1070, 32 Stone Church Rd E #32, Hamilton

“I ordered their chef's special biryani, which had shrimp, lamb, and chicken, and it was just magic to my tastebuds. It also came with raita, and this was my first time trying out raita. The yoghurt base calms the heat a bit for those who can't handle spice, and it has an interesting sourness to it. I'm not a big fan of sourness, but this wasn't off-putting for me.I was craving spicy biryani when I ordered this off of Uber Eats, and I don't regret it. It was a bit pricey, but the serving was large enough for 2 meals, and it came piping hot. The only negative was that they didn't include cutlery with my order, hence the 4 stars for service.”

The owner is so nice and friendly and accommodating to a minor substitution on my husband’s crepe for a dietary need.These were the best crepes I’ve had outside of Paris. I’ve been to a few places in Toronto and Niagara Falls and this was the best. They were light and slightly crispy, filled with delicious ingredients (we both had the apple cheddar bacon crepe) and for me I had a perfectly poached egg on top. The grapefruit mimosas were also very good.The whole experience was fantastic and we will most definitely be back and will also be trying their sister restaurant Reunion in Morristown.Thank you for a wonderful brunch.

181 Main St E, Hamilton

“Simply amazing, every time. The service is impeccable; I've never dined anywhere that even remotely compares to the service I receive at Shakespeare's. The only thing that could possibly outshine the extraordinary service is the food. Every single dish is always the best version I've ever tasted by miles. This evening I started with the Caesar salad, as I always do, and it was delicious, as it always is. Every aspect of the salad is delectable, from the obviously homemade dressing right down to how the lettuce is chopped. My 9 oz. Striploin was cooked flawlessly and was melt in your mouth tender while the flavour can only be described as perfection! I did not order dessert tonight but I do know from past visits that every dessert item is pure bliss. Cost is comparable to The Keg but the service, atmosphere, food, and overall experience surpasses The Keg a million times over. The pickles, olives, and cheese and the beginning of your meal and candy dish at the end of your meal is such a lovely bonus to dining here, but my favourite addition to the meal is the scrumptious, buttery garlic bread that keeps on coming to your table. I simply can't recommend Shakespeare's Steak and Seafood enough.”

“We unexpectedly had a night without my young child. At 39 weeks pregnant I wanted to do something I can't necessarily do for quite a while once baby is born. Therefore I was looking anywhere in the area for Sunday night comedy and we came across this little gem of a show. By little I don't mean the set list I think I saw like 12 5-minute sets. It felt just like when I used to go to weird backroom events in Toronto to see my friends only all of these comedians actually know the rigamaroll. They had quite a challenge in regards to an audience there was a group of 5 people (of which maybe only 3 were stoned), me ( the super unexpectant pregnant lady) and her husband who were determined to really enjoy themselves, and a woman who I half think was an agent and like 15 comedians. Not everything hit but everyone was a professional and experienced and that alone I highly highly appreciate. Classic bar, interesting comedians, and good laughs. Maybe their material will be based in less heavy material with an audience that is more patrons than comedians ( like on NOT a long weekend) but a great show to take me back to days when I saw comedy weekly instead of annually.”

“The brisket - wow! Such a good choice! Pork belly nuggets were unreal (as said by my friend).I have a lot of dietary restrictions (no gluten, dairy or sugar) and they were able to help me find the best dishes, modify things as needed and even give me a sausage on the house because I wasn’t able to have any of the sides!Thanks for serving us well, Stacey!Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate you within reason! The kitchen is not celiac friendly, but if you have sensitivities, they will work with you!”

“Had the amritsari kulcha (stuffed naan) and it was great. Very flavourful! Had regular spice level which was perfect for me to still be able to taste the other flavours. Came with raita and chick pea curry. Both very good. Chick peas were definitely on the spicier side for me but very fresh and tasty. It’s just of to the side of an Asian grocer, so not much for ambiance, but the staff were super friendly and obviously took pride in the food they were making.”

“This place is extremely unique in having the biker bar vibe with good tunes and family friendly atmosphere! Sat down for a pound of wings and a couple beers before my flight. The food, service and beer was great! Then I’m trying to get ahold of a cab which is a bit more difficult then I’d expected…. After hearing this the owner Jim came over and offered me a ride, which was amazing! He dropped me off at the airport and isn’t the reason I’m writing this review, it was just the icing on top! I’ll be back everytime I can! Thank you Carson Grant”

“The restaurant is small but it has a nice atmosphere. I placed an hour, which took about an hour to cook my Chicago-style pizza, but it was very thick with the ingredients. I got a small pizza, which was enough to feed two people and have leftovers. It was well worth the money for authentic style chicago pizza. I will be returning in the future. The service was good and the staff was friendly.”

The platter with the sausages was decent, especially the cordon bleu. It was pretty good. The food is generally on the saltier than we are used to.”

But what's more important is the service. 3 girls behind the counter, working in sync like they've been doing it for decades. Kind, quick, and extremely efficient. And most importantly, the whole premises was noticeably clean. From top to bottom. Kitchen, food counter, even the floor and tables. We were so impressed I have no choice but to leave this well deserved review. Great job ladies! Looking forward to coming back soon!”

My wife and I have been going the past little while for a few pints and the live music on Saturday nights which has been really entertaining and enjoyable. I love the British pub feel here, I was recently in London England and frequented quite a few and this pub is very reminiscent of that experience. The staff are welcoming and helpful and the beer is fresh. Great all round place to go!”
