“We can't wait to return for a full dinner. We came for an end of night appetizer and cocktails. It was by far the best butter chicken we have ever had, the cheese on sourdough was so light and refreshing. Our cocktails on paper sounded daunting, interesting flavours to pair together but amazing flavour and easy to drink! The oolong ember is highly recommended. Overall good value for high quality food in a relaxed setting.“

“Saturday night was my first visit to HD and I have to say I was impressed. As a person who has known Dave for many years he has hit a home run here. The clientele, vibe and the service were exceptional. I don't drink anymore and the staff quickly pivoted to non alcohol options and even had booze-less Tequila. Will be back very soon“

The oysters were so good we ordered an additional dozen along with the caprese salad and it was phenomenal! All of the staff was amazing.

“Always a great time here. Between the friendly bar staff, the fun but on point security and door staff, and the amazing array of karaoke, drag shows, court events, and dancing nights, I can always find something to do at The Well Hamilton“

“I really really like the food. It’s like the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had and the burger was amazing too. I just hope that the server could stop asking “how’s it going” every 15 mins. I clearly has a face of I want to be alone but I still got couple servers that came to me. The restaurant was at a quiet time and it’s not near closing. So I wonder…I was just trying to enjoying my time😭“

“The waiter seemed completely forced, unfriendly and uninterested. He made a poor drink for the first time around. I asked him to swap it out, after that he just had a terrible attitude. Instead, he could've just said no / Or gotten the manager, and I would've gladly explained. Likely he thought that I was not going to tip anything. Little did he know that I base everything off of attitude. when we first arrive, the hostess acknowledged that it was my daughter's graduation. After that, not a word was that not a dessert was offered nothing. Even though it was acknowledged on the reservation. The spinach dip was below subpar. Nothing like the menu (common for this location) This was my second time in a year and it's just been so disappointing. I frequent the Ancaster and even the Queenston location which has much better service, as well as food presentation/quality. We sat in the bar lounge area... Doesn't matter where we sit though you still expect to get great service. I keep giving this location a chance to continue to be disappointed. This is your lesson and to get better at Service. First things first introduce yourself to the table and say welcome, then acknowledge the celebration on the table. Again, Ancaster and Queenston location are much much better for service, food quality and overall experience! He still received $16 out of my hardened pockets in the gratuity even though I do not recommend. I love to dine out and I've been in the industry for 22 years so you just never know who's sitting at your table. Please try and do better guys people don't have money to waste and it will deter people from wanting to spend money at your location.“
