The food here is AMAZING. Worth every penny. I don't where the chef came from but that man is a STAR! Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will return again and again. If they tell you that the squash is on as a special, YOU MUST GET IT. The best squash I have ever eaten in my entire life. This place is a 10/10 ?

We recently had an early dinner here and were impressed by the fantastic service from the staff, who paid great attention to detail. We ordered several small plates and wine, and the ambience was exceptional, great to see the new renovations. Although it had been a while since our last visit, we were delighted to return and enjoy a meal. We will definitely be back soon, and I'm eager to try the puffed potatoes.

My partner and I have been here 5 times now and it's been amazing food and drinks every single time. The menu is always extremely well thought out and executed, drinks are always consistently well-made with perfect ratios and service is always quick and attentive. (Special mention to the butternut squash dumplings we just had on Saturday - absolute 10/10) Our new favourite dinner spot in town for sure!

Best meal I've ever had. Whoever snagged that chef is one lucky lady. I'll be back.

Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service, what an experience! The puffed potatoes were 10/10, oysters were fresh and beautifully prepared; however, my favourite part of the meal was the tiger shrimp— seasoned and grilled to perfection ?. Thank you, will definitely be back soon.

Our server was awesome! Very attentive, nice, and knowledgeable.
I got the snapper and it was bad. A strange mish-mash of flavors and still somehow bland (I ate about half of it, and I ALWAYS clean my plate).
The puffed potatoes were just okay. We ate all of these.
The best thing was my husband's queso burger. We ate all of this as well, but it is pretty hard to mess up a burger.
The drinks were bad and overpriced. I got a new drink they were offering (strawberry mojito) and it was sweet but watery. They did offer to get me another. My husband got an Arnold palmer and it was sour. We finished the drinks.
The atmosphere was good. A little loud and my chair wobbled, but it was cute and clean.
I would have given this place 2-3 stars, but my husband left a two star review, and the weirdos called him and asked him why. I find this to be very very strange and invasive. Ruined the whole experience for me and I will not be returning.

The restaurant is only by reservation so I ordered to take out. The loaded puffed potato and yuca fries were so delicious. I can’t wait to get back to try other things.

On the Lam is such a great place to have dinner. The vibes are 10/10 every single time. The waygu steak literally melts in your mouth & is totally worth the higher price point. If you’re looking for a super cozy intimate dinner date this is definitely the place to be. So much better than the keg. Love that it is local and they use locally sourced foods. The menu changes based on the season and what is available locally. The steak is cooked perfect every single time. The puffed potatoes are to die for. You won’t regret those.

This is a beautiful hidden gem, upon my arrival I was greeted with a couple who asked if we have been here before our answer was no; they stated how great it was. After entering we were seated quickly. Our server was polite and helpful.
Everything I ordered was delicious. Osters(wish I got more), steak ?, and the fried potatoes bites.
I didn't use the restroom but I wish I did because I heard there are great photos of this establishment journey.
My partner shaked the chefs hand when we were done. I'm currently thinking I would like to have my bday dinner at thus location. Scott will probably here from me in a couple weeks.
Keep up the great work team.

My friends and I had an absolutely amazing meal at On The Lam this past Thursday. We threw a birthday party (25+ people). The service was stellar, every drink I had was delicious and beautifully presented (White Linen, Espresso Martini).

At my table we tried the Oysters (beautifully shucked and the cucumber mignonette was top), Baby Arugula salad (super refreshing), Potato Puffs (what dreams are made of), Fried Chicken (juicy and saucy), The charred peppers (perfect snack). As my main I ordered the 15oz Crusted Pork Chop (It was so good and HUGE that I felt obligated to share it)

Overall, wonderful experience and I will definitely be back and recommending it to friends. Short drive from Hamilton and definitely worth it for the price, service and food quality.
