded our heads in awe of the yumminess. Will be going back 100percent and cannot wait to eat inside. Looked so cute and hip inside.

Best steak I’ve ever had the Japanese wagyu was amazing, also the boneless buffalo wings are fantastic. Grant makes the best cocktails!Overall 10/10 restaurant.

Legitimately the best restaurant in Brantford! If you're ever in town you need to dine at this hidden gem. The whole experience from the start to finish was amazing! The food was so delicious I'm already thinking of what I'll order next time. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I can't say enough good things! 100 stars!!

Wonderful dining experience. If you are in Brantford you need to come by and try the food.

Heard great things about this place and wanted to check them out before the original owners moved on to other ventures.The atmosphere felt lively and cozy. Cute little restaurant inside with limited seating. The music was blasting, sort of hard to hear your companions talk over it. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming.The menu changes often. I can see why the puff potatoes are a hit with most people, crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside.Was highly disappointed at the size of the main course. It just came with the main protein and that's it, no complimentary sides or greens/seasonal vegetables . Every side is an additional cost. The main protein (while listed in the menu), felt like it was so small and easily dwarfed by the oversized plate. While the dish was full of flavour, it does not justify the high price tag of this dish. I understand this is a gourmet restaurant but I was sort of let down compared to other gourmet restaurants with similar cuisine styles and price points.

Great food, great service, great ambiance. We enjoyed everything: oysters, wine, steak, side dishes and dessert. Judging by the number of plates of puffed potatoes that were being served at other tables, we have to come back and give them a try also. Otherwise, I'd order the exact same meal again and again, it was perfect.

Tiny but mighty! I will keep recommending On The Lam to anyone looking for a very special little place with excellent food. Perfect spot for a romantic dinner or just cocktails. Yes it leans toward the higher end cost wise but it sooooo worth it! Feels like a secret little find. Food and drink and service are all superb!
