“My friend and I drove to B-Side Social from Niagara after winning a dozen free oysters and it did not disappoint! 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. The owner (I think) or at least the GM came and chatted with us a few times, she had great energy! Our server Autumn was super cute and did a bang up job! Will def recommend and return!“

“I usually don’t write reviews, but my experience was so wonderful that I had to give 5 stars. I planned a brunch for myself and 5 friends, and from the moment we walked in, the vibe of the place was beautiful. From the good food to the set up of the chairs and cutlery, everything was so well done! The service was great as the staff were very friendly, accommodating, and patient. We were also able to have a great conversation since our spot was quite private and it wasn’t loud in the restaurant. Overall, this was a great experience and we can’t wait till our next ladies brunch!“

“This has become my go-to spot after work for the past 3-4 weeks, and it's now my favourite late-night place in Hamilton. I always order the Crispy Chicken Combo - hands down the best burger in town. The first time I came here, Sana, one of the staff members, helped me choose the perfect toppings. Her excellent communication skills and friendly service made the experience memorable, and ever since, l've been coming back for more.“

“We joined friends for a lovely meal yesterday. Of course there were a variety of dishes from which to choose; but with all the reviews and reccomendations it made our choices difficult. We ended up ordering the meatballs with garlic bread, a definite hit!, the Pizza Fuks, the Flat Iron steak with rapini, Oysters, Seafood Risotto and mushroom Gnocchi. All were excellent. We first tried Born & Raised when they opened; we found the wait staff then very arrogent , which soured our experience. So we tried again, after hearing good things from friends and family; so 10 years later tried again. Boy are we glad we did! Wait staff were very friendly, easy to talk to and as a celiac, my only disappointment was I was told I could not have the gnocchi. Our drinks were prepared well and the food again, was outstanding! We definitely will return, thank you to all in the restaurant that made our night out so great. Major kudos to the chef and kitchen!“

My only quip is when I booked I asked for a table and not a high top. We took the high top but might have been nice to have the hostesses confirm seating before being seated. Even with that, will definitely be back.“

“As a senior, I’ve struggled with my hearing when out etc. I went to Harvey’s on Upper Ottawa after my local dump run. The gentleman named Chris was so helpful and patient with me. He took the time to help me get the lunch I needed. The restaurant is clean, friendly and most of all the food was delicious! What Chris didn’t know was I’m recently widowed and it’s hard for me to eat solo etc. Having a great conversation with him just made that task more doable! Thank you!

Parking: Great parking!“

“My friend and I had an early dinner tonight at the location at 735 Queenston Rd, in Hamilton. Our server was Madeline and she was just great. Have not seen her there before but she was such a great server, humerous, kind and helpful in making our choices. The baked potatoes needed five minutes to go before they were reeady and she was apologetic but it was well worth the wait. Everything was hot and fresh and Madeline made our visit there delightful. We were there from 4 until 5:00 if this is helpful. We do go there a lot but this meal was absolutely the best. Top rating today, without a doubt.“

If we are in a hurry we eat at home or go to a fast food establishment. They have numerous specials, their pizza is excellent and the ice bar rail at the main bar is functional.
